Not sure how old it is but I like the Wismec Amor tank. It's really hard to find, but I saw it on here first and managed to google search and find a couple at totallywicked. It is a shorter fatter 2.5 mil ego one style, but a frosted tank. My big problem with the ego one is that I can't see the juice level with my baby boomer eyes.

If old school is what we're talking, I still use an igo-L dripper. Single coil, but deep juice well and just easy to use.

For me it's the Prometey or Achilles from Art of Exhale or Titanium Mods from the Ukraine (Their Achilles is called the Leprechaun)

Achilles. There *are* a few of us who like them, there's a thread for them, but you really have to love a very tight draw, to love these things. Nobody is making them anymore, neither authentics nor clones, which is a damn shame for those who love a tight draw. Titanium-mods.com has come out with an "Achilles 2" version which offers a bit more airflow adjustment at the "open" end, but until there are clones of those available, I won't know if the new ones will still suit a tight-draw tootle puffer down at the tighter end.

The Leprechaun can be closed down tight. The biggest problem is the sound it makes. Since I am a fan of the tight draw and single coil, it's something I can live with.

I have two, both clones, and they're each quite different in their tightness of draw; one of them, I removed the whistle-screw entirely, and that's the one I use most often. The other, for some unknown reason, has a looser draw, so I left the screw in place... whistling. :D

ETA: looks like the Leprechaun is by Art of Exhale... the Achilles and Prometey are by titanium-mods.com -- I'm hoping soon the Achilles 2 will be cloned by Yeahsmo so I can try it out.

Hmm.

My Stillare still puts a smile on my face when it chucks. One of the simplest designs and years old it still keeps up with all my other new tech RDA`s.
Stillaire seems to be a classic when it comes to the overall three piece dripper designs.. They kept things nice and simple, which is what I like.

Ahh, I have an Aga T2 which I have STILL yet to get a SS mesh wicking correctly on it. I've pretty much given up trying stainless steel afte going through about 20 SS meshes.. it always shorted, no matter what I've tried... and yes.. before you suggest anything.. I've tried it. :) Even tried making a ceramic wick for it, and that kept breaking.. over and over... so... it's collecting dust.

The AGAT2 was my main atomizer for a few months in my early vaping journey... However, I used a funky form of a Silica U-wick.

Correct! It is by AoE!

You don't mind the more open draw with the screw out?

No, it's still pretty tight -- but then, before I got it, I used a KFL+ about halfway open, and a Magma on the smallest single hole setting -- both a good deal airier than the Achilles even with the screw out. When I got the Achilles I was all "THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout!" :D I had to IMMEDIATELY drop from 10mg to 9mg, and from 10w to 9w. Down to 5mg now, but still mostly stay around 9w with the Achilles... sometimes 8.5w.

It's just weird to me how 2 clones of the same atty, both made by Yeahsmo (I guess!), are so different in their draw.

Dovpo harvest tank... 17$ and a far better version of the subtank... top fill, better air flow, AFC drip tip comes with a .5 ohm vertical coil and a nickel temp coil... and an RBA deck... 17$
now that's one I haven't heard of before.... looked it up. it's pretty clean looking.

OK everyone git reddy ta roll yer eyes.

My diamond in the rough is my Evod tank. With very slight airflow modifications and cotton wick it gives me MY perfect vape and doesn't leak a drop. Outperforms my GS Air, Aspire bvc and Squape Clone.

I have tried a T3XL for larger juice capacity but despite the fact that it uses the exact same base and atty it will start to leak at about half empty. Must have to do with the 5ml capacity versus vacuum ratio or sumthin. Gonna try a standard T3 and see how that goes. If I can't get sumthin with more juice capacity to work then I'll just fill 3 or 4 Evods every morning, no prob.
