Bridged or Bridgless attys?

[chicanopower83]

I'm new to dripping and was wondering what the difference is between a bridged atty and a bridgless atty. I use a lavatube that came with 3.0 ohm bridged attys but have seen posts about bridgless attys and videos about debridging. What are the pros and cons of the two?

well if you de-bridge you run the risk of hosing the atty so be careful, I use the bridgeless atty's on my Reo but I buy them that way from GH1 Bridgeless Atomizers

There are also low bridge vs high bridge attys. Most prefer the low bridge or no bridge for dripping. When vaping at 4.5v - 5.0v, I found that these 801 (BE112) low bridge attys were much better:

IKV 801 SR Mini Atomizer 2.5

801 Bauway Atomizer

I have only debridged one time and to be honest i did not notice a big difference... plus that atty died a few hours later

I agree. I have been using a bridgless atty for a few days and it makes a world of a difference. Full flavor and lots of vape.

I find that removing the bridge makes it to where you have to drip more often and the height of the flavor dosen't last as long. I drip 99% of the time using IKV or Cisco 510 attys when I vape. I've debridged Ciscos and wish I didn't do it afterwards. It can cause juice to sputter out your drip tip into your mouth more often too. Just don't really see any kind of benefit to debridging imo.

I debridged a lr510 and found too little vapor and not that much increase of flavor... I will not do it again.

It may make a difference for some juices, since the darker ones in particular tend to gunk up atties... and de-bridging removes the little wicks that can get burnt juice collected on them. However, this is really a problem with over-heating/over-vaping the juice and not a bridge issue in and of itself (IMO).

I don't debridge mine. No need to. The bridge is there tho help hold (well, really wick) e-juice. May help cool the coil/juice too... IDK for sure.

As with all things e-cigs, YMMV. All you can do is try it and see if it's for you. Waste of time and possibly $$ IMO. But that's me.

To each their own, I debridge mine, but that's just me. I will also say that dewicking is more important than debridging (the wick that is under the bridge, not the one in the coil). It's just that it's easier to dewick when you debridge.
The reason that I dewick/debridge is because IMHO it makes it easier to both change flavors and clean the atty. Better taste is not the reson for me.
