Quasar and Origin V2 for modern style and performance. Gryphon 'cause it's a Gryphon:), and the most under rated, old school, nothing beats the flavor... Fatty Atty. AF is acceptable, no well (except for small dish), leaks out the air holes, single coil only... but I love 'em for the small chamber and due to build/design it doesn't over heat.

I've tried many...my LEAST favorite was the Trident V2. Hated building on it and it always seemed to have juice coming out of it somewhere. Love the IGO-W and the Nimbus....but my favorite by a mile is the Stillare. To me, its perfect. Looks great, gold plating that doesn't wear off, huge holes in the posts and slots for airflow. Infinite makes an excellent clone. I have an infinite and an authentic...the infinite is everything the real one is.

I was loath to take a drill to the AFC ring on the 3D dripper, 'casue it's genuine. But Atmomixani released an updated AFC ring with larger 2x2mm airflow. Looking at the top cap, the dual airholes are 2mm anyway, so it was curious that they released the 3D with smaller dual airholes in the AFC ring. Anyway I ordered the update and tried it out today. Boy, it's airy. It's just on the border of almost having to lung inhale, but not quite. It fairly chucks clouds.

I have verticals in there atm, 1.4mm ID using .3 kanthal, working out to .5 ohms overall, and I'm vaping Tjuice's Red Astaire 8mg/ml which is 80/20 PG/VG which is a ridiculously high PG content for me, and it still chucks clouds. More love needed for the 3D :)

Dayum dude, that 3d looks sick on your nemmy! love those mixed mods, especially with a matched atty. Does the 3D have post holes in it? i got a clone with no post holes:( I just dont have the hands or patience to get a build to work in it :mad:

Teeeny.. Similar to the Igo, but flared. Flavor is out of this world!

Forgot to mention the MASSIVE adjustable airflow!

thats awesome to hear. I love the looks and flavor is my #1 priority. man my wallet is REALLY hating this thread, patriot, helios, magma, tobh, and stillare all coming from ft. now I may have to start watching ebay for a valkyrie

Haha! I hear you man.. Im in the same boat! Honestly though, I never would have imagined the Valkyrie to be as good as it is.. I know that's the last thing you probably want to hear ($$ lol), but the thing hits like a freight train.. And if flavor is your thing, I think you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.. Keep me updated! Cant wait to hear your thoughts on the TOBH.

Thanks dude! I had an all SS nemmy until I absent-mindedly dropped a brass muffler driptip into my basket from Fasttech. When I got it on the TOBH, I thought "Oh man I didn't know I liked brass". So the brass fittings came today from Atmom. The 3D does not have post holes, but it does have neat little washers and flat topped spacers to trap the wires between, and it makes coiling it quite easy. There is still the pain in the behind fact that there is only one positive post, so you have to leave your first coil loosely wrapped round the positive while you connect the second coil before you can tighten it down. That's tje only downside of not having post-holes. Those RDA's having 2 posts built into the positive block must be luxury.

So far I have tried about 15 rebuildable drippers and in short this is what I think of them

Best Flavor:
Igo-w/w4 hands down

Best Value:
Gaia/Igo-W its a tie in my mind,
$12 = Igo is nice quality, flavorful and simple
$13 = Gaia has nice afc, build deck space, and looks great on any 22mm mod

Best Sub-Ohm Cloud Machine:
.4ohm > build = Igo-M/ Igo-W with fogger cap
.4ohm < build = Origen v2/ Stillare/ Caterpillar

My least favorite is the omega

I am still waiting on helios, magma, and tohb
Once I get them in I am going to write a big review with more detail on each rda, will probably just start a new thread for the big review.

anyways heres a pic of my army of drippers lol

I have grown quite fond Of my Stillare clone, great vapor production out of it with a nice open draw and pretty good flavor when I close them up a bit since the top cap is domed. I have a authentic nimbus and nimbus clone that is use daily as well and have a patriot clone and Helios clone that mainly sit and collect dust.
