Its very much like a vivi head.
Center post going into a rubber grommet. The only difference is the ceramic cup the coil is sitting in. Its the exact same cup as the old ce2 fluxomizers. My biggest worry is replacement parts. That rubber grommet will wear out. I need to try to rebuild it using parts from a vivi head to see if the grommet is the same, i think it is but i want to confirm.
Using 2mm wick, its hard to get them through the wick holes in one piece. Anything bigger than 2mm, forget about it. Thats my biggest complaint really. Getting the wick through the wick holes and into the tank can be quite frustrating. I ended up making a loop of kanthal that i fed up from the botton and placed the wick inside the loop then pulled it through the hole.
Out of the box, mine had a nasty funky taste. So i cleaned it all out and that went away.
I'm really not sure how i feel about this thing. For the same price you can buy a vivi nova with 3 heads. Since the vivi heads rebuild the same, if you can rebuild one you can build the other. So you get more spare parts to work with from just buying a vivi nova kit.

Based on your findings above, the only advantage the Drunker has is the 5 ml tank. I like that though. You have a point on the three heads. You actually get more for less with a nova. However, some say the flavor is better on the drunker. Hmmm...decisions decisions.
So are ther 4 wick holes or only 2?
4 wick holes
The only advantage i see is the wicks on the drunker. On a vivi, i typically rebuild with a single 2mm wick while the drunker can run 2 2mm wicks, although they are a right ....... to get in those wick holes. So the wicking on the drunker should be better, like the old stone tanks.
Another difference is in the draw. The drunker has a looser draw than the vivi.

Ah. I see. More wicks = better wicking. Better wicking = better flavor.
Does it go through juice like the nova? I can easily go through an entire tank on a 3.5ml Nova in less than a day.
Yup. it''l go thru the juice just fine. Now a trick for thr wwick is Saran Wrap ove the ends, twist it tight and put it thru the holes, then pull it off.
When I feel the need, I'm gonna rebuild with tight 500 mesh wicks, that should be fun....

I just got 2 Drunkers in Vapemail today. I'm going to give them a quick dunk in Everclear to clean them out when I get home from work, and let them dry so I can test-vape them later this evening.
Preliminary evaluation to come soon...

Been vaping on this new Drunker RBA all evening, and i am definitely impressed. The draw is smooth and easy, the vapor production is prodigious, and the flavor is outstanding.
It does seem to like a slightly lower setting than a Vivi or carto though. I usually vape (on an AcryliMax) between 3.7v and 4.5v, but on the Drunker, I'm vaping at around 3.3v, or it tastes burnt and harsh.
Wicking is very good, and you don't have to "tip and swish" nearly as much as a Vivi Nova. It is well-built and appears to be relatively easy to rebuild, but the coils do have to fit in a pretty small place...
I'll definitely be taking both my Drunkers to the Whie Rose Meetup this weekend for people to try.

I have one and love it. It only holds 3.5ml when filled completely. Not the 5ml as advertised.
My all day vape of choice is swedish fish from Vapor renu so that's all I've put in this thing yet, and the flavor from it is outstanding!

I got mine today from Sure Vapes, the shipping is quick. The Tank is OK, The vape does seem to be a little more and the flavor is better. It's other advantage over the Vivi is capacity., refilling is more difficult than a nova and rebuilding looks like it will be more challanging. I am assuming the ruber grumant from nova will work but dont know. This is not really a "bad" product but it is overpriced for something that is essentially a 5 mil vivi, no head's no extra parts hard to rebuild

Yup , overpriced for sure. The vcore 2.0 quad wick worked so well before failing, I just had to try this, though, cuse I won't waste money on those again. I still have heads for the vcore. I wonder if I can make them work here somehow...?
Does the Drunker leak if placed horizontally on the table? By the name of it I'd guess yes...
Maybe this is the wrong place to ask this but if im willing to spend up to 100 bucks what would you guys recommend for my first RBA? i was thinking about the drunker but this thread kind of made it sound meh, and i heard a lot of other names tossed out here. I use many carto tanks and disposable atomizers, just never had the background knowledge to know what kind of RBA is best so i never got one. Maybe even tell me what kind of coil and wick id have to buy to replace it? Im really clueless on this subject lol
yes it does. It not gonna come gushing out but it will leak out.
i was doing the lasso as well but then i saw the tip to just take some syran wrap and put that around the end of the wick, feed it through, remove the syran and put i on the next end till you get all 4. Works like a charm.
