how to drip

[Spencer87]

So got a lot of flavors.... how do I drip?.... I assume I need some Sot of atomizer?

Trying to find a good one on Slowtech, but they are confusing. Rebuildable? I'm not e cig tech savvy.

Do I need separate coils...is it a tank....

Can someone link me to an acceptable one with any type of coils I may need to start dripping.... I hate having to go though a whole clearomizer just to change the flavor... and plus... think I get more out of juice that way

Things you'll need:
Something to drip on, AKA an atomizer
You'll also probably want an 18650 mechanical mod, clones of which can be found on fasttech for as little as $20.
Ohm meter (or an APV that can read ohms like an MVP 2)
Kanthal gauge or Gplat wire of your choice, I use 28 gauge
Batteries that can tolerate the ohm load you pick
Wicking material, this can be a variety of things, the most popular of which is by far organic cotton
Things to wrap your coil around, drillbits work nicely!

Things you'll probably want:
A better ohm meter
Tweezers
A torch or a lighter, though torches work better
Needle nose pliers

And of course, an atomizer. It's not a tank. This is pretty much the easiest atomizer I could possibly imagine building on, great for single, dual, and even quad coil builds.

It might seem pretty complex, but it's actually fairly simple. Just remember that youtube is always your friend... I realize my post is incredibly jumbled, and I guarantee someone else will explain it better than I can.

Youtube - Reviews for any Dripper you are interested in. Smart to watch and see what others think of it.

Ebay if you don't like the speed at which Customs and the postal service delivers from China.
Fasttech rarely causes the slow down.

That seems complicated. Anyway yo do this without building coils? Can't I do it on MVP 2.0, believe it has ohm reader

You pretty much have to build your own coils for a dripping atomizer. It's not that difficult once you get used to the level of finesse required to do it. You'll want the torch and tweezers to straighten out your coils after you build them. Basically, you pinch the coil together with the tweezers and hold a torch to it until it glows red hot. Keep it pinched and repeat it again once or twice, and once you let it go you've got a perfect coil. The number of wraps, the diameter of the wraps and the thickness of the wire will all influence the amount of resistance you end up with. The thicker the wire, the more wraps and the larger they are the higher your resistance will be.

That's where ohm's law comes into play, as well as the amp rating of your battery. If you're running a coil at .1 ohms on a freshly charged 4.2 volt efest 18650 (which has a maximum amp rating of 10), you'll be drawing 42 amps from the battery. That is a huge no. Pushing your battery past its limit can cause catastrophic battery failure, aka explosion.

However, if you're running a different coil at .6 ohms on the same battery, you'll only be drawing 7 amps from it. Well within the amp rating, therefore it's safe. That's why it's always important to check the resistance of your coils after you build them.

It sounds scary, but as long as you're safe and smart when building your coils, you'll be fine. Trust me, I'm the Doctor. (props to anyone who got that)

P.S: Yeah, you can use your MVP 2 to test the resistance of your coils. If it's under 1.0 it won't fire though. That's why my MVP 2 is now primarily an ohm reader.

Oh, my.

Yes, you can certainly drip using a MVP. You can also do it without needing to rebuild anything, buy a mechanical mod with batteries, a charger, a multimeter and everything else that was listed.
You can buy a good dripping atomizer like these:
HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper

They get great reviews and you can find them cheaper I'm sure.
Watch some YouTube videos to get an idea of the technique and go from there.

Told you.

The thicker the wire, the more wraps and the larger they are the higher your resistance will be.

You sure?
The thinner the wire, the higher the resistance, I would think.
