is there such thing as a wet Cardo and a dry Atty

[KENNY V]

Hey think I found the right place to ask these 2 Q's .OK here is where im at ...finally got a few successful vape days under my belt. Yea !!! Even celebrated the other night with a few brews and did not want a smoke... Last night was a dif story went out played cards came home had another one and needed some tobacco fruit wasn't cutting it.... well thats anothertopic lets gets this dry Cardo wet Atty thing squared away


My Q is now that I need to vape allotwhen I need to is there such thing as a wet Cardo and a dry Atty


Now here is what I am experiencing .. my juice is tasting dry.... it seems I have to always top off a Cardo for it to taste anything like my juice otherwise its dry and taste like the poly fill or nothing at all . Initially I fill with the condom method then top off each morning. Or as needed However I can take a few hits maybe 2-3 times and its like dry again ..


so what do you all do to prevent that?




Now on to the Atty I love to drip... 2-3 drops and works great for a few hits … some what seems after a while that it doesn't taste like my juice so ill add a few drops again. The first two hits are OK but then I lose flavor... well that may be a taste bud thing that im experiencing .. If thats true please share your thoughts??..



However back to the 2^nd Qis there such thing as a dry Atty and I mean that don't't leak... right now I am using Boge 510 Atomizer and leaks even after 3-puffs after only 2 drops was added. I put down or in pocket and its like wet...


anyone know if its my brand is it only my Atty or that happens with them all?
So Is there such thing as a dry Atty?
If so What is a better brand style that I canuse sisne I love to drip and cant stand the dry vape from Cardo


TIA


vape on man

Darn... hit the wrong button and it wiped out my post.

They sell drip tips for cartos so I guess the answer to your question is... you are not the only one experiencing this. I wondered why they sold drip tips for cartos and I guess it is so they can keep the carto full and not get the dry hits.

As far as leaking is concerned... happenned to me twice over the last 24 hours but this has been the first time in a long time. I believe it is due to adding juice when you already have juice in there. Maybe it is the juice that is in there already leaking out. They sell drip shields for this but I prefer to keep this under control myself.

As far as juice losing flavor... the main juice I vape... Puresmoker Silver Leaf Menthol.... has one taste when I start... then goes through a 'not much taste' period (this is all on one vape of maybe 7 drops... 15-30 hits)... and then ends up with a strong tobacco taste at the end... when the heat is being concentrated on less juice. So, I guess things like this all depend on the juice being used.... and you can of course try some different juices.

I been doin allot of dripping lately in fact thats all I been doin , I am mostly using is Boge 510 1.7--2.0 ohms and some other aftermarket Bs.
My q is there such thing as a dry Atty and I mean that don't leak... After a few consecutive drips they leak does that mean they are shot ? Or im not letting them cool off enough or what ? Im like using 2 dif attys at once. (One on each battery ) That way they may cool off a bit before I add more juice. But they still leak after like 2-3 times dripping. JMHO lots of wasted juice

Is its my brand or is it all my Attys are shot or that happens with them all?
I have a few better ones on the way Cisco LR 306 ATTY's/ Vapage AMG Hybrid Atomizer Bottom Feeder . Will these be better or I have to get better ones yet or have to build one that don't leak?
TIA
Vape on

once you get the technique down pat, you probably won't be leaking anymore.

it takes a little while to get the hang of dripping.. once you do, you will know when to add juice and how much to add.
sometimes I can tell by sound, other times by taste, but I always try to vape it to *almost* dry before adding more drops.

when I first started, the hem of my shirt stayed wet with juice from me always wiping the excess off :slob:

hang in there, you will get better at it and not leak anymore.

When the juice gets hot in the atty its gets thin, really thin, just a little too much in a hot atty and its going to leak. Most attys are unsealed and are press fit onto the connection.

I try to vape an atty until the flavor changes to that " the next hit is going to burn taste" it's off in a uh oh running dry kind of way. I read a post on here that helped me. If you don't end up with few burnt hits you won't be able to drip properly...thus your messes. I made them too. Bought the atty sleeves and they are dump, well, they look pretty but change the draw so I never use them any more.

Yupper it took 3 attys to keep up. Think some thick juice helped allot too . Next was move on to better attys. Well this week I did get my SR vappage attys. Not too shabby and now have my new Cisco SR 306 ATTy's
The vappage attys are (bottom feed ) IMO poor thread design ,catches like 2 threads. I think thats a flaw . Other than that it works fine. The Cisco 306 hit is a bit airy but overall kicks but... maybe be the tip seal ill find out when I replace it.

Anyways ain't much i can do w/out Juice . Have a pack of reds tho. I am doing what I can on my end... if someone says any different then thats on em
Good day Friends
Vape on...

Hmmmm... with me... pretty much the same as what others have posted here.

Those new to dripping have gotta realize that, if you drip some drops in and hold your PV upright, well, that juice is gonna leak through the air holes and onto your PV after a few seconds. So, you can't keep it vertical for too long until you vape the juice out of it.

I really believe the only times I have had leaking is when I don't vape all the juice out and turn it upright to add more juice... it is the juice that is already in there that is leaking.

Yeah, there are also the cases when I am dripping and... MISS! LOL, not much you can do about this except aim better (and try to keep your cat from jumping on your lap when you are dripping).

I usually drip in about 3-8 drops, which I guess is a lot compared to most drippers, and vape until the vapor starts tailing off significantly or I start getting some burnt taste. MOST OF THE TIME, when the one of these things happens I just hold my PV upright for a second or so and then vape again (this allows any juice that is still in there to flow down onto the atty coil) and can usually go on for a bit longer and still get vapor. When even this does not deliver vapor, yeah, the atty is now dry and I then add mode juice or move on to another atty (hmmm.. right now I got 15 or so atty/drip tip combos each with a different flavor).

Right now I am using 1.5 ohm and 2.0 ohm cisco bridgeless sealed post 306 atties on my egos, and that is giving me 7.7 and 5.8 watts respectively. The higher watts give bigger TH while the lower wattage seems to be better for flavors... and that is pretty much what people say. I got my main vape and one other on the 1.5s and everything else on the 2.0s. Considered going to all one or the other recently but decided not to. The bridgeless atties, compared to the bridged atties, may spit a bit at times (actually that does not bother me), but seem to give bigger hits (because the bridge is not getting in the way?) even comparing 2.0 bridgeless to 1.8 bridged (with wick removed).

The big thing for me and dripping was discovering dry burning a few months ago. Before that I would get scabs on my atty coils for most of my juices (this could be seen clearly on 306 atties under 10x magnification), some even after as little as 3 ML, and with that the atties were dead. With dry burning (and also using normal cleaning including a ultrasound cleaner), I can get the scabs off and thus this made dripping on all the juices I had that had these problems... possible again.
