Whats the crack with drippers? Are they for squonkers only?

[Two_Bears]

^^ This.

I used RDA's almost exclusively for two years because I couldn't find a "tank" that provided the flavor and air control my drippers had. My lone RTA (Kayfun Lite Plus) produced great flavor but the draw was too tight for my preferences and I had to "work" too hard to enjoy my vape.

I received a Uwell Crown 1 tank last summer, and I have to admit that it has pretty much earned most of my attention since. The flavor, vapor production, and air control is superior to any tank that I had used before. I'm sure that there must be other tanks on the market today that perform as well. I must admit that I prefer the Crown on a regulated mod only; I still prefer using a RDA with my mech.

Squonking is just dripping "upside down", as PBusardo says. Instead of carrying a separate bottle of e-liquid with you, the bottle is inside the mod. One less thing to grab when you leave out of the house. So you get the flavor of a dripper, but the convenience of a tank, all in one device.

If you like a Kayfun but need a direct Lung vape look at this Kayfun base.

$4.12 Free Shipping Replacement Base for Kayfun Monster Mini V3 RTA Atomizers (Base (Kayfun Monster Mini V3), Gold) at m.FastTech.com

It is the Kayfun Monster V3 you can do D2L no problem. I used one for about 10 months until i went back to KFL+ V2 base because i missed MTL vaping.

Will this fit an authentic Svoemesto Kayfun Lite Plus?

I use an SV rda clone exclusively (Fasttech) because it is set up for single coils and MTL and is good picking up the tiny amount of flavoring I favor. I find it more convenient than tanks because I like to rewick every couple of days. I like that I can super saturate the coil without leaking. I control leaking in my pocket with a tall slip ring. I like the price, $7, and no glass and few parts. I have no interest in tanks.

They should. Supposed to be a 1:1 clone.

They have fit every kayfun Tank and bell cap i tried it on. I don't have an authentic Kayfun.

I can't remember the last time I didn't drip, at least 3yrs. I run a regulated DNA mod with a patriot clone ( after trying many drippers this has been the easiest to build with best all around performance ) and couldn't be happier. There may be a better experience out there but I dripping is more than satisfactory for me. My set up is no more of a hassle than carrying a pack of lung darts and a lighter and just as convenient.

If you're happy with it; that is all that matters.

Personally i wouldnt be caught dead vaping an RDA.

do they have better taste than RTA's?, at the moment i have just my Squape Rs, i have sold my Kayfun Mini V3 as i just find it too airy, and the Squape is just all round perfect for me, love it, but anyway, was looking at the Snapdragon by Eden Mods, was wondering is there any real difference in drippers?

I never could get my squape-r to work.. it always leaked like crazy. It was the most anticipated and most dissapointing atomizer for me. I have since went with the goblin and griffin tanks.. much better, more airy.

As far as drippers, leaking isn't much of an issue with them. Since the person controls the amount of juice by dripping a few drops it by taking of the drip tip. Squonkers have become fairly popular, but was pretty much ruled by Reosmods for quite a few years before other companies just recently got on the bandwagon. squonkers just made the idea behind dripping drops down the drip tip much easier by simply squeezing the bottle and wetting the wicks that way without the need to take out your juice bottle to drip.

Is there a difference between drippers... definately. There's a wide variety to choose from, and many have their strengths of their own. I like the derringer, which is very compact, has a decent sized juice well, and is fairly easy to build on. It's not the biggest cloud chaser, but it can hold it's own. It has options for one or two coil setup. It's downside, is it doesn't take the bigger coils, the small chamber means the whole dripper can get fairly hot, and it doesn't have the biggest airflow or juice well. It is a flavor chaser dripper.

On the flip side, there are plenty of Velocity style drippers out there. That build deck is designed for huge coils, and plenty of room for almost any build you can think of. It's airflow comes from the bottom, and has massive airflow. most are medium sized, which allows for hotter builds without the atomizer getting too hot. It's downside is it's a cloud chasing device... which means the derringer can provide better flavor. with the airflow at the bottom, it means if you over drip, you can get some juice in the air intake..and probably out of your atomizer.
Overall, I agree that dripping has a slight edge.. only because the user can control the wick saturation. it is a much more labor intensive affair, having to drip constantly. They also have an advantage for durability... it's harder to break a dripper, and the last advantage is no leaking unless you cause it to leak. You don't have to worry about having 3 ml of juice leaking inside your coat pocket with a dripper. For me, I use RTA's %95 of the time, with the occasional dripping session. If you build RTA's, then you'll have no problem with drippers. I say go over and buy yourself a cheap dripper to test the water... I'd recommend a cheap copy to start off with just to see if you like the whole idea of dripping.

I highly suggest the griffin... I think you'll find it pushes more of your buttons than the uwell or kayfun.

I have a handful of tanks (Kayfun V3, Subtank Mini, TFV4, Griffin, Theorem) and although convenient, they never stop me from grabbing for my RDA's - although the Theorem did come close!

 

[TheTinMan]

I fully stand by everything i said above.

You COULDN'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO GO BACK TO DRIPPING.

