Bride or Brideless attys, is 501 or 306 better for beginning

[Myah_June2014]

Hi everybody, I wanna get an atty for testing my juice & for times when I wanna enjoy a juice but not a long period of time. Is a bride or bridgeless one better & for me starting w/ them, is 501 or 306 a better fit? Last question, HR/ LR they both say "if your a beginner with atomizers, this product is not for you" lol, I'm screwed! I have a spinner 2 & mvp2, hopefully I can use it on both but I assume it depends on what ohm I get. I would think 2.0 is safe bet, who knows or I wouldn't be typing this.
Thank you everyone
P. S. OMG, my spell check changed bridge to bride lol.. I can spell promise... And I'm obviously got my numbers turned around! Did ya even notice before u read this haha?

Ty, that helped a lot to get started when I get it & changing juices & stuff. Just wondering in people's opinion if bridge or bridgeless works better for beginning. He didn't really cover that, except both take practice lol. Do 501 hold more juice? I guess the LR / HR is my biggest question.
Ty again for link, awesome stuff!

As both your devices are regulated and variable, you'll be fine with either low resistance or standard. You could try vaping them around 6-7 watts (or around 3.2v for the 1.5ohm and 3.5v for the 2.0ohm) and go up from there until you get the flavor and vapor that tastes good to you.

I've only used non-bridged 510's and I've really enjoyed using them and have got great performance. The main advantage of the bridge is that it can hold a little more juice than a non-bridged but some say it does change the flavor of the vape.

One tip that I will give is if you go down the 510 route, get a sealed atomizer (or get a sealed 510 to 510 connector to protect your battery). This will mean if you drip a little too much juice into it, it will not leak out of the bottom and on to your battery - it will gurgle but nothing else.

Dripping is so very simple and easy to master - and the flavor and vapor are terrific.

Perrrrrrect! Just what I wanted, any good websites you recommend since you've had great luck?
Ty, very helpful

I seen they have 3 ohms. Is there a difference in throat hit with 1.5 vs 2.0 or 3.0? I don't like a harsh, huge throat hit? Oh, do u need a drip shield? I imagine as long as your safe your OK, then again s**t happens so ya never know.. Ty again

I have never dripped. Like you, I'm interested in getting a setup but it hasn't been at the top of my list. I've gotten as far as knowing I want a LR Bridgeless Atomizer and a Dripshield. I've heard good things about the Cisco HH.357 and the Boge Atomizers. I have yet to spend any time over in the Atomizers and Cartridges Forum, which I eventually will do.

Here are some of the videos I have watched on YouTube:

1. MY GO AROUND WITH THE HH.357 ATOMIZER
2. A PBusardo Review - Cisco, the HH.357, & My Life As A Dripper
3. Diary of a VapinGreek #6 Wonderful World of Dripping
4. Using the 306 Atomizer to test out E-Liquid
5. Let's Use Some Dripshields

This may be more information than you want to know. I know I'm a lot like "Alice in the Rabbit Hole" when I'm researching stuff.

I've never tried a 3ohm atty to be honest. But like I said, both of your devices are variable, so you can probably get any of the resistances you mentioned and adjust them to find a vape you like. Higher resistances will usually give you a tiny bit more battery life but when you fire them, they will take a tiny bit longer to heat up. Really, the difference will be small, almost to the point of being insignificant, so pick a resistance to start with and go from there.

As for a drip shield, if you go down the 510 sealed atomizer route, no, you won't need anything else. A drip shield is a specific device to stop over-drips going down into the battery. This is only an issue if you get an unsealed atomizer.
Unsealed atomizers are really good for other applications (like liquid bottom feeders like a REO or a VMOD) but for simple dripping, I'd always recommend a sealed atomizer. As I mentioned previously, if you have a sealed atomizer and put a few drops of juice in too many, you will get poor vapor and flavor and get a gurgle. Just flip the atomizer upside down into a tissue and let the over drips come out, flip it back around and vape away.

In this same scenario with an unsealed atomizer, you will literally see the over drips come out of the airhole on the base of the atomizer and leak onto your battery.

A particular favorite atomizer of mine is the Kidney Puncher long barrel atomizer It's inexpensive and I would put the performance of it against some of the higher-end 510's out there. (Their shipping might be a little higher than you are used to)
I linked to their main atomizer page, you can see both sealed and unsealed on this page.

Best advice I can give is just buy one, give it a try. You'll be in less than $10 and it really will open up another vaping experience for you. Those links Susan posted are a great place to start too.

Great Advice Posted in here!!! My

Get a 510 to 510 Sealed Adaptor and a Drip Shield!! Important things to have in the Dripping World....I use a Lot of adaptors as My Innoken Devices tend Not to Read some of My Atties. I would try a 306 Just for S&G's. I fell In Love with the Ease of Use and Temperature of a LR 1.5, but thats Me. The Shield is a Must for Both though as you can Flood the Heck out of BOth and not have a Mess.With Proper Maintance an atty can Last a Long time. I have a an atty dedicated for tasting DIY's and a set for the Aurora. All that siad dripping is NOt for everyone but IHO I get better Flavor even though the Kayfun can come pretty darn Close.
