How many puffs per drip

[Deafmomm]

I'm about to embark on direct dripping. Tired of fooling with carts and refilling and washing out polyfill, cutting foam, etc. I'm wondering how many drags in general you can expect to get on each drip. Is this something you have to do every puff? 3-5? I know this can vary from person to person; I'm just looking for a range. Is there some sort of "signal" that you need to refill - like a wierd taste or sound from the atty? Sorry for all the noob questions!

I get ~4 good drags for every 3 drops. I usually don't keep track of my drags, and end up feeling the wrath of hit #5, which is harsher and not very tasty.

I think this will depend on your atty as well. eGo Mega and LR atties will use up more juice per puff, so YMMV depending on your hardware.

 

[Deafmomm]

Ahh ok. I'm using an eGo with a regular atty. I seem to be getting about 5 drags before the flavor drops off. And hey! we stopped smoking the same day! Way to go us!

eGo with a regular atty, 3 drops about 4 to 6 good hits! Dripping high octane nic (24mg+) and full tobacco flavor surpasses analogs imho.

Yup, 3 drops and 4-6 hits.

If not already, get yourself a few Low Resistance atomizers. Quality and durability various a lot but these get great reviews:

EM LR 510 Atomizer (Black) [VJALR510] - $6.95 : VaporJunction, E-Cigarette Supply

These are said to be the same as the ones from vaporjunction. Shipping is spendy @ $17 bucks (coming from China):

Just ordered 10 myself.

I get alot of hits maybe 10 or more good ones. I use an ego regular joye atty. I think its got to do with the juice more than anything. A good PG VG mix and if its clear it vapes longer per drip i think.

I agree on the 3 - 6 drops thing. You will notice the taste of the refill quick - time to redrip

 

[gice]

You may initially have leakage issues too. i think some amount of gunk needs to be built up in the atty to hold the juice...

Y does dripping seem 2b better than wicking from a cart ? Is just a matter of getting more juice to the coil ? I do some dripping and also use an ego mega atty and cart. There has been occasions where it seems I could get 10-20 good hits from 3-4 drops. IS it based on the juice ?

I use a 401 which is the exposed atty type. I've not come across anyone mentioning this... but long ago I pulled out all the padding etc from my carts, enlarged the hole to double its size, and cut about a quarter inch off the top.

Then - I TIP. Take the nozzle off a 5ml bottle (or 10ml) and throw it away. The bottles have the perfect opening to snuggly fit the atty (up to the body of the ecig itself). So, I push it in, invert bottle and ecig 2 or 3 times, withdraw, pop the cart back on and I'm good to go. The whole process takes a fraction of the time and effort of dripping and the atty gets a perfect amount of juice with each tip (with no leaks!). It's about enough to be the equivalent of a real cigarette, and the 401 set up in this way gives a really great vape.

Tipping is quite therapeutic too - a bit like refilling a pipe.

 

[cr12]

yeah it is kinda therapeutic, and i dont have to jack with stinkin carts!

Great post... I'm going to drip very soon this is very usefull..

 

[urahara]

In my previous setup of my rebuildable atty I was dripping 3 drops and had about 8-10 puff
in the current setup (higher ohms and volts) I drip 4 drops and I am about to 4 puffs...

confusing....

 

[flint212]

i just made the switch to attys and using a regular 2.2 ohm joye and getting about 2-3 puffs per single drop. if i drop more than 2 into it, it leaks out the battery end. it's a better hit then carto but definitely a pain the a..

 

[Serianna]

I have 3 hole unbridged 510 attys and with it I can put 4-5 drops in and get about 15 draws from it.

 

[sethkal]

I have joye 510 atomizer with ego t battery... 2-3 drops is plenty for me and gives me about 3-5 solid hits

 

[Roseblue]

I have a SS GGTS, I vape at 6 volts and drip exclusively. I drip 2 drops at a time and get about 6-7 good puffs before dripping again. I use a High Voltage 901 atomizer. Love it!

 

[allmac]

No matter what atty I use or voltage I run it at, the way I can tell that I need to drip again is by listening to the atty. If I hear ANY sizzle in the atty after I let my finger off of the fire button then it's time to drip again. 3 drops in a 510 LR usually gets me 5 hits or so.
