Guide to Dripping?

[Aggort]

I've seen some videos and read the guides and really think this is one of the last few questions I have before I can truly explore vaping. This is more of a reaffirmation that it is a question, I guess.

So as are as I understand, in order to drip you remove the cart or tip you have and drip one to two drops of the preferred juice into the atomizer. After that you take a small puff without the tip on and then you can place the tip or empty cart back on and enjoy? Is there anything I am missing? Also, it seemed when I tried this first that the vapor was a little less consistent, is this possibly because it was new and needed breaking in or does dripping produce less vapor?

Any help is much appreciated!

Actually, on my 510, I put 3 drops on atty, replace cartridge and vape.
The vapor depends on the device.

Is three Safe? Of course I hear if you over do it it's an easy fix. I was reading something about priming, what does this mean?

 

[Katmar]

I always use 3, but no more than that at a time. Priming is when your atty is dry or new. You want to put a few drops right on the atty. Someone correct me if I am wrong on the priming.

I thought that's what it meant as well, I also thought it mean inhaling it once quickly when you first wet it.

I don't do any quick inhales.
Hope you enjoy!!
It is truly a new lease on life.

I drip only and I use a 510 on my Silver Bullets at 6 volts. I always put 3 to 4 drops and then when I start to feel my throat get a little sore I know it's time to put in some more juice. I normally get about 6 good hits off 3 drops of my DIY menthol juice.

When priming a "dry" atty, I always start with 3 drops and let it sit for about 15 or so seconds (it's the only time I need to wait).

Then I puff on the cig like normal until the taste changes. At that time I only put one more drop on and continue vaping (the amount of drops depends on the device, so experiment with them).

When I'm in the car, I add an extra drop between each session (just 'cuz I'm lazy).

I get far more vapor and flavor from dripping. If you're getting less vapor, it's probably flooded. If you typically hear a "gurgling" sound, start lowering the number of drops you use.

If the vapor is feels "hot" or stings a bit more than usual on the back of your throat, the atty is too dry, stop and add one drop to see if that clears it up.



Each and every night, before I hit the sack, I blow out the atty, put two drops in it, and cap it with a rubber KR808 "condom" to keep the atty from drying out.


My atomizers last a LOT longer when I stick to these methods.

Thank you all so very much!

I just started direct dripping this afternoon. I think I like it.............I wish there was a way to fill a "resevoir" and just keep puffing away. I'm lazy

 

[$hua]

Ive been playing around with both direct dripping and carts (moded carts) over the past 2ish days, direct drip certainly tastes the best (even over the NFM cap mod) IMO.

However I too am like many of my fellow americans, lazy that is. And deff am gonna need to persue some sort of reservoir/ bottle feed mechanism for direct dripping to be a long term method.

My question/contribution is this: Ive seen many ppl giving their varied opionions on direct drip, but too few times do i see ppl giving their precise results, i.e (hits/pulls per # of drops, times dripping/refilling per day etc.

I did see one person mention they get 5-6 pulls per 3 drops i think it was,,, at that rate id be re-dripping each time i picked it up ( ive been taking about that many pulls + a primer pull each time i pick up my 510) Ive run out of my 36mg juice and have fallen back to 24mg , so the frequency of vape session has increased also.

My question

How do you drip with the standard 510 carts with no filler without burning the cart? It seems like all that I do without any filler is just burn up the cart.

I have a drip tip on the way so hopefully that helps.

I would put it more like this, I get every pull as a good one and many from 4-5 drips and for as many times as I have to do that your playing with your cart and getting aggravated while I’m still getting every pull as a good one then your pulling off your cart messing with it with your tweezers filling it pulling up your fill topping it off, mean while I’m still getting a tasty vape every pull your all done putting your cart on, bang wow pop drips 4 drops all done more great taste and pulls after a few hits your pulling the cart off or adding drips again while I’m still getting great pulls tasting my flavor way better and every pull is great, uhm ya that about explains it ( unethically ) but does

I'm with ya....
All that fiddling and messing around with carts made my blood boil after about a month.

You'll love the drip tip.....
I never could drip with an empty cart. It was a PITA to keep taking it off to drip every few minutes.

Exactly. I drip because I'm too lazy to keep messing with carts, filler types, topping off, fiddling, tweezing, leaking...


And as a bonus, it's also the best way to enjoy vaping.

I dont melt TOO many carts but it has happened so I just slice about 1 or 2mm off the bottom of the cart with scissors and voila - no issues

 

[mwa102464]

Boochips & Anim8r, you two no what im talking about, and one other point, not sure what kinda carts you other guys & girls sre using megs or regular but lets just say 12 drops as an average sometime maybe 1-2 more small carts 1-2 less so 12 for kicks and giggles ok, how many really good vapes (pulls) whateva ya wanna call it do you end up getting before you have to fiddle like I said in the last post pull out the fluid take off the cart bla bla bla, so many extra steps this way its 4-5 drops and go and I will Guarantee you every vape I take is a great tasting vape even when I feel it lighten up a bit and know its time to drip 4-5 drops and I never ever get that ech bla filler taste, when I first started vaping a little over a year ago I never would drip either I was like screw that I wanna fill that cart, and havent been dripping forever either, but man O man is it better and a lot less time consuming with way better taste everytime I take a pull it even makes me ;-)

 

[stover.p]

OK I'm loving the dripping..............where's the best place to get a drip tip that is super easy to use? I'm all for the KISS method
