PLEASE - I GOTS TO KOW !!! when someone like me is concerned about time (with e-cigs) how is dripping a way to go through your day? Trust me I remember (back - in the day) having to light up a lighter to get my smoke lighted. But truly - are you "drippers" telling me its nothing more than that ? I fiill my cartos in the morning (good to go all day) please explain to me when you are "out and about" all day how dripping is a good alternatives to Cartos ? If you tell me the taste is what matters then I am sorry but dealing with my day - stopping and "topping off" - for a few hits just doesnt work for me. Come on people ? - Am I wrong on this but do the people who love "dripping" just maybe have some extra time on their hands to enjoy the pleasure (or have changed their Lifestyle to compensate for it) of "dripping" throughout the day? I wish it was as simple for me ?

I only drip when I'm home and can sit and have an array of bottles and stuff on my desk. I have three jobs, the most time consuming one I do mostly from home, so I can usually drip while I work on that one. I also travel quite a bit with that one, but that's another issue. When I go out (The other two jobs, shopping, etc.) I use cartomizers. I'd prefer to always drip, but it's not always convenient to do so.

I prefer to drip for a couple of reasons. I like the taste better with dripping. I like to switch flavors often and don't really want to try to keep track of which cartridge or cartomizer is which flavor. When I first started I was trying to do that and had a series of dots in nail polish on my cartridges to indicate flavors. That very quickly become confusing and frustrating.

I'm hoping the pump Quasi linked to will make it so I can drip and drive without feeling like I'm endangering everyone by doing so.

Honestly, dripping is a technique that you quickly master, it takes seconds to do, and I can do it while walking, while driving, but it is a technique. You have to open the bottle, hold the lid and bottle in one hand, drip, put the cap back on, then puff. I have to stop for a second while walking. When I drive, I can do it on a straightaway or at a red light. But it takes effort, so it's not something you can do in a carefree sort of way.

The big tradeoff for this effort is that if you get used to dripping, you give up having to work with refilling and cleaning carts and cartomizers, better taste, less wasted drops, no more flooding the atty, etc... life becomes a simple, daily routine.

Here's my day.

Dripping's not for everyone, but it's doable :D

Grabbing a 3ml bottle out of your pocket and dripping 3 or 4 drops and putting it back takes maybe twice as long as pulling a lighter out of your pocket and lighting a cig and putting it back. Not a big hassle in my book.

The thing that doesn't make any sense to me is people who claim to be to busy to drip yet how much time do they spend cleaning and filling cartridges or cartomizers?

Sorry Guys,
But having tried most every cart mod, and cartos and dripping, and now with a pumper, I can't imagine ever going back. They just work, no hassles. Driving or working, one quick pump, and your good for 6 or 7 good vapes. No cleaning, no dripping, no spinning, no syringes, just 6ml of liquid.

I can now leave the house with out a tackle box of supplies, just a spare Atty at the most. Yes, they are not svelte, but then again, neither am I anymore :p. The only 'pumper' I've tried is the REO, and, for now, for me, that's working great. I know there are others, but from personal experience, this is the one I can recommend.

OK - I see your point. At home - no big deal. But being out and about just seems like a major inconvenience to me? So do you "drippers" top off while driving? I would rather you do that by pulling off the road and getting it done. It's really not a good idea to distract ones self (for any reason) while driving. Hence the reason Cartos are my choice.

Now at home - I can see me doing that. It just doesn't sound like a responsible thing to do (especially when one is driving) to get into that habbit. (unless you pull over each time).

In the case of some people I would have to agree because there are some people who just cant do two things at once.

But can you honestly tell me you've never changed the radio station or answered the phone or eaten or drank anything while driving?

With a T-tip and a 3 ml bottle I can drip with one hand and never take my eyes off the road. ;)

Here and back
Meaning - We all live busy lives, you just seem so obsessed with the seconds it would take to drip. I thought perhaps you had your hands literally full all day with bowling pins trying to keep them all up in the air at once (hence - juggling) and couldn't possibly think about the few seconds it would take to drip. However do you find the time to get an e-cig all the way up from your pocket to your mouth?
