drip tip and air flow question

[Codrut Popescu]

I am using Boge 3.0 Ohm on my Buzz Pro with an M1A1 tank and a drip tip which I have received with my Boges. I do have the following problem: the air flow. In the beginning I have thought that the cartomizer is too tight on the Buzz Pro. Here are some pictures with the slotted screw head on the BP and how much I tighten the cartomizer on the BP:









and here are the pictures of the drip tip and how much I am inserting it in the cartomizer top:





If am inserting more the cartomizer than I cannot get air flow. So my question is: is it normal that air comes into the cartomizer from the top? It was my impression that the air should enter into the cartomizer from the bottom. But it does not look like it. Please advise.

Thanks

It appears the problem is with the tip. Do you have a different drip tip style to try? The black one shown in the photo has a very little hole to draw from.

Air supply is from atomizer connection, try slackening off atomizer slightly may help, could be the atomizer it's self try removed from unit to see if it draws easy

I have only two drip tips





both which I have received with my orders from Notcigs, I did not ordered them I think they where a bonus.

No, if I remove the cartomizer completely from the BP and if the drip tip is inserted too much in the cartomizer I cannot get air flow. I am using Virgin Vapor 100% VG, but this does not look thick. I don't believe it's the liquid as the cartomizer is supposed to have the middle tube for air flow. If I remove the cartomizer and the drip tip I can see the light passing through the tube. So the only variable left is the drip tip. Why if I insert the drip tip too much I cannot get air flow? This happens with the carto removed completely from BP so it's not the BP.

Try another cartomizer, or cut a few ml off your drip tip, it looks a bit too long to me and maybe squashing your atomizer filling

nice pics by the way

Most likely the drip tip is going far enough into the carto to make contact with the filler and deforming the filler enough to block the airway.

Either cut off some of the drip tip that goes into the carto, or the type that has an o-ring and shorter shank.

 

[Codrut Popescu]

Thank You. I will try to shorten the drip tip and I will buy new ones as soon as I either get to my local supplier or place the next order online.

Best Regards

BTW, is that filling necessary inside the drip tip?

The filling is not needed

 

[sadtranz]

No, i think we have found the problem what you are using are not drip tips but atomizer mouth pieces, remove filler cut a few ml off they will work for now till you buy some proper tips

ya, that is an atomizer cartridge if it has filler in it.
I like the metal 510 drip tips, they have far more airflow than any cartomizer can give, and are guaranteed to not be a limiting factor.

They are correct, there is no filler material in a drip tip. Get yourself one and you will see a big difference.

I don't think notcigs sells any. I get mine form madvapes.com

Here is there full lineup
Dripper Tips

I use these, and they probably have one that matches your Buzz color
Anodized Dripper Tip

I don't like the delrin, rubber, or plastic ones. The vapor condenses on it, and ends up in your mouth after a couple draws. I have never used acrylic.
the metal seems to let the condensation run right back into the carto and stays out of my mouth.

I use the anodized too ark, and love them!

 

[Codrut Popescu]

Thanks all. That was the problem. This community is so wonderful

Ok dumb question is that a drip tip or a cartridge that pulls apart has filler in it and a tiny hole on the tank side ? If its a cartridge I would pull out the filler and ream the hole out larger if its what I think it is.

 

[Bovinia]

Glad to hear your problem is solved Codrut! Great job everyone

Beautiful pics too! Can you buy vaping supplies locally in Bucharest? If so it would probably save you a lot on shipping! Your Boges need a 510 drip tip.

I don't know what it is, it looks like drip tip, you can see the pictures in my above posts and here you can see the side with the sponge inside:

I buy most of my juice from Madvapes, so I end up spending about $50/month there anyways, usually order 4x 50ml bottles a month or so, so a couple bucks on tips is not a big deal. they also have a huge selection of atomizers and cartos too.

If you like fiddling with the tip in your mouth, get a softer material like the acrylic or delrin, one of my buddy chews up a tip a week or so. I don't let the tip touch my teeth, so anodized is ideal for me.
