Dripping extend the useage of your ejuices?

[Borescoped]

Ok, probably rehashed for the 50 billionth time by my posting this.... but is it just me, or does it seem like dripping atty's and rda's seem to give you more mileage with your juices? Meaning, they seem to last longer. Got some 5ml samples from epipemods, and they seem to be never ending when I use them in my mini rda. I slap some juice in my RSST... and it's gone in a day, poof! Is this just my perception?

Naw man I believe it. Dripping appears to last longer and hits the spot differently. IMO best way to vape, catch is that it isn't the most practical in all cases like a long drive or when trying to be discreet.

 

[Borescoped]

With the mini RDA it helps on the discreet part, but yes, the driving part is a problem. Guess the REOs crowd has that part right.

Just seems like I can't kill off these baby 5ml bottles!

Well, the delivery device differences matter more. Some just vaporize juice faster. Settings on VV/VW matter too.

That said, dripping can be near zero waste.

Drippings pretty sweet.

 

[Alyssasmama]

Yup. You def gets your money's worth out of dripping...to the very last drop

What causes waste in other delivery methods?

got an igo-l on the way, looking forward to really tasting my juice.

From a logical standpoint it seems to me that the amount of juice you use is directly proportional to how much vapor you produce.

I have a very hard time understanding how dripping could use less juice unless it is producing less vapor.
And we know that isn't true.


So posts about using less juice by dripping always throw me for a loop.
If it's true, and there is an explanation for it, I'd love to hear it too.

Filler mostly. Wicks, not so much or not much more than with that RDA you've got on order. Also, juice kind of ....collects and colors and gunks in a carto even. So if you're at the last little bit and the coil breaks, you may just toss the whole thing.

But with dripping, it's a few drops at a time.

Anyway, that's the basic idea. Most waste is from dead cartos, spilled tanks, etc.

Best guesses, and general idea I was driving for.

DC2,

IDK if you meant my post, but my point wasn't less juice, it was less waste.

I definitely get the less waste part, for the reasons you mention.
Add to that when you clean out a delivery device before you have used all the juice.

But assuming zero waste, I do think a lot of people feel they are still using less juice by dripping.
And that's what I'm trying to understand.

 

[AttyPops]

They probably aren't. lol. So I agree.

Depends on device. But....I'm dripping the hell out of this RDA right now, and I KNOW I'm going through juice faster. And producing bigger clouds.

So that's device specific, I guess. I don't think we can make a generalization, only compare specific delivery devices. Particularly these days.

However, when I used cartos, I wasted more than when I used atomizers and dripped. However, I admit I'm not a carto fan so I didn't use them much, thus not very well.

Agreed. My perception is that I use more juice with my Reo than other devices. Anecdotal I know, and yet I can go through two 6ml bottles in a day easy.

It could be argued that someone dripping waits longer between vapes and would save juice that way but I don't know of any evidence to back that up.

It could also be argued that the juice remaining in the filler of a cartomizer or carto-tank is wasted but if one were to use those devices as long as possible without changing them out then very little would be actually wasted.

That said, how much juice do I waste rewicking with cotton every few days? How much would I save using only silica wicks?

Without hard data it's a difficult question to answer correctly.

It's my perception that it takes longer to go through the ejuice in my RDA as opposed to my RBA though.

You folks could be right about taking time between vapes though, and that being the reason my juice seems to last longer.

Definitely. My RBAs go through juice like I'm drinking it through a straw. RDAs are much more efficient in that respect.

 

[run23]

interesting. i've had this very thought many times. 30mls lasts me a month and i drip exclusively. flip side to that is that i'm not a heavy vaper. it's been awhile since i've used anything else, but overall it must be the fact that you can't just continuously vape. that's a good thing in my case. i've been looking into bottom feeders so it looks like my juice consumption is about to go up!

when I started my friends said get a good carto tank for the best vaping- so I did and vaped all day and night and went through juice like it was free. got an rda and everything tastes better and juice lasts much longer. I think it is the pace of dripping and it also satisfies a lot better than other methods. a few good draws from my rda just FEELS right. cartos, clearos, and anything else never gives the same complete satisfaction , so, in turn, I don't have to do it as much. yes, you can actually put it down for awhile and not feel lost. never could with anything else.....

I think you benefit more from the RDA's nicotine delivery than that of a tank. I can drip, take a few hits, and my craving is satisfied. If I use my Protank, I have to hit it much more to get the same satisfaction.
