What is the best alternative to dripping? Currently, I am dripping all the time. I find it offers the best flavor, amount of vapor, throat hit, etc.

I find that if I'm not dripping, the experience is less than optimal and I feel the need to go back to regular cigarettes. The dripping is great at home, and work, but doesn't work so well when out and about. I've tried the clearos and find the flavor very muted. I've also tried cartos to no success.

Is there a carto that is above and beyond the best? I want an experience as close to dripping as possible.

What's your kit?

Value Vapor sells drip carts, which is just a cartridge with a button to feed the atty. I've never tried it.

I prefer the 901-T system. The flavor is a little muted compared to dripping, but it gives me a finer degree of control for flavor and throat hit. It's what I use all day while driving my truck.

You could get a bottom feeder. The atty goes on top and juice gets squeezed in from underneath from a bottle.

Yep, have to agree. It's been a long time since I've dripped...but if you're going to do it that way, imo, a bottom feeder and an atty go best together.

Good luck!

Another option without having to replace your PV though not as long lasting as a bottom feeder is a drip style RBA. They hold 15-25 drops depending on model and setup.
Examples:
IGO-L Rebuildable Dripper Atomizer
Pegasus A7 Rebuildable Atomizer - Stainless Steel

OR an AGA tank style RBA with SS mesh wick is like combining the vape quality of dripping with the longevity of a tankomizer, example:
Aga-T Rebuildable Atomizer Kit
Aga-S Rebuildable Atomizer
AGA Hydra - Rebuildable Atomizer - Stainless

Using RBAs is a learning curve, but not many who try them turn away from them.

A vivi nova could also fit the bill without having to buy a new rig.

a Vivi doesn't even come close imho.

Plus if you're going that route the Genesis attys have been suggested and, quite frankly, with the AGA-T and AGA-S hanging around now,I don't see the point in the nova anymore.

So far from what I've tried cartos and clearos can do well with vapor and throat hit, but none have tasted as good as dripping. One very cheap option you can try to fit a lot more drops into a dripping atty and get the same performance is by using bonuts. Do an efc search if you're interested.

I will second the genesis style RBAs. I rely on the AGA-T and the Chinese clone of the Cobra (Chobra) as my best performing atomizers. That said, I still find myself going back to the Phoenix RBA for dripping, it can hold about 10-15 drops. With a stainless steel wick, it comes pretty darn close to the genesis style IMHO. What I am still looking for is something that gives me the flavor of dripping, but without the leaking or the mess. Need to try a bottom feeder, although the prices on the Reos and the reviews of some of the other brands keep me on the sidelines.

If you just want to try out a bottomfeeder to see if it's for you, check the suppliers section. Someone makes a pretty inexpensive bottom feeder. I haven't tried his, but it's a way to see if it's right for you.

Personally, I love bottom feeders. I don't regret getting one at all and use it everyday. I did try out a less expensive model first though and found I really liked it. They usually hold between 3-6 ml of liquid depending on the size.

Can't lay an AGA on it's side without leaking (that i'm aware of), but that being said, it's "an" option, not "the" option.

While I wouldn't suggest laying them on their side all the time, I did infact have my AGA-T fall over and spend an entire day on its side with no leaking
