Yeah, I own two drippers from a month long phase, haven't gone back. The one thing I just decided to get my feet wet in is squonking.Like me, I too build everything around 1 Ohms and don't like super airy draws.

Although, I ordered a REO and a Chalice 3. The chalice is 14mm, designed for flavor, and has a tighter draw (2mm I believe).
I'm a total RTA guy too, but a Chalice has been a fantasy of mine for a long time now, and it doesn't have anything on common with these cloudz monsterz dripperz that are all over the place these days. Even though its not my usual RTA style setup, I have a feeling I'm going to really like it.

I noted before that the P3 dripper version is like the Achilles, but with a larger air flow... note: it is adjustable down to whatever you like so airiness shouldn't be an issue ?
The Achilles has the smaller air 1.8mm (and not as adjustable... with an alan nut at bottom of base. I take it off).
I have a couple if you want to trade, but the main factor is the design:
Air under the coil - usually better flavor (imo)
This one (like the Achilles) is designed with higher posts so the coil/wick above the juice source - you have to wick down to the juice; its not flat with the base or even close to the base so it needs good wicking.
The P3 dripper posts and air post is about what 4mm above the base? (The tank has them much closer to the bottom)
Position the coil higher from the air source changes the vape (cool / warm) so they say.
I like the Achilles except for air flow limitations 1.8mm vs 2.2mm of the P3.
Then there's the chamber size; I seem to like a larger chamber. People often say that smaller gives better flavor (i.e. Cyclone) but I don't agree and don't really know why... or what I do different.
Side note:
You can make a dripper out of the Prometey2 and still have the tank option ... just have the wick go down to the base.
Since the coil posts and the air posts are about 5mm above the base, it holds a good amount of juice down there.
The P2 has an even larger chamber than P3 lengthwise.
I prefer the flavor of the tank style atomizers but crave at least 2mm air flow. The P3 works for me (and some others with similar air)
- gonna look into the Phenom Lite), but imo most drippers with all that air don't give enough flavor...
i have been using the Marquis a lot which is not too bad.
btw I could consider the P3 as a tank/dripper anyway, since I'm always topping it off through the d/t (at a tilt) it helps keep it fresh

Is the Achilles a dripper or fluff dripper? I might just be interested in a trade...... I took photos because I was seriously considering just selling it while its under 24 hours old, I tried closing off the air and its just is not right...... almost whistle like? then I get too much TH.
I guess its not for me..... I will stick to my Fatty..... If I sell this I will spend on a new Fatty V2. I guess I will stick to what I know works for this "old dog"
I'm curious, is there a reason you went for the dripper over the standard P3?
I needed another dripper, I only have the Fatty V2 and my Frankenstein dripper made of parts of 2 dif atties.... Figured it might be nice to have a 22mm sized dripper.... I should have known I would not like it.....I should have gone with the reg Prom III. Most of the space is just empty..... Maybe a shorter tank?
I goofed, my gut said I was not going to need it, but my mind said it HAS to be great because of the recommendations.

Well, unfortunately all the recommendations eye from owners of the regular one, hehe. Don't think they realized it would be much different other than the method of administering the liquid.
I think you are the first person here to get abs use the P3 dripper, hehe
Put up a WTT for a reg P3 maybe?
I am getting cranky in my "old age" ... actually a young 65yrs, but I've been at this since late '09 and I am still not organized. arghhh.
I have too much gear piled up unused, and even my best gear is always in stages of being fiddled with, maintenance,
I don't even know what all I have most days. LoL.
Sometimes I just wish there were like a level of gear that was similar to say a modern automobile... you know, 20k and up. Get in, turn it on and cruise... oh so comfortably.
You could just look at each other here, whatever model, and go ahhh, yeahhhhh, ummmm, isn't vaping just grand? LOL. heheheh.
You know like Sedge, and Q et al (wink)
Ok back to the drawing board.

I think I will just put it up for a straight sale..... I hope I dont loose too much on it..... Plus its 029 if 040 made.
Decided to edit, dont want the moderators to think Im "trolling" for sales......
If this sells I might try out the GUS little dripper.... looks more like my style......

