bought atomizers for my 901...question about mouthpieces

[pryan67]

So I just ordered a bulk pack of 10 atomizers from vaporkings.com

They say NOT to use the mouthpieces that are included...but I don't see any difference between them and the ones you buy seperately. IS there a valid reason NOT to use the ones that came with them?

they are used for shipping.
but you can wash them and use them for direct dripping.
of course you have to take it off before you can drip onto the atty.

They dont have the fiber filling,they are just empty caps for shipping.You can use them if you drip.

hmmm....well, since I use e-liquid and the same sort of mouthpiece, only with a foam insert....I should be able to use them then, right?


or am I misunderstanding dripping?

you can drip into the cart if it has filler.

Dripping is done into the atty. The driptip(DT), or mouthpiece, is only there because the atty gets hot. You can use an old cart by taking out the filler, or the "blanks" that come with attys. The advantage of a DT is that you can re-drip without taking it back off again.

2 drops=around 3-6 hits, then add a couple more.

Ah...ok...so basically REAL dripping is the same as regular vaping, only you don't have the foam filler in the mouthpiece (and the mouthpiece has a larger opening, so you can re-drip more easily)


I use the foam fillers in the mouthpiece right now...was curious as to why they tell us not to use the mouthpieces that come on the atomizers...I've only been vaping 3 weeks, so I'm still a newbie I greatly appreciate all the help and advice from the forum members here.

Yup, you got it! I think they just say not to use the tips to keep people from dripping juice into the caps (with no filler) then wondering why its leaking

Best of luck, and let us know how it goes.

The mouth piece that comes with the atty's are for shipping only (Dummy ends). They do not contain the fiber to hold e liquid so even if you tried to use them nothing would happen except sucking a load of e liquid into your mouth! I also would not recommend direct dripping with a 901 as they do not have a seal in the atomizer. This means E liquid can leak through the atty and into the battery causing it to stop working or if that doesn't happen you will just end up flooding th atomizer and it will also stop working. So typically with the 901 you should only use e liquid with blank carts (carts containing fiber but no liquid) or for topping up pre filled carts which you can do up to 3 or 4 times before you should change the cart for a new one.

Top tip: Only use one or two drops when refilling a cartridge and let it soak. If you fill it to much the liquid will seep through the atty and into the battery with the same consequences as direct dripping. When people speak of direct dripping here on ecf they will most likely be using a 510 which has a special seal to prevent liquid seeping through to the battery. I hope this has been helpful for you and maybe saved a few of your atty's from a premature death Happy vaping

that was VERY helpful

I'm happy with the 901 so far...I don't direct drip...I do prime the atomizer with a couple of drops though...which I believe we're supposed to do


I might upgrade to a different e-cig...just not sure which to get...there are too many to choose from *LOL*
