Thanks for the updated list GMO! If it's the same as the one on your website, I grabbed that already.

No offense intended, but RDAs aren't hard at all if you buy prebuilt coils. The little screwdrivers aren't a lot of fun but it's nothing like watch repair. Of course, if you're happy with what you're using now then there is no need to change.

For me I think its the learning curve I'm avoiding more than the task itself. It took me long enough to learn what I needed to to operate a carto tank lol. Rebuildables so intimidatingly technical to me lol. But your totally right, I'm sure I could deal with prebuild coils... Hmmm lol

I was only referring to rebuildable dripping atomizers. Using pre-wrapped coils it's just a matter of picking the resistance you want when buying them, and getting a couple of little wires into the post holes when installing them. Some RDAs don't even need a screwdriver or hex key. You'll need to check the resistance on a APV that does that before using, but most folks that would buy an RDA have one of those. With silica wicks they only need to be rinsed in hot water occasionally and they last a long time. I can totally understand how someone with shaky hands, poor eyesight, or arthritis would find this to be too much trouble. If you want to try dripping but standard atomizers don't last then there's not a lot of choice. I don't know how anyone that makes their own e-liquid and tries new recipes would test them without a dripping atomizer of some kind. But again, if you like what you're using now there is no need to change anything. Also, if you rarely try new flavors then dripping isn't very useful.

There are some higher end dripping atomizers out there, like the HH357. More expensive, and a slight learning curve, but they last a long time. I got very sick of the lack of QC on the Joyetech attys and quit using them until I started mixing my own juice. I still don't use the Joyetech attys, but I do have several RBAs that I use. At first, I bought the RBAs just for juice tasting, but I have found that I really like the flavor and vapor production they provide, so I use them a lot. I never wanted to get into rebuilding, either. And it's not for everyone, like Schnarph said. But it is a lot easier than some people make it sound, especially if you are sticking with drippers, as I am. And, a bonus is that once you get the hang of it you can save some money, especially rebuilding heads for your clearo tanks.

I rinsed out a protank with a near new head last night. loaded it this morning and nearly chocked. DRY DRY DRY, whats goin on here!? I have had dry hits before on a PT, but not like this!!
Remedies?

Either peeps are slow learners or just stubborn.

See, while I love my carto tanks, dripping has a definite place in my vape life, I enjoy it, I try new flavors every chance I get, and sometimes I get "flavor moody" and want to change up every five minutes LOL. I could definitely get into it if I could figure it all out. While this sounds simple (actually more clear that 99% of what I've read on this yet lol), I'd *still* have a ton of questions and confusion. Heck I'm still quite lost on the subject of batteries, and I've been vaping for a year and a half. Took me over a year to buy a mod cuz I couldn't figure it out lmao.

I pick up on a lot of things quick, but for some reason, I'm a slow learner with vape stuffs lol. its worth it tho.

As to the topic of dripping vs. filling a tank with e-liquid...
Tish had it right, there are some high quality atomizers like the HH357 and other "Cisco spec" types that will do just fine. There's no need for a rebuildable. Some say the bridge-less atomizers taste better anyways. I haven't tried them yet, but I have a bottom feeder that needs one so it will happen eventually.
