That's why I'm searching for a user friendly way to vape these. My last attempt with an rba didn't go very well. I'm just not in to wrapping wicks and fiddling with poorly documented assemblies. I just want to vape.

When a simple rba comes out, with a simple wick process (burning screens with a blow torch? Shorting out PVs? Heck no!) I'm all in.

There are a few things that make RBAs simpler, though certainly not as easy as a direct-dripping atomizer. Some people are using premade ceramic wicks instead of stainless steel mesh. I recently starting using screws to make coils and found it so much easier to make a good-looking coil that's evenly spaced.

Or perhaps you should consider a product like that AMP Tank of Killer 705.

The only issue with the AMP tank is that it's perpetually out of stock. I think it looks great. The video makes it seem as simple as a carto tank. And honestly, I think the price is fair. High? Yep, but fair.

I've been waiting so patiently for Ahlusion's Sahara Blend to drop. I long ago finished off my samples and I miss it dearly.

I feel you on both issues, Mr. Shatner. I desperately want to try an AMP Tank and Ahlusion Sahara Blend.

My current NET JDS favorite is the eBaron Dripper Pro. It's beautiful, well made, and holds a bit more juice than most RDAs. The downsides are that you need NR wire to rebuild (I'm mediocre at rebuilding as it is) and if you don't want to rebuild, coil/cup units are hard to come by (I only ordered a five-pack and I'm already out). There are cheaper RDAs for sure, but this is a fine piece of craftsmanship and offers ease-of-use for people that don't want to rebuild. Here are some photos.

How long did it take you to go though the 5 pack? Also, give me some hows and whys as to the need to replace? Is it just NETs and gunking, or do the coils just not hold up for long? How long do they hold up?

I believe I got the Dripper Pro in February, but didn't start using it much until March. Three of the five-pack went to the Dripper Pro, while two went to the Killer 705 in that time. For the "how," I just followed the video instructions on the House of Mods site. For the "why," the culprits were Ahlusion aromatics and W2V NETs. From my experience, the coils last a normal amount of time (a scientific measurement). I'm sure I could get a month or more out of them from "normal" e-liquids or light NETs like HHVs -- just rinsing and dry burning as needed. As expected, heavy NETs were harder on the coils.

W2V messes up coils? I never knew that! :laugh: Boy o' boy! W2V is a mess, ain't they? LOL

Is the eBarron Dripper Pro doing more runs? Or was it a limited edition thing? Anytime something is going to be made that looks like that on a ProVari it will sell like hotcakes. Hell, anytime you make anything that looks and seems to function like that, it'll sell like hotcakes.

AFAIK, Leo is still making more, but can't make them fast enough to meet demand. The three sites I know that stock them (House of Mods, Greek Vapes, and 405) usually sell out within 24 hours of availability.

IGO-L + 1.3 ohm coil + Apache = Happy, Happy, Happy!! The IGO really brings out the nuances of a complex juice making all the notes just a little sharper. I'm glad I have more ordered as this bottle may not be around long!

Apache is easy to vape while not being light in the pants.

I'm into broadening my horizons. Out of the top tier vendors you mention, which juices do you rank the very highest?

I think starting out with Heather's Heavenly Vapes (Purity) and/or Mountain Oak Vapor (Gold Label) is a safe bet. Others can speak more to juices. I am recommending this blindly, but I just felt the need to (just because) without asking what you've even had.
