I am a "dripper" and thinking about purchasing an ego. Any tips/recommendations? It sounds like you must either remove the cone, or use a drip tip...is that correct?
No, you don't need to do either unless you're using cartomizers, then the fits is tight with the cone and drip tips are a favorite way, with some, to use on cartomizers. Others cut a 901/510 cart to fit. But with cartomizers there is no need for either. In fact, I think the draw and vapor is better with the cone.
Many are using LR attys (low resistance - higher power) to use with the eGos and they are for dripping only mainly - so along with the LR attys people also use drip tips which allow you to drip directly
through the drip tip wide mouth hole without having to remove it. But even then you can use the cone.
Hope that helps. Feel free to follow up if that doesn't address what you read.
