RDA Duration before having to drip

[DadEh]

Hi
this may well appear to be a daft question but..
i just started dripping today and I have the Magma Paradigm and the DarkHorse rda's
currently have a dual coil 28g 7 wrap on the paradigm and lashed to the Sig 100w

also realize it depends on the wattage / voltage I am firing upon but I wondered what the approximate duration would be before I have to to the drip again.
I really don't want to do the dry thing as I've been hitting that all day today on one of my rta's

thanks in advance

There is no set duration. When the flavor dies off a bit, it's time to drip again. If your taste buds are still messed up from smoking (mine were for quite some time) you can listen for a distinctive sound from your rda after you take a vape and that should be your indication to drip. It's a very loud sizzle sound. You'll get used to it.

Perfect. Thanks doubleint and I'll be listening out for the sound but my tastebuds are pretty good too.
Appreciate the advice as a newb dripper and learning what to expect/experience

Yeah, it goes all over the place depending on your settings, how new the cotton is, the RDA. You'll learn when that hit is no longer truly saturated and it's time to drip.

When the vape gets harsher than the last one I drip again.
I have it a few watts less than it can take and that gives me some more vapes and doesn't hit as hard when the wick starts to dry.

When the "action" starts to fall off. When the snapping and popping starts to diminish, its coming up on time to drip. Wait too much longer after that and you`ll get the dry hit.

Hey there friend. I suppose it is the same way with using the reo. It does not take long to figure out when to squonk. It just becomes second nature to you. I think the first dry hit will be all the reinforcement you will need.

X2 on the sound. On all my RDA's there is a sound and a flavor that I became a custom too. It doesn't take to many dry burned hits to figure it out.

Yup. You'll hear the sound increase in pitch when it starts to get low.

I don't have a Dark Horse, but man that Magma can go forever on a tiny bit of juice depending on build, of course. I just love it to bits. I haven't tuned in to the sound, since there's always noise in here with a 3 and 5 year old running around, but the flavor and vapor drop off two or so hits before you get roasty, toasty wick. I'll have a play with my Hobo with a thirstier build tonight after the kids go to bed to see if I can hear the difference. If that thing dries up at 55W, I feel like I'm going to shoot my lungs to the next county. Oof.

one thing i found to improve my time between drips is wrapping around a something bigger/thicker to allow more cotton to go in my coil. This allowed more more absorption of juice and lead to more hits before having to drip.
