Well if your talking about a rda Rebuildable Dripping atomizer, then there is no such thing as standard resistance. You build the coils yourself so they are all over the board. As far as a good starter unit then I would suggest the IGO-L or IGO-W to start with. Easy to build on and somewhat forgiving.

The op was clearly not talking about an rda. Dripping attys have been around far longer than rda's.

To OP: unfortunately I haven't used a sr atty. I prefer the low resistance counterparts.

I would suggest something like a Trident clone that has adjustable airflow control (AFC). A clone will go for about $20.00. An experienced RDA user has a pretty good idea what kind of airflow they want, but if you're just getting onto RDA's then having the ability to try different airflow settings is a big plus.

I just started dripping this weekend and got a Trident clone. The airflow adjustability really helped me get the vape I want. A lot of people suggested the IGO-W to me and told me to just drill it out to get the airflow I want. Problem with that is I had no idea what airflow I wanted and if I drill it out in small steps I would eventually reach too big. I know how to drill a hole bigger, I just haven't figured out how to drill a hole smaller.

There are a few good low cost clones available with AFC, so I would look for one of those first. Other than that, just buy an inexpensive clone to test the waters and see if you like it. By the time you find out if you like it or not you will have gained the experience to setup and enjoy dripping and will already know what your next RDA will be.

    IMO the only two places to look for a good old dripper are Empiremods.com & Avidvapers.com. The owners of those two sites practally invented dripping.
    Unfortunatlly no one even carries my favorite dripper anymore, so all I use are RDA's. So I'm kind of 'out of touch' with which is the best to start out with. However I would not suggest spending $20+ for a HH-357 to learn how to drip with.

    So wait a minute, you posted to make sure I knew I was wrong and to say "I don't know"? What was the point? Also considering that I was not the only person to think that the OP might have been talking about an RDA I would say it was not so clear. Hence the VERY FIRST sentence in my post. As this industry grows the terminology has become muddied and everything is not so cut and dried. I was offering up what help I could as we should on this forum. But please refrain from making a point of trying to denigrate someone for being helpful as they see it.
