I hated dripping and always preferred 808 cartomizers until I debridged and dewicked my atty. Then it was a whole different ballgame.
I'm not a fan of dripping on my eGo, even with a debridged/dewicked atty. I prefer the carts with the blue foam mod. Not much different for me in terms of th, taste, or vapor, but constantly dripping is more of a hassle than topping off a cart.
I do drip, however, when flavor testing since it's easier to get the flavor out of a debridged/dewicked atty than an unmodified one, and I don't have to use a whole cart just to try a few puffs.
