I've heard all these great things about drippers so I finally made my first build - 34g ( only wire kanthal I've got at the moment), triple twisted, 4 wraps, comes out to 1.5ohms - on my tiny igo-s rda. Wow flavour! I think I'm a dripper convert... Though I need to remember not to chain vape it like my evod tank, got a massive nic rush at 3mg. I have a larger RDA and an RTA on the way from fast tech. Need to get some lower gauge wires... What wires/gauges would you suggest or should I just pick up some 26, 28 and 30 kanthal to experiment?
I have an istick 50w so can subohm if I want but the igo-s doesn't have much airflow so I think it would be burnt hit central if I tried a subohm build on it.

I recommend an arsenal of various wire gauges. Experiment around to see what you like for each particular juice atty etc. I find certain gauge wires, certain twists, in certain attys can significantly impact flavor. Fun to play with if nothing else but I usually default to either 26g or twisted 30 myself.

I too, read all the positive comments about dripping and had to try it myself. I suppose that is the reason I ended up loving the reo's because they are the ultimate dripper imo. I would have never thought it could have made that much difference in a flavor but the same juice I used before actually improved with dripping. I have only used 28 gauge so far but I may try twisting some of the 32 I have and give it a try. There are so many new things that I just do not know. I was watching a video on staged coils last night on YouTube. I love learning new things but in all honesty, I am just so happy with the simple builds on the rm2 atomizer that I an content to stay right where I am at the moment. Good luck to you and have fun. Congrats on your build.

I skipped the dripper and went for RTAs. I own like several drippers(hobo, DOGE V2,veritasmarquis and so on) but I don't enjoy them. they don't give me the flavour people yell about. My lemos,billows, expromizer always beat my drippers. doing .... like dual 5 wraps with 20 gauge on the DOGE(god I hate 20 gaige. its so hard to work with)which ended up at .16ish.

vaped that that thing at a 110 watts.there IS flavor there and oh god dem clouds but flavorwise. mediocre.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll pick up some different gauges of wire to experiment with and some wrapping tools so I can get my ID accurate. Looks like twisted wire is a fairly popular build so I'll try and pick up a reasonable priced drill as well as I found twisting by hand tricky and took ages.

Darkly Spectr - I ordered an RTA as well and the RBA section for my subtank so it will be interesting how I find those when I give them a try.
