Bridgeless is a drippers dream atty

[King_Calculon]

LOL King, my one standard is a spitter too. Gotta love the pretty volcanic action they produce, but Yes, this is a do at your own risk. If you burn ur eye clear out of your socket, zap yourself, fry a battery, or kill an atty, don't say you weren't warned.

PS
I know from experience, it isn't bright to look straight down into an atty right after dripping. That stuff is an eye scorcher!

Dang! That sounds pretty nasty Shan. I have been weighing the pros and cons of maybe sticking a little screen down in there, like a splatter guard for cooking bacon. I keep thinking that it would 1. probably make dripping more difficult and 2. increase the chances of sucking juice into the mouth.

And, unfortunately, I am not a Jedi. I am just a random guy with a lethal "spitting cobra" mod on one of my atomizers.

LOL I've totally been looking down the barrel at this stuff heating up! Just out of wonder! Curiosity definitely kills the cat! I've heard a few crackle and pops...haven't seen the neat juice balls and contrails yet, though :/

also about taking out the wick that is within the coil, ymmmv, i have had alot of trouble burning up attys with no wick inside the coil, it may be better to keep that one, not sure maybe someone else has had the same problem, also fsusa's thicker juices to seem to leak a lot less, better for a debridged/dewicked.

I find it takes away the burnt taste that you get with a LR atty after taking a few hits on a direct drip. The burnt taste is coming from the mesh I believe, and once removed the mesh...I've been getting the burnt taste less and less on a tornado battery, with LR atty

 

[cr12]

i really think the burnt taste was coming from the top wick (if you will) there is a tiny wick within the coil of the atty itself and then a larger wick that sits under the bridge, but im not sure, i know ive burnt up two from taking the wick out of the coil so i may not do that anymore and im using LR 510s

OK. I just did this to the very first atty I've ever owned -- I just started vaping about a month ago. It's a Cisco, Low Res XL for an 808. I've sucked on this atty with a drip tip for the last 8 or 9 days, and all of a sudden it turned nasty.

After removing the bridge, as instructed, I cleaned it with hot water, then white wine vinegar agitation in a very small container, then hot water forced through it again, swung it in a sock, and blew it out with a can of computer dust remover compressed air. Then I dry burned it a few times.

It is drying out for a bit now while I'm watching it before I try to add some juice.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thx for the video, Shan B!!!!!!

As promised, here is my opinion.

I'm not that happy with the bridge removal. I wish I would have tried just the cleaning of the atty first. It seems to leak a lot more now, and 2 or 3 drops don't seem to last anywhere near as many vapes.

JMO. Your mileage may vary.

tim i noticed the same thing about how many drops needed before i flood the atty. used to be 2 or 3 drops with the bridge. but now, all i need is one.

this may be kinda pointless to have a drip tip, but when i put a drop in, i take off the drip tip and let the drop run down the side. this lets it soak into to mesh around the coil, letting only just enough to get onto the coil to produce that nice warm thick plume of smoke. if i hear any gurgling, i know its a little flooded, and i dont get as much vapor. so i just give it a quick firm blow. enough to force the excess juice back out of the coil area. good to go after that.

occasionally blowing out any excess juice into a napkin also helps out a lot.

NukeDOC,

The drip tip I'm using is a straight-through KVS 510/901 Delrin from Clouds of Vapor. The hole is not tapered toward the bottom, and therefore it doesn't center the drip as some apparently do. I've got some various other ones on order now. All I need to do is let it run down the sides if I want, or try to hit the center if I don't. Also, it is VERY hard to pull on and off. The o-ring fits extremely snugly.

Since, atm, I'm actually using the RS808D-1 batteries from Vapor Junction, which are part of their starter kit by the same number, the batteries are not sealed at the tops. They are actually made by Royal Smokers. If I were to blow, there is a possibility that I might blow juice into the battery.

Thx!

Agreed, takes more dripping..and leaks a 'lil here and there....but the vapor and flavor is incredible.

I blow mine out a couple of times a day. You remove the atty from the battery, hold a napkin or paper towel in your hand and blow into the atty so that it will discharge into the napkin/towel.

Update.

I think I screwed it up. It's lose at the bottom in there now and the whole thing doesn't get as red as before, just the middle area with the coil. Maybe something is a bit different with the Cisco LR atty, or maybe I got too aggressive. So, take my experience with a grain of salt. I'll give it a second go when I've got a rather dead atty again.

You have to be careful. If you pull too hard on the bridge or the mesh you will loosen the ceramic atomizer coil housing from the atomizer wall.

 

[Shan B]

Yes, what King said, that's why I strain in the video GENTLE

 

[icemanx3]

Hi, it only should get red right in the middle, at the coil. Is it vaping ok? Actually, if it's loose you may get some leaking I am guessing :/ mine leaks a tiny bit when I dump a bunch of drops in

[skullfreak]

i just did this and i really see no difference

 

[Shan B]

if your not seeing a difference, did you clean it?

because you should be seeing a big difference in vapor production a bit.

 

[skullfreak]

no did not clean it, let me watch the vid agian

Yeah, I am about 5 out of 7 (or batting .710 ) when it comes to de-bridging these suckers. I ruined an LR last night because I didn't take my time. Instead of using the right tools, I used a paper clip and i was pulling the bridge and mesh out of the atty without any respect for the device. I loosened it up quite a bit and did not even realize it. The atty died on me about 8 hours after I did that. I wasn't getting anything and tried a few different batteries, and it just wasn't sparking. I realized then that i must have loosened the connections as i was trying to remove the mesh and bridge. From now on, i'm just going to stick with leaving the atty as is, and will keep the mesh and bridge intact while dripping

At first i thought it was less burnt taste because the mesh was gone...in reality, the mesh is what keeps the coil lubricated and a little "wet" which actually preserves the atty, and helps to not allow the atty to dry out.

Once you remove the mesh and bridge, You can run the atty dry really fast, and you get an "over-the-top" burnt taste that feels like a toothpick on fire was just shoved down your throat. Of course YMMW, and this is my opinion, which might not even be accurate, but that's how I felt and that is the way I saw it when I was tasting burnt liquid where as before (when the mesh and bridge where there) it didn't taste as bad, or dry out as fast.

 

[King_Calculon]

best way to clean is how?

I soak the atomizers in 99% isopropyl alcohol, then let them dry. Once they dry, I do a couple of dry burns to get any buildup off the coils.
