I really like the flavor of small drippers. Get a lot of use out of my IGO-S, various ERA clones (small versions of the Octopus), A6 (available with 1 or 2 negative posts). Also dig the Stainless Steel rda from EmpireMods (known as the Optimus from MadVapes) that has adjustable air-flow. The Phoenix and Phoenix V3 I've been getting some use from, they work well for a vertical ss mesh wick set-up.
Used much less but still used is my IGO-L and Dream Fatty Clone. My Smoktech Octopus is all but retired.

The Helios and Vortex were recently released in the Philippines. I've seen them on co-ops, but haven't seen them in an online store yet.
I totally agree on the performance of small drippers. They seem to pump out thicker vapor and more flavor compared to larger drippers or gennys. I assume it has to do with the small chamber volume, I'd really love a genny that has a reduced chamber volume, basically have a deck the size of an ERA but on a fullsize 22mm genny. You could make the top cap thicker to take up the difference in diameter, but you might end up with a half-pound genny. I don't know, there has got to be some way to do it. Small chamber volume is key for optimal performance in my opinion, at least my idea of optimal performance.
i second the cyclone ..... whew! amazing storm clouds from such a little device.
fasttech has a clone for 6 bucks called the y1k nice little unit.
the v5 is a sweet unit also slightly bigger then an igo l and can handle dual wicks or even quads. but i see you said numbus and trident.

my first was an igo-L. extremely solid atty. built a bunch of coils/wicks on that. learned a lot. after i felt more confident building i splurged on a cyclone. i like that the posts are drilled through for easy coils attachment and how its made exceptionally well. its small but it packs a punch! its sitting on my provari with 8 wraps 28g kanthal on 3 folds of 3mm silica wick with 2mm air hole. vaping @ 1.9 ohms/5.4 volts/15 watts. the vapor is warm and sublime. flavorful and smooth!
i might buy a second for dual coils.
i say buy the cyclone. you've got similar sized attys and the cyclone would be a great addition.

The Chinex V5 is a fantastic dripper for the price. I picked up a couple from a coop and with a little tweaking it puts out good flavor & vapor.

Dual airholes, 3 poles for dual coil builds & an adjustable air flow ring on the top cap. And it's only 14 bucks plus shipping! I replaced the allen heads with SS screws for easier builds.

the numbered bits i have say 1.18mm and that what i used on the airhole, i never expected to see vapor like that from something this small lol i got two of the yk1's and they are built well. they are cloned so close they even have the o ring groove on the top just like the original that one and the v5 are amazing units for a mere 6 bucks. no one at work believes they are that cheap.It's YK1 and it's in my shopping cart
my only issue with the v5's as I have mentioned before is that the brass screw on the bottom of the 510 connector sticks out so far (and cant screw in any further) that the only mod I can actually flush mount them on is my Nemesis. I have a nimbus scheduled to arrive any day now and will be curious to see the differences.
1.18mm air hole, that's roughly 5/64. I used that on my Igo-L but it's because the hole was drilled low when I got it and the deck covers half of it.
I have 2 igo ls. An igo s. 2 bulldogs from okc. 1 phoenix v5 and an octopus. Out of all of them the bulldogs while ugly preform really well for a super cheap rba. They also have a big juice well and holes in the posts for easy building. I also have a trident on the way that I can't wait to mess with. Really it comes down to what you like as far as air and ease of build and looks.
I saw a few video on the Bulldog I think that will be my next order. I have the Nimbus 2, version 5, IGO-L on order now. I have the IGO-W right now.
My eBaron Pro is one of my favorite atomizers. Also comes in a spiral model. The pro is made specially for the Provari.

Totally just picked up one of these after loving my igo-l. I like that they took the drilling out of the way for dual, single, quad, whatever coils you want to build. I hope this thing rules.
