Is there any RDA that can hold more than 10 drops without leaking?

This is how I do mine....just enough for wick to be directly below where I drip....and keeps everything else open for airflow and taste....cotton still holds 8-10 drops

I'm going to have to build my Vision Eternity sometime soon and see how that goes. I've had it for a while but I've not had thin wire until now. I actually think it holds more than 20 drops in RDA mode, but certainly not sure about that.

35 on the clone version. but refilling is a bit of a chance event..

I second this one. From a fresh build it takes 44 drops to fill it. I just have small cotton wicks going down into the juice well. When I start getting weak hits it takes 20 - 26 drops to fill it back up. I do not take the top off so I just count off 18 drops and call it done. Some people have reported problems with theirs but there is a new lot of them about to hit vendors here in the states. Having said that I am on waiting lists for Origen V2 and Achilles. I really like these RDAs that can hold enough for more than a few minutes. Sometime in April production starts back up on the Hermes as well.

I use the genny to hold a big amount of flavor I really like and want to vape 3ml of it.
On the RDA I don't expect or want to use more than few drops, but I rather drip ~15 at a time and enjoy for a while than have to drip 3-~5 every time.


just an update, i ended up using a w3, this thing hold at least twice the liquid than my trident.
i still enjoy vaping the trident more, but when i'm lazy the w3 doing a great job holding enough liquid for my expectations.

i guess the biggest difference compare to the trident (v1) is the frame around the bottom piece so it's not really leaking even if i'm dripping a little bit too much.

^^^ Those four attys have specially designed deep juice wells unlike normal drippers, and will hold a ton of juice.

The Vision Eternity was mentioned in this thread, it also holds a ton of juice, but I'd really avoid it if I were you. The deal breaker is the post design. To secure the wire you must press these little blocks tightly over a pin, trapping the wire between them. As Reyden mentioned this precludes you from using thicker wire. I'm not even sure if 32 would fit, but it's been awhile since I've built on it. Those blocks are also very, very small and easy to loose, good luck building on the ET without those blocks.

The pin is also fragile where it secures into the deck, and seeing as you are forced to put pressure on the pin to press-fit the blocks in place it's kind of a disaster waiting to happen. When the pin's base/insulator wears out you either get hard shorts or misfires depending on how lucky you are that day.

My original ET failed after only a handful of builds. more recently I got passed along an ET from a buddy who didn't like it, and I used it for awhile with 34g on eGo batteris as a juice tester. I rebuilt it as seldom as possible, stuck with 34g, and it still failed after about 2 months. Every drip trip I tried except for the ones included were super loose too.

I think that's a fairly objective view on the ET, but I also have some personal gripes about it which others share, but I admit they are just personal preference. The vape is very cool, probably because the distance from the coil to your mouth is so large compared to most other drippers. It's all chrome plated brass too, which compared to stainless just seems cheap and lazy, especially for the $30 price tag.

With the ego-T style plastic tank flavor is badly muted, in normal dripper mode flavor still seemed sub-par compared to pretty much any other dripper out there with a similar build. I hate to be such a downer about the Eternity but I really think it's a junky atty all things considered.

Another option is to get an Igo-W, Igo-L, or Nimbus and put an aftermarket top cap from Cap It All Vapes on there. The holes are drilled higher up than they are on the stock caps, which allows you to raise the coils up higher and fit more juice on the deck.
