Dripping???

[mrmack00]

I'm a newbie, obviously, and was wondering what exactly is dripping... I thought that was just a term for anybody who uses their own cartomizers/cartridges and juice.... Is it a specific method or something?

Second, I'm told using my own juice/cartomizer with an automatic battery is dangerous because I can mess up the auto sensor... Is there anyway around it?

Thanks all!!!!

Hi Mrmack
Noob myself, but do use dripping. Dripping is a battery, an atomizer and a small funneled mouthpiece tip that allows drops of E-juice to be dripped onto the atomizer element. You drip about three drops down in there and vape til the flavor/vapor drops off, then drip again. This produces the most flavor/vapor for me. The drawback is that it's work, often leaks out of the atomizer on your clothes, and is no good on the go. Don't drip and drive!

Question two is beyond me, but from reading alot around here, you need to avoid low resistance attys/carts on small batteries. Don't know how your own properly mixed juice would hurt anything. I'll quit here for an old timer to reply. Happy vaping!

Dripping is simply dripping juice directly onto the atomizer instead of having some kind of device to hold the juice (cart, carto, tank, etc.)

Automatic batteries are not sealed like manual batteries are, meaning juice can get into them and kill the battery. This is why it's advised against. Nothing you can do except be careful not to overfill.

Automatic batteries are either activated by air flow or sound. Take your automatic battery that's activated by sound to a concert, and it will die from the noise. Take your automatic battery that's activated by airflow out on a windy day and it will die on you. This is why manual batteries are generally preferred by most.

Direct Dripping with an automatic battery can cause issues because the automatic battery is not sealed and the juice can get down into the battery.
BTW - direct dripping is where you drip eliquid onto the atomizer.

So using the condom method ( I think that's what it's called), the taryn spin or removing the soft cap and adding liquid to the filler is safer for an automatic? I think I'll save dripping for another time....
Btw I'm Using a kr808d-1...

Thanks again!!!!

You should be fine filling a cartomizer using that method. Just make sure that nothing is leaking from the threaded end before you put it on the battery.

However you fill cartos, sometimes one will leak. There really is no way around that. I prefer to not force extra juice into the carto by spinning, not fill them blind with a carto condom. I like to see inside, know the central air channel is clear (I use cartos with defined central air channel like Boge and Vapor4Life), clean up any loose juice above the stuffing. But occasionally one will leak.

What you could do is buy a spare battery.

BTW - dripping requires an atomizer. KR808D-1 can use DSE901 standard resistance (not LR!) atomizer w/ no adapter

I've dripped with cartos before. I mainly did it when I was trying a new carto and didn't want to waste a lot of juice if I didn't like it. It works fine, but it is definitely not the optimal way to drip.
