Dripping!?

[Dwardek]

I'll throw it out to start I am a noob but diving head first into vaping. I spend around 4-5 hours cumulative thought my days on ecf etc researching and learning as much as possible.

That being said I have heard a ton about dripping. I have searched for a while this morning and can't find much info. Can someone please help with either a link/video of the basics of it, how to do it and what a good starter setup to begin would be!?!?

I'm using ego c batts, no vv...yet ;-)

Ty in advance!

Dripping is when you directly drip your juice on a atty, 3to5 drops at a time. The flavor is great but to much trouble for me so i use cart tanks.

I learned about dripping from this old video from Doctor Vapor.

How to Drip a 510 Atomizer - YouTube

I'm a noob here too, but from what I gather, the biggest advantage to dripping is taste testing new juices. I'm sure there are some who drip exclusively though.

"how to drip a 510 atomizer" on youtube. thats the one

 

[Dwardek]

Cool thanks for the quick replies. I'm excited to check out the video on my lunch.

The main thing with learning to drip is don't get upset and quit when you flood an atty, get dry hits, and maybe even pop an atty or two. We have all been there, but once you get proficient at dripping it is oh so worth it.

Also get one of these to use with your eGo battery and atomizer. They keep it from getting so messy.

I drip exclusively and put up with the leaks (over drip) because the flavor is far and away superior to carts, cartos, tanks, RBAs and the like. Drippin' and drivin' is not recommended but I can't seem to help myself.

LOL! Don't drip and drive!

Very cool guys I'm going to jump into dripping once my vivi nova minis get here and I have some available funds.

Dripping and driving sounds like a fun challenge lol.

try a 306 Atty a XL 306 driptip and a Ego Dripshield really works

I have a lot of flavors that I like to use but not enough to fill a tank with so I will drip at home with those. With most atomizers(attys) once they are vaped dry that flavor is gone and you can switch flavors with little to no old flavor left which is great for trying new flavors. I use rebuildable attys but 306s are great and usually perform better that standard 510 atty. Also i would like to point out 306 attys use a 510 connection so there arent any adaptors required. I was confused about that when they first came out so I figured I would throw that in there.

The only time I drip is to test new flavors. I tried to stick with it but to big a pain in the ..... And as for driving I might as well be reading the newspaper. Sorry to offend but reality sucks. Pay attention when you drive, Yours not the only one on the road!!!!!!!!!!!! I've worked way to many wrecks from people on the cell phone or texting. Just my opinion.

I haven't decided on a drip setup yet, but am looking at one for the 801 (volt batteries) thread to test steep completion.

 

[MrGypsy]

Have any of you tried needle bottles out? Makes dripping a lot easier.

Try a bottom feeder. Old goat makes a dirt cheap bottom feeder mod. It will require a 14500 battery.

I went from an eGo with Mega Dual Coil cartomizers to a vmod 2.0 and reo 18490 bottome feeders. If I have the choice, I'll take drip devices over a cart any day of the year.

I like dripping...the basics are: put a few drops on the atty, give it a few seconds to soak in, and get about 3 or 4 (or more) vapes. Repeat. The flavors are sometimes subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) different this way.
I don't need to devote a tank/carto/whatever to a single flavor. Sure, 'waffle' is tasty, but I'm not sure I could handle more than 15 minutes of it at a time. I'll do a few drops of 'waffle', then a few 'vanilla', then some 'coffee' to complete my waffle sundae dessert, then over to some tobacco flavor. (got a lot of mileage out of the dud flavors in my sampler this way)

But sometimes it felt a bit tedious, especially when having to clean the atty after switching certain flavors. Being a tinkerer, I tried a rebuildable atomizer (Phoenix clone), and then tried it with a SS mesh wick. Now I can drip up to 10 drops (1/2 ml) at a time, and it cleans out real easily, so I'm not still tasting the strawberries and cream when I switch to espresso.

Everyone who likes dripping has their own favorite gear: 306s, 510s, 801s, bottom feeders, rebuildables (with cotton or SS wicks) are the ones that come to mind. Pick something close to what you already have, like a basic 510 atty, and give it a try. You might like it. You might not like it. Then you find the quirks about it: one drop too little/one vape too many, and get a hot/dry hit. One drop too many, and flood your atty. You may find this too bothersome. You may find it well worth the effort.

I'm so glad you asked this! I'm expecting my first ejuice sampler tomorrow & how to sample by dripping was one of the things I wanted to find out. Thanks for all of the great info.

Dripping is cheaper.

 

[PEneoark]

I use an i06 for dripping now. That thing is a damn workhorse.