My little Kayfun works perfectly. No leaks. The 2.5 ml tank holds enough to last me when i am out and about and NO fresh ejuice stains on my clothes because my dripper LEAKED AGAIN!

I have 1 dripper and only one to test flavors.

If you're happy with it; that is all that matters.

Personally i wouldnt be caught dead vaping an RDA.

Could you tell us how you feel about RDAs? Don't hold back.

 

[Sibben]

I have a few drippers that I use. Partly for flavor testing but also at home for quality vaping. There's something soothing with the ritual of dripping that I like. And I enjoy the fact that they're so simple in construction. I think they're more flavorful and I've always assumed it's because there's no chimney and your lips are straight on top of the coil. Flavor is a subjective matter though, tied to expectation, so I won't swear to it. But I enjoy it. To me they're complementary to tanks and not a replacement.

Why not get one for a decent price and try. If you enjoy vaping for more than the nicotine hit they have value besides convenience. If nothing else they're part of vaping history. For people who squonk, which I don't (yet) they're probably the ONLY way to vape though. [emoji4]

 

[TheTinMan]

I have a very cheap RDA, the Wotofo Ice Cubed. Really not much to it. That being said, I drip some of my nicer juices in it (bourbon dark pipe), and wouldn't think about filling my Griffin RTA with such a fine juice.

The flavor in an RDA is magnified. Like 3 to 4 times magnified.

But it still comes down to personal choice. If you haven't tried it, do so. Cost you less than $15 for a simple, easily buildable RDA. You really haven't lost much by trying one.

If an RDA is leaking in your pocket leaving stains, I suggest that you are over dripping. I drip, then vape that juice before returning to my pocket.

I hate dripping all the time.
I hate the leaking of RDAs
I hate the burned cotton
I LOVE the RTAs have as good a flavor of RDAs with none of the inconvenience of RDAs

If tge 15 RDAs i have used only TWO had better flavor.

Deadmodz V2
Darang

The Darang is an $80 dripper i canf afford.
The Deadmodz V2 had great flavor but didn't like the hot Juice that popped out the airflow burning my face.

NO thank you. You can have the drippers. I am happy as a clam with my RTAs.

If you think RDAs offer 3-4 times the flavor. I say you have never used a flavor chasing RTA such as Goblin Mini or Silverplay Nano.

Those are tge attys that made me kick drippers to the curb.

No. Vapor collects on tge dome and the Walls. This _____ing condensation runs down and out the airflow.

The only two RDAs that did not leak on me was the Rogue and Darang. Both of them have top airflow so gravity is working fof you and not against you.

The guy wanted $70 for the Darang and I was financialy embarassed. I bought the Goblin Mini and never went back to dripping. I may have a differerent opinion if i had a squonker but i don't have a squonker.

 

[Ben85]

I must be doing something wrong then as none of my RDA's leak

 

[TheTinMan]

In my opinion, RDA's do have a flavor advantage over RTA's.
You are dripping directly on the coil. This saturates the coil way more (obviously), than
if the wick only would provide juice to the coil.
A more saturated coil = a juicier hit with more flavor and vapor. Plus it is always fresh juice
that is being vaporized. In an RTA the liquid in the tank gets preheated, at 30 Watts plus quite a bit.
And there is some flowback from coil heated juice by way of the wicks. That lessens the flavor as well.

There is huge differences between RDAs as well, as others have pointed out. It can be anything from 8W
mouth to lung with NETs to 30mm 200W cloud monsters.
Snapdragon looks good. Don't have it, but it reminds me of the Magma. Which was... still is... a great restricted DL flavor RDA. Especially good, if the Snapdragon also adopts a domed top cap. A great flavor feature that is often forgotten with modern flavor RDAs.

I think this post sums up the answer to the OP

If you think RDAs offer 3-4 times the flavor. I say you have never used a flavor chasing RTA such as Goblin Mini or Silverplay Nano.

Those are tge attys that made me kick drippers to the curb.

I have a Griffin 25, considered to be one of the top 3 flavor chasing RTAs by Vaping 360. I STAND BY WHAT I SAID, THAT A $10 WOTOFO RDA GIVES ME MORE FLAVOR THAN MY RTA.

But honestly. How do you really feel about RDAs? I think you are still holding back.

In my house the only times 'drippers' (RDA's) are used is with a hollow center pin (Squonk).

The closest thing to a dripper that you need not drip is a modern day 'genney style' RDTA (Limitless RDTA+) which has the tank on the bottom and coils on top. The wick hangs in a ginormous "juice well" (IE:tank). The only drawback however is that I'd never put one of these in my pocket. (leaking)

While 'flavor' is often cited as one of the big differences I think the distance from the coils to your lips/mouth is equally or more important. Most tanks have the coils on the bottom giving the user some distance between the coil(s) and the top of the drip tip however most RDA's place the coils barely under the drip tip placing them very close to the users mouth/lips.

 

[daviedog]

I have a goblin mini v1, leaked like a sieve, till i unraveled the wicking technique.
Bought a nano silverplay,,same thing.
Bought a Darang dripper clone $10, blew both the above up.
Best dripper for me? Lancia & Nixon v2.
Best RTA for me? Dotmod Petrie. What else?.
