So in my experiments with delivery systems I've yet to try dripping... well, I did it several years ago with the old tech, but I'm assuming it's a whole new game now, and I'm really looking forward to a method of trying new flavors without committing to a whole carto/clearo...

Anyway, I'm currently using ego twists. Any suggestions on the gear I will need?

I really like a warm vape btw.

Thanks in advance!

357 long barrel will do fine. are you looking for a dripping rba style or just a atomizer? the 357 atty works well, havent really tried anything else. the 510 atomizers kinda suck to me. they gurgle a lot and flavor isnt always there. get a quality atty and it should last awhile.

I'm not even sure what RBA style is...

I know I'll need an atomizer and a tip, maybe a shield? I'm very noobish on this...

I have Twists too, and have recently starting dripping. My absolute favorite so far has been the two 510 dripping atomizers that I got from SmartVapes. They were really affordable (about $5.00 each). They're designed especially for dripping and are sealed, low resistance ohms.

I have seen others comment that they are as good as higher priced atomizers....

If you decide to try dripping I'd recommend that you buy:

510 connector - otherwise your atomizer won't fit properly on your Twist, it needs to be raised due to the inverted twist battery connection

drip shield - This will help to keep it all neat and prevent a mess. Also nice to not worry as much if you over drip a little

drip tip - the one I got at SmartVapes broke, so I don't recommend those although everything else I got there was great.

Shorty cone or similar cover (optional) -- this is for aesthetics only. It covers up the 510 connector and makes the setup look streamlined. This item isn't available on SmartVapes site as far as I can tell. Here's a link to the cone cover that I got:
eGo Steel Sleeve Cone Type A and B

Here's a link to one of the S,artVapes 510 atties (they have two different 510 atties):
SmartVapes 510 Dripping Atomizer long Barrel 1.5ohm

I have really enjoyed this setup. All told it's probably about $15 - $20 with shipping.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: I should have specified that the 510 connector is a 510 to 510 connector. There are different kinds out there, but this one is 510 on both ends, and is for just this type of use. The ones on SmartVapes are long 510 to 510 connectors, but any 510 to 510 should work fine. ALSO: When I got my 510 to 510 connector I thought it was broken. Turns out there was a tiny nut that I had to remove by unscrewing it from the connector.

How much would it cost? I am kinda not familiar with all these new things. Do you know whats wrong with it. I don't get the red light that indicates it is burning. I still don't know what happened. Thanks though for your info!

You may need to either (a) recharge your battery (b) buy a new one if it's broken. The cheapest place to buy these things is imho FastTech - just do a forum search to see what I mean.

P.S. -- If you do decide to get the SmartVapes 510 atomizers, make sure that you turn your voltage all the way down before you use the atomizer or it will be way too much power. You'll get a harsh hit otherwise.

My Twists are often around 4.0 and that is wayyy too much for the low resistance atomizers. Just remember to turn it down before your first dripping session. LOL

In fact, now that I think about it, I'd reccomend the 1.8 510 for you instead of the 1.5 version. Here's a link to the one that I would recommend:
