Confused as to why anyone would use an RDA >

[anumber1]

For me, the RDA is for the full effect. Big foggy hits, intense taste.

Typically I use a kayfun/clone/style RBA when working or generally out in the world. RDA's when home. But the lines blur with my new Magma. It holds at least a ML of juice. Good for a dozen "puffs" and still gives "the full effect".

The Kayfuns are still the most pocket proof RBA's that I own but if I don't have to pocket my mod, the Magma is great! I still use my Igo-w a lot when I am changing up flavors a lot.

Seems I have a use for everything at some point.

I will still vape an EVOD out and about occasionally. Great for hazardous vaping (considered disposable gear to me).

I agree with the premise of the topic however as a well built Kayfun gets close to dripping flavor with a pretty leak free experience.

The fact of the matter is that rebuildable tank attys haven't caught up to quality of vapor in flavor density etc. That a sub ohm dripper can offer, but they are getting close, if I had to drip I'd still smoke.
That being said I have just about every genny and rebuildable tank available and I cab say with confidence that I can get a better vape in every aspect out of my fogger v4's than you can out of any dripper that is above 1 ohm.

I'd venture to go beyond that but I'm not familiar with drippers over 0.5 0hm tbh.

There is a solution however that the vaping elite have discovered :
Bottom feeders!

The key to button feeder being that it can handle sub ohm builds.
I built my own bottom feeder, I can run it as hard as I can push a vtc and. I am going on record saying it's the best device to vape with period.

Bottom feeders are the answer, pdib makes the best available for sale right now, and reo is getting better, the best you could buy today, and they are readily available.
Dripping was never an opinion for me, I hear ya, but RBA's are getting closer and feeders are the way to go now.

Vape on, if you haven't tried a fogger v4 check it out, if you haven't tried a feeder yule missing out, just my opinion, hope it helps.

Vapor!

What is pdip?

Here's what mine looks like

I made the cap on the atty on the top pic too.

Better air flow which allows for lower ohm builds I imagine. I use a dripper at home. A Tobh clone, which I actually love. Built my first sub-ohm, dual coil build on it recently. Heats up fast and hits hard. Thick, creamy, clouds of vapor, yet still cool enough to stand. Not something I'd give up my Kayfuns and other RBAs for, but fun to mess around with at home none the less. I have a horrible commute to get to work each day, so dripping isn't really possible all the time for me.

you need a REO for sure lol

For the most part I agree with you. Drippers IMO are best suited for cloud chasing but other than that they fall behind a well built dual micro coiled genny. There is how ever one exception and that's the Magma RDA. It has airflow like an Aqua and a juice well that can hold enough juice for 30 - 60 minutes of vaping. I can even use mine on my work commute.

My other go to vape is an RSST setup @ .4 - .5 ohm with 7/64's airhole. Good clouds and good flavor and a tank lasts all day. (I'm talking dripper performance here)

I've come to believe that people that use drippers exclusively are either cloud chasers or just never learned how to build a hard hitting genny style atty.

i got a few hits but these threads are 600 posts long, is there a site or do you have to contact him personally?

Fogger v4 will make your kf dusty on a shelf.

 

[ConradM]

For sake of discussion, it's a "tank" that is very easy to access, unscrew and fill with 6 ml of juice that's concealed INSIDE the mod that you press to dispense fresh juice to the coil when it needs it. It's all the freshness of dripping without the hassle / mess.

Definitely unlike a tank system and the vape cannot be compared on any level.

It's easier for me to refill an RSST and there is no hassle or mess.

Go to the last hundred posts and look for pics you'll see some, I'm sure.

I've come to believe that people that use drippers exclusively are either cloud chasers or just never learned how to build a hard hitting genny style atty.

Although I do like clouds, I am not really a cloud chaser but more of a flavor junkie. I learned to build coils on a DID and used Genisis style atties for about a year and a half. I can build a Geni with the best of them.

I sold them all off after getting my first Grand with an RM2 and haven't looked back.

 

[Tbev]

I agree with Conrad as well I used to be a huge genny fan but my feeder kills any genny, it just infinity wicks and none of my gennys leak either but I throw it on the ground and pick it up and vape on.

B2L knows what I'm talking about!

 

[BuzzKilla]

you guys make it sound like dripping is such an inconvenience.....

you know what is more inconvenient..... Carrying around a large 18650 mod (or equivalent) with a massive Kayfun tank on top!
Hanna/Kayfun guys... I'm looking at you!
Stop it, you make us look like weirdos!

small mod in hand with a short topper,THAT is convenience....
as long as you aren't vaping it like an addicted who had escaped from the clinic... you aren't dripping every 30 seconds.

small mod in hand, with 10ml bottle & spare battery in pocket.... THAT is all you need.



could we as vapers make an effort to not look like a bunch of junkies in public.... ...

 

[Tbev]

If your dripping first off, imo, it's an inconvenience no way around it.

And if your using a dripper that isn't powerful enough to require a 650 then what are you even talking about.... You carry a bottle and a handful of 350's? How many pockets you got?

I'm sorry I don't mean to sound like a dcik, but what are you running?

 

[Tinkiegrrl]

you need a REO for sure lol

Hmm.... I've considered it before. Thing is, I also have my eye on a couple of mechs, and a Wizard Apprentice Evolved. I found that I prefer tube mods over box mods. I did like my MVP 2s, but tubes feel better in my hands.

 

[porkchop_express]

I like drippers because they produce outstanding flavor and vapor.

I can throw it into my backpack during my commute it won't leak everywhere.

It is super easy to build, or rewick, whenever I want. Even at my desk at work.

I can change flavors anytime and as often as I want. I can sample other folks' juice right then and there.

Vtc4's last all day with a .2ohm coil since I only drag on it for a second. My Panny PF's have %50 more capacity but last half as long on the foggerv4 because I take 4 second pulls at 30 watts.

 

[Muggs]

All I use is drippers except for a Fogger V4. Most tanks can't keep up and I love the performance, flavor and control of a dripper.

Most drippers don't hold a lot of juice and you are filling often. Most except for this bad boy right here. It has a huge drip well with raised air tubes which allows a lot of juice in the dripper. I prefer this over a tank all day.

Stingray X with Omega dripper.... both real.

a 10ml bottle and a spare 18650 battery fit in those battery cases.... i don't know if skinny jeans are your thing, but it shouldn't be that hard to find a pocket for it....

And yes.... if you think this is inconvenient.... then just remember the horror you used to go through to have to light a cigarette every ten minutes.... and having to pocket a full pack of cigs and a lighter.... THE HORROR!!!!!!!!!!!


You know, if you put down the mod every once in a while, you may actually look like a functioning member of society....

I used to think box mod was super stupid looking, but the functionality of the bottom feeder is just off the charts, the REO is the one to get, the mechanical lp, takes any atty, that's BF ready. It's no mvp.
