Tobeco Velocity V2 for about $15 on vapenw.com or ecig.com. Mad Hatter V2 for $10 on sale at 101vape.com.
Both solid and easy to use. I don't have any advice for pre-made coils. It's not hard to make your own simple coils though.

+1 on the Velocity.
If you don't want to build coils you can order them online or pay a B&M to make you some.

I should add the Mad Hatter V2 has a velocity deck, mutation airflow and a flip top. Much better than the V1. Plus the squonk pin from the Tobeco Velocity V2 fits it!

More info would be helpful
Loose draw v airy draw
Clone v authentic
Dual coil v single coil
Velocity v 3 post v dual hole positive block
Buy some premade coils while you learn to build your own.
I like the alliance v1 at Nicoticket 70% off makes it a great deal, $16 and some change shipped. But dual coil only. I also like the Sapor v2. Single coil stuff some one else will need to weigh in.

B&Ms in the states can no longer legally build coils.for customers without being licensed as a Tobacco manufacturer.

^^^ What he said
If you want to drip on a dripper, you need to learn how to build. It's not rocket science and actually pretty easy, wrapping wire around a screw driver isn't that hard.
Watch some YouTubes on building, get a basic coil building starter get and with a little bit of practice you'll be good.
my b&m sells mad rabbit pre-made coils now, or there are plenty of places online to buy them. fasttech sells all sorts of pre-built coils as do places in the states (advancedvapesupply and maybe lightningvapes).
I like my goon clones (not sure if they would overhang on your mod) that I got from my b&m for about $25 (can be had from fasttech for under $10) and they can be used in single or dual coil mode. I prefer dual coil but it gives a decent vape in single coil mode as well, you just can't drip as much liquid with half the cotton/rayon in the deck.
edit: quad flex power pack ($30) is a good 22mm rda but to use the rdta portion of the pack you would also need a nautilus x tank, or else buy the whole survival kit for about $50 to get the glass and other naut x parts. This is my new flavor testing rda.
Since registration as a manufactuerer is not yet required & lack of enforcement of current federal regulation is obvious, many shops have chosen to move forward buisness as usually. My favorite local B&M chose to toe the line and is losing customers to another local shop playing it loose. It's almost as if they are letting less scrupulous shops gain a larger foothold in the market; once they wipe out the honest players, the state will come in and destroy the violators.

I had absolutely no desire to learn how to install & wick pre-made coils, nor how to build my own until about 2 months or so ago. Had ordered 200+ pre-made ones in 1.5 ohms and 1.8 ohms for my "stash", from Vapes.com when they had them on sale. But I didn't want to even try them yet when I got them. Had also ordered several rolls of Kanthal wire in 28ga and 30ga for my stash, as well as a Kuro type coiler.
Then...I decided I wanted to start using 1 of the Kayfun Lite+ V2 that I'd bought. Wanted to make a "shorty" one out of it and see how I liked it. Had to use the pre-made coils at least, in order to use it. That then led to making my own, too. I don't make anything fancy, but they definitely work!
If stubborn me can learn how to make them, at my 60+ year old age...you can do it, too. Start with some pre-made ones and learn how to wick and install them. Then try building them totally yourself. You CAN do it!
My B&M has the Geekvape kits that come with coils and cotton tucked into a battery box. Nice.
+1 for the QuadFlex. I have the survival kit and really like it as an RDTA.

When I started vaping there were a few things I was certain about. I would NEVER rebuild and never mix my own liquid. After 9 monts I turned out to be a liar on both counts. I thought both were harder than they turned out to be and there are a bunch of benefits I didn't discover until after I started doing them. Since the i see you can get pre made coils on Fasttech for about 10 cents each. That's a way to get started and build confidence. The way to get started mixing is dilute a premix you already know you like, 50/50 will work, 25/75 will work too. If you vape mouth to lung chances are your commercial e liquid has too much flavoring. Direct lung inhalers need a lot more flavoring or they won't taste anything. I do MTL and 1% flavoring is fine.I had absolutely no desire to learn how to install & wick pre-made coils, nor how to build my own until about 2 months or so ago.

When I got my first rda I thought it would only be for testing DIY liquid but the moment I started using it I lost interest in tanks. I started with a Tugboat rda clone, tried a few more and now the SV rda clone is the only atomizer i use, partly because it is good at low flavoring percents.
Awesome deal!! Thanks for the heads up. A new gunmetal alliance v1 and a 30mL bottle of mercury (berry, lemon yogurt) is on the way
heading my way. Never tried nicoticket juice so I'm pumped! Even more so for the wonderful price of $16 shipped!
For the kbox mini you'll want to stick to 22mm so you have no overhang. Your best bet is to start cheap, either great deals or clones. IMO, You'll probably want to start with a two post setup since it seems to be easier to mount coils (velocity style posts). A four post rda (or 4 post hole) is the second easiest for me. A three post becomes easier with experience but is also a good learning experience and where I started.
A big thing you'll want to pay close attention to, the positive pin length. An rda with an extended positive pin will push the 510 pin on the KBmini down into the rubbery looking insulator and you'll have to tinker with it to get it back up. I am still experiencing this every so often and it looks like the insulator is wearing out.
Yep but the non-employees will. Easy solution have an employee clock out to build a coil for a customer. Which is exactly what a lot of shops (here anyways) do, FDA comes in the owner/manager says that employee is on lunch break and there's no law dictating what an employee does while on break.
