Hcigar makes a good clone of the Omega. You can get one for less than $30 on eBay.

Another you might look in to is the new Igo-M. It has TRIPLE air holes ON EACH SIDE (each 2mm in diameter for a total of 6mm PER SIDE). Of course it has adjustable air flow too so you can use all of them or just a portion of one of them.

It produces monster clouds and is simple. WHat makes it so easy is the dual positive post configuration. It uses the same positive, but the post Ts out and provides two holes for your kanthal on the positive post, which is REALLY NICE if you're using thicker gauge wire. You don't need to double up in one hole, making your life difficult.

I second the Omega. It's not easy to build on, but it's cheap and made specifically for cloud chasing.

As tempting as that sounds...hmmm....I'm just thinking there has to be more out there that produces the clouds, yet "simpler" to build on. Between my two kids I don't get a whole lot of extra time lol!

I appreciate the suggestions folks!

Many drippers are easy to get a decent build in them. Try something like a helios clone maybe. It has two positive and two negative posts making it a breeze to wrap dual coils and the deck is large enough to make this easy.

Sweet. How many air holes does it have? Is it pretty much good to go out of the box?

Gracias!!

Hmmm...do they make (or is it) a clone?

don't do it. the Omega is the WORST RDA I have. PITA to build, has fixed-position air holes. It is junk. I use it to taste DIY juice. I build it with a single nano coil, once in a blue moon, on a pillow wick for easy changing with diff flavors. If that were my only RDA I'd hate vaping.

get this helios with a copper 510 for... $18 shipped

you will be happy

4 holes, 2 on each side, with an adjustable ring. incredibly easy to build 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 coil builds (though 1 and 2 are obviously much easier/simple)

It is presently (as of two days ago lol) my go-to RDA, and I'm not chasing anymore.

The clouds have come home to roost

vaping 16mg, with NET, in that^ vid (excerpted from a misfire fix vid), so I can only do a 1.5-2sec pull

Should be good to go after cleaning it. It should have plenty of airflow for you out right out of the box as it has three holes per side. Many clones available but I can't recommend FT helios personally as mine arrived all jacked up. Plenty of other places to pick one up from however.

Cool. Does the patriot need to be drilled out as well, or is it good to go?

Yes, you will want to drill out the Patriot as well, or get a Halo cap from Cap It All Vapes which fits the Patriot and provides for adjustable air flow and more than enough for clouds.

In fact, I'd buy the Igo-W (you can find them for less than $15 on eBay), then buy the Halo cap from Cap It All Vapes and have the same essential platform for cheaper than if you bought a Patriot + Cap.

You can find the Cap It All Halo at Halo Cap by Cap It All Vapes – Planet Of The Vapes
