Drippers vs Genesis attys (flavor)

[ConradM]

So everyone raves about the flavor out of a dripper vs everything else so I had to try one. Stopped in at an electronicstix and grabbed an Igo W.



Threw a quick dual micro on it @ .5 ohms.





Good vapor production.


For comparison I'm running a .7 ohm dual micro on my RSST.


My thoughts on Drippers vs Gennys - If the genny is built for it, the flavor is the same as a Dripper. Given that my Igo W has more airflow (1/16th air holes vs a 5/64) it produces more vapor.

It's easier to get good clouds and flavor out of a dripper, but if done right a genny isn't far behind. + it has the huge advantage of a tank.







I guess if you're looking into rebuildables, I would recommend starting with a dripper. They're easier to work with and get results from. If you want a tank and to not have to mess with your device all day get a genny. Mind you, my experience is with a single wick hole RSST. Setting up a dual coil on it is involved.

Can't comment on Kayfun type attys but I plan on getting one soon.

Very cool. Yeah I am just getting into RDA's and Genny's myself. I've been fooling around with an Omega clone that provides great flavor. However, I just build my first genny atty (RSST) tonight. Just used 400 mesh with 32ga. Kanthal for a 2.0 Ohm coil. I think the flavor from the RSST is a bit crisper, but both are very good....

I am new to all of this (rebuilding) but I'm having a lot of fun!!

Mesh does have a sharper or crisper flavor for sure.

My personal preference is that ss mesh mutes the flavor slightly. Not necessarily a bad thing because you get the trade off of not having to drip constantly. I would believe that you wouldn't have much difference between a genny and a dripper both set up with cotton microcoils. I find that I get the best flavor out of ekowool in a bottom fed RDA or a silica wick tank like a kayfun or aqua. personal preference all the way though.

 

[ConradM]

Yeah so far it seems like micros on a genny in auto drip mode is the best of both worlds.

Wel, I'm no expert but tbh I have never been able to get a mesh setup working, so all I can comment on is ekowool. I run a 1.8ohm 32g kanthal coil with 2mm ekowool on my aga t2. The flavor is fantastic but like I said, I have never managed a working mesh setup so I cant comment on anything but that. Believe me, it took me MANY failed attempts to even get this setup right lol....

Vapor from genny tank is identical to similar size RDA.
Proof?
AGI dripper mode vs AGI tank mode (HS delete) produce same vapor.

Vapor from 15 mm topper is higher quality than from 22 mm genny style topper.
Proof?
Vapor quality from IGO-F beats all my 20-22 mm genny style and RDAs hands down.

gennys with a ceramic wick give the best flavor. drippers with cotton can't match it.

You want proof of my opinion? Wut.

Some things to keep in mind... I'm using a micro dual coil essentially in a bed of cotton in both devices. The main differences are airflow. The Igo has a reduced area BUT my RSST top cap is even smaller thanks to a cotton ball. So in theory, why wouldn't the devices perform close to the same?

I was stating personal tests I conducted w/ my supporting data in a quirky way.
I proved (convinced) myself.
No reference to anyone else intended.
Likely others didn't read what my mind was attempting to express.
Sorry for the confusion.

From my experience the smaller the chamber the better the vape(production and flavor), I have a Cobra(now sitting dormant), an AGA-T2(my daily on the go tank), a Mini Smok Octopus(my personal favorite), a full size Smok Octopus, along with a "cloudy" Helios in the mail. All running 5/64 air holes.

Agreed. That's why my RSSTs have chambers that basically allow enough room for the wick.

So against my better judgment I brought the dripper to work. I gotta admit there's something novel about it.
