am i doing something wrong?

[canes52]

I just got a riva kit, i am direct dripping with a drip tip. im dripping right onto the bridge and not getting the liquid ANYWHERE on the outside of the ecig but after i pop the cone off, after a few pulls there is liquid all over the outside of the atty and the threading of the battery. am i doing something wrong?

Probably putting too much juice in it. Take atty off..blow everything out onto a paper towel. Start over..with one drop...vape..vape...one more drop. Then vape till the flavor seems off...then drip maybe two drops this time.

Should get five or six good pulls before you need to drip again. Dont get frustrated..you'll figure it out. There is a learning curve.

It sounds like you're flooding the atty. Take it off and blow it out real well. When you're dripping you should start by priming the atty with 3-4 drops of liquid. It might take a couple of puffs to get things going, but since you're also using a brand new atty it needs a little time to get broken-in, too. When the flavor changes and vapor production drops off add 2-3 more drops.

With 510 atty's I always drip 3 drops. 2 drops will only give about 5 or 6 good hits, 4 drops floods it. When I drip 3 drops I'll get between 12 and 15 good hits.
