You just got to work on your knee steering skill, I'm a professional !!! JUST KIDDING !!


The number of people that do it is one thing.......The number of people that will admit it ????

When riding a motorcycle you really have to pay attention to other cars and you can tell before you get near them that they're doing something while driving....texting, make-up, messing with the radio, and the 1 that almost killed me...getting a toy that their baby dropped and rolled under the passenger seat.

I didn't care for that recycled juice taste from bottom feeders.

All in the technique.

There is a way to do squonking sort-of wrong. It's pretty fool proof, but there are some things people unwittingly do that will affect the juice taste slightly. It requires some simple techniques to follow.

If your constantly squonking while the coil is still relatively hot, your going to cook some juice that will go back down into the bottle. People ask this all the time: "Why does the color of my juice get darker in my bottle?" Answer: "Wait like 3-4 more seconds before you squonk so your coil cools down."

Also, if you let your coils get too gunked up, there's a chance that fresh e-liquid will mix with that carbon build up and get sucked back down into the bottle. I change out my wick every morning. I do a quick dry burn and run the coil under water every time I change the wick. 2 minutes tops. I've got a twisted 28g coil that's over 4 months old now that's still lookin' and performing shiny and new.

One last thing that will infect the flavor of fresh juice in the bottle on it's journey up and down from the RDA deck is using too much wick. You don't need to store/hold mass amounts of juice in wick to be heat drawn to the coil with a bottom feeder. The juice stored in all that cotton will get to be a bit "cooked" as well, and when you squonk fresh juice from the bottle it's going to mix with that old juice a bit and then flow back down. With bottom feeders, you use only enough cotton/wick to fill in the inside of the coil and barely touch the deck in order to absorb fresh squonked juice. Good enough for 3-5 hits max. Basically, don't be a lazy squonker trying to get 15 hits between squonks! Your going to squonk more than you would have dripped, it's a trade off. Dripping involves so many steps, you naturally want to get more than a few hits out of the effort. Is squeezing a bottle really so hard that you don't want to do it other than after at least 10 hits? Keep the deck free and clear, and squonk more often getting less hits between squonks.


Clean coil + Minimal wick + Clear and efficiently flowing/draining juice hole = Fresh clean on-demand juice all the way through a bottle. No recycled taste or darkening of e-liquid. And yes; the solution to dripping behind the wheel. (hell dripping anywhere)

Yeah I must admit I do it and its definitely a bad idea. I have began to not do it while actually moving but like another poster said while at stop lights, and if I really need a hit i will now just pull over to the side of the road or into a parking lot.

I love my drippers too much to use a tank anymore(kayfun is the exception).

It is surely just as dangerous or worse than texting while driving as its almost impossible to do without steering with your knee.:facepalm:

Dripping while driving is sketchy business. You really have to crack your windows to be safe when vapor hits sunlight it reflects and can obstruct your vision!!
Additionally a lot of my friends have been pulled over by cops just because of the amount of vapor in their cars (it looks like you're in their hot boxing your car with some greens. It's a lot of unwanted attention!).
I only drip when I'm at a stop light.
Secondly, if I have a long drive I'll just throw a cartomizer tank on

How dangerous would you guys and gals say dripping while driving is compared to activities while driving (texting, calling, eating, drinking, etc.)? And also how many of you do it?

In a word DON'T! That is why God invented tanks.

They're all the same to me. If you're taking your eyes off the road, even for a split second, you're driving while distracted. Those split seconds can be the difference of stopping just short or slamming into the back of someone else's vehicle.

If you're going to do any of the things mentioned in the OP, keep it restricted to red lights or gridlock.

Anything that distracts you from driving is risky. Texting, making phone calls, changing CD's, yelling at the kids in the back seat, programming your GPS.

Now, I have used a dripper while driving - with a fully loaded RDA on a short commute to work, with another APV in the drink holder as backup. I've never tried refilling anything while driving.

I Leave the bottle open and ready to go ONLY at red lights or I'll pull over since I work local.. In the instances (which are many) where It's not safe which is most of the time I got the spare mod with a kayfun .. Certain days I'll bring the reo and it's much easier but still the spare kayfun is there also..

You guys are doing it all wrong. When I need to drive and drip, I take an orphan kid with me. When I need to drip, I put on the cruise control, put the kid on my lap and let him steer for a bit. It's a win/win for everyone! I get to vape, the kid gets to drive (orphans almost never get to drive - let alone drive a blown 427 Shelby Colbra) and if I ever get pulled over, everyone (including cops) loves an orphan and their adorable antics so I won't get in trouble.

Blown 427 Shelby Cobra....

LOL.

Keep dreaming.

Perhaps what you meant to say was a Mustang that's been made to look like a Shelby GT350/500 with a 427 Cobra Jet engine that's been blown, but there is no 427 Shelby Cobra unless you're talking about the $5.5 million dollar 427 AC Cobra Super Snake, and I can assure you that you do not own one of them. (Only 2 exist)

And if you did own one, you wouldn't be so stupid as to put a supercharger on it.


Now, not to brag or anything, but..... MINE!

900+ hp detuned to 780hp to keep it above the 9.9 second 1/4 mile. If it runs faster than that then I have to dump another $20k into safety gear that I don't want to have to pay for right now.
