It really is a lot easier. I was filling carts about as often as I drip anyway so no more taking cart off, dripping into it, then replacing it. Just drip directly onto the atty. Drip, drip, drip and you're done. Don't have to replace filler or buy cart's either. I like the deldrin ones myself mostly because they're thinner and lighter.

Laddsy, you must be talking about cartomizers. Cart's (cartridges) only hold about 12 drops when new from dry or 4-6 on a refill. I would have to top them off after about 10-15 hits. Carto's (cartomizers) hold a lot more juice, enough for about 2 hours of moderate vaping for me. Cart's are used on an atomizer, carto's have a built in atomizer.

well first of all....you must not vape alot, because even a full mega cartridge wont last me more than a few minutes until i have to start topping off. so regardless of what "system" i was using, i was constantly pulling the cart off and topping off, and i mean every few minutes. ok, so i am still doing that with the delrin drip tip except i am not having to take anything off! just add a few drops with syringe or bottle and vape away and repeat!

I dont understand how it could be easier than filling carts. A full cart will last most of the day. I would assume a few drops would only last 10 puffs or so. Am I missing something here???

I think they sell pills for that

dripping is definitely the way to go! Did you notice better flavor too?

MUCH better taste!!! And more vapor. I have only 2 delrin tips at the moment, but my next order will include more. Been drippin' for about a week or so. I still fill up carts for when I'm going out for more than a few. But I really like the taste & vapor of dripping best.

how many drops am i supposed to put in the drip tip? i have been doing about 6..any more, and it seems to flood atty.
how does it work? i always thought dripping would cause the juice just back up in to your mouth, but it doesnt. wierd.
wish they created ejuice bottles with very narrow tip droppers...carrying a syringe around aint convenient.

Texas, u should drip 2-4 drops on average. I do 3 then vape. When i either get little or no vapor or that first burnt taste, I drip 3 more. On my PT, I do 2 at a time. In the morning after having blown the Atty of juice the night before, I'll drip 4-5 to get it started.
Hope that helps.

I been vaping on the same XL cartomizer I filled last night before bed all day. Moderately... and just ran out.. I just followed this video to figure out the right way to fill it and this thing is the bomb.. They were listed as XL ego cartomizers on liberty flight. It makes the ego look like a cigar with a tip.. Held right at 1.8ml...

I ordered my drip tip and LR atty today with some juice from madvapes just so I could try the drip too.. I work from home and sit at the desk 3/4 of the day so dripping may be the way to go there and the XL carto for road trips.. ;)


***DISCLAIMER : I am still new to all this so I could be wrong or doing something wrong ***

I have 2 different ones. The 1st is a little longer than an inch, has a curvy body, tapered end and a small hole-From Madvapes.The 2nd one is about 3/4", tapered a little, a ringed tip and a large hole-GoodProphets.
The 1st is harder to fill with a bottle drip and the 2nd is easy, but I get juice on my lips easier too. I'm just not sure which I like best tho. They both have their good & bad points. I might even go for the straight barrel shorty on my next order. So cheap, Ynot...

    The way they work is to funnel the juice to the atty. If you gently blow before and after dripping, you won't get liquid in your mouth unless you put way too many drops. I find the needle point bottle toppers make it really easy (I use one of the bottles from Tasty Vapor).

    I have tried most of the drip tips and here are my favs and why:
    ---anodized aluminum from Drip Tips because they are really sharp looking and have a larger opening without being a heavy, clunky tip like some. One of the nicest suppliers I have ever dealt with, Tim has earned the business.
    ---2nd favs are these Drip Tips

    I think someone asked if you can use drip tips on the KR8...yes you can. The ones for the 510 should also fit 901 or KR8, you would have to pop the top off the cartomizer and I haven't done it yet but will be trying it soon. It might actually make me like cartomizers, who knows.
