There are tank RDAs out there like the Big Ben from Art of the Exhale. A tank is positioned above the RDA. The tank is basically a carto tank with an empty carto in the middle for an air tube and a small hole in the bottom with a piece of rolled up mesh inside. The rolled up mesh from the tank touches the wick on the RDA and feeds it that way. Pretty much automatic dripping with no need to worry about atmospheric pressure changes causing leaking or flooding like other designs out there(Kayfun, Taifun GT). Simple and genius. The Big Ben also has another cover so it can be used as a straight dripper as well. I want to see more thing with that design.

Forgive my ignorance but my curiosity has been peaked. I have a long barrel hh357...can you use that in a tank? Sorry I just really got into dripping so I still have a lot to learn but I'm loving it so far.

yep yep you can use it in a tank, it is a rather expensive tank tho, since you have the hh357 then you are already familiar with avid, so AMP tank is from the same people over at avidvapor, it is designed to be used with atomizers.

There is the AMP tank basic and a AMP tank complete kit, here ya go:
AMP Tank - Avid Vaper
The Amp Tank ECig

I know it's been said in this thread a few times already, but for anyone who likes to drip, a Reo is a MUST!! Just got mine a couple days ago and I havent used anything else since. It uses standard atties or bf rda's. I'm rockin' mine with my A7 at .7Ω and it's amazing! The price is a little steep compared to what's coming out of China these days, but totally worth it! The thing is built like a Sherman tank, and it's one of the only bottom feeders that can handle SLR vaping, and does it very well! It's everything good about dripping, but with the capacity of a large tank rba, and smaller than ANY 18650 tube mod.

BTW, did I mention how much I LOVE my new Reo Grande?!:D

The VV Grand uses the Notcigs chip set, and requires two 18350 batteries. The Mini 2.1 uses the 18490/500 battery.

Thanks for the reply!
I really like the idea of getting a rio but I'm torn between the standard and vv. I can't go back to tanks or clearo's, and I'll use the occasional carto - but I must drip somehow with capacity ... without sacrifice. I love the idea of vv, but I guess I could just get different resistance attys. I just want to puff n stuff without hassle

The vv Grande is awesome, but I prefer the stability and dependability of a mech, so I went with the standard Grande. I actually had quite the epiphany today related to this quandry. I always carry a small battery case with 1 extra 18650 and an extra A7 atty. My .7Ω coil I referred to in my other post is a new experience to me. I just built it and it's the lowest I've ever gone. It's great on my batt now, metered at 3.8v. On a fresh 4.2v batt though it would probly be too much. Why not set up my spare atty at 1Ω, and then switch atties when it gets down to 3.8 ish volts! I'll be doing this tomorrow.

You'll have to post after you've tried yours for awhile. I have looked at that product many times, but can't get my head around how it works.

just got it today, been playing with it a abit. it's pretty much what it seems it would be, allows you to keep feeding a dripper pretty easily. it is pretty awkward to hold, though. I'm still pondering the idea of a bottom feeder.

so how does that work? do you push a pump and it drips from the tank?

There's a 6ml bottle (or 3ml on the reo mini) inside the mod with a hole cutout in the door to access it.
Just squeeze the bottle while you take a pull on the drip tip. You'll feel a gurgling of the juice being fed up a tube in the bottle into the atty and voila, you're ready to vape!

So, with a rebuildable on the REO, I just press/squeeze the bottle for a couple seconds. The atty doesn't need to be near my face, and I don't have to draw on it. You just give it a mindless squonk after every 3-10 vapes.

Ha, just popped the cap off my A7 to see if it flowed without me pulling on the atty and sure enough, you're right! I just needed to prolong my squonk! About 2-3 seconds and it flows right up!

I just want to chime in that I love my Reo. It's a few weeks old, and it's about the only thing I bring out of the apartment. I bought it afer I converted entirely to dripping RBAs at home.

I'm going to keep the prettiest one in case I get a Diver at some point, but my carto tanks and what not are going out for sale. The proceeds are going to finance another Reo.
