Looking for dripping RBA's.

[Fatboy 589]

Already have a Vision Eternity (meh), Optimus (0.4 ohms, drilled holes), and I just gave an octopus to a buddy (I think we have it at like 0.6-0.7 ohms). Got a Griffin and an RSST, don't like rba tanks.

But I'm looking for other drippers. Frankly, nimbus and other drips like that are waaaay too much cash to shell out. What cheap drippers do you guys like? I'm looking at some of the IGOs, Phoenix, and I think the Dream tank dripper.

Suggestions?

my two fav drippers at the moment.

while cheap dont let that fool you, two well made drippers, one thing i really like from FT is they all have slightly smaller airholes letting you decide how far to drill them open. i always go to 1.18 mm (give or take)

the small cyclone clone is wicked, its small, doesnt hold a ton but wow, sucker punch to the throat, and is a perfect testing dripper with a smaller wick.

the igo works good but i find the hole is too low and takes a little wiggling of the wick for optimal results.

IGO-L. The other IGO's are OK (have them) but the best imo is the good old IGO-L. Large, easy to work, works like a champ, cheap, pretty much sums it up. I use a cotton wick with a tight "micro-coil" on mine. I have mostly given up on trying other drippers, always end up back on the IGO.

Can't go wrong with igo-l. Easy to build and hit like a freakin' train.

 

[Troy421]

Yeah I agree I 3rd the motion on the IGO-L is great for the price

 

[Fatboy 589]

Sweet. I've seen a lot of those around, they seem like they'd work well. I'm gonna try out some others along with it. Thanks, fellas.

I love my IGO-L, much better than my RBA tanks or clearo's i use it all day long at my desk at home or work

+1 on this! the Nimbus clone kicks major buttocks! Can't comment on the Cyclone clone (Cy-clone?) cause I don't have one...yet? But I'm definately ordering another V5 (tomorrow, in fact!) Super easy set-up because the base is much wider than the Igo-l, and triple posts for easy dual coils is a big plus. I'm really impressed with this $6 dripper.

Nimbus... Clone you say? $6? Can someone vouch that site for me?

Fasttech is a good vendor, no worries there. They are in China so it takes about two weeks to receive your order.

Its a Chyclone lol. I should be getting mine in the mail tomorrow. Along with a shiny new KTS and some Panny cgr18650ch's

 

[Fatboy 589]

Aweeeesome. Granted, two weeks sucks, but I'll take it. Thanks fellas.

Here is the Chyclone. It is tiny... not much bigger than a drip tip. Hooking up the ribbon kanthal was a challenge. I also drilled out the air hole right away to 5/64". As with any RBA, the performance is mostly determined by the build.

that little cyclone copy has quickly become my fave right now, opened up the airhole just a tiny bit and its a little fog machine. my throat is all messed up LOL and i get all stupid and dazed out at work.

really built nice for the price im getting more just for backups/testing juices.

I own a ton of RDA's from cheapies to Filipino powerhouses. One of my favorites is the Phoenix XL from Phoenix XL Rebuildable Atomizer This atty has no plastic, rubber or anything that might burn or taste nasty. Hits like a .... !

 

[cghildreth]

Check out the IGO-W. Nice looking (once you polish off the logos), great deck, easy to work on, hugely customizable. Can't go wrong.

 

[Fatboy 589]

It's absolutely all in the build. Gonna order some off of Fasttech. Just want something fun to use and a couple to toy with. I like options

 

[wiizy]

are the posts brass or stainless steel on the nimbus clone. Thanks

Phoenix has been my mainstay for the last year or so. So big ups for that one.
Just got my Chyclone from FT and it is way awesome (plus its one tenth the price of the original). My prelim review is on FT.
From placing the order to vaping it: 11 days. Paid a whole extra dollar for faster shipping. It works.
I prefer the Phoenix for out-and-about because it holds more juice, it's a bit more secure (being a screw on top cap) and the deep well (which I fill with my cotton wick) makes it much less likely to leak.
The Chyclone is quite a bit hotter, being so short, so it hits HARD. Reminds me of tail-piping off my atties (no drip tip) when I started.
The flavor is intense, as with any dripper, especially when your wick is well saturated.
The Chyclone does not suffer from the sliding center pin like the Phoenix does, so that's a BIG plus. (I am a hopeless over-tightener!)
The o-rings are very secure; I can pick my Prodigy (pretty dang heavy) up by the drip tip and shake it with no fear of it pulling off. The top cap will not budge. (The drip tip is a bit loose, but holds for 17 shakes (I counted, LOL)).

TL;DR: Phoenix and Chyclone are both pure win. Get both for less than 15 bucks.
