I'd like to try direct dripping. I've looked at youtube videos and searched the internet and still do not understand what equipment I need. I have e juice. I have a Kanger EVOD 900mah. I realize I might need a different set up to direct drip. What exactly do I need besides a drip tip? Any help would be great.

you need a rda (rebuildable dripping atomizer)... build your own coil and drip juice instead of using any tanks..

sample below.

drip tip is an old term for removable tips.. ie.. remove the tip so you can drip some juice into the atomizer.

Dripping refers to the technique of removing the cap or drip tip from a dripping atomizer (called an RDA, just a barebones atomizer, no tank or reservoir) and manually dripping ejuice directly onto the wick/coil until saturated, then vaping it nearly dry.

This provides a much more robust and intense vape, vastly customizable to your particular taste, enabling you to get the most flavor and vapor out of your juice. The downside is that it's labor-intensive, it can only hold a few drop of juice before it dries out and gives you a nasty dry hit for your trouble. It also comes with a learning curve in building it so it works not only properly, but at it's best performance.

Then there are rebuildable atomizers (RBA) that have a small tank for juice and work in a similar fashion to the clearomizers you may already be familiar with. They combine the best of both worlds, the convenience of juice storage for hands-free vaping, with the intensity of a customizable atomizer.

You can run one on an eGo, but the battery's lack of power and built-in circuit protections limit your build options and won't provide the intensity that justifies the effort with an RDA/RBA. If you choose to explore this option, a mod upgrade is required. Plenty of mods are available that provide the safety of an eGo while still giving you the power you need to take advantage of advanced attys.

Mechanical mods have no circuit protection and are used for sub-ohm builds. Sub-ohm gives the most intense vape, but there are increased risks with it. Advanced knowledge and experience is required to safely manage the abusive use to which sub-ohm subjects batteries to. Best not to mess with that for a while.

You don't need to rebuild anything to try dripping. You can just order a 510 atomizer and use it for dripping. That used to be the way before all these cool RDA's came on the seen.

I started dripping with one of these: 510 Bridgeless Atomizer - Stainless - 2.4ohm

I have since moved on to RDA's and gave it to my Uncle who I converted. They are incredibly simply and great for someone that wants to try dripping for the first time. Attach one to your batterry, drip in 4 or 5 drops, attach a 510 tip and enjoy.
