Or any rba for around $50 or less. Christmas is around the corner and I'm looking to add to my rba collection. I've got 2 Phoenix clones and love em, but they aren't perfect. The insulator goes up too high on the posts and can get burnt, and if the top cap could be swiveled to adjust air hole location it would be better.
I like the build of the triveca/rainbow3/v3 in that the drip well is a separate ring that comes off to better expose the posts for rebuilds but they have that stupid ego type ring on the bottom and don't just come straight down on the outside like the phoenix. Other than that it looks promising.
OKCVapes.com has the Fatty and the Dribble, can't find too many pics on either but I don't think you can run verticle coils on these. But I do like the looks of the Dribble, kinda' reminds me of a 306 type rba.
The best Did clone I've seen is from Mountain Oak Vapors. Same as others except the top cap is gasketed so it can twist for airflow adjustment.
And then there's this: http://www.sulit.com.ph/index.php/v...EBUILDABLE+TANK+ATOMIZER+MODS+-+by+Yosikadiri the Line clone. Only one I've seen. This one is top of my list except for the fact that it might take too much work to get it. I like to order straight from a site, not track down a seller.
Not into Nova tanks, too much like ce2's. So top of my list is a dribble for dripping and a line clone for a tank. Anything else out there I missed or anyone know a vendor for a line clone?

I just like the form factor more on the line clone. Plus with the tank partially see through there's no guess work as to when it's time to refill. Honestly i'm not into tanks, I drip. But with everyone raving about these newer geni-clones I thought if see what the fuss is all about. Realty though I like to switch btween 3 or 4 flavors at a time to keep my tastebuds happy, but there are times like when driving or at work when dripping if a pain.

I dripped for two years and could never get into the cartridges/cartos/tanks because they just couldn't wick fast enough for my chain vaping. I picked up a DID clone (Griffin from Discount Vapers), a Pyrex tank from IBTanked, and now I'm hooked. It's actually keeping up with my chain vaping. It's still not as good as a low res 901 but I'm blowing clouds of vapor that keeps me happy.

If you're interested in bottom feeders, there is the A7 - A7 Rebuildable Atomizer - Avid Vaper

It can be used as a dripping atty but juice may leak through the air hole in the connector (like with a regular 510 atty).

As a chain vaping dripper , did you find the draw and feel to be similar to a regular atty?

Which Pyrex tank (From IBTanked) have you used w/ the Griffin ? Have you had to mod it to work ? Does it leak ?

This

VZ 510 Rebuildable Bottom Coil Tank 2.5 ohm, Single Pc - E Cig : Joye eGo & eGo-T | Boge Leo | Cartomizers | E-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes | eGo Tank

Just saw it a few topics down and ordered right away. Juice is above the coil so it doesn't have to defy gravity to wick. I was under the impression that only the G-Tank-US did this so I was pretty excited. If I had more money I would have bought at least 2.

Yeah, I saw that one too. I saw some mixed reviews on it as far as build quality. I need something that's built tough. You'll have to let me know your thoughts on it after some trials with it as far as quality and ease of rebuild.

The A7 was pretty airy but I was able to adjust it using a slim tank cone - just screw it closer to the bottom to restrict the airflow. I did consider drilling the atty and closing up the hole but instead picked up an Wyvern/A3 which is better designed for dripping.

This is the tank I picked up from IBTanked - https://www.ibtanked.com/shop-tanks/clear-tubes/did-clear-detail. It fits great, just use the o-rings provided. Make sure the o-rings are in the grooves and lube them with a little juice prior to installation otherwise you might tear it. They now offer beveled tanks which should look nice. The original ones have a harsh edge that should be gently filed down.
