hmm.. in my humble opinion, yea a dripper you have to constantly "refill" juice and you've gotta deal with a burnt taste when your wick dries out..
Maybe a Cloupor Mini, something not too expensive and not too big of a power (30 Watts) it can fire up to 0.4ohms (sub-ohming)
Pair it with an Aspire Atlantis (clouds + flavour is great on this thing!), you get a dripper with a tank.. LOL

Personally I dripped almost exclusively for nearly a year before getting a bottom feeder mod, its not really that big of a deal. IMO its less of a hassle than constantly filling a tank, but it really depends on your vaping habits. as Sparkky indicated - they do have higher resistance coils for the Atlantis (iirc), so it may be worth a shot only your 20w... if your lady friend is down with that, give her your old gear and upgrade your setup 
Yes please to dripping, I just won't buy another tank (even the lemo didn't do it for me, despite it being a great tank).
That's the only easy decision. I can say I've tried a trident, magma, plume veil, tobh, tugboat and stillare, and the only one I wouldn't buy again is the tobh (the AFC tabs are a pain, and it's kind of whistley; just not worth it to me, though many like theirs).
I picked them all up on the cheap, from Fasttech. I'd urge you to try a few that have been commonly talked about here on ECF, to see what floats your boat. The RDA subforum is a great place to get ideas.
Second on dripping not being a hassle. I probably redrip every half hour to hour (at 50+ watts), which takes all of 10 seconds.

With drippers its a combination of added resistance among the entire coil setup. The resistance is determined by amount of coils, wire gauge, and length of wire. With the coils setup how you like , depending on amount of coils in the setup, you have to do the math, using Ohms Law, to determine if your power set-up can handle the load safely. With sub-ohm you can get multiple coils, to heat multiple cotton/wicks simultaneously, producing great flavor, and massive clouds. If the set-up is to weak, doesn't produce right or at all, if it's too hot it can burn your cotton at best, blow up in your face at worst. Lots of tinkering involved. Hope this helped.

They don't actually, they were supposed to have 0.7 and 1 ohm coils for it but they haven't been released. There are some some you can get on fasttech, but considering the authentics are fiberglass/ceramic paper I don't really want to know what's in those. The subtank isn't a bad idea if he isn't set on dripping, and if he got the mini would even have an RTA module. But hey, he's asking about drippers not tanks. It's an understandable excuse for him to get a dripper, like when you get your wife a bowling ball for christmas but oh no the shop made a mistake and the finger-holes are in your size, but they won't take it back...
I'll second everyone else in that dripping isn't a big deal at home (I use tanks when out) and isn't why I'd turn someone away from it. More I'm aware how frustrated many can get with getting wicking right. Everyone likes to eat, and anyone can learn the basics, but some mess up their first few recipes and are over it.
Yeah, I wouldn't buy coil heads from fasttech.
Wicking a tank isn't terribly complicated, but it adds one more variable, and it can be a PITA if you have to drain your tank to check your build/wicks... so starting with a RDA over an RTA is my general suggestion to those looking into rebuilding. Get proficient in wrapping coils, then move to RTA if you so desire.
That said, I have a few kayfun lite clones that just sit on the vape stand 99% of the time. Dripping can be a hassle if you get a leaky atomizer or something, but generally I refill the MountBakerVaper 30ml squeeze bottles for on the go, as they make less of a mess than the glass dropper style bottles.
Now I have a Reo, and use that 99% of the time, but if I go to the movies or something and need a stealth vape I grab my 4Nine in 18350 mode with a Kayfun lite v2 clone with the drop kit. It hides well in the palm of my hand and no need to pull it out and drip. only holds about 2mls of liquid, but thats plenty when stealth vaping. out side of that very rare instance, I drip/squonk. Before I got the Reo, a full kayfun lite v1 clone was what I took for long drives (I say don't drip and drive, you might spill your juice... before you get behind the wheel just stop and thing - you can take your chances, but theres so much to lose, another bumpy road - so much wasted juice XD)
I'm way too chicken to be taking a mech into a movie theater, especially a 4nine. In our climate, I don't want to be the guy holding a shorting mod that looks like a smoking pipe bomb.
HecticEnergy is spot on.
IMHO, Get a bottom feeding mod and be done with it.
Take your pick- Peko, GDna, REO, Pdib, tbev, vapage, or any of the others. There is a wide variation in prices here....
Top it with a VA cyclone, PDA, Hornet, RM2, et cetera at 1 - 1.5R.
Good to go.

BF is great, but i looked extensively at a "cheap" bottom feeder... seems like everything <$150 was sub par.

I'm safe with it... Anything can catch fire, and you are correct, a mech is more likely, but my kayfun build is around 1.4ohms, I use flat top batteries, the top cap of the mod has a delryn insulator so if the posi pin does some how get jammed up into the atty it's not likely to short. I don't use the "spacer" magnet, so there is a longer throw and it won't demagnetize and short the mod. I keep the button lubed so it doesn't get stuck on. Set up that way it's not likely to short... But anything is possible!
