I have the K100+ with a basic rebuildable single coil that I drilled 2 holes in to take deep breaths without having to collapsing my lungs or draw blood from my saliva glands :-x. I use my friends provari to measure my ohms and I'm getting pretty good at getting a 1ohm wrap around the 3 1.5 inch silica wicks. I get great vapor and flavor but I am getting lazy now.:blush: Is there a tank/dripper comparable to this type of setup? I have tried the kanger tanks and I can not draw enough air through it to be satisfying. I want a tank to hold my juice with the same draw / breath I am wanting. I've read about the ZEN's and I am sure I will leak juice everywhere with those. I've spent hundreds now trying to find a good one. My wife isn't complaining much because she now has all kinds of vape stock for her twist, but I am done spending $$ online trying to find a replacement without some advice

After reading your post, I was going to say Kayfun too. Or the Russian rba, which is a Kayfun copy/clone. but man oh man, vape city. Holds about 4ml of juice and vapes like a Mount Saint Helens eruption. On my 5th day and around 8 tank fill of my current build. Used 400 SS mesh around silica, wrapped with 30 awg Kanthal grade A wire. Build metered at 1.5 ohms, and after 3 days is measuring 1.7 ohms now. The Rocket is another Kayfun clone that I hope to have in my hand in the near future.

There is a lot of rba's out there that will trip your trigger, do a search and then decide.

With a little modification, the SmokTech RDA works freakin awesome! I just got mine today, plugged the very bad air holes, and drilled the cap. Micro coil and cotton, blazing clouds like a champ... Grim Green has a great video on what you need to do to it. Very easy, very cheap.


Edit: I forgot to mention, I'm still waiting on my Lambo, so I can't check resistance yet. It quite low though, as I'm only at 3.3 volts on my twist and clouding out my living room. :)

I'm not clear what you don't like about the current setup, the rebuilding or the dripping? If it's the rebuilding, I think you're going to have a hard time finding something ready-made that offers the same vape experience as a rebuildable. If it's just the drip, drip, drip, part of the process it sounds like you'd be interested in a bottom feeder with an RDA on top. The Reo Grand with a Reomizer 2.0 would be a great choice in this case.

Im not frustrated with the rebuilding, actually I kinda like it. I am frustrated with the dripping.. Picture this... Driving along the highway and I get a dry hit! What am I to do? Drive with one hand while trying to drip some juice while talking on the cell phone and change the radio station all at the same time. I'm talented... but not that talented! I want a self sufficient tank that gives me the same draw/suction as my basic rebuidable. The kangers and alike, have high ohms (so not enough smoke) and I cant suck anything through it (in my opinion) kinda like sucking on a kinked / bent straw. Whereas with the rebuildable, I can draw a full breath through it.

Im looking into the Kafun's and the smoketech. Pricy, but apparently worth it. Can you pull a full breath through it without passing out?

A bottom feeder definitely sounds like a good fit then. Instead of dripping, you just give the bottle a squeeze and vape. It's basically dripping without the hassle of having to actually drip.

Lol we have the same thinking about the protank. Draw is so tight it makes me lightheaded. It has gone into retirement after 2 weeks of owning it lol.

I really enjoy my RSST RBA as I previously mentioned. The stock airhole is small but I bored mine out and all is great

Well, the SmokTech RBA is a dropper, but once modified, yes it has a VERY loose draw. Just depends on how big a hole you drill in it. I went with a 1/16 and it hits smoother than a hooka... Also, when built right with cotton, it hold a ..... load of juice... For 8 bucks I highly recommend it...

$8 for a rsst?

Lots of good suggestions here. You need variable air-flow to get the vape you're talking about. The Trident is a nice dripper that has variable/adjustable air-flow. The Russian 91% is a Kayfun Lite clone, but unlike the Kayfun Lite, has adjustable air-flow and is half the cost. The Kayfun 3.1 has adjustable air-flow. I thought the Protank V1 had a very wide open draw. I added an airflow controller to my PT1 to tighten up the draw. The PT2 is a tighter draw and has one less air hole and the longer air tube stem now.

Good luck in your search. Happy shopping. Best to you!
