OK I really love to drip. I have several different attys, my favorites currently being the IGO-L, the Nimbus Clone and surprisingly the scar after I heavily modified it (drilled a 7/32 hole in it). It is just a little bit of a hassle to drip out in public. Am I correct that some drippers like the Russian have the chamber inside of a liquid filled tank? How well do they work? The only rba I have used is the Steam Turbine and it is a Genesis style. I am not a huge fan but then I have never set it up the way it is designed. I basically use it like a dripper. Give me a few suggestions for an easy to set up dual coil capable rba that I can easily use cotton on. I have no interest in anything that requires ss mesh at this time. Thanks for all the help.

The russian is a gravity fed tank, a dripper would be something you drip you juice in manually. There are plenty of drippers out there for price checkout a trident clone good all around with a medium size deck. I would start out with single coils till you get good at it. There only one thing worse than a badly build coil that two crappy coils.

Did you read the original post at all?

I am not trying to be a jerk, but as I stated in my original post I already use drippers. I am familiar with them. I am not looking for suggestions of new drippers. I am looking for RBAs like the Russian, the kayfun, etc

The genesis style are usually set up using mesh if I am not mistaken. You can use anything you want but running a piece of cotton into the holes in the deck of a genesis would be a beeeyaatch.

I use cotton in all my genny toppers. My cotton wicks are smaller than deck hole so wicking isn't a problem. For pocket carry I use AGT, IGO-F and Aqua clone. YMMV.

Have you considered a bottom fed mod, like a REO? you use a RM2, or a bottom fed modified IGO-s (i believe its an igo-s) build your build like you would for any dripper... fill the bottle, squonk (squeeze the bottle supplying liquid to the coil, release and the excess drains down) then take a few vapes, and squonk again... take a few vapes and repeat...

all the joys of dripping without the hassle of dripping...

here check this out... it will tell you everything you need to know... read some of the testimonies Reos Mods

and here are some views of my little reo mini...

I really like an airy draw Would the russian or the kayfun allow me the most flexibility. Obviously the way the airholes are you cannot just drill them bigger like an IGO-l The Squape is one I have seen. It doesn't look to have adjustable air flow. I have heard the Taifun is a bit difficult so I would hold off for a while on that. The aqua looks interesting as well.

Ok, the concept is fantastic. I have seen the reos and I totally get why people think they are great. Maybe someday, but honestly I think they are just the ugliest things. THe have to work great because the fans are FANS. I just don't know if I could get over that appearance. I may get over it eventually. I am really more of a function before form guy.

to each their own, i actually kind of like the look, the feel is amazing... much nicer imho than a tube... id rather carry a detonator or a walkie talkie than a pipe bomb (if you wanna go with straight appearance) well that or i dont think i need to share what else the tube mods look like...

smaller than a pack of smokes too...

once i was skeptic... like a month and a half ago... then i built my rm2, took a vape and was sold... been eyeing the grand i recently bought since my first vape off the mini...

My KFL+ clone has adjustable air flow.. but even wide open its tiny.With kayfun style, I'm not sure your going to like the draw.
Even the Fogger V3 (Typhoon cloneish) wide open maybe too tight for those taht like the looser draws. The Fogger v3 was a bit of a pain at first, but I've got the build down. It is a bit more finicky than the KFL+ (IMO), but its decent when you get a good coil/wick in there (It floods like no other with the wrong amount of cotton, not really a problem I've had in KFL+)
