Subject says it all. Looking for a good set up for sampling many different liquids without breaking the bank. I currently use Boge LR cartos (which I am extremely satisfied with!) but I hate to fill up a full carto for a juice I might not even like or a juice that I only like occasionally. Seems if I fill a carto with juice and let it sit too long, even with caps, the flavor/carto goes bad. I'm sure I'm looking at some kind of drip atomizer set up but I've never done dripping before. What are good drip atomizers for eGo style batts? I've read some about de-wicking and de-bridging and I'm confident in my ability to perform a de-wick/bridge but I'm just confused as to what to do with which atomizers.

Also, how many atomizers does ECF recommend for tasting? I've heard some juices can leave flavor even after blowing out. Maybe one for tobaccos, one for menthols and another for fruits? Last, I eventually plan to give RBAs a try, are certain ones better for dripping?

Thanks!

I believe this might work...Joyetech eGo-T Atomizer Type B (Cylinder Shaped) - MyFreedomSmokes.com. I am by no means an expert. If I am wrong, maybe one of our veterans will correct me. Good luck & VAPE ON:vapor:

Close, but that atty is for an ego-t tank setup. That same vendor has THIS that will work for dripping. These "dripping" atty's are essentially just a cartomizer without filler. If you already have a cartomizer you can simply remove the cotton/filler and use it as a dripper, but only use 2-3 drips at max or else they will flood your PV.

If you really want to get into dripping then I would advise you get a rebuildable dripping atomizer(RDA). They will save money in the long run because you can replace the coil yourself instead of having to buy a new atty. With an RDA, you can adjust the ohm/resistance, and they also provide a much better vape/taste.
It will take a little time to learn how to rebuild the RDA, but it is well worth it in the long run. Here is a link to a type of dripper that is great for a beginner with no rebuilding skills:
$6.58 Bulb Style Electronic Cigarettes Round Mouth Atomizer (2.8mL) - translucent / 2.4

Look into a bridge-less dripping attomizer, you can dry burn them, and change flavors pretty easily.

I like a low resistance 306 (remember you have to get a 306 drip tip) on a standard eGo for testing new flavors. I debridge them with a pair of needle nose pliers. Drip a few drops and it's usually enough to know if I want to commit a flavor to a tank or my RDA. To clean... just blow out the excess into a paper towel, quick dry burn and it's ready for the next flavor.

For an RDA, check out the Igo-L or W. They are great for dripping and cheap. But, they aren't that good for testing flavors as you usually need to rinse the wick and then let it dry to switch flavors. Unless the flavor is similar to the one you're already vaping.

Thanks for the tip! The 306 sounds perfect for what I want to do. Not too expensive either. Thanks again!

I have 2 methods for just sampling.

1. I have a few cartos that I have removed the filler (leave the center tube). Just a couple of drops gets you several puffs. Not a full time dripping device and not wise to use on auto batts due to potential leaking...but a simple and cheap way to sample.

2. T4 clearos. Small. Cheap. Easy to clean.

You may want to cut your teeth with less expensive attys like Genuine Joye 510 electronic cigarette 10-pack of stainless steel atomizers before getting an hh.357 because you don't want to damage an expensive atty simply because you're learning and making mistakes is part of the process, atleast it was with me. Also, don't worry about debridging stuff nowadays, you can get inexpensive "bridgeless" attys from sites like Empiremods.com, too.

The following video may be helpful, especially about cleaning



ETA: Make sure you have atleast some soda on hand because sampling juices a lot may lead to vapers tongue, here's more on the subject http://www.ecblendflavorshop.com/helpdesk/knowledgebase.php?article=1

Admittedly I am newbie but dripping has sort of become my standard, especially because I go from flavor to flavor with often times a different flavor with each drip (I'm learning the what I like in flavors)...

Anyways quite nearly any dipping atty will do for the first little while I just used the one the employee at B&M handed me when I asked for an atty (I don't even know its name)...

The one thing I can't over emphasis is get a drip shield, they are a couple bucks but worth not constantly getting juice all over your hands:( which is what happened to me until my drip shield arrived...

As for the so called "best dripping atty" my understanding is that the IGo is the best of the dripping attys. There's 3 versions, the small (IGo-S), large (IGo-L) & the double coil (IGo-W). The IGo-W is what I bought & would recommend if you like a lot of vapour, I'ld be using it right now except the sent the wrong one:(

If lots of vapor (at the expense of using more juice) doesn't matter to you then get either the small or large based on your preference & style.

The only drawback to the IGo is that it doesn't come ready to go with a coil & wick in place (some places include a little kit of supplies to get you started making the needed coils but some don't). So make sure to check on that... I don't know if they sell premade coils for the IGo but if they don't &/or you & the IGo you buy don't have wicks & wire then make sure to pick some up at the same time. Either way you will probably want to pick up some extras wire & wicks unless you already have some.

Anyways hope this helps

Not to mention a 10-14 day lead time. But I should add that I did receive one much sooner than that. Plus the custom option. For example, I wrote in the order comments when I ordered my short barrel that I intended on using it on a Reo (which is a bottom juice feeding mod).

So when I received it, immediately noticed they drilled out the holes larger than my previous long barrel. Things like that. But if none of this makes sense to you, or doesn't apply -- then you're still better off with less expensive ones, like 4-6 bucks a pop or less if you buy in bulk. I can't notice much of any difference between an hh.357 from avidvaper and a bridgeless 510 from empiremods if I closed my eyes, if that helps.
