So I've been vaping for about a month now, have an istick and some aspire tanks and so far enjoying it. But I keep reading about dripping and am thinking about trying it, I've heard you can get more flavor that way. Any suggestions for an entry-level dripper that would work with an IStick just to try it out? And if I'm happy with what I have, for the most part, do you think I should even try? Thanks!

I love dripping, it's pretty much all I do. You can't beat the flavor, and even if you don't do it all the time, it's nice to have a dripper for testing flavors.

Are you looking for a rebuildable or a disposable?

For disposable you can get something like this 510 Bridgeless Atomizer - Stainless - 2.0ohm and you should be able to get quite a bit of use out of one, if you clean it regularly.

For rebuildable, there are a LOT of choices. Do you think you'll stick with single coil, or will you want the option of dual coil? Will you want adjustable airflow?
For a BASIC dripper I like the igo-l(single) and igo-w(dual), they're cheap but well made.

Lol @ the Corvette reference...I just want to try it before I go out and buy all new equipment. And I guess I would prefer disposable to start out with, I really don't know anything about rebuilding coils yet. If I like it and get into it, I might try to learn. I will check out the disposable one mentioned. Thank you for the suggestions!

I strongly recommend watching videos about RDA's on youtube. They will help give you a good idea of what might work best for you before you spend your money, and will also give you a lot of necessary information about battery safety, as well as all the options available to you. Check out Grimm Green's channel in particular for literally dozens of videos on the subject.
As for me, personally, I mainly use two drippers now - the Jam clone, and the CLT by Infinite (you can check out my blog here on ECF for my reviews of these items). They both have their ups and downs, but work great for my style of vaping. And yes, they will work on any device as long as you build your coils to the appropriate resistance. Check your iStick's resistance limitations, and go from there. I started with a simple dual coil setup on a dirt-cheap Nimbus clone, but newer drippers have many more options to tailor your vape, like adjustable airflow and the ability to use either single or dual coils.
Good luck and vape on!
 
I started out with a EMOW Mega Starter kit, then upgraded to MVP 2.0 with a GeniTank...
I wen't and bought some juice from a vendor and he let me test the flavors on his mech mod w/fancy RDA and drip the flavors (MAXX VG 3mg NIC)
Next thing you know I have a Nemesis w/Atty RDA and I'm now dripping.

You'll need:
Mech Mod (just grab a cheap clone)
Battery/Charger (don't cheap out on battery)
RDA (again go with a cheap clone to start)
Kanthal Wire
Cotton (Japanese is best!)
Ohm Reader
Small Screwdriver
Needle nose pliers

And lots of patience watching youtube video's or hook up with a fellow local vape enthusiast who knows whats up!

Good Luck :)
