Direct dripping question

[vapourking]

I just started direct dripping a couple of days ago on my 510. I take longer draws and it lasts hardly 5-7 drags and I get the off-taste on subsequent draws and have to refill. Is that what should be expected on direct dripping? I guess I'm using lots more liquid than I used to with cart mods like PTB and fluval etc. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, that is completely normal. When you direct drip, all you're doing is wetting your atomizer directly instead of waiting for it to 'wick' from the filter.
But indeed, these 5-7 draws are superb.

That sounds about right to me too.

Since there's no filling to give the atty a constant supply of juice, that's totally expected... That 1 downside to dripping is totally worth it to me. I haven't used a cart since a week after trying my first e-cig

Thats what I do sometimes exspecially when stressed.seems that dripping the vapor is more rich and more saturated with nic and flavor...works better with pg,vg more vapor..

Thanks all for replying! I find dripping more satisftying than using the cart mods like you all, but I wasn't sure I was getting the liquid's worth. Thanks again.

Actually I dont think dripping uses more juice, it requires more filling but when filling carts it takes a lot more juice each time you top off, I also think the stuff in the carts causes juice to be wasted. I think dripping results in a better hit ,flavor, and less waste at the expense of having to drip often a trade off Im will to take.

I agree and glad u liked dripping btw - I think it wastes LESS juice. My fillers alway shad some in leftover weven when I thought they were 'dry'. Of course I flood my attys now n again SO that can waste some juice but as its only a drop or 2, its hardly worth worrying over (always more than 2 drops in what I thought was a 'finished' filler in my cart).
Other than that I think everyone covered it already

How Many Drops Are You Putting Into The Atty's?

About 3 drops.

About 3 drops.

One other thing on the 'off taste' is the atty going dry and dry attys can die. So either redrip when you taste a drop in flavor or stop as soon as you get that off taste. Joye attys with the metal mesh at the base are the best as the mesh and threading in the mesh helps keep everything wet.

Yep!! dats what I'ma talk'n bouts....Me to!

 

[vapourking]

Yep, thats exactly what I do. I redrip the moment I hit the off-taste and its been working pretty good so far.

Sounds about right to me... 4-5 drops and I get about 10-15 puffs. Super T's T-Tips brought my dripping to a whole new enjoyment level.

I just got my 510 the other day and I've been trying my hand at dripping cuz it seems easier than using carts all the time. My problem is that when I switch flavors the old one never seems to go away. Is there a trick to changing flavors? I've heard some people devote an atomizer to each flavor but I only have two right now so until I get more then I wondered if there was and easy way to get rid of the old flavor.

i wish i could drip 3-4 drops, whenever i do more than one, it floods.

Apart from rinsing the atty between flavors, I know of no easy way.

I blow out the atty between flavors, do a dry burn, put 5 or so drops on there (it really needs to get wet again, so 3 drops doesn't work for me). And usually the old flavor is gone.

I've been able to get rid of most flavors by vaping some unflavored or pg/vg on it. Worked wonders back when I was going nuts trying new flavors. Couldn't bring myself to break out a new atty for each flavor. I have my favorite flavor now and it's the only one I use so I don't have that problem anymore. I use 4 to 5 drops and good to go. Lovin the T-Tips too!! When I first started vaping I never thought I would become a dripper. Now I can't see myself ever going back to carts.

aonly 18 days in, and after one cart started dripping and never looked back. Using an SB w/510 atty and a T-Tip and vaping like a monster! I usually drip 2 drops...and as soon as the taste is a bit "off" drip 2 more. Repeat.
