Cough, cough, cough...

...new to dripping, always used a tank system, now I know what a dry hit is first hand.
Note to self, check before inhaling...

Haha we all know that feeling. A dry hit in a tank is never that bad as it is in an RDA.
Oh, remember to check the top cap if you remove it when putting juice on. One of these days you might get a nice coil brand on your lip.

Dat first dry hit....

Once you have been dripping for a while you will know when your wick is starting to go dry without even looking.

There are a few rda's that come with a glass topcap;
good for starting out with rda's till you get used to recognising the taste of wick about to go dry.

I can feel a dry hit coming from a mile away on my new shiny N80 wire. Kanthal had a tendency to trick me and cause me to fall over... almost dead. But then I got smart - and not the SMRT kind of smart either. But I did eventually figure out when to redrip after the first couple of harsh, scratchy, carbon tasting pulls on an RDA. It came with practice and a lot of pulling off the barrel or top cap to figure it out. As far as dry hits on a tank, I remedied that crap with temperature control. Since most of my juices will crush a plastic tank faster than a ...... off Hulk does to a VW beetle, I'm left with either glass or stainless steel tank sections. And even then on glass - you aren't 100% certain you'll not get a dry hit especially if the glass section clouds up from vapor or liquid condensation.

Still to this day - nothing tastes worse and will knock the soles right off of your feet than a dry stainless steel mesh wick.
