I'm relatively new to vaping. I've only been doing it a few months. Started out with an Ego with a disposable tank/atomizer and just picked up a Provari Mini. The Provari came with a Protank 2 which I'm fine with when I'm at work or out and about. However, when I'm sitting at home, I would like the option to be able switch up what flavors I'm using without needing to chain vape out the rest of my tank or try and put the juice back in the bottles. Can anyone recommend a good drip atomizer for someone that is only going to use it for a fraction of their day? Cost isn't too big of an issue because I believe you really do get what you pay for but I also do not want to spend a lot being it's my first one and will not get nearly as much use as my tank based atomizer. Any info or personal experiences are appreciated.

Get a couple each (primary and backup) of the following (and a good 510 drip tip if you don't have one)
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.5ohm
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm
Measure them on your ohmmeter as soon as you get them. The only warranty on them is DOA.
Hold them plumb (vertical in two planes) and drip no more than 4 drops on the coil the first use. Vape until they begin tasting dry, then add about two to three more drops and repeat.
If one gurgles, remove it from the mod and blow it out. Don't add so much juice next time.
My characteristics of a flavorful dripper:
- all/most of the liquid is in the coil, not being precooked in long wicks or in a bowl below it
- the coil is directly below the drip tip--one drips fresh, uncooked juice directly onto the coil, not into a bowl or a big wad of wick, where it is cooked while wicking to the coil
- the wick ends barely extend past the coil--one drips no more than a couple of drops at a time directly onto the coil and four drops or more can flood it
- the air travels in a straight line from the electrical connector, up around and past the coil, into the drip tip, into you--not from the side of a top cap
- it doesn't have screw posts to interfere with air flow and add mass
- it has minimal mass to suck the heat out of the vapor along with minimal volume for concentration of flavor

From everything I know, you can't go wrong with an igo-w. It may not be the prettiest or the most prestigious on the market, but it is versatile in builds and works well. FYI, i have one, as well as a trident, a nimbus, and an omega. For the price and the amount you plan on dripping I think the igo will do you just fine.
I just ordered a nimbus. I'm hoping it is a good dripper... First drip tank for me. So I hope it's not too hard.
Another thing you could try is a rebuildable. The Igo-L is great to start out with. And the only thing you would have to buy extra is wick (I use organic cotton balls) and wire for the coil ( 28 guage kanthal like $5-$6 on ebay for a crap ton of it.) Just an idea.
I have an igo-W, an igo-L, and a nimbus. The W and Nimbus have the air holes drilled out to 1/16" (I like to lung inhale) and the L has the hole drilled to 3/8". Of the three, my favorite is by far the nimbus. That said, if the looks don't matter to you then I would also recommend the igo-W since it is functionally similar. It has triple posts to allow for dual coils, holes in the post (no wrapping wire under screw heads), and it vapes perfectly fine with a single coil setup which is what I have in both the W and nimbus.
I also thought my drippers wouldn't get as much use as my tanks... but then I tasted my juice like never before. XD

I suggest rebuildables. Drip atomizers are great, but dry burning and changing a wick is easier than trying to get the flavor out of the bridged or bridgeless. Nano coils on cotton beds is the best way to try multiple juices..
It's hard to get a high resistance nano pressed with pliers and still look pretty..but look into single coils first. I need a jig before I try to get a multiple coil synchronous again. Plus, I keep forgetting to take the edges off the screws, so I haven't been using the holes for contacts on igow.
If you don't want to go the rebuildable route, bridgeless atomizers with a sealed post. You can get an unsealed post for things like the aurora or surge tank, but I used the cisco spec bridgeless on avid vaper before I stopped only using disposable things. ($9)...hh357 $20, and I don't notice a difference.
