Am I mistaken?

510 accessories (attys, cartos, etc) are compatible with ego batteries -- they connect to the inside (female) threads at the top of the battery rather that to the outside (male) threads below. So the outside threads are left exposed -- not as aesthetically pleasing, but functional.

oohh, makes a lot of sense.
so is an ego battery different than an ego-c battery in the fact that it has the male threads?

My only experience is with the eGo-C, but I'm pretty sure all eGo batteries are interchangeable between the various models. It's the other pieces (atomizer, cone, etc) that are different.

Ego batteries are the same.. the threads are called 510. ego-A, ego-B and ego-c denotes the feeding systems.
If you want to explore dripping I would suggest that you get a 510 bridgeless atomizer and a eGo Drip Shield Cone. Dripping has a learning curve, with that said you will have to experiment a lot. I am no expert in dripping but have been dripping since March.

That's why most places sell a nice small cone that screws over the outer threads of an ego style battery. Cleans it up nicely. They also make a basic cylinder style cover also that works well with the DC style tanks.

Another question. I keep reading that it's important to keep attys wet. Dumb as this may sound, I'm not sure what "wet" means. Wet with e-liquid, I assume, but does that mean I need to drip juice on them periodically, even if I'm not using them? If so, how much and how often?

No, keeping them wet (with e-liquid) just applies while you're actively using them. You want to avoid letting the liquid run dry as you'll get a nasty burnt taste, and in extreme cases it could break the atomizer if it gets too hot. It's a fine balancing act to learn how much liquid to apply (and it varies depending on your atomizer), it comes with practice. In the mean time, keep some paper towels handy

So the drip shield cone functions as a drip shield (duh) AND covers the threads? Cool, thanks for the tip!

Why do you recommend a bridgeless atomizer? I've seen discussion and how-to videos on removing the bridge from regular attys, so I know it's a popular concept, but I've yet to fathom what the advantage is.

Depends on the type of atty. The good ole 510 atty has a wick under the bridge, and once it gets burned, it will always give off a burned taste. The bridge itself is a metal mesh, and it will wash off just fine. Some of the newer atties don't have that wick under the bridge, and they work just fine as they are.

It is also easier to clean & dry burn a de-bridged atty. (easier to see the coil)
