Dripping learning curve..

[GrimmTech]

Been dripping on and off for less than a week now. I still either cant seem to get it right or just don't trust myself yet. First off I was flooding this thing like crazy. I figured out more than two drops overflows. Its a smoktek bridgeless. Now I never flood but when I know its the last good vape and I should drip two more drops, I hit it again lol. This atty has a small silica wick just in the atty. I get that burnt wick taste. I hit it right about once every 4 fillups. Do you get better and trust yourself more over time? Also have a joye bridged atty that seems to work okay but the draw is horrible. I have to suck harder than an analog. Been using my ZAP and these two are on opposite ends of the world. I guess I just want to fuss a little bit. Does it get better?

Eventually dripping becomes second nature. You learn to know your atties and devices. You kinda just FEEL when it's time to drip right before flavor goes away or you get a burned hit. Not only that but you can FEEL how much to add. I often don't even realize when I'm dripping, I just do it.

I definitely suggest a drip shield too, it really helps and they often look pretty darn cool.

Agree totally what was said here. It does get easier, give it time and it becomes second nature. Also, Love drip shields for ease of use and the look. I also suggest spending a couple extra bucks for "premium" atties from Avidvaper (Cisco spec), Ikenvape, and EmpireMods. There are lots of adjustments and fixes to be learned for a consistant vaping experience, but patients and persistence pays off.

I love dripping but I really like the 306 over the 510. The cannon style drip tips have a huge dripping hole and I think you get a bit more notice that you are starting to get dry with a bridged 306. The bridge material holds juice too and it allows a more gradual flavor fall off before the dreaded dry hit. When flavor falls off add three more drops.

It may seem odd, but when dripping I find sound the most important component. I drip, then do a cold draw and listen for a slight gurgle. If I don't hear one, I add a couple more drops. If I do hear one, I take a slow shallow draw to test, then I'm good to go. I vape until I hear a slight hiss at the end of a draw (which is usually about the time the flavor of the juice changes) at which time I add more drops YMMV. I use a LR 306 with a Cannon drip tip.
