I'm not sure how that rda is built, if it has a juice well on the deck you can drip in that. If juice starts coming out the airholes it's too much. Try 4 or 5 drops, and work your way up until you find the right amount. You can drip through the drip tip, that's why it's called a drip tip. Make sure the tails of your cotton are touching the deck. Not sure if this helps or not, hope it does.

When I use the TM 24 pro as a dripper, I just drip down the drip tip. I don't take anything off. The juice rolls down into the well and the wicks draws the juice from the well.

Taking your top cap on and off will wear out the orings, but it takes a long time to wear them out. You can also pinch or damage the orings if you're carelessly jamming the cap on.

Do you use the ultem shorty or the other two?
I use the metal tip. But it doesn't really matter, the juice doesn't need to hit the coils or wick directly to work. When you drip down the tip, it will land on the post, roll off and some will get into the coils (usually) and the rest will just drain down to the juice well.

I don't count out my drops either, I usually just give it a quick squirt and go.

I can't drip through the tip except straight into the coil and that causes a pretty bad spit back. I remove the tip I can almost reach the wick. Remove the cap and i can get straight to the wick and the juice well.

This is why Squonking is so Popular. Dripping Flavor without the Dripping Hassle.

The Only Time I remove the RDA Cover is to Re-Wick.

I have a TM24 PRO RDA. It is one of my favorite RDAs. I use the adapter and an 810 drip tip. Mine is on a squonker now but I use to just drip 20 drops from a gorilla bottle down the center. The wicks will bring it to the coils. I only take the topcap off the renwick or change the coils.
Is this your first RDA?

Next mod I purchase will be a sqonker. I've been using the smok prince kit for some time and it broke so I was in a rush to buy something and at that time decided to go back to a regulated mod. I didn't really know how much vaping has changed since my last mod some 4-5 years ago. I picked up the aegis legend and way overpaid at a store. I like the mod so far but ...... about the price. Once I got the mod I decided on upgrading the freemax mesh pro. And then it accured to me to start using an RDA. After about a month of deliberation I decided on the TM 24pro

I have many regulated mods and I don't use any of them. Same with RTAs and RDTAs. I drip at home and work and use squonkers in the car and everywhere else too. I only use mechs anymore. I would suggest that anyone that wants to continue to vape get a couple good mechs and RDAs and know how to use them. You should also know how to wind coils and DIY juice. Stock up on nic base NOW! The writing is on the wall.

Try using a bit more wick in the coil and after dripping give the fire button a couple quick taps. The spitting is just from the juice not soaking into the wick before you hit it. Quick fire will pull the juice into the wick.

A couple of quick pulses on the coil after you drip will distribute the excess juice on the coil to the wicks if you are getting hot juice in your mouth. Or you might be over dripping?

Just sayin', you can reply in the message you quote by typing after the last
part. ;)[/QUOTE]
I really need to start reading the whole thread before replying.:facepalm:

The TM24 Pro is one of my favorites as well. I always drip through the drip tip with three quick presses from the juice bottle and spitback hasn't ever been a problem for me.

There are a few tips that may help you prevent spitting in general.

Do not overdrip. Yeah. Obvious.

Wait a few seconds after dripping or pulse the coil lightly to let the juice distribute equally, before you take a vape.

Pull the cotton through the coil as tight as possible without deforming or moving the
coil.

Do not overstuff the juicewell. If you overstuff, the juice will pool up between coil and wick in the well, which causes terrible spitback. Let the wicktails barely touch the bottom of the well.

The coil itself may contribute to spitback as well. A 24/32 clapton is much more prone to that than a 26*2/40 for instance.

Use the right amount of power for your chosen coil. Not enough or too low power may cause your juice to bubble rather than evaporate.
