Where the heck do I start??

[12gViolet]

Ok, so I've been puffing along pretty happily on Kanger T3S's for a long while now. It works. It delivers the happy happy nicotine into my system so I don't fly into a murderous rampage every time someone does something stupid in my general vicinity. This is good. I've considered upping my game before, getting into mods, etc. but things (read: finances) always stopped me short. This will not be an issue very soon. So I'm doing my research, happy me, looking at all the shiny options. But I keep running across the idea online and from friends that dripping is better. I have to admit, in person, trying out my friends set ups on some boss ... mods complete with DIY drippers... it was good. But then I ask, how do you do that? How do you make it go? And they start talking and I get lost. I need beginners guides. 101 classes. "Building Atomizers For Complete Dumbasses" if such a thing exists. So hit me up with some links, YouTube, threads, diagrams, anything.

Also, suggestions for some class A products for when I'm ready to put my big girl panties on and join the party. I like silver and brass. And steampunk. I am not a delicate or discrete person. I like being smacked in the face by flavor and throat hit. Bring on the suggestions.

Ok.. I'll start

Welcome to the cloudy side!

A decent dripper for starters that works well either single or double coil, has adjustable airflow and is inexpensive (as well as brass+stainless) and is an original not a clone is the Smoktech Caterpillar.

You can snag them for under $10 on fleabay.

I would personally recommend the IGO-L. It's still one of y favourite RDA's and my first one. It's a single coil RDA and a joy to build on. Grimmgreen on youtube has a wonderful video series called "taking the next vaping step" I would highly recommend it

The igo-l was my favorite single coil dripper until I picked up a Smok Dripper RDA which gives me more flavor IMO. Easy to build considering the small deck and it's the right size for an Ego style battery.

I learned how to build coils by watching Rip Trippers on youtube. He is definitely one of the most influential figures in the vape scene right now IMO. I always get a laugh from his videos as well, which is always a plus.

His video about the chimney coil on the kayfun is about as basic as it gets, and can transfer over to RDA. He just teaches how to make a simple micro coil. If you make the leads facing the same way, then it can be installed in an RDA.
