Drip shields?

[DantesInferno]

I had my order all placed for one of these from Empiremods until this occurred to me, please correct me if I'm wrong.....sure the drip shield looks nice BUT that liquids just collecting under the shield and you're gonna have to clean it up sometime. Right? So is it really that useful? I'm pretty used to having a tissue handy when I'm dripping. I use Cisco 306 attys. Really doesn't leak that bad. Maybe there's better 306's out there that don't leak at all?
I have a provari on the way so I may get one just "for looks". In that case their site is a bit confusing as far as adapters go...I drip on 306's. So I get that the XL tip is needed. Then I believe on a provari I'll need the 510-510 adapter. But what about the other adapters. Site says something about a 510-901 adapter as well??? I don't plan on using any 901 atomizers??

instead of a drip shield, if you use 306 atties, you might want to look into a DCA 306, same idea but made specifically for a 306 atty.

Look it up here: GoodSense Vapor - 306DCA

They pretty hard to get, but you can also find them in the classifieds on this site

Keep on vaping

I just finished placing my order for my first couple 306 Cisco spec attys from AV. Why do I need a 510 to 510 adapter?

You don't. They have the standard 510 adapter. For Empiremods drip shield + a provari I believe they suggest u add a 510-510 adapter to just bring up the 510 connection since its recessed in a bit.

The juice will collect in the shield. However if u have ever used a tank u know how giving a slight pull w no power helps sometimes. Same concept. It will pull the juice back into the atty. I wasn't a believer until I tried it. Works great. Especially if u like to switch juices a lot hence the atty use...

i use my drip shield with a bolt and an hh357. i have the sealed 510 to 510 which prevents juice flow out the mod connection and also puts the connection between the atty and adapter inside the drip shield gaskets and works great, no leaks.
however, w/o that adapter i would still have juice flow from the mod connection which would b below the drip shield gasket, defeating the purpose. this may differ with different mods and connections but im glad i got the adapter

I use a drip shield on anything I'm dripping on as well as a sealed adapter. Lets me overdrip and suck the juice back up into the atty and have no mess.

I love my drip shield. Primarily because I don't want to have to carry tissue ALL the time. They have them pretty cheap everywhere, at about 5-7.00. It's nice to have in the collection

Thanks all. I'll probably go ahead and get one of Empiremods. They seem reputable. Definitely will get the 306 DCA but who knows how long before they're back in stock. I'm not very patient and sitting on a waiting list is not going to thrill me much.

Just to add back in here. I went ahead and got an Empiremods drip shield. Kinda liking it actually. Seems to work as advertised. Here it is on my new provari.

do they seal over the the tape coating of a 510 carto? or do you have to peal the tape n glue off?

 

[candimccann]

You can slide one over a carto, but then it would be purely for looks.

It is meant to retain leakage when dripping into an atomizer. It also serves as a bit of a reservoir to hold overdrippage, suck a bit and it will pull some juice back into the atty. So instead of 3 drops, you can drip 10 and the excess flows into the shield. A quick suck when you start to run dry will wet your atty again.

Ya they have o rings on the inside to seal it.

If anyone's interested good sense has the 306 DCA's back in stock. Short supply.

Thank you! And forgive my lack of knowledge on where to put what.
