So with dripping... didn't like it, leaks, tasted weird, cleaning attys sucks, etc...

So I figured it out... I guess I read wrong information somewhere. I was dripping 5 drops... leaks etc. Found out dripping 3 drops is the most my attys can deal with. No more leaks!

Hated cleaning the attys between flavor changes... well, I figured out I don't have to clean between uses when dripping 3 drops each time and I know when more liquid is needed now, so I can go from one flavor to another without cleaning and the flavors don't mix and it tastes GOOD.

Guess everyone else was much quicker to learn these things than me...

I love dripping now!

and my first VV box mod is coming in 2 days... just in time. Its a cheapie from madvapes, but it was worth a try!

So... Anyone got tips for a good drip?

oh i hope u have a drip tip.. = godly

I had 2 but lost them... so I added one to my VV box mod from madvapes that should arrive Wednesday.

Dripping is much better if you do it right... learned that the hard way.

PS: had an annodized aluminum drip tip and didn't like the metal at all... one I ordered is plastic. Probably will get a few more next week.

get a dual coil cart and you can drip a lot more lol

but all jokes aside.. at first i was pushing the limit with how many drips my cart could take.

like you.. i learned the hard way.. 3 drips is more then enough.

I also have 2 XL clear cartomizers coming with my box mod order... are they really good? never tried them... but liking driping for the last 2 days :)

a lot of people are complaining about the clear cart's.. i wasn't about to try them. i hear they crack easily.

Volcano makes a new clearomizer with a thicker tube that doesn't crack.... but my issue with them seems to be they have a problem "wicking"... because 2 puffs will taste good, then the next will taste like burnt badly, then a few mins later good taste again... so I went to dripping after that.

I never had a problem with the old clearos cracking until the 3rd or 4th fill... so if thats the only problem with these clear cartomizers, I will be very happy as the taste was really good on the old ones.

oh, a question... how do you drip with a really thick juice? BWB malty toffee is super thick and I feel it takes forever to get to the heat source... after I dripped it, wait like 5 mins, and still tasted like I was burning up the atty so I waited a bit longer and it tasted good...

Any way to fix this?

Some juice slags wick and kills atty/carto after awhile.

CE2-X is excellent except for a couple bugs.

DC is excellent; it's a power hog so need good PV.

I quit dripping and switched to DC and CE2-X; much better IMHO.
 

Thank You

Dear elan123,

This is to inform you (and offer congratulations) on your release from the carto-of-the-month-club. We, the carto-fan-club, are sad to see you go. You will miss the excitement of trying the latest-and-greatest carto each month only to find it isn't any better than before. You will now taste your e-juice without filler flavor. Your atomizers will now last a month or more (sometimes many months depending on juice). As a new "drip master", you know that dripping 3 drops into an atty is a great vape, and avoids all the hassles with hardware, mods, foam, leaks, cracking, burnt filler, plastic flavor and syringes.

Yes, we are sad to see you go. Remember us while driving so you don't get distracted.

Thinning e-juice can be done with PG or distilled water. Usually only takes a few drops.
No need to de-wick, de-bridge, de-anything except delight. Just clean the atty before it gets too gunked and overheats. Blow it out once or twice a day between cleanings.

We'll miss you.
Sincerely,

Carto-fans