I hope no one really puts much of my input as how it really is or might be....... I have NOT liked any of the new drippers Ive tried in the last few years........ I really think with my high resistance, single wicks on mechs that its not being used to its proper potential..... All the new drippers people love I have not liked for the same exact experience/ reason....
Dont pay any mind to me......
Its funny that "dripping" pre-RBA time, was the best way to get better flavor from the attys available at the time. 510's, 306, 901, and then the Genesis RBA came along.
I think that because of all the fussing with mesh and oxidizing, and hot spots, it was such a relief when the first RDA's came along.
Sub Ohms hit the scene about the same time, and it was just coil, wick and vape. Boom!
In the meantime somehow RTA's evolved, thank heavens, was it Svoemaestro or Kayfun?
The thing about RDA's imo is that you get that instant rush with a fresh dripped coil... Juice delivery
Unfortunately I don't get the same level of flavor from RDA as from a good RTA. Maybe all that air? or is it the design differences? I kind of agree with Rip T about the Marquis though.
Here's a question to put out there:
With an RTA I guess what it was designed to do is give you that fresh dripped vape as long as the tank supplies juice to the coil and with that good full flavor you can only seem to get from a tank atomizer for some reason (the design).
That said, do you folks feel that your favorite RTA's provide that ? with every vape?
Or does the vape seem to wane as it goes through the tank?
I think a lot of that is the freshness and condition of the coil; it gets gunked, the wick gets clogged, or what not.
Which means that you still have to constantly maintain your RTA coil/wick etc to keep it performing up at top level.
Hmm I think I just answered my questions...
With my P3's I love a fresh coil/wick... that first couple of tanks fills.
With the P3 I like to use it like a dripper just to make sure that coil/wick is fully juiced, for that "like new" vape.
I'll drip about 1/4 to 1/3ml in there every 10 vapes or so (3mg nic).
The Aqua2 is one I like a lot too and it seems to hold its vape quality, with a minimum of fuss.
Sedge, have you revamped your "top 3" (or whatever it was) list of RTA's since you started this thread?

I love RTAs. Most drippers don't suit me either. I'm all about the flavor, and too much air ruins it for me.
I do like my Magma, and now my Cyclone.

I think you did kinda answer your own question.....
I tend to replace my coils every few days.... I hear of people using the same coil for weeks and weeks, even a month or more...... I love that just wicked and coiled taste.....I am sort of OCD when it comes to cleaning a coil..... I burn it off, then I use little micro brushes to really clean, rinse and repeat. I even got some ss micro brushes for really getting in and around the insides of the coil and of course after all that messing with, I retest my resistance to make sure I didnt get it out of shape......
I just want a small dripper atty, with a small chamber, good taste and airflow like the Spheroid ( yes I said good airflow ) and the Phenom and well made..... I wish GP would make a drip short version of the Spheroid
So just to re cap, cause Im kinda slwooo..... THe Achilles is a dripper or a filler tank, is it smaller and does it have less air? I think if it is so, I might put that as a possible trade item in my ad.

My top 3 are the FeV v3, FeV vs, and the TGT2.
But much of that has to do with my busy life and the ease of rewicking.
Those three are fantastic in the flavor and vapor but they are so quick and easy to setup and maintain.

Pris, try a Divo or Magma. The Cyclone with the afc (mine is the older, tiny airhole version).

I like seasoned coils
. I even get upset when an old coil needs replaced. I tend to use mine 4-8 weeks, but I rewick every 1-2 tanks.I tried the Magma real and clone, no difference both were so well made you could not them apart....... In dual lower resistance it was good, but my throat cant handle the TH and my hands just have too much trouble getting duals right.
I found the single build just lacking in something, again, its probably just me , but found that it was missing something , maybe the way the air circulates unbalanced on singe coil?
I have not seen the Divo, though Id buy it in a flash if it was called the DEVO and came in a red DEVO hat shape.......
Ive been looking at the Cyclone, but the shape is odd and I know it would have to be "mind blowing" for me to get over my OCD with the shape..... Im weird.......
Here is an example of dumb I can be..... I have bought and rebought the GG Ody dripper at least 6? times..... Its easy, it tastes great, BUT.... the fact that the base has a rounded shape that leaves sort of gaps between the top of the 510 connection and the MOD.......
I keep wanting to get another one, but ...........

I'm torn between RTAs and RDAs. I love both and can't quite decide which one I like more. The good thing is I don't have to but I do kind of wish I could decide which I like better and concentrate on buying either RTAs or RDAs. First world problems and all that. 
anavidfan - Have you looked into a Derringer RDA? Very small, good airflow, great flavor. I'd highly recommend it. I enjoy my Magma, too, but the Derringer beats it.

I have almost bought one many times , but it scares be off for the same reason I dont get the Hellfire UFO little dripper....... I think it will probably be too hot for me........ I love the looks of both and the fact that they are designed as single coil atiies..........
Im scared to buy again, mostly because I hate to sell....... I always wonder WHY some one is selling off something supposedly so amazing...... I always think , probably because its not good, too hot, not enough air or they messed it up.
SO then I feel guilty selling something because I did not like it..... and it might ruin the rep of the item......
