"Dripping"

[Jrdot]

I am new to vaping and have been trying a bunch of liquids.
I tire of filling and washing clearomizers or my EVOD tanks to preview new flavors.
My question is what specifically do I need to get for my e-Go T batteries so I can "drip"?

 

[ZNinja]

Igo L is a great start at 14 bucks its cheap too. You'll need to learn to build coils though...

 

[Jrdot]

Thanks ZNinja, I'll check into it.
I'm just lost with all the jargon still. Hard to be clear what I want, and what will work with my stuff.

Or...for even less $$....get a couple of 510 bridgeless atomizers....around $5 each....no coil building required...rinse out with hot water and dry after dripping....they'll last at least a couple of weeks or more with daily use....
While you're enjoying the taste of your juices....read up on Ohm's Law and coil building!!! Then...go with something like the IGO-L (I have 3....) or IGO-W if you want to explore dual coils....You DON'T have to spend a fortune to get a GREAT vape!
Dripping, in its "infancy", is really what started the whole idea of "electronic cigarettes"...It's ironic that many (myself included!!) have "discovered' what the "pioneers' of vaping have known all along....sometimes, simpler is BETTER!!
Happy (vaping) Trails!

Where is a good place to buy the bridgless atomizers?

 

[InTheShade]

+1 for a 510 atty. I personally would get a 'sealed' type - this means there are no holes in the bottom. If you put too many drops of juice in there, it won't leak on your battery like an unsealed might.

An excellent atty is KP Long Barrel Sealed Atomizer - Kidney Puncher

There are others too - all for between $4-6. Also if you want more suggestions then there is a huge thread all about the different types http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizers-cartridges/405910-regular-atty-drippers-dying-breed.html

I'd personally go with a bridged 306 to start... and accompanying drip tip.

I'm in the same boat. Dripping isn't something I have any concept of yet. Need something simple and inexpensive to start with to try my DIY flavors.

Like ninja said, just get an igo-L - can't beat the price. Get some 28 gauge kanthal, organic cotton, 1/16 drill bit ( or similar in diameter ) and watch some youtube vids on building a micro coil.

 

[chemxsol]

I have a bridgeless atty myself to drip and try flavors. While doing that I read up on coil building and what not, bought myself some gear, and now im dripping on an igo-w and its amazing.

Thats what I'm talkin about! Real-usable answers from people that know. I love this site!

What does "NOT bottom feeder compatible" mean?

 

[tj99959]

I drip probably 90% of the time, and always have. I also learned how to drip with an eGo-T battery.

These will give you a great start.
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.5ohm
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm
Get one of each to start with. That way you can see how resistance interacts with voltage, and get an idea of the wattage you like best.
Use this to help figure it all out.
Ohm's Law Calculator
You might also want to get one of these for your eGo
Empire eGo Drip Shields

AFTER you learn how to drip properly, then look into RDA's and the like.
The result of not learning how to drip first before messing with RDA's is a person learns how to settle for what they get instead of understanding how to get what they want.

Means no hole in bottom of atty to feed juice like a Reo or other bottom feed box mod does.

What does "NOT bottom feeder compatible" mean?

It means the bottom of the 510 connector is sealed and won't pass juice up from a bottom-feeder such as a REO. Most disposable attys are open on the bottom of the positive post and are usually closed off by the positive post of a well-made mod that isn't a bottom-feeder. I've never used a sealed bottom atty and haven't found it to be an issue. Maybe it is on some mods.

Thanks. I'll have to watch some videos to get a concept of what that means but thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

I second the Empire Mods atty's. I do hear good things about the KP long barrel atty's too, though, I don't have any experience with them. Dripping is definitely the way to go IMO for best flavor. The disposables are fiddle free too! Great way to vape! Good Luck!

 

[NicoHolic]

I'm with tj99959 on skipping the RDAs for now and I use both of the bridge-free Empire Mods attys he linked to. I posted this earlier:

IMO, dripping into a disposable atomizer, especially a bridge-free, is the pinnacle of vaping, especially when it comes to flavor. It's just you and a couple of drops of fresh juice on a coil, directly below the drip tip. No long, flavor sapping wicks. No juice getting pre-cooked in those wicks or in a bowl below the coil. A straight shot of air from holes in the 510 connector, up around and past the coil, and up through the drip tip. No screw posts in the way. Their very low thermal mass makes for a more consistent vape temperature.

Few RDAs come close. Few even place the coil directly below the drip tip! Most depend on wicking cooked juice up into the coil against gravity. Many place the air intake at the side of the coil. They're more metal, either sapping heat from the vape or contributing to it. They're not the same as the disposables and most are more akin to a Genesis style atomizer that was filled by dripping into the tank. Again, JMO and YMMV.

The many-year dedicated drippers here on ECF, including the man I consider the guru of flavors, use disposables, many sticking to the bridged Joyetech and some not bothering to de-bridge them. A bridged atty is a bit more forgiving for a new dripper.

Hope this helps.

I just ordered one from Empire Mods. Thanks guys. I'm very curious about dripping so this should be a good start at a very minimum investment.

Now when it says it lasts about two weeks I'm assuming that means if you are using it every day. I mean, if you are just using it once in a while to test your DIY flavors, it should last a lot longer than that, right? what makes it stop working? Does the coil just go bad or something?
