:banana:I'm pretty pleased with myself.

It's nothing special, so I'm not even going to post pictures, mostly because I'd be embarrassed. It's an Omega clone from fasttech. I just wrapped a 4/5 coil of 28 gauge around maybe an inch or two of Ekowool and came out with something actually works pretty well. I had tried using cotton and micro coils in the past and had absolutely no success with it. The Ekowool seems a bit more forgiving.

The only problems I'm having now vapor production really. It's its not that it doesn't produce enough vapor, it's that it doesn't produce enough vapor the way I like vape. This is probably more of an atomizer issue than a build issue. I like mouth to lung hits. I was a smoker that's how I smoked. The problem is I can't get much vapor on this atty from a mouth to lung inhale. If I open the air hole up and take a big lung hit it works great, but I'm not interested in that. Not trying to blow clouds or anything, not trying to get sub-ohm crazy, just really enjoy the options a dripper gives me. I'm starting to think I need better air control, or even just less air in general. I have a little smok mini rda that has a single tiny little air hole and I like the way that hits. Maybe I'll just go rebuild that...

Ok, lol, I apologize for the unorganized thought process above. I guess the real title of this thread should be "Can You Recommend an RDA with Restrictive Airflow That Works Well?":facepalm:

I like the IGO-L for restrictive airflow. A lot of people drill out the stock air hole to loosen up the draw, but I like it the way it is.
I'm the same as you as far as mouth to lungs hits go. I have a TOBH RDA that is WAAAY too airy.

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I ordered one from Fasttech last week. (and Igo L and and Igo M).
