Can I drip with a Riva 510 and how do I do it?

[Denise D]

I searched for this topic but can't find it. I would like to try dripping [right now]. I have a Riva 510, one with 750mAh and one 1100mAh. I have atomizers and empty carts.
I can drip right onto the atomizer but how would I inhale without burning my lips off? Can I take the stuffing out of a blank cartridge and inhale through that? [Okay I'm going to go try that while I wait for help!]

How is dripping normally done? (If there is already a thread, a link would be helpful, the search doesn't come up with anything).

Thanks!

Yes you can take the filler out of a cartridge and use it as a mouthpiece.

Youll want to get a drip tip though. That will go onto the atomizer and you can drip thru it. They can also be put on cartomizers and used as a mouth piece.
Drip tips are cheap and many vendors sell them. Youll want to get a 510 drip tip.
If you use cartomizers, you can order a 15-pack of cartos from CCV and you get a free syringe and drip tip

I'm a bit of a noob, but I'll try to help you. I have been having so much satisfaction with dripping doing what I'm doing so it can't be all wrong. I'm sure others will chime in if I steer you wrong.

If the atty is new, or recently cleaned and dried, I think it's proper to prime it with about 6 drops. Let it sit and soak for a few minutes (thought I guess you don't really have to) Begin to vape. You'll probably need 2 more drops right off the bat. Then, when you notice an off or slightly burned taste, or even a reduction in flavor, drop just 2 drops in and vape your heart out. Some drop 3 or even 4 drops... it's all in preference, but I find too much will lead to leaking. Those two drops should last you for around 10 - 20 toots.

Make sure if its a new atty you blow the primer out. Then on the first few vapes, dont inhale until all the primer taste goes away.

Also, your not going to get 10-20 hits dripping. Your going to singe your wick trying to get that many. Generally you get about 5-7 hits before flavor/vapor starts to drop off and you need to drip again. Be sure to keep the atty wet. If you flood it, blow it out well and start again

I guess you're probably right, mynameisrob. I almost edited that part but was too lazy. But won't it also depend on the juice you're using at the time? I don't know, but it seems like my Boba's Bounty just lasts and lasts forever with 2 drops.

Yes, a drip tip is a must if you want to drip. No one likes tail piping and getting a hot spatter of juice in their mouth.
