Sure, you can tail pipe it (suck directly on the atty) or just use an empty (no filler) cart. Remove the cart, drip 3 to 4 drops directly on the atty, replace empty cart and enjoy. You get a drip tip to avoid having to take the empty cart off each time you drip.

Try it and when you're ready for a drip tip I recommend the stubby delrin from supertmanufacturing.com.

I was able to use a safety pin and pop off the ends of my 510 carts when I first started dripping. As I recall there is
another cap inside that can be removed also(?). Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I also used a very sharp knife and sliced off a little bit of the sleeve part that goes inside the atty so that nothing was close to the heat source, this also makes it easier to remove the cart.

When I started getting lazy and not wanting to take the cart off, I looked inside and noticed that there was some plastic construction inside. Had read that you could still drip around it but I wanted a clear unhindered path, empty tube. I ended up having to firmly hold the cart with a pair of pliers and used a hand drill to gut the tube out.

Now it is a straight shot for the juice to the coil, but the cart got roughed up and is not smooth anymore, not a big deal but a personal preference, I could see where some people wouldn't like it.

I've had two drip tips, a long one with narrow hole that looked like a T-Tip, and a short barrel shaped tip with a wide mouth I got from Goodprophets.com.

I prefer the short wide mouth. I also like the delrin as from past experience (holding tools/flashlights in my mouth while working) I cannot stand my teeth biting on metal.

Same with Mrs Jaaxx,,,,A couple of drops in the cart with filler and also add a couple of drops right in the atty....Of course I use LR attys, so I really need to keep them wet....
But, having practiced this over a few months,,,I am pretty good at it while driving 70-80 MPH on I-75 from Cincy to Dayton every day...LOL>>>Enjoy the Adventure...

I tail piped for quite a while. I finally ordered a d-tip from fredomsmokeusa. 2.95 i think.

Less harsh than the tailpipe. No liquid in my mouth, (the end of it in the atty side stops back up) and oddly enough, since it directs the drops stright to the bridge, no flooding.

Not burnt lips. lol!

Ordering more for different atty's!

Why, oh why did I wait so long??
