RDA How Do You Drip?

[CharleyDanger]

I was wondering how people drip. For instance I have a dual coil build on the Plume Veil clone. If I drip through the drip tip will the juice make it to the wicks? Or should I be taking the top cap off and dripping like that?

I have seen some builds where they fold the cotton on top of the posts. I figure that would be just fine for dripping through the drip tip.

Roll the dice,
Some prefer one way versus the other. It will come down to how YOU want to do it.
Personally...I squonk.

I think it also depends on the style of drip tip you are using. Some are easier to drip into than others. I never tried dripping with my 70mm SS drip tip.

I do agree, the reo is the ultimate dripper and does not discriminate between the different styles of drip tips.

I take the topcap off my plume veil, but I run it single coil only. The Doge I drip straight through the wide bore tip. With my Tugboat and Freakshow I pop off the drip tip and drip straight down onto the center post.

I take the drip tip off. I guess I am in the third category...

usually I trip through the drip tip or drip top (chuff style top cap) - but every few refills i take off the top and check the coils. on a squanker I'm much lazier... I've taken the hood off and revealed some pretty nasty situations...

On my tobh I take the whole thing off and wet all the cotton. Currently using a dual coil build and I tend to run them til they're almost dry.

I take off the top cap (leaving the barrel on) and drip that way. I dont worry about being accurate unless it's with like a Plume Veil that will leak. I also want to be able to see how wet my wick is.

I also take the barrel off and wet all the cotton.

I only use wide bore friction fit drip tips, so I put 8-15 drops in through the DT.

 

[sedition]

I take the cap off.. if I drip through the tip on my Origen V2 I tend to overfill and get a leak.

For actual wide bore tips (not the regular wide bore tips you can buy that funnel into your regular drip tip hole, I mean RDA's with build in wide bore tips or chuff caps) just straight in... Convenient too, since the MX + Dark Horse can both take 1 full eyedropper squeeze

For other attys, I take out the drip tip & drip that way. Only one I use that's like this is the Magma

I have an original plume veil and i take the drip tip out of the insulator and it's a straight shot down, for singles or duals. Just be careful how much you drip or you'll end up with juice pouring out of the air holes!

I just recently got a "real" RDA (a magma clone -- I've had an Igo-S for a while as a taste-tester, but it's so tiny it's almost more comparable to a 510 dripper than a real RDA); the reason I got it is because my strawberry and cream DIY gunks so badly in a kayfun, it can ruin a whole tank of juice if I'm not careful. so, with my new magma, I kinda switch around; I often just take off the driptip and drip 5-10 drops on the coil, knowing the magma's well is deep enough to hold any excess. But, because this stuff gunks so badly, about every other time, I take off the whole top cap and have a look at the wick/coil, to see if I need to change it and dry-burn. This juice *IS* kind of a pain, but it's so tasty, I don't want to change the recipe at all, so I just deal with the frequent rewicking/dry-burning it requires; the RDA makes it a lot more convenient, and I don't risk wasting a whole tank of this yummy stuff.

Kinda depends on the RDA itself. Most of mine are fine just dripping down the DT, but some of them I have to remove it, and others I really need to remove the chamber so as not to make a mess.

Then there`s the HOBO. Have to drip each side independently, :?(

On my plume veil, I take the top cap off every time. On my dark horse, I just drip through the chuff. I really like both rda's but the dark horse is a little bit more convenient.
