Don't drip, dip!

Where is the e-cigarettepedia?

NinjaPuff:
Just wanted to say thanks for sharing your idea, it truly does work great. I have enough juice for all day and I get two flavors.

I'm dipping my EVO right now! Thanks for a good idea.

I've had my Pilot for about 2 weeks now, and love it. I'm now using cartridges only when I'm out & about, and have been dripping on the atomizer when at home. Dripping works pretty well, but can get messy if I'm not careful, and it's near impossible if I don't have good light like when I'm watching a movie.

Last night it dawned on me that the only reason people started dripping was because the older models have a recessed atomizer. With the 401, the atomizer bridge sticks out, which makes it really easy to dip it in eliquid. I put maybe 10 drops in a shot glass, and just dip the atomizer into it. It gets the perfect amount of juice on it every time, and there's absolutely no mess.

I think a perfect solution for dipping while on the go may be a contact lens case. You can get them for maybe a dollar at about any convenience store, they should hold about the right amount of liquid for dipping, and they are designed to hold liquid without leaking.

I am still a noob here and HAD to bump this! This was great advice as i have been preferring lately to just drip and forgo the inner part of the cart on my m401. I found a perfect little container with an airtight lid and now I am just letting the atomizer wick suck up what it needs. I am getting much better vaper this way and the draw is much easier than using a polyfill cart. So far, I have gotten a good 15 strong puffs with consistant vaper(and still going). Once the vaper becomes non-existant, I will dip again. Dripping was a hassle and i was afraid to put more then two drops on it... this way, dipping the tip of the wick into the juice, it takes all it needs and is a hassle free way to go! Contact lens cases for on the go are a great idea! The screw top ones would be perfect and you could have a diff flavor in each side, and then having an atomizer with outer cart for each flavor!

I LOVE love love this forum! I really like my m401 and just dipping has really brought it to life! I was a pack a day smoker and am down to about 3-4 analogs a day in the week or so I have had the m401 and another overpriced unit that has an outer wick as well so will work with the dipping too. other than cleaning maintanance and making sure not to flood the atomizer(which with dipping on tip of wick I don't see that happening), this new way of smoking has become hassle free and i may be able to be analog free any day now

After dipping, do you put your outer and inner cart back on the atty or just the outer cart? Forgive my ignorance, I'm a newbie.

I'm a noob as well, but I just put the outer cart(mouthpiece) back on. I have yet to get any juice in my mouth from dipping.. I even widened the hole on the mouthpiece(the part we suck on) and get an even better drag. With dripping as apposed to carts, the drag is real smooth and also you can taste the liquid much better. So far so good. I just re-dip if when the vapor becomes scant so as not to let the metal wick dry out.

Most excellent idea! I dip my m402 in med. strength marlboro nic juice cut with 30% glycerin. Carry the solution in a $1 contact lens case from Wallyworld. Dip once, good for 15-20 pulls with great vape.
My 100 ml nic juice purchase is going to last a looooong time this way. Thanks for sharing your great idea, NinjaPuff.

I bought two cases on ebay today. This is just such a great idea and low cost solution. Thanks for sharing!

Noob here, love the dip. I got a couple pill containers that work great for on the go. These are the stainless or titanium type made for nitroglycerine pills. The great thing is that they are waterproof, crush proof etc. They even make some that have two compartments so you can pack different juice. I got a real nice two compartment job since all that "not spent on analog cash" was burning a hole in my pocket and it holds about 5 ml. Wrack Works makes some really nice ones out of medical grade stainless including a two compartment model called the paramedic, but you can find these pill fobs/containers from a number of places. If you want something non-plastic that will not ever leak try it out. Also Sunshine product USA is awesome, father/daughter small business that machines really cool little waterproof containers, Frank the owner will even make you something custom (I got mine from him). Cheers, happy dipping.

Can you direct me to a place to find these particular pill containers? I did find some possibilities here: waterproof pill containers at Amazon. They look pretty promising but with the drawback of limited vision when dipping into them and i only like to touch the tip of atty wick to the fluid and let it suck up only what it needs(get 15-20 good puffs) it looks like what you are describing... maybe a glass vial so I can see inside. hmmm... The contact lens case I am using works OK, but I would rather have something not plastic and more secure so as not to waste one single drop!

Just found this beauty!
"It has two zippered compartments, one for your contact lenses with plastic case, plastic tweezers, two solution bottles and a mirror. The other for your eyeglasses which has a always handy cleaning cloth. Practical & lightweight. There is more! You will get a FREE SQUEEZE WALLET!

Found this on Amazon:
Leather Contact Lens Holder Eyeglass Case Eye


The eyeglass compartment is separate from the "fluid" compartment.. so the hardware could go in there protecting it from any leaks! I think this could make a fine carrying case for those who prefer to dip. I will add it to my wish list and maybe next month...

Looks like you can get them on ebay as well by searching "Leather Contact Lens Holder Eyeglass Case Eye "
