Anyone whose looking for a drip tip for their OliveR definitely consider molehill mountain drip tips... You've all seen Lilly's new drip tip, well here's a new one on Cheri...
Their work is just incredible, and they'll work with you for your exact specifications

Nope but I will have to try one some time, although it looks very similar to a cyclone..

I went with A7 this time cus I like the way the posts are either side, just not sure if the air comes up through the bottom aswell as the juice

You will need to drill a hole on the side of the cover for the air when using as BF

When making a bottom feeder with a A-7 a small grommet or insulator sleeve needs to be added to the area of the atty's 510 adjustable screw as it tends to short easily. Probably a good thing to do even when used as intended.

One of these worked well for me.

How did you get airflow. Did u drill a side hole? I was trying to put an insulator with a slit somewhere for air but got bored.

Adding the grommet when used as a non-BF would block the air flow so I will edit my post.
With BF the air is from the hole drilled in the cap.

Actually I want to try to get airflow with the gormet in BF mode. The guys were able to do it in the Reo forum. I prefer to have the air from below experience since I have many side airflow atomizers.

the only atty I know of that will work as a BF and give you air from below the coil ala kayfun style is the immortalizer. others won't because they rely on air through the 510 but we are pushing juice through the 510 so it needs to be sealed, unsealed it'll leak all over and sealed no air can flow. the immo has holes in the side but an inner sleeve that directs the air to below so it works, the air shares the juice path so it can gurgle a bit but it does work, anything that takes air in the 510 will not

also the a6s is better than the a7, the a6s is already drilled for bf, again intended as air but once you do use it as bf air no longer can go there so you would need to drill a hole in the side of the cap still for airflow but that's all you have to do to use the a6s... not a spectacular atty but not horrible either I guess

watching other threads for new b/f RDA's coming out with conversion posts.. Origen2, and heard the Zenith 2 is doing similar soon.

i've been skeptical of the Origen because although it is a freaking dynamic vape it has deep drip wells which seem redundant to me … may be wrong there…

i'll have to revisit the iGo S … is it small? i thought it was same diameter of the iGo L.

btw re: wicking; i saw a youtube --- wrap the tails of the cotton under the coil (or coils for duals) so no excess tails outside of wicking zone and more cotton everywhere except the top of the coil…. works great imo.

igo-s and va cyclone on a reo grand. igo-s is tiny and I like it, but I get better flavor from Cyclone, but that could be me, who knows. I like twisted 28 gauge kanthal, 7 wraps on 1/16th. for some reason the cyclone always taste better. same size air hole, coil placement, etc. i can't figure it out.

excuse the dirty cyclone, it was the day I received it :)

the igo s is tiny, tiniest atty chamber I've ever measured, smaller than the rm2 even which is also a very tiny chamber. tiny chamber=flavor boost

ok thanks… your comment about smaller chamber = better flavor has me wondering lately… i've heard this everywhere.

but… of 3 of my best drippers aside from the Origen1, which are from Ti modders Ukraine, the one i like the best is Prometey2 which is a 22mm and tallish chamber, albeit half the chamber has filler.
The Gryphon is great at like 16mm wide but its warmer.
These have an air hole in an elevated post in the center, coming from the side of the base, and the coil is on elevated pos/neg posts, so its a completely different setup there, the air draw hole is probably close to 1/16th"

The Origen is 22mm but thick walls…

Pretty sure it's just me but I'm not sold on tiny chambers so much… sold my Cyclone and prefer RM2 over it… so i'm looking to the wider atomizers that are coming out.

I never said better, I said flavor boost, for better or worse, sometimes this is just too much though, and the vape can be "cleaner" and better tasting with a larger chamber depending on the build and the juice... I can tell you for certain that all else being equal, reducing the chamber size does increase the flavor punch, I build an adjustable chamber and the effect is very distinct and noticeable and undeniable, but again this doesn't always equal better and I find that too small many times is just too much for me...
