One morething what is a drip shield? As usual you all have been very friendly andhelpful in my mission to nerve smoke a cigarette again. So far so good not 1cigarette in 3 months.
Thank you for all the help I know I ask a lot of questions….lol

Get yourself a atomizer and drip 3 to 4 drops in put on drip tip and vape away. When the metal taste gets close repeate process. If it is running out the bottom and your flooding then put less drops in

What is dripping, using an atomizer rather than a cartomizer and not using those horrible cartridges you drip directly into the atty and vape easy as pie. Drip shield are great you mention you use an eGo this has a raised 510 connector so you won't even need a 510 to 510 adapter just go to a site like empiremods.com and buy one. They are great for new drippers because they contain any juice you might over drip into the atty.

A drip shield helps users who drip so that if you over drip it holds the excess juice that would have otherwise leaked out so it can then be drawn back into the atomizer to be re-vaporized. You have to make sure there is room on your e-cig so that the drip shield will fit correctly or you will have to buy an adapter. The drip shield needs to slide down far enough so that the bottom O-Ring inside the drip shield is past the vent holes between the atomizer and your battery. The adapter requirement is more common when using a drip shield on a MOD. Good idea to use a drip tip when dripping as the atty can get quite warm/ hot.

And albeit an old video it's very detailed:

The video does a good job of explaining it. I use a slightly different technique. It's a combination of dripping and the Blue Foam mod.

I drip two drops onto the foam and two drops onto the bridge. No leaking no need for a drip tip or shield etc. I started out using this a few years ago. Then I tried all the new newfangled stuff like clearomizers and tanks etc, etc. Now I'm back to the blue foam/dripping. It's so much less of a hassle and the taste is the best time after time.

Good luck.

There are many types of attys i proposes a good Rebuildable Atomizer in drip mod

 

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Any 510 atomizer will work, Dotty.

You can "start" with a "normal" 510 atomizer for a few bucks with and without a bridge (= a stainless Steel mesh above the coil) and a Drip-Tip mouthpeace made of delrin plastic, metal or glass. Professionals swear on the HH357 to drip. This is a handmade 510 atomizer but it´s much more expensive than a regular 510.

The "Rolls Royce" is a Golden Greek Odysseus in "Dripmode"...

I've heard a lot of good things about the HH .357, and I want to get in to dripping instead of just using a tank so that I can really get the most out of my flavors. Does anyone have any experience with it? Would you recommend it?

 

[Llyrana]

Before you spend a lot of money use a regular 510 to test dripping. Not everybody likes the dripping after some vapes. If you mix your own juice (DIY): dripping is the best method to test and try your selfmade e-juice.

So if you don´t like the dripping you dont´loose too much money, because the HH357 cost´s a lot more than a regular one (and it could burnout as easy as a regular one)...

Diffrences in the taste ??? Yes... there are differences, but in my opinion: The biggest diffrence is between DCT and the (dripping) 510. The 510 taste more clearly. The differences between the 510 ??? Very little but available.

Something about dripping: you will need a VV-Device to find your "sweetspot" and some of the 510 have very different ohm-strengthens.
