Focalecig has them for $13ish with free shipping. I ordered three of them and they arrived in less than two weeks. I love it and don't really see myself switching back to my TOBHs, Stillares, etc. The Big Dripper is amazing!!

I have had great luck with Focal, but this current order, 1 BD & 2 Patriots, is still outstanding x @ about 4 weeks. I hope it arrives soon. Due to the holiday & my office hours, haven't gotten mail since Thursday. How are the Focal ones? In the pic, seems like they use regular screws.

Apparently the Patriot bas fits the BG top piece & Patriots are much easier to build. The holes in the BD are so close to the wall of the juice well. It can be tricky. U have to keep trimming the tails of the coils. Don't know what will happen with the airflow with the Patriot base.

Ever wonder why it took so long for someone to design this? It's not complicated & it does exactly what people who drip want a dripper to do. What was the hold-up? LOL!!

I tend to spin my cap when I plunge the juice down, otherwise it feeds only the one coil. Are there any clones that have 2 holes, one over each coil? Maybe that would screw up the vacuum, but it would make the BD perfect & I could sell/give away everything else I vape with.

Got mine from Focal today, disappointed. The adjustable posts were very loose, so loose it was hard to unscrew the post screws & when I did, they were all rusty inside. Also got 2 Patriots. They had minuscule post and air holes. I can drill out the air holes but I can't the post holes, I'd mess them up. Bag of junk IMHO & I was happy with my last order from Focal.

I was very surprised with this big dripper. It works exactly as it should with no mess. I was a bit leary after using other automatic drippers (3D) and being disappointed, but this is different. It works like a charm! Loads of flavor and great vapor! For those which are getting leaking through the air holes, it's because it's deck is flooded. Don't flood the deck and you will get a great vape every time! This is a excellent product! One of my favorites! Very much worth buying. To wick it I bring the coils up from the deck, wick, then place the coils back down in the deck area and this has worked great for me. I love that the tank holds plenty of liquid and is easily refilled. Mine has been perfect. Very pleased with it and highly recommend it. No mess, no leaks, just a great vape.

Anyone using a single coil build? If so, how is it?

I lost a screw on one BD & until I got something that would work, I used a single coil & it works great. Just, of course, build the side where the juice hole lines up with the coil & you'll be good to go. The one I just got from Focal, the base is crap but the cap has 2 juice holes, not one like my other 2 clones. If u have one with 2 juice holes, single coil wouldn't work well.

I completely agree. Not just a great vape but the best vape I have ever tried. The draw is so smooth, it kinda ruins all of my other tanks & drippers for me & I will be soon selling everything else I have.

While typing this I noticed your success banner seems to have a math problem. Hasn't been 8 months since 7/2/2014, although while quitting smoking, it may seem that way :)

a friend of who drips asked me for tank recommendation and what I thought of the big dripper. I've never used one, so I'm asking here.

how travel friendly is the BD? any experience of it accidently pumping in your pocket or bag? how likely is it to just come apart or dump juice all over? can you turn the top section to block the airholes completely when not in use? has anyone taken their BD on a plane? My friend flies often and his kayfuns are problematic in that regard.

Well that eliminated that one. Is there a similar that does lock?

Not that I know of. My honest opinion of the big dripper is mixed. It does what it says it does, and it works fine. MENTALLY, I don't like it. I'm always wondering if I need more juice, so am constantly taking the top off to check anyway. Either that or I over drip... lol I think it's time to bite the bullet and invest in a Reo!
