Dripping

[juicejunky]

Dripping makes it easier to change flavors, you don't need to fill an entire cartomizer. You can sample flavors and change every few drops if you want.

What I like most about it is the flavor comes entirely from the vapor rather than getting a bit of ejuice filtered through polyester fill in your mouth. I use my KR-808D1 carts in the car and when I am out and the flavor sure beats the eGo tanks, but nothing better than dripping while on the computer at home.

If you want to give it a try, take all the filler out of an 808 cartomizer, attach it to a manual battery, and drip a few drops into it. You'll only get a hit or two and it may leak a bit, but you'll get a sense of the pure vapor flavor from dripping. It brings out the best in good juices.

Next up if you like it get a 901/510 adapter (.95 at Good Prophet) and a few 510/eGo atomizers and try it on your 808 batteries. If you have a 5V PT definitely don't get a LR atomizer, too much power. Regular 510/ego attys work well on it. I think it's worth doing at the very least to sample. As you are waiting for them to steep, you can try a few drops every few days without using 25 drops loading a cartomizer.

Dripping adds to the variety of ways you can enjoy vaping.

Juicejunky, remember I'm comparing to using pre-filled cartos (each flavour has its own carto), but, I do like your answer -- "Dripping adds to the variety of ways you can enjoy vaping.". Well said. Okay, fine, I will order some juice and drip tips next time I try. I'll also get some Bloog empty cartomizers -- will be interesting to see how much better V4L's juices will be with decent cartomizers . Thank you for explaining.

Are you ordering from the US for shipment to Thailand? Wow that must be expensive. V4L had some special for free overseas shipping this week, but I think it has already expired. V4L blank CoolCarts are pretty decent on a 5V USB passthru. They are made by Boge. I have been tempted to try the Bloog cartos, please report back or PM me when you try them. I'd like to hear what you think of them. I ordered too many blanks in past sales to justify another purchase at this point, but their new design sounds interesting.

I don't think V4L juices are the best or considered consistent, although I haven't tried them except in their prefilleds when I first started vaping. So, so many excellent made to order ejuice vendors here in the states, but not sure they ship to Thailand. At least they would arrived steeped if they did. Any ejuice vendors in Thailand? I bet you'll be making them yourself before long.

I have Bloog Red and Kamel pre-filled cartomizers -- they're the most consistent and reliable ones I've found to date. Some of V2s (the hard cap ones) are as good, but some of V2s (soft rubber cap) are more like V4L's.

Bloog's marketing says that their cartomizers don't need to be primed -- you get good vapor from the first puff. It seems impossible (I don't know how the heck they've done it) but I actually agree, they really are excellent. I haven't tried their other flavours yet but will soon.

I have several pre-filled coolcarts -- they're OK, but no match for Bloog or a good V2 .

I haven't ordered directly to Thailand yet, I ordered all my current supplies when I was in the states a few weeks ago. I have ordered more supplies though, from multiple vendors, and because of that, I used their cheap shipping options to a company I work with in the states, and have them send it along to me . If I ever order from a single company in a hurry, I might try direct shipping though.

I don't know of ANY e-juice or e-cig vendors in Thailand yet -- it's brand new. I hope it will come soon, because it would be so much cheaper if someone ordered directly from china and resold it here, and I have several Thai friends who cannot afford ordering from the states, but would like to vape instead of smoke cigarettes.

Tobacco cigarettes are $1 - $3 per pack here depending on brand.. Pretty much the same price as a single cartomizer. For the severely cash strapped you can also buy bags of tobacco directly from the people who grow it -- for pennies! Different world.
