Dripping!

[JamesLeighe]

I'm thinking of getting a dripping setup for home use and testing flavors.

I found this atomizer:
HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

I guess I would need a drip tip as well, but what battery should I get? I was looking at a joye 510-t or something but does that have enough amps draw or whatever? I do want a compact, cigalike, battery if at all possible.

Thanks!

I'm not a pro or veteran, but my guess is if you want to maximize the flavor and quality of vape that an HH357 will provide, you need a decent battery to back it up, not a cigalike or 510/eGo style unless you get a 1300mAh, and that will be larger than maybe what you are looking for. I drip a 510 disposable atty on my VV Spinner (eGo type style battery with a variable voltage capability) and it does fine, but I'm not sure if you got anything below a 1000mAh, your battery would last long. These are about the size of a cigar.

They make 800mAh VV batteries (iTaste VV v3 is out now) and you can use that, I have, but it drains the battery fairly fast. About the size of cigar, but a little smaller, and square in shape.

I will post some pics of battery size comparisons if I can find them so you can see size differences.

This is a vendor's picture of their line of batteries, but it's good to use as an example of different battery sizes.

The top batteries are the cigalike models.

The middle to lower end batteries are the eGo type battery sizes, which vary according to what mAh you buy. They range from 450mAh-1300mAh, and each 100 mAh gives you approximately 1 hour of vaping time.

The bottom image is a box model.

Yeah if it's not possible to use a small battery that's ok, just a preference.

What about the type of atomizer that I linked? I really would like it to hold very little juice so I don't have to waste any when changing flavors. I hear that the one I linked can hold several drops of juice (like 7 or more) and so that's bad right? What would a good atomizer be then?

That's a fantastic first choice for an atomizer. It gets great reviews from users, so you should not have any problems with it or be disappointed - unless a veteran says otherwise lol

The website link to your HH357 Hybrid states: " DO NOT use on 5v or 6v mods or eGo/Riva batteries" so you need a better battery, which will mean larger in size.

If you want an atomizer that is disposable, meaning it will die and need to be replaced with a few weeks, then you can go with a 510 regular resistance or low resistance, or like mentioned below, you can go to a rebuildable RBA/RDA atomizer where you rebuild the coil each time it dies. It's not as hard as it sounds, and there are youtube videos galore that explain how to do it. This is the cheapest way to go over time, and some say will give you the best results too.

So, if you want to stay with a small eGo size battery, you can go with the 510 (which means the thread type) or there are also eGo specific atomizers. What battery do you have now?

the HH357 comes in different resistances... i was heavy into them about a year ago.... 1.5, 2.0, and maybe 3.0 Ohms.

So i guess any decent batt will work for 1.5 or 2.0.

These HH357's aren't exactly for beginners... the flavor and vapor is there, but it takes some getting familiar with them, vs. say a Cisco atty; 510 or 306...
In the day, for what you are looking for, a 306 cisco, 1.5 , 1.8, was/is killer for dripping and testing flavors. You just drip a few drops and vape for a while until its ready to redrip.
IMO key is to not overdrip, whatever atty you choose... its easier to drip another drop than to deal with a flooded atty.

you will need a nice d/t (wide mouth preferable)... for 510, and the 306 is a different style d/t.

you can clean your atty with alcohol, vodka, or just water ... then i dry burned mine when they got gunked up.
carefuly; these are "disposables" after all.

(the good thing about RDA's (cheap or $$) is you can re build them any time, for pennies.)

Honestly, I think the cheaper bridgeless atomizers are just as good. I'm using one of their 3.0 ohm bridgeless, and it's less than half the price. I'd look into a low resistance one. You can use both the cisco spec and hh's for the same reason, but I'm pretty sure the hh series were designed for Cisco's AMP tank.

Edit-misread.. thought you had a small battery. I only recommend itaste 3.0.. I'm over recommending egos. I'm going to get an ego vv2, so if that works out, I may be recommending that too.. no experience with it, yet.

bridgeless are good... i like "hybrid" like the Aero or HH357 on Avid... they give a little more taste... those are a cross between 306 and 510, bridgeles, cost a little more (aero is like $12) but worth it imo.. imo also the Aero is a little more user friendly and consistent than the HH357.

btw HH357 was around over a year before the AMP tank

i prefer LR for more kick... but with these hybrids the LR's are pretty darn smoooth.

An HH.357 is a whole lot of atty if you just want to test juice.

That should be fabulous on the, "compact, cigalike, battery" the OP is looking for.

I'm going to use it for more than testing juice, I intend to use it as a home vape as well where I can switch out juices easily.

Having said that I'll prolly get those to start out with, so I don't ruin an expensive one somehow since it will be my first time.
