You want bridge less if you are using the atomizer for dripping. That way you are vaping liquid straight from the coil. The bridge is stainless steel mesh that pulls the liquid to the mesh. It is mainly used for people that use cartridges with atomizers, instead of dripping.

Either one will still work for the purpose that you are wanting them for. Bridge less is preferred though.

Bridges aren't necessary. They were used backed when people put a cap with polyfoam filled with juice on the atomizer. The bridge would make contact with the polyfoam and the juice would drip on the the coil, they never worked that great. Today with dripping bridges tend to get in the way. Back before I switched to using rebuildables exclusively I only used bridgeless attys. I Cisco LR bridgeless 306 was my atty of choice.

If you're new to dripping, a bridge gives you a margin of error, it holds a few drops of juice for the coil. A bridgeless atty is easier to flood, or get a dry hit, you need to keep it "dripped" with just the right amount, without too much as to start leaking.

With a 306 atty you can also take the tip off and dip the bridge into your juice. Used to be called "dipping" instead of dripping.

I don't recall off the top of my head but I picked up three of Kidney Punchers extra long bridgeless atties and they are wonderful. Taste a juice for 4-5 drops, dry burn twice, start all over with a new juice with no trace of the old juice whatsoever. Love them!

Sounds great to me..is that the name of the shop Kidney Punchers?

    There are advantages and disadvantages to everything (including bridges), and there really isn't a right or wrong with them. It's just a matter of what an individual is use to and likes.

    Every type of atomizer will perform/taste just a little differently, so don't be afraid to try several. There is no way that any of us can say which one YOU will like best.
    This is also a pretty good atty
    Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm
    So is this

    I just got some Empire Bridgeless attys in and they are incredible on my Reo. I'm with the above. I went with 1.5. They run hot. I'll look at a 1.8 next time.

    I've done Iken and Ciscos so far. I'm really impressed with the vapor production on the Empire bridgeless but the flavor on an ikenvape io6, which is bridged, is superior.
