You/ Everyone should really try the Helios it has 4 posts makes it a breeze to build the posts are high off the deck makes it easy to wick and
keeps the coils up high for no flooding the deck hold plenty of juice the air flow control is good and it Vapes Awesome I like every thing about it :)

Yeah....playing with getting that or a Brass Monkey. I also like the idea of the Magma....

For flavor I'd have to say the Omega - weird since the chamber's so big - but the air holes are, indeed, a massive PIA. This is too bad, since it's also my favorite in terms of looks; the stupid thing looks classy on pretty much anything.

After that, I think I'd pick the humble Igo-L (such a little work horse!) and the Igo-W, even though every single version is as ugly as homemade sin. I also like the dinky little A7, which is no fun to build, but really produces great flavor. Then the Nimbus, which I think is fine but overpriced for what it is, and finally the (blech) Trident, which I really don't like at all.

I haven't bought a new dripper in a while, because I keep getting the feeling that all the new ones are designed to create monster clouds rather than deliver on taste. I certainly don't need super-octo-nano-uber-coils, nor do I need air holes big enough to drive a semi through, so . . . eh. I guess I'm just boringly Old School.

Huum a favorite huh? I've used a lot of them and they all have pros and cons. The Trident V2 was a favorite until I got the Enigma.

ENIGMA RDA

She looks good on almost any mech and fits the 'vela perfect. Hit's like a beast and the flavor is awesome. Drill to taste or stock holes.

    Hiya Dale sweetie! :wub:
    I like anything I can build without too much hassle, ( would be lost without my jewelers visor lol ) I like to drill my own holes because most stock ones just don't cut it for air flow.

    Hiya' back sweetie pie :wub:

    I guess my fav is actually considered an atomizer :unsure:
    But it's all the flavor of a dripper with the convenance of a small tank so hey ;)

    Yeppa -- I haven't used the VE I've been sold on RDA's since I couldn't get the flavor I wanted from the Kayfuns. Meh some ppl love those though. Whatever works right? ;)

    Yep -- Brass Monkey has an awesome design. I'm planning on one of those myself.

    I dont have the Helios but I agree with these and the order. Damn, that Trident is a pain to build on but great flavor is a definite on it. I choose the Atomic with the small deck caveat already mentioned.

    Almost everyone seems to think that but me! What am I not getting that's a pain the slots, post caps? lol
    They fit the 'vela pretty good too!

    I liked my patriot with 3/32 holes the most till I picked up a stillare. I have a castle on the way to compare as well. I just love the big cyclops air flow on the stillare.

    I tried my friends quasar and that was nice as well but the build deck was a little tiny for me. It also wasnt airy enough for me but im used to the monster stillare holes.

    kind of a sorry pic, but here's my dirty boys lineup... use all of them all the time.
    All sub ohms, and awesome flavor and vapor.
    Left to right:Origen V1, Prometey2 Ti, BigBen Ti drip mode tank, Gryphon Ti, Fakirs TroyX (all under-coil air draw except the Origen).



    The Gryphon and TroyX are on real NB Nemes, the others are 2 brass and 1 copper Neme clones, which rip as hard as the reals.
    (I could afford 6 or 7 brass Neme clones for the price of each dripper)
    Time to polish them up and clean the threads, except for the new clone on the left, but all i have to do is open a new ($17 shipped) clone if I don't want to. :)

    Like Nemmys much? lol
    You're like me and my 'Velas .. (can't use button tops but I use flats anyway) What I like better about the 'Vela is the reverse locking ring. The Nemmys always was a pain for some reason. Hard hitters both!
