The only thing I have not done yet is to drip liquids I have used carto's, cleromisers,and latelly rba's but reading all the posts about dripping I would like to try it as well, what would you Guys and Galls recommend as far as a good rebuildable dripper??? I have an Itaste SVD and Provari as far as mods.
Thanks in advance Nick.

IMHO Nothing comes close to dripping rba's, the vapor production, flavor, throat hit are incredible, i own several delivery devices but nothing compares to a freshly build wick with a few drops woooah! Plus you save a lot of money. win-win.

I got a bunch if rba's but i find these little ones to get the job done very well http://www................../Phoenix-V4-Rebuildable-dripper_p_191.html.

one a little more expensive but works wonderful as well Smoktech 510 RDA Rebuildable Drip Atomizer

also you might want some wire and wick. kanthal 32 gauge a1 is great i use it personally, also i use 100% cotton balls or silica wick.

Don't go halfway.

Take the plunge and do it right. Dripping from the top is for dummies. [Just Joking]
You'll get the dripping experience more conveniently from a Liquid Feed Bottom Feeder.

Get a Bottom Feeder like
VV Bogger Box- I have one and love it
or
Reo-Gold Standard in Bottom Feeders
Reo Grande
Reo Grande VV
or
Vmod- Cheapest when on sale.

Than buy a Reomizer 2 or ERA Hornet [Make sure it's bottom feeding model]
400 ss mesh pre-rolled and oxidized from Good Prophets [If Lazy like me]
28 Gauge Wire

I'm vaping on Stainless Steel Mesh and .28gauge Kanthal Wire [4 Rolls] in my sweet spot of .8 Ohm at 4v
It just doesn't get better
Except I have FC-2000 Porous Ceramic Wick and the XC-116 Ceramic Wicks coming in next week. So I might have to eat them words

:lol: This is like recommending a Provari to someone looking for an ego twist. He's looking for a dripper! Then again, maybe he wouldn't mind spending $150 - $200+ for the (experience?).

One other thing....RTD vapor has silica made in Germany, very high quality. Good prices on wire too and fast shipping

i didn't like their silica. it fell apart and frayed so easily, i've gone through 10 meters of it in 3months.

So, I'm not the only one. That stuff is far from tasteless to me. I torched some and it fell apart and snowed all over my garage.

Interesting. I almost bought this from RTDVapor. I just got some from Clouds of Vapor but haven't tried it yet (not German I don't think). Looks ok as far as construction goes but we'll see.

Sincey you're asking about drippers... Later on, if you ever get into DIY ejuice, you might also want to try something like this. These are cut down CE3 XL Clearomizers from VaporAlley. They're actually rebuildable. The guts have been removed and the tube cut down. They give a very good flavor because they're running on just a very small wick and the wire... no steel bridges/mesh like on typical dripping attys. They're easy to clean and switch flavors... good to test DIY juices. They're also cheap... $10 for 5 (rebuildable) attys.

You use them by dripping... just one drop... on the sides of the tube until the drop goes in-between the tube and the metal sleeve around the wick. You have to be careful not to flood them or you'll be sucking up juice.

Just an idea for you and if you ever need help with them, just pm me. In fact, pm me if you're interested and before you buy so I can give you a better run down on them.

You never know what people will do. Maybe he'll investigate and find all the happy bottom feeder fans and want to give it a try.
But than again he may want to take Baby Steps.

I got one of the Smok octopus for beating up when fishing and for 8 bucks this is a kicking dripper, i really like it. slams out the vapor.
and been using the rtd braided wick in everything from my spheriod and a7 to the igo with no problems, but i always loop the ends also so i may have avoided these problems.

My apologies, I actually purchased mine from vaporbase.de. It's also been referred to as the 'German silica' and was reported to be superior, but I don't know if it's the same as RTD's. It's loosely woven, milky white, and shiny in comparison to the usual 3mm rope I've gotten from SVC, OKC, and Captivape.

Interesting. I almost bought this from RTDVapor. I just got some from Clouds of Vapor but haven't tried it yet (not German I don't think). Looks ok as far as construction goes but we'll see.

that's really odd, I put together a coil with the wick from RTD 3 weeks ago and its still going strong, haven't burned it yet and it is still holding together.......go figure :confused:

I've heard German silica is supposedly the best. Don't know cause I never tried it. I ordered from COV mostly out of convenience because I was buying something else at the time.
