You should have seen the bit on Fox and Friends this morning! UGH!!!

I recorded it on my phone. I'll post it to my Vidme account and throw it up here. It's ridiculous! Just goes to show you how one "Fake News" article can spread like wildfire and make every MSM stooge look like an idiot!!!

ETA: Here's the video! Priceless!

I am glad that recently I stopped dripping... once I discovered squonking.

Good for you! Squonking is MUCH safer than dripping! That stuff is dangerous!!

What I love is how they are trying to make dripping out to be something NEW. TOO funny!

I wonder how they would react if they realized that advanced tanks etc came into being because cigalikes were not satisfactory and dripping was a pain in the backside.

Also is their perception that there is no wicking in dripping. For the vast majority there is at least some wicking in there to keep enough juice on the coil to vaporize. The only exception I can think of MIGHT be the old disposable drippers but I THINK they had wicking as well. (501s?) I might have to take one apart and see for myself. I have a few around here somewhere.

The people who Funded the "Teen Dripping" study know all of this. And are Frequent Readers of this Forum.

They are desparate so the liars club gets more outrageous. It's disappointing but not surprising this comes from Yale University. i used to respect that place. It was my father's alma mater. They are consumed by their politics and their snooty self importance.

Fake news and inaccurate news are the same thing. So-called main stream media is no different than what ever the other kind is. I used to enjoy reading the NT times. They have become unbearable. The last time i read a real news story was in Crane's Detroit.

Using the DSE901, 801 atomizers, we(me) were removing the cotton from the tip exposing the atomizer coil and direct dripping on that. Mainly because it was easier than messing with the "wick." Basically got a puff or two off of it and then rinse repeat. That was 2008/2009 - Nothing like what is done now. I don't know of anyone doing a direct drip onto the coil without some sort of wicking.

Edit: Additionally, looking at the coil itself, there was some wicking in the atomizer, we just bypassed the cotton reservoir. The wick was some kind of steelwool but held very little liquid in comparison.

Yeah I think what you describe is what I was hazily remembering. I started vaping and dripping well after that phase of things.

I edited my post above, but there was still steelwool in there. It was a terrible and dark time and took some real dedication to the cause.

Found a couple in a box in my office. Yay.

yep my old school drippers look like yours but never had the fluff. Just the metal wicking. I still have quite a few of them kicking around my vapocalypse box.

Nice to know I was not completely off base.

Edit: THese are similar to what I have lying around (although older ones) just 510 bridgeless drippers not cisco
SR510 Standard Resistance Atomizer 2.5 ohm (Cisco Spec)

Yes, I remember bridgeless and bridged atomizers. I also remember they had the purest flavor.

I also remember refilling cartos and taking them for a spin.

 

[tokarev]

I remember the 901 and 801 atomizers well. The "steel wool" was the bridge. It provided a path for the liquid to be drawn from the cartridge to the coil, so in a sense it acted as a kind of wick. There was still a silica wick in the coil itself that was visible after removing the bridge though.

I don't know of anyone doing a direct drip onto the coil without some sort of wicking.

People who mix their own juice will often use wickless Clapton coils (or any other build with lots of nooks and crannies in the coil itself) for taste-testing. I prefer twisted-core Clapton builds for this. It holds enough juice for 1 - 2 draws, then a quick dry burn and rinse and you're ready for a new flavor.

I mix my own, but I settled on one flavor when I found flavor that I liked 24/7 - going on 3 years of the same flavor.
I did the same when testing with a dripper, but switched the wick.

Either way, it doesn't sound like that fits with the impression the CNN article is giving, in that it's limited to flavor testing and not all the time.

Luckily, you have a dinosaur roaming these boards who can provide first hand information.
Because after 7.5 years of vaping I STILL drip on a 510 atomizer as my main vape.

The post above is correct.
And applies equally to the 510 atomizers.


This is why I never understood those who debridged their atomizers.
I thought they were nuts because all they were doing was reducing their wicking area.


Those who are even remotely interested might want to look up Bonuts.
I never went down that road, but I'm still considering it.

DHHS funded anti-vaping activists Krishnan-Sarin et al found 26% of teens who had ever used an e-cig reported ‘dripping’ e-liquid, which has been done by millions of vapers since 2009 who quit smoking, and is well known, but not by the authors who falsely wrote “dripping is a novel e-cigarette use behavior”. E-Cigarettes and “Dripping” Among High-School Youth | Articles | Pediatrics

The authors claimed teens reported dripping “to produce thicker clouds of vapor, get a stronger throat hit, and make flavors taste better,” but those were the same multiple choice answers provided by the authors for teens to check off in this push-poll survey.
