I have done some searching to find opinions of dripping the juice versus using cartos and tanks. I have never dripped before and currently one use the two systems above.

My question is, Is dripping really all that and a bowl of grits, or what?

How does it affect taste, consumption of juice, etc.

Is it really the way to go whilst lounging about (seems difficult while driving)

Do tell.

I drip at home the majority of the time, I think it provides the best flavor out of your juice as well as great vapor. Just like anything else tho cheap devices get cheap results, buy a decent atty rather than the cheapest you can find. The HH357 or Ikenvape Cannon series are very good atty's.

Dripping definitely has the best flavor and also cuts down on juice consumption. I dripped for awhile and got sick of atomizers. I sacrificed a bit of flavor for the convenience and consistency of cartomizers, which I am able to throw away and not feel the need to clean, and I haven't looked back. I do keep telling myself to pick up a few good atomizers for occasional use, but I never get around to it. I always recommend dripping for sampling flavors, but to be honest, I just throw everything in a carto. Worst case scenario I add a bunch of menthol and can't taste anything else anymore. I'm an uncomplicated vaper. Just give me my nic.

In my opinion it is not all that. I drip every now and then only if I have a flavor I want to vape on and do not feel like using a carto and a tank for it at the time. It usually ends up messy, if you aren't careful you will get a dry hit and its disgusting. The slight difference in taste really to me isn't worth it. I tend to like cartos better at least for me it gives more of a TH than my attys do just dripping. Just my .2 but that's how I feel. Also I think people over sell the crap out of atty's like its the bees knees of vaping when really its not much different.

dripping is the best for flavours, i couldn't handle taking a few puffs and then drip again, so i stayed away from those and used cartos / tanks, etc. Recently i have noticed a large amount of drippers on the market, like the eternity by vision, venus (knock-off of the enternity i think) and tons of custom drippers from some talented modders. The difference with these is that they take more liquids, some as much as 1ml. Since using some of them, i really haven't looked back, no carto / tank system on the market can compare.

So if you have a couple of bucks you would like invest, i would really suggest you get a dripper that can hold enough liquid.

Just so you understand, im not into building atties or dealing with mesh, wicks, ohms, etc, etc
all i want is a good taste when i vape and easy to change atomizer parts :)

Even though other devices may be getting close to the flavor of dripping, they still don't work as my main go to since I change flavors often and keep many flavors on hand. Dripping for me is actually the least fiddly option, I barely notice I do it. I use cartos on the go, but most of my vaping is at home dripping. It's like going from headphones to a hi-fi for me, the headphones are more convenient on the go and I still enjoy the music, but getting home to the hi-fi brings out all the notes and tones for a better experience. I don't find dripping to be a hassle, but neither did I find lighting a cigarette or flicking the ashes.

For me, dripping is easily the best in terms of flavor. If I'm in my living room, dripping is my first choice. In most other situations, it's too inconvenient. If I'm not in my living room then it's usually a carto/tank. I'll use clearomizers for NETs. I'm really looking forward to trying the Killer atomizer that can be placed in a tank. It should deliver the full flavor of dripping and the convenience of a tank. I hope, hope, hope it works as advertised.
