Hi, I don't think anyone is ...... off....I thought dripping was something that didn't interest me at first, then about a week ago I heard about the drip tips and thought I would give it a try....you know what? after a year of dealing with carts dripping IS a much simpler way to go. IMO ;)

I'm sure that dripping is better for flavors and/or vape production. For me though I just can't imagine having constantly (stop what I'm doing) to drip throughout the day. Convenience is a major reason I avoid dripping. I guess if I had more free time on my hands I would try it out. Who knows maybe I'll take up the act on rainy weekend days.

K, I understand how you're thinking because that was my thought when I first heard about dripping. Why not just fill a cart (actually a few carts), carry them with me and change when one ran out. I did that for months. Then one day, a rainy weekend day :), I pulled the filler out of one of my dry mouth pieces and dropped three or four drops into my 510 atty, WOW. Better vapor, better flavor.

Now if you chain vape you're going to end up dripping more often than I'm going to talk about. However, I can drip a 510 in a bar (the one place I sometimes take a lot of puffs) and for me that can last for hours. On Saturdays I play poker from 1PM to 7PM at a local watering hole. I usually get there by noon. If I drip when I get there, vape a lot until poker starts and vape on and off for those six hours, I may drip again once before I leave. Usually not.

Is the vapor as prominent at the end as when I first dripped? Of course not, but I'm still happy. Give it a try, what's it going to cost you one mouthpiece and you can put the filler back in if you don't like it. It's been five months and I've not filled a cart since. I've heard about the dripping mouthpieces, but I really haven't found it that inconvenient to just use a stock one. Have fun.

Probably depends on the amount you're vaping. I find it no more inconvenient than taking a cigarette out of the package and taking a lighter out of my pocket lighting it. 2-3 drops seems to be the equivalent of one smoke for me. I may lose about 2 minutes a day from dripping. I usually find better things to do at night and the morning than filling carts when I really see no need.

Have you tried dripping?

Really Durtman, I'm facinated and must be vaping a lot less than the average PV user. Maybe that's why my bottles last so long. I know I cut back considerable from my cigarette habit which was running 2-3 packs a day, but 2-3 drops per cigarette.

Now my age is failing me. Is it 20 drops per ml? At an average of 2.5 drops per cig, that would be 50 cigs a day for me or 125 drops 6.3ml per day, 45ml per week or a bottle and a half per week. Yup, I'm way way off my consumption from my smoking days if my math is right.

If course, some of that would be picked up with the can of Swedish snus I consume per week but just saying.

When I used to drip it was very annoying if I was out in a bar with a drink in one hand e-cig in the other having to constantly put my drink down and fiddle with dripping.

Recently I bought an AFS... and my word... it just works. I no longer have to do anything until the juice runs out. Not only that the flavour is consistent and vivid... and it hits right each and everytime.

Just my $0.02

It's fascinating and a little frustrating for me to see people having very similar conceptual blind spot about dripping that I once had. I've even included pictures. Let me tell you how dripping fits into my busy day:

when I get up, I don't fill carts/cartos. I just stick my modified ePump in my pocket, grab my PV and some extra batts, and go.

The way my ePump is modded, it puts out exactly 2 drops when I press it. You can feel when the nozzle is in the right place without looking. I don't unscrew any cap. I could probably drip with this setup while running or riding a bicycle.

Every 3 or 4 days I unscrew the cap and squeeze another 15 ML inside from my mixing bottle. I do NOT think that dripping is the only way to go, nor is it for everybody. It's just that the constant "Oh, I've never tried it but I know it's too much trouble" comments wear a bit thin, sometimes. If you like filling carts or whatever, fine, more power to you. The reason I drip is to save time and aggravation. Your mileage may vary. :)

Now that is cool...

My birthday is coming up next month so now I finally have an excuse to pick up a Buzz... Thats exactly what I've been looking for.

What voltage do you usually run it at? I know I would probably put it somewhere around 4.5ish

I run around 4.5v on my 510 atomizers, and it's pretty much perfect. I tweak it down or up just a little depending on the juice I am using at the time.

Wow K, are you the paranoid type? :ohmy: I don't think you offended anyone, you're being silly. From what I've read, everyone is just trying to help you understand their thoughts. Try it, you'll like it. :)



rothenbj - No I am not a paranoid type - not even close. But I also know when its time to bow out of a conversation. Obviously no one agreed with anything I had to say on the subject. That's fine - so why continue if all it was doing was causing a "rise" from most. Plus all points had been made so why rehash them.
