Like the title says, I would like to start dripping but I really have no idea as to what I should purchase. It appears as if the tank Automizers provide the easiest way of dripping and to be honest, those are the only ones that I understand how to fill and use. I currently do not have any Mods so I will be using the automizer with my 510's and 808 battery's with a 510 adapter. I would definitely like to try the tank automizers but I also want to try the regular automizers. Could someone please point me into the right direction as to what I should buy and how to use them. I've looked through numerous Youtube videos and have only found HOW TO's on the tank Automizers. Another thing I am confused about is priming the automizer.

I suggest a good atty, from Avid (Cisco 1.5 Ohm) or IKenVape I06's. There are many others but these perform very well for months. Money well spent. If you want to go a little further, look into a bottom feeder with those atty's on top. Also suggest a REO from REOSMods.com Nothing like a consistant vape!

What day is it
If you have one of those thin 510 batteries with the LED on the end, or an 808 that looks kind of like a cigarette, DO NOT try to use a 1.5 ohm atomizer on it. Not a Cisco or I06 or any other 1.5 ohm atomizer or cartomizer. Those are low resistance and will destroy any battery that small. You need a battery of at least 450mah for a low resistance atomizer.

You also have to pay attention to whether or not the connector of your battery is sealed. If you're a starting dripper, your atomizer WILL leak and if the connector isn't sealed, it will trash your battery.

If you want to try dripping and you have a small 510 or 808 battery, get yourself a plain old 2 or 2.5ohm 510 atomizer, maybe a "bridgeless" one. Get a drip tip. Try it out and see if dripping is for you. If so, you're going to have to invest in a decent sized battery. Then you can think about getting a 1.5ohm Cisco or I06. You can get 2.5 or 3ohm Ciscos, but they're over $20 each. They're worth it if you know you're going to enjoy dripping. If you have a decent sized battery, it's worth it to get a 1.5ohm model. But since your battery is small, you need higher resistance and it's stupid to buy a 2.5 or 3ohm Cisco just to use on a dinky little 510 or 808 e-cig.

Dripping is really nice!!!!! I agree with some of the earlier comments. If you get the dripping bug you'll want to start looking at either 3.7v (something like the KGO, etc) or a VV with more mAh (more the better :laugh:). LR attys are great on 3.7v fat batts (I'm partial to Cisco 1.8ohm 306s), but 3.0ohm 306s or HH.357s absolutely rock out loud at 5.5v.

No matter where you start, a couple tips. 1) if the atty you get comes "primed", blow as much out as you can before vaping 2) prime your atty with 4-6 drops and wait 30secs to 1 min 3) add 2-3 drops and take a dry hit (no button) and listen for the slightest gurgle sound, if there vape away - if not add another drop and check again 4) when the flavor/vapor starts dropping off add another 2-3 drops (rinse repeat)

If you flood it (and we all do occasionally) just blow it back out and start at the 2-3 drop step

Enjoy!
