I just got a Vamo V2 a few days ago and also purchased some protanks, which I really like. But have been seeing a lot of talk about dripping attys and would really like some help understanding them and suggestions on what kinds people like, etc. Any information would most certainly be welcome actually. I really hope/think the Vamo is finally going to help me make the switch from tobacco for real. :2cool:

Dripping attys are 510 attys that you literally drip a few drops of eliquid on the coils themselves. I can state that the HH.357 is one of the best stock attys I have used. The other one that gets a lot of clout are the atomizers from EmpireMods I never cared much for dripping, but now I am using a Reo, so that is what I do all the time.

Most people that drip build their own coils, but since you are not there yet, stick with using dripping atomizers until you get your sea legs with dripping.

I got an IGO-W, and started mucking about with it. At first it wasn't all that, I was trying 32 kanthal, 3 wraps, on 2mm silica wicks, dual coiled, and it was a pain to set up. Didn't really do it for me. Then I tried microcoils and cotton, and that made all the difference. I did the coils with 28 kanthal 10 wraps for .8 ohm and pulled the cotton through. This gave a marvelous vape and great flavor. Of course you have to carry a bottle of juice with you all the time if you go out with it, but I'm convinced that the microcoil is the way to go.

It's a lot easier to deal with, easier to re-wick too. You can just yank out the cotton, burn off the coils and stick more cotton in there.

    Only from my personal experience, there is a learning curve to dripping, and the key was to not get all mad & frustrated when I flooded the atty, got dry hits, or even popped an atty. It was just part of learning what I could and couldn't do with the atty. Understanding that just made learning a lot easier.
    But! that is also why I would never suggest a $22 atty, or a RDA for learning how to drip properly. Learn first, with a $6 atty, and then go for the gold. That way you will know what to do with the good atty when you get it instead of destroying it.

    In todays world atomizers like the HH-357 are becoming somewhat redundant even tho' some of us still like them. The quality of RDA's have just overtaken them is all, even though RDA's have a learning curve all their own.
    So in the end, learning how to get the best that dripping has to offer is a process .... not an event.
