drip or top off?

[brialeeanna20]

ok i just got my new 801 pin style ( and i love it) My question is ??? What is better to top off carts , drip, or both. I have 2 attys so i set up a trial. 1 atty i only use with carts that i am topping off, the other i am using to drip.

the cart of a 801 seems to go dry on top but alwas seems wet on bottom 1/2. So far i am using A LOT more juice topping off. But if dripping kills attys faster i dont know what is cheaper replaceing attys or using more juice? Can anyone tell me?

Well, I know I didn't have any problems with my automatic switches until I started dripping, that may just be a coincidence, however it seemed within a couple of days dripping all of my switches started to stick either on or off.... (Can't wait for my manual 510)

Personally, I drip but it DOES affect reliability. It is better to top off. Also, if you drip on 801 passthroughs they will die - the liquid gets into the chip that controls the power inside, so don't do it! With some vapes though, you need to drip - particularly the DSE 601.

There's nothing like a good ol fashioned drip. If you keep up with your maitenance and cleanings Bri then you shouldn't be replacing atty's too often.

I do both with my 801.

Dripping with auto batteries is a tricky deal as pointed out above. If you do so, keep a napkin with you at all times and periodically wipe off the bottom of the atomizer and the battery. Juice in that hole will eventually kill the switch in the battery. Don't drip more than two drops on the atomizer bridge until you are comfortable with the number of draws you can take and the amount of wiping/cleaning you need to do. Lastly, try dripping down the side of the barrel. This ......s the flow of juice toward the atomizer and may work better for you. I tend to drip one drop on the atomizer bridge and one or two down the inside of the atomizer barrel.

Depends on the model and the location of the actual wick. If it's further down like 801, I just top off... but if its relatively shallow (4081), with a cart very tiny, then I just dripped mostly.

With SD, even though Trog has capped off the battery hole, so it's drip friendly - but I'm just sticking to topping off these days.

I use the classic penstyle ... when I first started I used carts, it was a bit messy , but okay .... couple weeks ago I decided to try dripping ... what a huge difference ! The taste is much more pronounced (to me), as is the vapor production, throat hit is near perfect ... and NO mess !! 3 - 4 drops works best for me .. but like someone said, if you notice liquid on the outside .. wipe off the batt end and atty end ... and next time .. go with fewer drops oh .. and in the 2 weeks I've been dripping ... no problems with atty ... I don't see me going back to carts .. at all

I do both. I top up my cart and then drip 1 or 2 drops on my atty. Works for me

Beleive it or not, I have stuck myself, and I'm pretty stable with the hands,{ Guitar Player}. Don't ask how though. Guess I was in a hurry.

What about the DSE103? The bridge sticks way out of the top of the atomizer. One of the reasons I don't use that one so much is the teeny tiny resevoir that's such a pain to top up, but I haven't tried dripping because the bridge is so high.

Does anyone drip successfully with that model?

I find that refilling the cart gives just as good peformance as dripping without the risk of flooding the battery and killing the switch.

The only time I drip is to test new flavors on a clean atomizer. That way I don't waste juice or a clean cartridge.

with that kind of atomizer you are actually better off dipping rather than dripping.

Put a few drops of liquid into a cap from a bottle and dip the atomizer into the liquid. JUST THE WICK of the atomizer should go in the liquid, do not dip it so far the atomizer housing is in liquid, thats to deep.
