I've been using a dripping atomizer from smartvapes lately, does that count? I love it. Great flavor, good vapor production, easy to clean.

It counts. I've been using their short version with great success for a while now.
Damn. I love that people are keeping this thread going and I finally need to try that dern atty already! I had to pay for an alarm system at my new house today, so money is funny right now, but I will try this soon. Oh, and since DigitalCiggz is having another joyetech blowout, I bought 30 more. Oy vey. LOL
Sometimes, the classics are the way to go. I'm really looking forward to that RDA... just coil, wick and juice...
Anyone use one? I am curious as to any gotchyas... and how to even really use the thing right. I figure prime the wick with some juice directly on it to saturate, but I wonder how much juice I should drop on in there and vape.
Yes, the classics are for me! Thanks.
There's a couple people around this thread that use RDAs, but not many really. Part of the reason I set this thread up the way I did (to be absent of RDA conversation) is that I think regular attys are one of the best ways to get into vaping, stay in vaping and enjoy vaping. It may not be extreme, but most extreme set-ups are for blowing clouds, not necessarily for flavor. For the most part, this thread is RDA-free zone.
Plus, there are, oh, a slew of threads about RDAs/RBAs
laugh, but as of now, this is the only thread kicking for standard attys that's actually all encompassing (not brand specific), and so far, several have found a new way of vaping that is much less wonky than seeking the best wick, wire, batteries, add-ons, multimeters, electrical knowledge, etc., and not to mention the best actual device. I wish you well in your endeavors with RDAs and I can point you to some very helpful people (and they can point you to the threads), but in this thread, most of us don't go there. One day I might, but not now.
I have a question for the drips of knowledge. I've been all over the Internet and haven't really found the answer. I was asked if a HH .357 1.5 omh could be used with a 1000 mAh eGo Twist. I watched the video and the recommended volts for that omh was between 3.7-4 which is within the twists range. So would this work? If not is there a long barrel atty that would work with eGos?
'Twould work fine, maybe not optimally (though I don't see why not), but fine nonetheless.
Oh, Mann, just when I thought I was going to get through August without spending too much, you had to mention that DigitalCiggz JoyeTech atty blowout sale. Yeah, another 30 atomizers for me, too (just so the 40 I already have don't get lonely). Uff da. LOL.
I checked Digital Ciggz. It's odd, while I couldn't find the resistance in the product listing (I could have missed it though), it's part of the link. 2.3Ω is too high for me.
Joyetech 510 Atomizer 5-Pack (2.3ohm) | DigitalCiggz.com
2.3 used to be too high for me, too. I was a big fan of LR510s. With the arrival of the Lambos and the Vamo, however, I find I can get more flavour from higher resistance attys. All very subjective and ymmv.
They generally, for me, read at 2.2Ω, with the occasional 2.3Ω. Ι use mine at 4.8v when they're 2.2Ω (or 4.9v if at 2.3Ω) with great flavor, great TH, and more than enough vapor.
DigitalCiggz also has a coupon code, SUMMERYEAH, that can be used in conjunction with that sale.
Is that the case? I honestly don't know. I like and use both types of atomizers. They're just different vaping experiences. It depends on what I want at that particular moment, as well as what device I'm using at the time.
Most, not all, some, not many.
As you know, Ray, I do have an interest in RDAs, but I think this thread is helpful in that many people just hadn't seen one like it (at least in awhile), and if inquiring about standard attys, one doesn't have to worry about it getting too wonky, or being told that another way is better. Sure, there have always been dripping threads in the past, but now it's so hard to find a thread that isn't talking about rebuilding this or that, for some vapers (experienced or new), straight-up standard atty discussion was missing as an easy-to-find thread. Frankly, I think most RDA-only users would find this discussion boring.

I definitely appreciate this thread. Dripping atomizers don't get as much attention as they should because they're not as "sexy" as other juice delivery systems. However, they just work. That said, there's a lot of crap dripping atomizers out there. Thankfully, there have been some great recommendations on this thread. One of my favorite discoveries of this year has been Vapage universal atomizers. When that 50-percent off coupon is rocking (which seems like at least once every six weeks), I think they're a brilliant value.

Just reminded me that I got some of those and haven't used them in awhile. I still have some new ones too.
Have you tried the Smartvapes joint yet? That's next for me. Thanks to this thread, I have learned a bit about a not-so-deep topic. LOL. But, as you stated, and the part that I fear for new drippers of regular attys, is that their are a bunch of bunk attys. I talked to someone recently who said, "I tried dripping (in regular attys), but it tasted terrible." Honestly, I don't think there can be any debate on this: save for a "bad" atty (either a bad brand or just a bad atty), no good atty should taste terrible*, unless it's a terrible tasting juice, user error, or wrong temp, i.e., user error, etc.
Maybe we should list the most recommended attys here, or the attys most used by the FPs (frequent posters) of this thread. I think that could work as many people think any atty will do and every atty is the same. NOT THE CASE AT ALL! I personally hated 3 hole dripping attys, Bauways, and several other forgettable ones. I'll post my list after I hit these weights.
*A perfectly performing atty should make terrible tasting juice taste terrible, just as my Bose speakers will make terrible music sound terrible. Actually, properly performing systems, like attys or speakers, should only make the terrible more terrible. LOL

That's my experience, too. Now that my PVs of choice for dripping are all variable-wattage (VAMOs mainly, but also Innokin iTaste VWs and SVD), I prefer SR atomizers over LR. I don't know if its just my imagination, but---in addition to providing what I perceive as better flavor overall---higher resistance coils seem more robust.
I'm happy to get 2.3 ohm atties in the sale, but 2.5 ohms would have been fine with me as well.
Well, in my defense, it is just one of those little Smok RDAs... I think it used to be called the octopus. No sub-ohm, cloud chasing craziness... just a way to drip, but not as often.

Still use my Octopus - and love it - as a "sitting in a chair" vape. I have used it out & about but, as I like to fiddle with it, that's best done indoors imho.

No worries. My bad if I came off the wrong way.. I just want this to be a virtual rebuild-free zone, as it seems like 75% of the rest of ECF contains that stuff. I own an eBaron Dripper Pro, so I am not against 'em, I just don't talk about it here.
