High-end Dripper?

[Cjax]

I prefer dripping to tanks, mostly because they are really easy to set up and don't really leak but maybe a few drops cause that's all that would be in there. With the genesis invasion there is a major push for high end tanks, but where are the high quality drip atties? I know the Igo's are a solid stainless atty and perform really well, all except for mine which the 510 threads are so stripped they almost wrecked my mod threads, so it just sits in my vape box. For that reason I'm really hesitant to get another one. Sad as it sounds, the best performing and most reliable atty I have is still what was my intro to rba's, my phoenix clones, but those are made of who-knows-what and it's a poor design compared to the Igo-L/S (the positive post is known to pop out and the insulators slide up and get melted), but the threads work and the top doesn't fall off in my pocket.

I know there's some cool stuff coming out of the phillipeans like the Fatty/Dribbler from Okcvapes (the fatty clone didn't impress me enough to want the real thing, sorry, and the dribbler is just too small), the Immortalizer from ?? (just found this, looks like it's a nice one but it's made for kanthal ribbon), and the Nimbus from Vapor Labs (maybe best looking so far, much like the Igo's with 2 airholes and 2 neg posts).

Why do tanks get all the high quality love?! I want something that's built to last, made with quality materials, and doesn't require me making a trip to the hardware store to fix it b4 it even gets pulled out the box. Too much to ask for?

Maybe try one of the drippers from Leo?

THE DRIPPER

eBaron Drippers

 

[Thrasher]

the pro and spiral rock it.

and the killer 705 is the pro/spiral internals made to go into a carto tank with juice control.

Yeah, I forgot about that one. It just seems there are so few good quality drip atties compared to the amount of high end gennies. And when's sombody gonna come out with a Dripping Dual Coil Hybrid?

And BTW, Your sig sure is growing! Nice collection you got going there!

I agree, the focus seems to be on the genny-style atties..

But we have seen a lot more drippers come out recently. The IGO-L is a solid little performer. I bought the little sister (IGO-S) to play with too. Eventually I won't be able to list my stuff in my sig... too many RBAs!

The Killer 705 is also a good one Thrasher mentioned. Can be used as a dripper (and holds a TON of juice.. nearly 1ml), but I prefer to stick it in a carto tank. Dripper taste and performance, without the dripping!

Hopefully we'll see some new drippers come out, but I'd like to see lots of innovation in this area.

The Triangle RBA is an interesting dripper that's made to be dual coil (check it out at empiremods). I'm still playing around with it, and I drilled out the airhole to 1/16 like I have all my other drippers that will let me.

because most of the mid range ones work fine and not too many people want to get into the 70+ range for something that holds 10 drops of juice.

probably not really feasible as now your talking about refilling every other puff.

there are several on the cheaper side made well and using all stainless. check out the dream as well as the choice.
if you want to look in the classies you can also usually run into kayfuns and odys with drip mode setups.

How is the set-up on the Killer? Does it use nr wire like the Ody/Term. If I had to go with tank it'd be my terminator, and the Killer seems very similar with it's juice control.

Yep, sits in a ceramic cup and you run NR and R wire.

The juice control is only useful if it's inside a carto tank. In dripper mode, it stays shut.

Never tried the terminator.

 

[Thrasher]

uses res/non res. some people have rewired it with reg resistance wire. but its basically an ody juice control/drip atty section and you use your own tank.

uses the same ceramic cups that are in the ebarons

there should be parts to turn the term into a really nice dripper also.


if you look back a few pages here in rba theres like a 70+ page discussion on the killer.

made me mad lol the 705 came out like two days after i got my dripper pro as it can also be used as a straight dripper

anyways your takling about quality and the machining from LEO is outstanding work and very nicely done

he said he didnt like the way steel tubes worked when he prototyped them and mills everything from SS blanks

I thought the point of hybrid mods was to maintain voltage to the atty, i.e. they don't have a 510 connection to add extra resistance to the flow of energy to the coil. This makes them very good for running super lr coils on because they have generally a much lower voltage drop. Take that same design and apply it to a dripper with a decent juice well and maybe I'd finally buy a hybrid.

As far as the Dream/Choice, I had a couple. I'd rather mod the cap to my desired airflow rather than have to keep resetting said cap every time I pull it out of my pocket to vape. Just too fidgety for me, at least the Dream was.

Why does everything have to be the standard ceramic with NR legs? Is it for heat control? It just seems so much easier to build a coil when there's posts in a mod. I know some of these drippers are quite small to use posts, but the IGO-S is pretty darn small and gets away with it. Do the RBAs with ceramic stay cooler?

 

[Cjax]

I saw the Killer when it came out, basically ody guts for a carto tank. I have a terminator already and the seem so similar, plus anything that uses nr wire is a PITA to set up compared to something that doesn't, just the nature of the beast. Not saying I wouldn't get one, I totally want one, It's just not top priority since I have something so similar.

 

[Thrasher]

It just seems so much easier to build a coil when there's posts in a mod.

watch the video of the ebaron pro it does not get any easier to recoil then this, wrap one leg under the cup hang the other leg out the hole, screw on the top and done.. the only thing i can tell is the length of the neg lead may make getting the resistance your looking for exactly more of a challenge.

remember something like the igo is a side airhole and needs to have the wick kind of suspended off the posts, whereas the pro is a bottom feed you just set the coil in the cup, run the lead, done.

i had several of the cheapo drippers and none of them really did it for me, since i got the pro i use it everyday. at home and lunchbreak at work, this thing rocks.

if i did not have a provari then i would have gotten the spiral, same thing different lower body.

I was looking at the same issue from the other side (sort of). Just posted a thread called "Aggie's not a Genny anymore". Great dripper!

I wouldn't think they stay cooler, my terminator can get hot from chaining. It has 2 channels, 1 on each side of the ceramic where the wick and wire run down and connect with the bottom of the atty. The mouthppiece fits over the whole thing like a cap and can screw up or down controlling the amount of juice allowed acces to the wicks and thus to the coil. With all res wire, thoes channels would get hot, heating up all the juice in the tank, not just the juice at the coil as you'd want.

 

[Thrasher]

the ceramic is the only way to isolate and suspend the coil when there is no posts or screws in use.

 

[Cjax]

I may end up with a spiral. I want something that's bottom fed air to use with my ELA's airflow control. Hopefully that will be coming in a couple weeks and then it'll be time to sell a bunch of cheap stuff I got lying around.

Will that work with a bf mod like a reo? or does the ceramic allow airflow but not juice flow?

 

[Thrasher]

i dont see why it wouldnt, the ceramic is hollow in the center and slides over a regular steel airtube. the cup is just there to hold the wick in place and is open all the way through. i bought extra premade coils, just for the extra ceramics and will recoil one soon when i feel up to tinkering with it, several people have said reg wire works fine.

i just took mine and looked through it and can see light on the other side so it looks like just a straight bottom feed tube style.

Thanks, that sounds interesting. It sounds like it's meant for NR wire, but I know a lot of these can be built without it. I just try to keep coil fiddling to an absolute minimum. It turns out I'd much rather vape and talk about it on ECF than constantly rebuild and fiddle.

That Pro looks seriously nice on a Provari.

There's always the hellfire dripper if you can somehow get your hands on one of the 10? Or so made.
