Lots of people really like dripping, say it gives better flavor. I'm not a huge fan, just too much trouble to vape, vape, vape, drip, etc... I do like the flavor, but it's really only something I do when I'm testing juices I've made.
I use a rebuildable tank. The one I use is the Kayfun lite +, EHPro clone version. I had an authentic Kayfun, but sold it because I thought the clone was quite good enough. I find it to be very easy to build, and I think it would be good for a beginner. There is a lot of room on the deck, and it's pretty much a single coil build. The screws are nice and flat on the bottom, so it's not hard to catch the wire. There's a bit of a learning curve for any rebuildable, but none of it is hard as long as you have normal dexterity. If your eyes are old, some magnifiers are a plus.
Now, one thing to be aware of... If you don't have a set-up that will read the resistance of your coil, you will have to buy a separate ohm reader. If you upgrade to something that can read your the resistance of your coil, then you can get by with that as long as you are not going super sub-ohm (which I certainly wouldn't recommend for you at this point in the game). Building nice, easy, 1.2-1.5 ohm coils would be a perfect introduction to rebuildables.
For a dripper, I have a cheap little igo-w. Nothing to write home about, but it gets the job done. There are a multitude of dripper rda's out there. Some cheap, some expensive.
In addition to getting something to read resistance, really all you need is the atomizer, some kanthal (can get on ebay), something to wick with (cotton or silica), something to wrap around (drill bit), something to clip wire with (I use fingernail clippers), and a tiny Phillips head screwdriver. Watch a bunch of YouTube videos, ask here for help.
Now, if you don't want to get into all that right now, you can certainly just upgrade your tank to a nautilus or protank, or something like that. I don't know what tanks the cool kids are using these days. Lol.
. where should i start with building my whole setup from battery to if drippers or tanks are better. Because I see my buddy having tons of trouble with his dripper. having to add liquid every 3 minutes seems annoying, but if it's worth it I'll take the risk.
