Dripping...... Now I Understand

[WillieB69]

After several failed attempts to turn a carto into a dripping atty, I finally got the stuffing out of one without damaging the atomizer. I put in about 15 drops of my home made coffee brew and it just about knocked me out of my chair. I had to dumb it down with some flavorless juice to handle it.

Flavor- Doubled
Vapor- About the same possibly a little more
Throat Hit- Tripled.

The first vape sent me into a coughing fit from the massive throat hit. My wife came running into the room thinking something was wrong and I told her she had to try this. She took a hit and yelled, "my God! Are you trying to choke me???"

After I dumbed it down, it turned into a nice smooth vape and I'm in 7th heaven right now. I think I will have to invest in some regular attys now and take this dripping thing on full time.

Just make sure you keep it wet! I love dripping but am constantly burning my atty's up. So now I'm back to cartos. But dripping rocks!!!

 

[Big Hitter]

Oh yea, welcome to the real world. Might I suggest LR attys if you are 3v with enough mah.

You won't regret it.

Dude... you should try it with a bridgeless atty. That's what really made me understand dripping. It's just... whoa.

I still use cartos more. What can I say, I like to get kicked in the face sometimes. And the CE2's are great (if you manage to get good ones).

But I drip more than I used to, and I don't use carts at all any more.

+1 on this. A wet atty is a happy atty! Drip on. Bridgeless on a LR306 = breakout a lighthouse to find you way through the fog. Enjoy

Wow.... just..... wow.
This is even improving some of the stuff I didn't like before.

I am confused...did you turn take the stuffing out of a cartomizer and drip the fluid into the cartomizer? That's a great idea and I was wondering if it works. I drip with LR atomizers..can't go back to the regular ones now.

 

[King_Calculon]

I'm actually pretty surprised you were able to get this to work. I ripped a cartomizer apart to see how it worked. The heating element did not look like something you could drip onto. If you got it to work, good job man. What kind of cartomizer was it?

 

[Vvenus]

I'm really curious too. What exactly did you do to the cartomizer?

 

[Edwv30]

I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to remove the stuffing from a cartomizer with no luck. The stuffing came out along with the heating element\wire.

For regular Attys The bridge and wick are important for controlling juice flow to the atty. Some people remove it so they can have a fresher flavor every vape but I wouldn't recommend removing it unless you don't mind wasting juice and dripping every other vape. Also you risk damaging a good atty. Try this on old attys you dont want no more.

Dripping is definitely the way to go. In my opinion all kits should come with a drip tip and if you want carts you should purchase them separately. If people would get the carts second to dripping they would probably just throw them away.

I find it easier to do with the empty cartos I got from MyVaporStore.com. The stuffing comes out easier.

 

[Edwv30]

I think we are confusing atomizers, cartomizers and cartos. I always drip in my atomizers by removing the stuffing from my cartos and dripping the juices directly onto the bridge of the atomizer. I thought the OP said that he removed the stuffing from his cartomizer and then dripped into the now empty, (no stuffing), catomizer. I think I misunderstood as there is no way possible, (that I can see), to remove the stuffing from a cartomizer while leaving the heating element intact.

gp sells a cartomizer where the filler is just a flat sheet wraped around the plastic tube. it is very easy to remove. it's called the gp 510 cart

 

[Edwv30]

Can you remove the filler and drip directly into the cartomizer? That actually sounds interesting.

Yes, it works but takes a lot of patience.

510 Blank carto from Liquid Xpress

I'm really curious too. What exactly did you do to the cartomizer?

Took the batting out. (Or whatever it is they use for filler... Looks like cotton batting to me.)

I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to remove the stuffing from a cartomizer with no luck. The stuffing came out along with the heating element\wire.

It takes a LOT of time and patience. I ruined several trying to do this myself. Tonight was the first time i was successful with it.

No, we're not. This was a cartomizer, all in one.

Can you remove the filler and drip directly into the cartomizer? That actually sounds interesting.

Yes, if you have patience. I think it's probably easier to just buy a couple of attys and a drip tip or two, which is what I intend on doing from now on. This was more or less just an experiment to see if I could do it. I really like the results though.

here's another thread that may help others asking about this http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-nf-carto-mod-kr8-atty-510-vertical-atty.html

 

[Edwv30]

This is great! I am thinking this would be similar to a LR atomizer with the longevity of a cartomizer, (not having to drip every few minutes as you are using more juice)? I will admit I don't have a lot of patience but the video showed the user twisting the batting back and forth and then pulling straight out, (something I didn't do...tried to dig it out). Okay...on to cartomizer #2!

This is true. However on some attys all I get is a burnt taste until I remove the wick... only at HV though. 3.7 isn't a problem. The wick in and of itself almost works like a cartridge.

I've had success removig the filler from a carto but they still don't compare to a 901 or 510.

Dripping on an E2 cartomizer is a piece of cake if anyone is interested. Very nice vape for 2.5 ohm.
