i was really looking for the nimbus atomizer but if you guys know any website that sells those or any website that sells one thats close to that please let me know ! thank you!
does anyone know a website that is selling the nimbus atomizer or any really low resistance and low ohm atomizers?

Avid vaper has 1.5 ohm HH357s... If its a rebuildable atty you can make it whatever resistance you want as long as your mod can handle it.....

It looks much like an IGO-S or IGO-L. Pretty simple design, really. None of them are "low resistance" by design. It's all about what resistance you make the wick for.
Here is one supplier of many that stock the IGO-L, etc.:
IGO-L Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - Stainless Steel [gv-IGO-L-Stainless] - $17.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Yeah... looks the same.. but the price of an IGO-L is around 1/4th of the Nimbus Price...
and due to the ample space.. you can do dual or triple coil.. but please beware.. that is for advance vapers...

and to the person who said "it looks kinda like the igo-l"
NO. that isn't even the question.. the advantage of the Nimbus in relation to this guy's inquary is that the nimbus has 3 post, which makes a dual coil build pretty standard, and possible to easily make a Quad-Coil build. there is also a spit guard to control air flow better on the drag, 2 air holes to line up better with both wick's, and a considerably deep well for the over drippers.
here is where i've personally seen them to be available. im looking to get another one of these myself.

That's informative. Too bad more vendors didn't host photos actually showing that. Double posts *might* make it easier... or the extra post may just get in the way. People are doing dual and even quad coils on Igo-Ls just fine... although the point of doing so escapes me.
The OP asked for one that is "close" to the nimbus. The Igo-L is probably as "close" as you are going to get.
took that picture off of some other site. but it's actually quite easier. this atty is meant for it. the IGO-L, i can't make a fair opinion on just yet. i ordered one from hoosiervape and it should be arriving monday. i am also hearing a lot of good things about a similar RDA called the DRA XL. i watched a review from Todd ecigreview (his reviews are pretty awesome, actually), and apparently the positive post can move around
closer to further from the negative post. but the air hole is only about 1mil, so needs to get drilled out. im actually looking to purchase that next, but so far im having trouble finding it. the nimbus on the other hand is actually made for dual coil at the very least. thats what makes it a bit more fun. i came across this one quick video when i was looking around to see if any one had any fun builds i might wanna try, and i came across this one where this guy was ripping clouds as if he was causing drought somewhere else in the world!

but yah, im pretty sure this video will make anyone who likes to make HUGE clouds want the nimbus lol.
Nice vid! I'd be interested in finding a vendor for that DRA dripper too.
I tried a pair of fat coils on my Igo-L, wrapped for 0.6 ohms, and it worked great and with a big enough air hole can make gigantic clouds of vapor... but it was *very* inconsistent across the battery charge (I use a mech) and found a fat, single coil (3 x 3mm silica) @ 0.9 ohms to be less of a youtube stunt dripper and much more what I wanted out of an all day vape. It's still capable of clouding a room in three or four big puffs though YMMV. This is actually on my favorite dripper (not the Igo-L), a cheap Smok RDA "Octopus" that's been lightly modified.

haha! yah. my mini octapus is kinda my carry around dripper for the time being. it's set up with dual coil (30g kanthal) and 3mm wick's. getting roughly about .8ohm's. pretty consistant. drilled another hole on the top half so air can hit the other wick also. the only two things i really dislike about it is it has no well and the top cap comes off too easily. err, and a 3rd dislike is how it leaks from that bottom air hole. great concept, but can't over drip >_< i use a mech mod, too. the only variable mod i have right now is a Vamo. it's mainly used for my kanger, if not, then it's kinda used as just an ohm's meter or a battery voltage check for me =X although, i do use a kick pretty regularly on one of my other mech mods. if i find the DRA XL somewhere on a US Vendor, i'll give you a heads up, too 
@tekk - check this one: vapelyfe robs quad coil - YouTube
I would never recommend an RDA/RBA for a beginner. Be sure you watch LOTS of videos if you decide to do this though...
And welcome to ECF!

I agree with everything you just said here. The Igo-L at least has a bit of a bowl to hold juice. A little gurgle through the factory airhole once in awhile but I've gotten pretty good about not overfilling it now. I tried dental floss under the cap o-rings... that worked but I ended up going to the local hardware store and finding some slightly fatter o-rings that worked even better. I actually have to lube them up with some VG to get the cap on and I'm afraid pulling too hard to get it off might hurt the 510 threads so I remove it first
Single coil, air hole drilled out to 1/16th (1.56mm). For $8 it's pretty hard to beat!PS My wife's smok RDA (in girly pink, no less, with matching drip tip), is un-modified and works great too. For some reason her cap fits tighter than mine does... maybe a bit of extra thickness due to the extra anodizing to get the color on it? I dunno...
For those who might have the impression that you need super, SUPER low ohms and quad coils and stuff to get vapor production, here is a single coil in a Smok RDA at around 0.8-0.9 ohms (and a bigger airhole)

Oh yeah, my other mod is a Vamo as well. Still use it once in awhile and it makes a great device to build and test coils on too!

Huge clouds!!
I researched enough that it's worth the cost over buying the other ways.
thanks
I'd like to know if there are other dealers in USA. I'm dealing with one who I wrote to them, they said there was a waiting list so call. I called them, put two on reserve. Now they are saying that they are coming into stock, and I'm okay if I had put a deposit down. They never asked me to put a deposit down, otherwise I would have.... What they said was to put my name down & then they will call me when the Nimbus' come in. Same story, different USA vendor. What's up with that?
I'm really hoping they will still give me a call when the shipment arrives as promised, and I won't get jilted like I did with the Chi You. Update: Heard that they will call back for billing purposes (i.e. deposit). Great news.

my only allure really to dual (or even octa) coil's is just more heat distribution. i mean, even on like an AGA, i've tried things like 7 wraps.. just takes forever for the heat to go all the way through, even at high voltages. god forbid the coil hasn't warn in yet, and im still getting tension or hot spots.. i still have an unmoded octo here somewhere **rumages through the tackle box** somewhere in there.. lol. you are absolutely right though. can't beat the price point! especially with the stock vape and flavor production
siiiiiiiiick!Huge clouds!!

JJ, I picked up mine at Vaper Venue in Buena Park and I believe Vapor Bombz in Anaheim were waiting on a shipment. You might pick up one quicker if you stalk the local B&M's around your area.
Looks-wise, the Phoenix DRA XL is probably closest to a Nimbus. It's double posted though, and it's main feature is a moveable positive post. The movement is very useful for fine tuning heat and TH on the coil, just like an adjustable air hole. It has a drip well that holds maybe 15 drops.
My main gripe is that I have to grip the positive post with pliers while I tighten the screw, so it doesn't move around and damage the coil or insulator in the connector. Not sure why the guy in the video unscrews the arm to move it, since it's mounted on a floating positive connector pin which sits in a silicone insulator, just like every other atty out there. The instability can be a big headache on the first few coils, but once you find your method, it's not so bad.
The easiest rebuildable dripper I've tried is the Smok RDA aka Octopus, hands down. Those thumb studs make the difference and should be standard on everything. It's restrictive in ways but is hard to beat in reliability, I keep one rattling around in the glove box in case of an atty emergency.

Selling outside of classies... Bye bye post.
@tekk: i had the same thing in mind, heat distribution, when i build my coils for gennies. But the solution is actually really simple: get ribbon kanthal. By its shape, the heat is much more efficiently transferred to your wick and evenly distributed. After that, you need to make a wick that is less of a heat sink, so that the heat received from coil goes mostly to juice and only very little is wasted on heating the wick itself.
