First,you'll need a good atomizer and a drip tip that fit's that atomizer.
My favorite atty for dripping is the I06 from IkenVape; they have a good tutorial in their sub-forum on the care and feeding for all their various atomizers. The biggest drawback to the I06 is that you'll need a specific drip tip (DT) for that that fits nothing else. They do seem to hold more
juice than many attys and get less nasty when they start to run dry, in my experience.
I've tried a genuine Joye atty. It was decent but seemed to clog up faster than other atomizers, again, in my limited experience with them.
The HH357 from AvidVaper is very highly regarded but is out of my price range so I have no experience with them.
There is an atty usually referred to as a bridgeless, three hole atomizer that is decent and can sometimes be found for dirt cheap. It's one of the better values out there in my opinion.
All of the last three use standard 510 drip tips.
Some people like 306 atomizer, which have a 510 threading. They use a 306 DT, not a 510 DT. They can be nice but quality varies. My experience with them tells me they don't hold a lot of
juice, they leak a lot and there is a very fine line between decent throat-hit and hot burnt vapor. Again, AvidVaper has a 306 atty that is well spoken of but I've never tried.
Many people will say you need to de-bridge and/or de-wick an atty to get it to work right. I disagree. I think this is an attempt to get an inferior atty to perform as it should. Get a decent atty and you shouldn't have to mess with it too much.
Second, you need to figure out if your atty comes shipped with primer. If so, blow it out before using. Ikenvape attys have no primer; I don't think AvidVaper attys do either.
Next, you'll need to figure out how much juice to add to your atomizer, which can vary widely; anywhere from 3 to 7 drops. Usually you can drip a few drops and see if it's slurpy or gurgly then drip one less drop next time.
Then you'll need to figure out when you're running dry. Eventually you'll be able to spot a slight decrease in vapor and/or flavor when you're getting low on juice but until then you'll probably get a hot metal taste when you're too dry.
NEVER drip on a hot coil. Let it cool off a bit before you add more juice. Your atomizer will last much longer this way. I've had a few last for a couple months by making sure to let it cool off before adding more juice but this is by no means a guarantee. If I get a couple weeks out of an atomizer I'm happy.
Since you have devices that you can vary the voltage on, I'd recommend a standard resistance for your atomizers; around 2.5 ohms, give or take. You don't need low resistance (LR). The same wattage will draw fewer amps on a SR atty vs a LR atty (SR is easier on your batteries than LR).
