How long will dripping last?

[bigbri]

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and have just a few questions. I got my 510 about a month ago and love it, however the atomizer has dropped noticeably. I have another atomizer but it doesn't produce a strong throat hit like my other one did. I boiled the atomizer I use regularly and am waiting to see if that helps, but in the meantime I tried dripping on my other atomizer with about 3 drops and I LOVED it. I was wondering tho, if I drip will it only last me for about one vape, or do I have to drip everytime I want to vape? Also, any ideas on why my newer atomizer doesnt produce as good of a hit without dripping?

I wouldn't call it a problem, but alot of new atomizers need a break-in time. You know, a period of time for them to be properly primed, and "broken in". Don't worry, you'll notice it hitting better and better the more you use it, just keep it properly wet and don't abuse it or dry burn yet.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "how long will dripping last?"
I drop 3 drops or so, and vape it til it tastes dry, and then I drip 3 more and vape that or I stop, depending on whether or not I'm craving more nicotine. Simple as that....

Thanks a lot, yeah I was just wondering how long dripping would go for (just a few puffs or as long as a cartridge would last) but I see what your saying, I'll just have to keep using my new one until it starts giving a stronger hit. But until then, I'm going to keep dripping for a bit and see how I like it.

I use a 510 for dripping- I never went back to carts after I got my drip tips. I usually get around 5 or 6 puffs off of a 3 drop top-up. I found that any more than 3 drops will end up giving you a flooded atty and a mouth full of fluid- not pleasant. As to the atty, this is just a guess and I'm no expert with atty mods, but there is probably a difference in the wicks of the attys- maybe caused by a manufacturing error - that makes so carts don't want to wick well into the newer atomizer.

Hope this helped.

When i had my 510. I would get about 9-10 drags off of it if i put 3 drops in. if i put 2 about 4-5 drags. Hope that helped.

When you drip you start off with 3 drops in the atomizer. Then whenever the vapor production drops and the flavor changes add 2 more drops. This will help keep the atty wet. Each time you drip might get between 6 and 10 drags depending on the mix of the juice you use.

Did your second atty come with the same kit or did you buy it separately? 510's made by different manufacturers don't give the same performance.

If I am vaping amongst smokers, 3 drops will last a little longer for me than the cigs they lit at the same time. probably 8-10 good draws. So I guess I drip about as often as I would normally light a cigarette when I smoked; quit since Haloween though.
