Best add on to use for conserving e liquid?

[Craigo121]

Hi there fellow vapers!

I first got my riva battery kit a couple weeks ago and have loved vaping! There's been a few flavours I've tested that really werent that nice at all but I had a 5ml sample of apple which I loved! and have ordered more which should turn up today But I first tried apple with my ego clearomizer I got with my kit and it seemed to rinse a lot more juice a lot faster than my RY4 did in my kangel bottom coil clearomizer, any ideas if this was the type of juice (thickness or whatever ? even though they both seemed quite thin liquid) or if it was the type of clearomizer that was doing it? As im noticing the same results from now using USA mix in my ego clearomizer!

But main question is which add on is the best for making e liquid last the longest? Dripping into attys, cartomizers, carto tanks, clearomizers, nova tanks etc?

Any ideas would be of great help

Thanks

Imho the most frugal way of using your e-liquid is to drip onto an old-school 510 atty with cone. Juice seems to last a lot longer that way. RDAs EAT juice but of course you get tons of flavour and vapour. Ymmv.

whats RDA? I'm still quite new to vaping lol Yeah I tried dripping I didn't see too much of what all the fuss was about, I dont mind it but to me its abit annoying to constantly having to drip as I just like to pick it up take a few hits and pop it back down plus with a busy life schedule always hard to just drip but those ego clearomizers seem to take a lot of juice? Same as nova tanks ? as im thinking of getting a nova tank or maybe even a carto tank

RDA is a Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser. You want to use less juice, so I'd leave these alone for now.

Actually with a drip tip on a 510 that's exactly what you do. Nothing easier.

is it that much easier to just drip into the drip tip? how much on average does 3 drops of juice equal? Because I tried the LR standard 510 atomizer dripped straight away and tasted horrible and burnt but I think that was the juice they fit in for factory shipping, tried with a fruit juice I wasent sure on afterwards and was not burnt maybe I should try it with the apple and the caramal im getting delivery today I'll need to use tanks or clearomizer for when going out though cos I could imagine dripping while out would be a pain lol

It really is easy to drip into the drip tip. You're right about the nasty taste when you first used one - you can avoid that by blowing the priming liquid out, mouth on the battery end of the atty. Then add 3 drops of your liquid and you'll be good to go. The dripper's friend is a 10ml plastic bottle. Carry this around and use as needed. It becomes second nature - you won't even know that you're doing it.

As to how much three drops equals - you should get a good few drags off before you need to top up. You'll know when you need to do this as it will start to taste hot and dry. If you accidentally overdrip just blow the atty out as mentioned before. Also do this if the draw starts to get stiff after a while. It's also the only cleaning you ever need to perform on a 510 atty. Any kind of rinsing, dry burning or alcohol bath will just knacker it imho.. Hope that helps.

oh nice! Looks like your advice might help! I'll give it a try when I get home tonight how long will atomizers usually last untill need to purchase new one? As you just need to blow out? Do you wash with water at all? If your using diff flavours in the same atty etc?

 

[e-pipeman]

Definitely avoid washing or soaking of any kind - this can, imho, kill atomisers very quickly. Just blow through to degunk/clean. A cheapy 510 should last at least a fortnight. Often they can last a month or two - but always carry a spare. It takes about half-an-hour to break them in very often. Don't forget - they're much cheaper than the alternatives.

While the juice itself may have some small effect on this, the main factor is how much power is being used to vaporize the juice.
The more power, the hotter the coil will get, and the more juice will be vaporized.

You can increase power by increasing the voltage, or decreasing the resistance of your atomizing device.
Because you are using the same voltage, it seems that the only difference is the resistance.

So it appears that your Ego clearomizer is a lower ohm device than your Kanger clearomizer.

A dead battery. Your juice will last forever. Sorry had to do that. You've already been give some great advice. I don't worry about how much I use. I buy cheap juice and am starting to DIY.
