K100 best atty suggestions

[Calikev]

I have a Kamry K100 in route and am not really interested in using it for a rba or rda at the moment. (I will be using my protank until I am skilled at wrapping wicks) I need much more experience before building these.

My goal is to have a lip or small tank so I don't need to keep adding drops every puff I take. I've researched here and elsewhere and there seems to be TONS of options.

My research has me thinking of an IGO-L or IGO-W at the moment. I think these are the same other than shape of the cap right? I'm not going to do anything like super low ohms or crazy builds with an entire carpet of wick, cotton or whatever, just want to drip SAFELY and easily and not have to buy cartos to do it.

Any great suggestions on solid, easy to use drippers with good build quality would be appreciated. Pics would be even better

not all but most drippers lead to one problem when starting - those dang tiny screws and learning to wrap the wire around them - with that said almost all drippers are similar the igo l is bigger and i usually get about a half hour between fills. but im much more liking the v5 with post holes and phoenix clone (m4) from fast tech, cheaper too.
and quite simply it takes a few shots to figure out how to get a decent coil going then from there every dripper is the same really. not really anything to fear after that.
some of the drippers with less of a lip/tank can be compensated for by making fatter or longer wicks to act as a tank helper so to speak.

pop the top off and dry burn once in a while. and after a while twist up a new wick. I been doing it so long now that it probably takes me all of 6 minutes to twist and attach. usually every other day i will rinse them out.

i will recommend even if not buying the same one its always good to have a spare. i carry a couple ready to go. burn out a coil or drop and break it no freaking out just twist on a different one for now and keep going


on a side note when twisting wicks and coils i see others try to thread the coil but i use a toothpick with the wick and just wrap it up kinda snug, attach then pull out the tooth pick and viola near perfect coil/wick. few drops and off to the races.

Isn't the igo-l an rda? I have one and its pretty easy, although I tie flies and there are transferable skills there. If you really don't want to make wicks, probably a 357 or Cisco spec from avid vaper. I like the igo better. Way better for dripping and not difficult to put together.

 

[Thrasher]

actually if your trying to avoid building anything right now give some thought to a carto tank.

I'm just concerned about safety more than anything. I want a RSST and will likely get one ASAP , just want to drip while learning to wrap coils

Hi CaliKev, I also have a k100 on the way and am looking for pretty much the same thing. I really like dripping, but would love to be able to use more than three drops at a time. I'm interested in learning how to rebuild, but for right now I want something safe and easy to use. I was looking at the SmokTech "Octopus" and the smaller "squid". My main concern is safety also. It seems like some of these rebuildable atty's only cost like 2-3 bucks more than the 510 atty's I've been using, so if there is 1 that is really easy to use and comes built, it would be worth it even if I decided not to rebuild it. I don't know... So anyway I second CaliKev's question about the best easy to use atomizer.

The octopus is a great dripper for learning how to rebuild. I love mine, and have three of em.

Well, I cant really speak to IGO-L, because I dont have one, but the IGO-W is pretty awesome. Based solely on pics, IGO-L has 2 posts (pos and neg) and IGO-W has 3 posts (2 neg 1 pos) This make it easier to add a second coil if you wanted to do so.

However, I have to come back to a major point you made in your OP, both IGO-L and IGO-W are RDA's and you will have to wrap a coil to get them to work. They both use silica (or whatever wick you're feeling adventurous enough to use) and are much much easier and forgiving when it comes to coil making. I typically just double over my 3mm silica wick, use 30ga wire to wrap 3 or 4 wraps to get a decent 1.1-1.4 ohm coil. The IGO-W does have holes in the posts, so it's really just a matter of loosening the screws to open the posts up and connecting your coil/wick. Just remember to position the wick/coil so that the coil is neither touching the top cap nor any of the posts.

Once setup though, I've put as much as 20 drops in my IGO W and been good for a few hours between fills (20 drops = ~1ml of liquid)

Uh... Didnt the OP say he wanted to avoid rebuilding?

The HH .357 is a good dripper.

The OP says he/she doesn't want an RBA or RDA but is currently thinking about getting an igo-l or igo-w, then talks about dripping and wrapping coils. So there is some confusion... Not sure if rebuilding is desired or not.

Sorry for the confusion. I will be using my protank on the K100 until I feel I am good enough at wrapping coils to vape safely. I just recently started reading and watching videos on wrapping coils and want to get an Igo type dripper now and test and test and test until I feel I am REALLY good. I am pretty skilled at using my multimeter and have wire, wick, mesh and just about everything needed except the dripper. I will move into the RBA scene once I get the skills and will likely get an RSST when that time comes

 

[holy_handgrenade]

Kanj, yes he did say that he wanted to avoid rebuilding, but next sentence in OP's post asked about IGO drippers and what diff between the two was.

Hopefully now he realizes IGO = rebuilding required

Alright, cool. Technically, an rda is just a specific type of rba. Rebuildable dripping atomizer -> rebuildable atomizer.

If you can build a protank coil, you can easily work with an rda. The next step up in difficulty is genesis-style, which I believe the rsst falls into (not entirely sure though). I have heard it is the easiest tank rba though.

Definitely pick up an Igo-l or similar to start. The Igo-w is the same thing, but it has 3 posts for dual coils. There will be more room to work with in the L, but the W makes dual coils easier. Due to your comments on learning, you probably should stick with normal single coils for a while before tackling the more advanced coil types.

Thanks! I think I will order the Igo-W and the RSST. I'll get proficient with the Igo-W and then tackle the RSST

Sorry for the confusion everyone. My goal was to get suggestions for which RDA to start with and which was easiest and safest for noobs using RDA's. It seems any Igo (RDA) is highly regarded and the RSST (RBA) has good reviews here too.

 

[Kanj.nguyen]

If youre looking to practice, the RSST is not my choice. It has insulated wick hole which is a kind of training wheels for wrapping coils (no hot spots) but thus doesnt provide you with the practice you need for all the other RBAs. I learned to ride a bike on an adult one, just find it a much better way to learn.

My reccommendation is the AGA-T2.

I was also considering the AGA-T2 but was going to get the RSST cuz there seemed to be many people that thought it was better. Maybe it was just easier, not better. I do want to buy now the RDA and RBA that I end up keeping.

Based on keeping the ones I buy now, would you recommend the AGA-T2 and the Igo-W??? These are what I will buy now to learn on, if they are solid pieces to have when my wrapping skills have matured

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT I DO NOT INTEND TO BUY AND BUY AND BUY---I will keep the 2 I get now and those will likely be the only 2 I use for a very long time. (I know this is a joke, but I'm gonna try to do this)

 

[Thrasher]

(I know this is a joke, but I'm gonna try to do this)

those two will do ok. what happens is not so much buy and buy and buy more, for many we feel that yes the cheaper one works but will it hold up? where do i get parts or do i get another cheap on to replace it when it breaks?

so it comes down to i like vaping, im sticking with it, i like dripping and im enjoying it, why not buy one nice one that i know will last for a while and looks nice too?

new ones coming out every week dont always mean its better then last weeks, its just somebodies take on an idea that already works. when there is a significant improvement in design you know becuase it makes a real buzz.

i love dripping and its not about collecting but dang theres so many cheap ones now that can hold their own why not try a few. the v5 from fasttech is cheap and im liking it more then the igo even though the igo feels a little heaver duty. while all my drippers seem to work great some have slightly better flavor or this one makes cooler yet bigger clouds, or this one get hotter faster etc.etc.

Excellent choices. These may be all you need for a long time. Good luck!
