Anybody prefer dripping?

[Iron Molly]

*raises hand* Been dripping just about since I started vaping. But that was back when your choice was dripping or trying to fold up teabags into those horrible plastic carts! Have tried a lot of other things along the way but the only thing that comes close for flavor is bottom-fed. I usually use 510 LR bridgeless attys but picked up a Bullet rba and am liking that as well! Have one of the vision rba's but the vape on that one is a bit too cool for me.

Also jealous of all the options new people have now!

I know the method of dripping is usually not how people start out, I'm just curious as to how many "newbs" are converting. It is my preferred setup.

I converted to dripping pretty early on.

I'm older and retired, so I'm at home most of the time. That make the hassle of dripping a no big deal sort of thing. When I go out I just grab my Reo, and drip from the bottom.

My first experience was the Vision Eternity. At this moment I use the Smok RDA which is very nice and it gaves me a wonderful taste and flash with my favorite liquids. Next step will be the 306DCA

I've been using dripping RBA's alot lately. I have bottom feeders, but the RBA's seem to give better flavor at the moment. I just got n a Smok RDA, the octapus, just washed it out, haven't tried it yet. I'm wondering how many drops it holds, it looks like alot, like 15-20. I get 10-13 drops in my Pheonix and TBC-2. I had a Vision Eternity but I dropped it and it broke off at the 510 connection.

I've been dripping almost since the beginning I have my bottom feeders and my Genesis RA's and my Vivi Nova's for when I leave the house but I still prefer dripping and drip most of the time

Someone here mentioned folding teabags and that gave me a flashback. Cutting teabags, or fish tank foam and sticking it into straws, rolling batting to insert into a cartridge, etc. I did it too! Then I started dripping and there was no going back to fish tank foam stuck into a straw - lol I still have a little of the fish tank foam. If anyone wants it you can have it -

I have the Vision Eternity and found it airy, was disappointed in the leaking, and the posts are not stable on mine. The one I purchased ended up being an overpriced, poor performing device. If yours works & you like it - good for you

Still drip a lot with the 510 atomizer. Some I've debridged, some I haven't. I also use the Smoketech RDA and really like it. The draw on it is good for me. Does it leak. Sure it does. Any dripping atomizer will leak if you tip too much or overfill it. That is the nature of the beast. The 510 atty's and the Smoketech RDA provide the best flavor for me. The Smoketech RDA is easy to rebuild. ymmv

Okay, big newb here! What is dripping?

 

[Junebug07]

Anyone willing to explain to me what dripping is?

Okay, big newb here! What is dripping?

lol.. glad I'm not alone

 

[pkj]

You take an atomizer and put a few drops of juice directly on the coil. Then you vape.
Add a couple more drops, vape some more.
Repeat as needed.

Or purchase a Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer, aka RDA, and you can add anywhere from 10 to 20 drops of juice, depending on the model.

Hope this helps a little

Thanks, pkj!

I drip occasionally but having a tank is so much easier. I prefer long drags as well so I constantly have to be dripping when I do

 

[Junebug07]

Thanks! The video was very helpful, I'm feeling edumacated already

I'm loving my rba dripper. It really does deliver the goods. I finally just last week got a Reo. It's a bottom feeder that seems to have survived in popularity a long time and I figured what could be the big difference between bottom dripping and top dripping in the vape. Well so far I don't see any difference in the premade Atties (510 joye tech) which can be used in either application. I am, however going to try to find a rba for bottom feeders now and I'm not in a terribly big hurry because I have my dripper rba. I prefer it, dripping, from top or bottom! Ha ha. And with rba as definite 1st choice for delivering more of the goods in the vape. Meaning WTA as well as nic for me and I don't like wasting any of that juice because I find it's so expensive compared to DIY. What kind of Atties are you interested in? What ones do you like the most? Just wondering

 

[Faylool]

It's good! It's my first rba and I managed with the help of prewrapped wicks. I know it's cheating but it taught me a lot and got my hands in it. With mine I cut off as much wick ends as possible because that's how it came ( preinstalled) but you can leave longer wick curled around the well bottom. I think that's how people are getting so many drops in. I just like as little wick as possible and used to dripping frequently if vaping a lot.

I'm a dripper. My LR 306s only last about a week. I have a phoenix clone rebuildable but haven't tried it yet.

 

[cherrycakes]

I like dripping but only when I'm trying out new flavors or at the house

 

[antimentholiker]

i bought a dripping atomizer to try some flavors, but i ended up using quite a lot. i think the flavor is very 'pure'

Ahhh! Good Times.

My name is Eikon and I am a dripaholic.

I did the whole foam thing, then I tea bagged for a while, thought the straw would be my salvation, but none of these things ever really worked. And then the early cartomizers came along, well I guess they worked OK, if you were into the whole vaping a dirty gym sock thing. I finally gave up on the whole thought of something other than a bottle holding my juice, and turned to dripping.

Then came the 'CE1' and the first generation of Clearos with there promise of clean flavor and the ability to hold an entire .8ml of juice, but soon all you were left with was an empty carto and a pocket full of juice. So, disillusioned, I went back to my old friend dripping. Even when a guy they called The Most Angry Pirate came along with his newfangled MAP-Tank thing, my only thought was, 'Great 5mls of dirty gym socks dripping down my leg'.

The trauma of those early days was so harsh that only in the past few months I have been able to even think about tanks. I find I enjoy the Genesis style RBAs. The whole process of rubbing my fingertips raw to rolling wick, then burning them to a crisp oxidizing the wick and getting the coils just right, then banging my head against the wall because it's still shorting, to be, well, therapeutic.

But I find that even in this age of enlightenment, this age of rebuildables, I prefer drippers. Give me an $8 Phoenix style over a $200 Genesis style, and I'll be a happy vaper.

YES I AM A DRIPAHOLIC. And I am proud to be a dripaholic!!!

Just remember, NEVER Drip and Drive.

(I am exaggerating the Genesis setup experience, I do Love my Genes, I use them in the car all the time, like I said NEVER, EVER DIP AND DRIVE! Dripping and driving is probably more dangerous than texting while driving)

I took the plunge and bought a few HH 357 attys and was amazed at the flavor and amount of vapor produced. I'm hooked on dripping so I was lucky enough to be able to procur an AMP tank from Avid Vapor last night. For anyone not in the know, the AMP tank is a tank that uses a dripping atty. So happy.
