I'd like a RDA but a buget one. I'm on a pretty strict buget atm. I own a Kayfun and rebuild my own coils, ohm meter, Smoktech SID. So I know rebuilding, spent so much time diong different coils on what I have, different wicking ways all of that.

Anyhow, can anyone point me to a budget dripper a RDA so I can rebuild it, I love rebuilding. I know there are clones of clones and all of that. I watch RIP Trippers all the time, which his market is for high end drippers and mech mods and regulated devices for VW. But his videos educated me ALOT over the last year or so. I just got into the Kayfun and my SID. I was rebuilding my coils on Kanger Protank 2 since I got it. Any recommendations for a budget RDA prefer 22mm to fit the SID like a Kayfun which I know most of them are. Anyhow any recommendations for a budget one would be appreciated. Thanks!

Awesome thanks! Do you know if these all fit 510 drip tips? I'm sure they do since it is basically a standard on 99% of devies. I just ordered a wide boar drip tip, I'd like to throw on a dripper. I think for sure its a clone of it, I mean the actual one is 30 bucks and I dropped like 6 or so. But I wanted the double rings for the tight fit.

Yeah, that tip will fit!

Going to be werid putting the ohmz higher, since most do sub on these, the sid cant go belower than 1.2 - 1.3. I'm a single coil guy I wonder how it'd work. Alot are saying its a cooler vape. So I'm worried if I do higher ohmz and single coil it'd be to a cool vape hmmm.

wrapping wires around the screw ( like the Omega) is a PITA, at least to me. i prefer the ease of build of the Brass Monkee . i have not used the clone but i suppose it would work as well the original. you will definitely want an adjustable airflow until you determine what works for you. most RDA's with holes have to be drilled out for proper airflow. its easy to drill it bigger but its very difficult to make smaller. good luck.

I think I'm going to try the Stilare clone by inifinite, I'm just worried ppl saying a cooler vape and its built for duel coil even though you CAN do a single coil. I'm a single coil guy, that also I have to bump up the ohmz around 1.3 or so for my SID to fire it, that if I did a single coil it'd be even cooler and with higher ohmz. I might just have to deal with doing a duel coil build, higher ohmz 1.3 or so close off the air alot to get a warmer vape, and max out the SID to 15w.

I'm also on a pretty tight budget so I turned my sights to ebay for a dripper... I got a nimbus clone for $9.99 with free shipping, it was shipped pretty fast, ordered the 15th and got it the 19th.

I don't know what you're really looking for in a dripper but for the price it worked pretty good right out of the mail.

ATOMIZER-NIMBUS-CLONE-NEW-FREE-SHIPPING

The seller has a low rating so I took a chance, glad I did , turned out to be well worth it for me to get into dripping at a low price.

Also, on that nimbus I linked, it came with a pre built dual coil , my ohm meter showed it as 0.6 so I just took one of the coils out to get 1.2 , also came with extra coil/wick set ups and all of them are 1.2 - 1.6 when used as single coils. I'm using an MVP and it wont fire lower than around 0.9 so I'm in the same boat having to use 1.0 and higher coils, wicked properly, it's anything but a cool vape.

Somebody mentioned air... it does NOT have adjustable airflow, the holes in it work for me but that doesn't mean they'll work for everyone
