Dipping, dripping, or cartridges?

[DC2]

So which do you prefer?

For the purposes of the poll I was initially going to have only two options, lumping dripping and dipping into the same option. I figured they were pretty much the same thing except that you can only dip if you have an exposed atomizer, and if you did, that would be prefered to dripping. But then I am very new to this stuff, so I figured I might just be wrong about that, so I broke them out into seperate choices. If they really are the same, then just add the poll results of each together and compare them with cartridges.

I started this poll with the assumption that dripping/dipping is going to be a preferred choice. I say that because I have been trying both dripping and cartridges, and I much prefer dripping because it gives me a lot more vapor and a lot more flavor as far as I can tell so far. And of course there is no hassling with cartridges. But then again, there is the constant need to drip before every vaping session, and constant vapers will probably not like that one bit. But again, I am only guessing at this point, since I do not vape constantly by any stretch of the imagination.

So yeah, simple question, perhaps?

As for me, I like the dripping aspect because I work at home and like to vape outside only in order to give myself a break from work and other such endeavors. But I'm guessing I would prefer dipping to dripping if I had an exposed atomizer.

I am not allowed to vote, but I do prefer dripping...

 

[CaSHMeRe]

dripping ... although dipping does intrigue me ...

 

[DC2]

Oh, yeah, and tell us why... if you have the time... and the inclination.

After 6 months of exhastive testing, I have concluded IMO--that it makes no difference in atomizer life and canned the cartridges all together and now drip, but I employ a cleaning method not yet reported as a few other members are still testing to see if we can get any kind of consensus and not just fluke and random experiences----------Sun

sun ... if you are talking about soaking it in cat pittle ... I am NOT with you ... Pretty open to any other cleaning suggestions you have though. Can you shoot me a PM on what you have been trying to see if it would work successfully or not?

And really, isn't dripping really the same as topping off all the time, when you get right down to it?

I am assuming you mean refilling cartridges by the cartridges option?

 

[CaSHMeRe]

not really ...

topping off vapes differently than straight dripping without cart material ... don't have to worry about it puddling up, etc...

 

[socaljay]

Dripping produces the best vapor/throat hit in my experience. I have never dipped, but it sounds fun.

Damnit, that's a good question.

I was having a wonderful time vaping on my pre-filled cartridges.
But just having started refilling today, I am finding less than satisfactory results so far.

I think I might be doing something wrong, which I will figure out eventually.
So I really figured that either method is the same for the purposes of the poll.

And yet, perhaps I was wrong once again.
I hate it when that happens.

I think the only difference is taht you can control the amount as well as the quality of the juice by refilling. Plus you know to an extent exactly what you are filling your cart with

I drip on my rn4081 atty since it's exposed. I've attempted it on my 510, but it's certainly not worth the hassle w/ the recessed atty. So i've resorted to lightly topping my carts on the 510.

 

[openthewell]

I drip with my m401, and I use carts with my nebula (for obvious reasons, lol).

P.S. is there really any advantage to dipping over dripping?

woops, that was supposed to be an edit to my above post, not a quote... damn!

 

[happily]

how bout dripping and topping .............just a longer lasting drip

 

[CZEdwards]

The 401 is best for dipping and I like the throat hit, but I only seem to get 3 or 4 drags off it per dip, and that amounts to a lot of liquid fast if I'm not careful.

The Blu and the VX2 are cartridge only. Softer throat hit, but none of the fuss of dipping.

It's always a tradeoff.

Not really. I reckon it's easier to do if you're sitting about at home.

I do both, depending on the circumstances. I'm not sure if it's possible with non M401 atomisers.
