can I drip?

[lariders]

I am still very new and I have ordered some juice. Because I did not find this forum till a fter I bought some stuff I have a pure smoke kit. It is a 3 piece system. Can I drip on the atty to try some new flavors before dumping a bunch in a carto?

 

[Credo]

Sure can.

That looks like a normal atty to me from what I can tell by the photo, so:
Pull out the cart...
Give the atty a good blow through the battery end into some tissue or something.

Put 3 to 5 drops on the bridge of the atty
Do a couple of burns (without drawing air if possible, if ya got auto batteries, two quick draws'll do)
Drip a few more drops on the bridge...
Vape away...it should last about like lighting a regular ciggy with this amount of juice.

From there just keep the atty wet with a drop or two every 8 to 10 hits till you're ready to stop. Vape it till the vapor gets thin or tastes a little dry, blow out the atty good through the battery end of it and put it away.

Careful if you have auto batteries (no button). You don't want to over-drip on these as the juice can run down into the battery and gum up the switch or short it. If this is the case...be more conservative priming the atty than I've described...it might take a little time to learn just the right amount without flooding or over-dripping.

opps I almost forgot to ask. I am going to be putting in another order real soon. I ordered the kr808d1 from v4l. what will or do I need to just try a new flavor without using up a carto?

 

[lariders]

sorry but is a bridge?

A couple of options on this:

1. Pull the polyfill part out of a KR808 Carto (leave the center tube in) and drip into that. Again, be careful if you have auto batteries. If auto batteries, you can drip about 3 drops into the battery end of the destuffed carto, let that soak a minute, wipe the threads clean, then put it on the battery and vape. If a manual battery...drip right in from the top and tail-pipe it Now you have somewhat of a dripping atty. Good enough to taste a few drops at a time.

2. Get a 901 atomizer. It has the same thread type as a KR808D-1 and the airflow will be fine. You can drip in that or use its native cartridges. Again, if auto batteries, be careful of over-dripping.

3. You could also use other atty types like the 510 or 306 with a thread adapter.

sorry but is a bridge?

It's a little wire-mesh looking bump that touches the filler of the cartridge when it is inserted.

Some e-cigs out there use a 'tank' type atty instead of a bridged one. In that case it would have a spike that punches up through a tank that holds juice with no filler material. If your e-cig is like that, you can still drip in it. It just might not prime up the same as I described above.

 

[lariders]

If I get a 901 atty. what goes over that?

 

[swedishfish]

I don't know this for a fact but I 'think' you can use on 901 atty on your KR808. If you need an adaptor to do this, I don't know. Hopefully someone can help.

 

[swedishfish]

I type slow- listen to Credo.

901 cartridges can be used with it. These don't hold but a few drops of juice so to me they're not really worth the trouble. Might as well just prime it good and vape The naked bridge will hold up to 8 drops with a good hot battery (a weaker battery might favor more like 5 drops).

The 901 atty usually comes with a hollowed out whistle tip that is just like the carts for it minus the filler. So you can prime it and put that tip back on, or purchase a 901/808/510 drip tip that will allow you to easily add drops as you go and not have to pull the tip out constantly to do it.

Lucid clear carts will work in it, and possibly even the 510 smart carts (I've never tried the smart carts).

 

[lariders]

ok but what goes on the atty. I am not sure what to buy after the atty. is there some kind on mouth peice that will go over the 901 atty?

 

[lariders]

ok thanks. I think I got it. 901 atty and a 901 drip tip. or will a 808 drip tip fit? or are they the same?

 

[swedishfish]

I'm guessing that if the 901 atty fits the 808 drip tip will too.

Put 3 to 5 drops on the bridge of the atty
Do a couple of burns (without drawing air if possible, if ya got auto batteries, two quick draws'll do)
Drip a few more drops on the bridge...

What's with the burns?

From there just keep the atty wet with a drop or two every 8 to 10 hits till you're ready to stop.

Not to be a douche, but how many drops you should put in depends on a number of factors...
--The size of the drops
--How long your drags are
--How much juice your atomizer can hold
--The resistance of your atomizer

I use a 510 atomizer and take very long drags at 3.7volts.
I put three drops in when it needs refilling.

And how many drags you will get is also subject to differences.
I only get about 6 drags off my three drops, and have to put in 3 more to get a good "cigarette break" type experience.

Vape it till the vapor gets thin or tastes a little dry, blow out the atty good through the battery end of it and put it away.

Why would you blow it out so often?
That sounds like a serious pain in the ...., and totally not necessary.

ok thanks. I think I got it. 901 atty and a 901 drip tip. or will a 808 drip tip fit? or are they the same?

Yep, 510, 901, 808 drip tips...same size or close enough.

Give it a try...
The formula works for me.

It takes roughly 2 drops to wet the central wick and somewhat fill the bowl itself.
Another few drops to saturate the vertical wicks under the bridge.
A couple more to fill the screen.

The two burns are kinda like priming a well-pump or the suction used to syphon liquids.....
We wanna get the juice flowing and make room for more....
Fluid dynamics....and mainly benefits the flow along the vertical wicks between the bridge and the main coils (that puff of heat/steam also helps break up films, warm the system a bit, and get it all moving/flowing).

Blowing them out gives you a fresher start (changing flavors anyone?)...gets gum outta the bowl and breaks the film (oxidation) that can form on the surface of liquids remaining in the atty or on the wicks between uses (especially VG ones). It also gives a little more 'consistently the same' drop count...a predictable routine. It's really not that difficult.

Of course all atties and bridges are not exactly equal....your mileage may vary some...but it works for me every time...esp with the standard SLB or DSE 901...on any battery I choose so far. I do have some nice custom wide-bridged 510 stuff that can prime with up to 12 drops and not flood or gurgle (50/50 mix...can't go as many drops with thinner 80 or more PG mixes). 801 and Mega 510 atties, you can really load them up good

ok sounds good. thanks for the help. I do under stand that everything is not the same as the next. I will be placing another order on mon for a 901 atty and drip tip, 3 more 808 bats, yes I like the 808 for now, another charger, another case and another pcc. I have 25 or so different juices on there way, I got some from v4l, mister e, and freedom, next week I am thinking about about trying some from vermillion, johnson creek, and some more v4l.

Dripping is not recommended on automatic batteries. Do you have manual batteries? Some manual batteries still have a hole in the threaded end but at least they are harder to kill or damage with a juice leak vs autos.

 

[lariders]

I just ordered the 901 atty for my 808. if a 901 atty will fit a 808. then what makes the two different?

on one of them you get the airflow through vents or holes on the battery piece and on the other you get the air flow through vents/holes on the atomizer part. You can use a 901 atomizer on an 808 battery but not the other way around (901 batt/808 carto) unless you use an adapter.
