I too have allways been a dripper... the only way to fly IMO... Hows does that Vapemate workout for you? I never tried one...
River, I'm not gonna lie to you. I bought my first vapemate right at the time that it came out. I ended up not being a fan at all. I was flooding regular atomizers up and down. On top of it, Dave's first design did not have a funnel port under the driptip placement, consequently, I also ended up sucking a lot of juice.
His new, and current one, has a funnel design right under the placement hole for the driptip. Now, you add this to the current batch of dripping rba's that have deeper wells and accept more wick material than your mass produced atomizers, and you got yourself a pure winner
The dripper RBA's of today like the A7, Fatty, eBaron Dripper, Hornet, and so many others are much more tolerant of a little flooding due to the mentioned advantages.
The vapemate became as a "symbiont" to my PV. If I leave the house, I got my vapemate in one of my pockets.
So if you drip, River (which you do, lol) the vapemate is a heck of a purchase for those times that you cannot take your eyes of the road
Apologies for the long post.
