I don't really like drippers. I do think they are far more leakproof than RTAs, most likely. I just HATE that wide bore driptip that's needed for dripping, and though the taste and whatnot is great, for me it's kinda a hassle. I do have some RTAs that I like so far, but I still use drop in tanks for out of the house, as I don't want to take something that may leak or need rewicking along the way. Maybe one day I will be brave enough, but that day is not yet here....

I generally took the entire topcap off when dripping. And in my case, I prefer fixed airflow, which sometimes came with perks as with the Petri rda, which had a two piece top cap for easy access.

Just something to be aware of. I've never had an issue dripping into the drip tip hole, but I always take advantage of a cap like the one above when available.

Personally I can't tell any flavor difference between my SMOK VTF4 and the few drippers that I borrowed and tried from friends. Then again I think it may depend on the specific flavor you are vaping. I only vape a DIY cool wintergreen juice and it seems the same no matter what I vape it out of, be it clearo, RTA, RDA, etc. Vapor production varies between the tops but flavor seems constant for me.

I mostly like the no leaking aspect of it. When I'm hanging out at home it's my favorite to use. When I'm gonna go on a long drive I take my TFV4. I have gone through juice faster since I started using it regularly. Also in my personal opinion I get better flavour and cloud. I love it. I wanna just buy a bunch of em.

I just love them all. Have some wonderful tanks that chuck out the flavor as well as RDA's. Now I will say this. I have to be in the right frame of mind to drip. I always over drip and it's easy to get frustrated with dripping often. Squonking, now that's another story. Love to squonk on a good TC mod. No nasty flavor. Just squeeze when the fog starts getting light. I usually have squonkers and tanks going in rotation side by side.

    I've never seen anyone actually drip through the drip tip. Most take off the whole cap (or use a Mad Hatter). I remove the tip and drip through the hole, my drip tip's so restricted it needs excess juice removal at the same time (sit it on a paper towel). I use a mighty 16.3 watts in TC.

    I drip constantly changing flavors usually, the crossing flavors and constant manual flavor adjustment cannot be beat.

    I hate dripping (yes, "hate" is a right word).
    Tanks are so much more convenient... No comparison at all.

    I can't quite go as far as true "hate", but tanks are way more convenient for me as well. Maybe the only time I can see using an RDA would be on a squonk mod. I haven't used an RDA in a very long time.

    For me it's not flavor, because the rta's I have seemed equal to all the drippers and squonker's I tried. It's not convenience either because a lot of rda's hold a bunch of juice and obviously squonkers too, but for me, it was about the intensity of the TH....I find there is heat with rda's but I find the TH to be saturated compared to small chambered, small chimney rtas...there is no chimney in an rda and I find it weak in that respect...

    I have 1 RDTA that I despise. Perhaps my fault but I can't wick it right to save my life. Leaks, inconsistent, just not a fan. Tall as a skyscraper and uncomfortable in my pocket.

    Last week I ventured into RDAs. I have little problem wicking when I take my time and I find the flavor to be far better than any tank I have.

    My vaping experience isn't near others here, but I think I found where I need to be with RDAs.

    Now have a sqonk ordered. Another RDA ordered, and looking forward to them both finally getting here. Have a feeling going to be a long wait.

    Tanks are great, nothing wrong at all with them. For me I just got tired of the drop in coils.

    Always RDA's. I drip through the cap or squonk. I mostly prefer wide bore so that makes it easy. And drip and drive is simple as long as you are willing to toss everything if needed. If I want more TH I just fire a second early.

    It is what got me off smokes and I stick with what worked for me. Hey, over 3 years no smoking this week! Time for some new vape gear.

    Do I really have to send you a Youtube? :evil:

    Wide bore drip tips are great for dripping. Skinny 510 drip tips.. no. I use a Royal Hunter and Royal Hunter Minis, both come with wide bore drip tips. If I had to pull the top each drip I'd probably be back with leaky tanks :evil::evil:

    Congrats man! I past my 3 year mark the end of July. I feel like this is really permanent now. I hope you feel the same. Drip on! (or whatever makes it work)
