Entry Level / Beginner Dripper

[mikedidthis]

As I am getting into mixing, Uncle Tony has suggested I get a dripper.

I have zero idea where to start, all I know is I want something simple and ideally use premade ni / ti / ss coils.

Any advice on a beginner / entry / idiot proof dripper?

I'm not an expert of drippers, but there are plenty of good clones around which will cost you less than a tenner. If you are happy to wait for delivery from the likes of Fasttech, then the prices drop even further.
Some ideas for you to consider; these can all be single- or double-coiled depending on your wishes and experience:
Velocity
Plume Veil
Buddha - this one is a larger diameter, but gives loads more room to work on the deck when building your coils.

Hope this helps, I'm sure more experienced drippers than I will chip in soon too!

chykensa I've been looking at this one as a first dripper for me - do you think this would be any good?

Petri

They've got it in a lovely girly pink colour too

Others i would recommend are Twisted Messes

Al the above are really versatile drippers you can set them for flavour or for clouds,single or dual coil,fully adjustable airflow.

Both of those are dual coil only but they are really good flavour atties with a nice amount of airflow.


Ready made nickel coils

Ready made kanthal coils

They don't seem to do titanium or SS in ready made coils.

Remember when doing dual coil builds take the resistance of a single coil and half it, that will be your final resistance for a dual coil build, keep that in mind when you order.

Coil jig easy to use to make your own coils if you just wanna order spools of wire.

See the post below yours from Get Off My Cloud for more ideas, toots - the posts on that Petri might be a bit fiddley for a first build, my only reservation. There are just so many around for less that £10 that you are spoilt for choice really!

I have a couple of Petri clones the holes are pretty small, you can just about squeeze some .5mm wire through them, there's also no airflow adjustment either, they are nice drippers though.

My favourite at the moment is the Velocity - the posts are on each side of the deck, and the screws are easily accessible with both coils in place. By far the easiest to build on IMHO.

[aaront903]

I would follow droogs advice as he probs has every dripper going lol

[toots]

I was trying to find a suitable one with just 2 posts - I wouldn't know what to do with 4 posts

I currently build my kanger subtanks & lemo drops, and they (as you all know) only have 2 posts, so I know how to build with 2 posts, 4 posts would just confuse the hell out of me

Stumpy RDA is a nice little 2 post atty and has a single coil option on the airflow, the velocity is really designed for dual coil only.

The vortice clone is a nice little 2 post dripper with a single coil option

Thank you for all the replies, fast tech will be getting a visit.

On a side note, cotton recommendations? Next I will be asking some one to build it for me!

[drunkenbum]

Muji cotton is good. I've taken to using cotton bacon recently though, I feel it wicks better and gives better flavour

I just use Muji pads i honestly can't tell any difference in taste to all the fancy shmancy made for vapers brands,before that i was just using supermarket cotton balls, just make sure they're the untreated/unbleached kind.
The only reason i use the pads now really is it's easier to judge the right amount to cut off.
