Isn't dripping a hassel compared to using a cart or tank

[charly1954]

I've read so much about how many like to drip. From what I read when you drip you just put a few drops in, then you vape, then you have to put a few more in, etc..

To me this has to be a hassel, seems to me you spend half the day dripping in juice. And if you want to try another flavor I would think it would take a while to burn off the last flavor residue before you get the full flavor of the new one.

I refill my own carts, I use a standard bat. So I have many different flavored carts. If I want to change I simply screw on a different flavored cart. And when I leave the house the carts will fit into my case)4"x3"x5/8" which goes into my back pocket. Can't do that with a bunch of flavor bottles.

So can someone explain to me why dripping is so popular. Who wants to carry around 2-3-4 or more different bottles of flavor to drip with. Would be easier to just carry around the smaller carts. Or is dripping just mainly a do-at-home thing.

If you are doing it right, dripping can usually be a far superior experience for most people both in the flavor and vapor production. I build fairly large coils in my rebuildables and when I need to can go a half hour or more without dripping. I don't use them anymore, but with some of the standard 510 atomizers, I could get anywhere between 5-15 minutes of moderate vape time or 1-3 of heavy vaping between drips depending on the atomizer. It also depends on your style, If you are sitting around just enjoying a vape, dripping is not a hassle and can be relaxing and fun.

Yes of course it's a hassle,not to mention the mess.

I love to drip, but I only do it at home. Once you get into the rhythm it becomes automatic and you don't think about how many drops/how many puffs/whatever.

When I first started out I used the dripping method. I now strictly use tanks. It's so much easier and 10x more convenient. If you're sitting at the computer, then dripping isn't bad, but if you're at work or in the car, dripping is definitely a hassle.

Tanks are the way to go, IMO.

Dripping and driving is a bad plan. It's something I do at home while relaxing. I take tanks when I go out.

I will say this though; dripping as apposed to using tanks, saves you a hell of a lot more juice. I remember when I could make 10ml last me like 2 weeks with dripping. Can't say the same about tanks though lol

Take the good with the bad, I guess.

I'm not patient enough to drip. No frills, no fuss. Plus I always want different flavors through out the day and have a bunch of clearos and tanks filled ready to go.

I really hated dripping until recently. It took me finding the right dripping atty for it to work for me. I hated the small capacity 2-3 drops of most attys.

Now I am using a 10-12 drop RBD which means I drip in 10-12 drops and can vape pretty much for the next half an hour to 45 minutes without having to muck with dripping again.

Dripping is just a much cleaner unmuted taste.

I use carto tanks when out and about though.

I've got a dripping atomizer coming in vapemail, mostly because it seems to be a much quicker/simpler way of sampling multiple flavors without repeatedly draining/cleaning tanks/clearos. Beyond that, I envision doing in a manner similar to what Ocelot mentioned above - while relaxing at home, but not while out and about.

I can liken it to my former smoking habits in that cigarettes were my daily, out and about fix - but if I had the time to relax, sit back and enjoy without time constraints or other things to do, it was nice to enjoy a good cigar.

I too have heard a lot about dripping and how it offers better flavor/vapor. I tried it once with just a standard 510 atty and it was messy and unappealing. The liquid leaked everywhere and always having to refresh with a few drops just didn't cut it. Now maybe I was doing it wrong or need a certain type atty in order to make it work, as has been pointed out, I don't know. I just stick with clearos - fill 'em and go.

The one aspect of dripping I do like is the ability to sample flavors a few drops at a time. Seems like the way to go for testing DIY stuff, or pre-mixed for that matter. I may have to figure out a basic dripping set-up just for that.

 

[Steam Turbine]

Is dripping an hassel?

Hell yeah! I hate it... I mean I get it, it is a great vape and bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla....

But:

What can I say, I'm a genesis guy!

It just takes a little practice. It's one of those things that is hard to explain online, but a cinch in person. My friend had only vaped a Blu and when I gave her my eGo kit I taught her how to drip. It took less than 5 minutes for her to drip like a pro.

That's the first thing I've read about dripping that actually made me consider trying it. Being myself (i.e. clumsy, prone to impatience, and maybe a smidge on the lazy side) I can't see myself doing it on any kind of everyday basis, but I might just pick up the stuff to give it a whirl, just to see what the fuss is about.

 

[Leithan]

I don't think I could drip full time, it definitely has it's place. RDAs are a great way to get into rebuilding. Sitting at home watching the tube it's great, driving not so much. I don't have one method of vaping, the situation or the activity dictates the set up I use.

A Good Vape is just as varied as the many Vapers are. Whatever keeps someone off Analogs and gives them the best experience is the best method for them. I only have an el cheapo 510 Atomizer for my Dripping device which I use when sampling new juices, and it suits that purpose just fine.

I have a significant distractibility problem and find dripping soothing because of the focus. Once I get a rhythm down, I'm not even aware I'm paying attention (hard to explain), but I feel more relaxed. My hands shake pretty bad, so my aim can be off, but the dripping police haven't busted me yet. It seems most of the problem people have with it is over thinking. Just because someone says to drip in 5 drops, doesn't literally mean counting 1,2,3,4,5, - you can't. The bottles don't all have the same size openings.

I learned to drip all by myself with a 650mAh eGo and the 510 attys that came with the kit. No ECF, no vapers to talk to. I watched some videos on youtube, but I have a short attention span and most of them were boring anyway. But I got the basic concept and found some other tips online. Bottom-line: Drip liquid onto hot coil to make vapor. Too much liquid, it floods; too little liquid, dry hits hurt. I just practiced. I quickly learned not to inhale deeply unless I was sure it was all vapor. I discovered how to listen to the atty and to feel a slight resistance when the atty was wet and I took a quick cold draw. This is very hard to explain online, and someone just told me today that they don't hear the same changes in the attys that I do. I don't know - you basically have to figure out what you want and how to get there. I'm good at grasping concepts, but not following directions, so it's quite possible I'm doing it wrong.

I'm sure many people could agree but imo dripping is great.....when at home. If you're going for convenience you're obviously gonna go for a tank but there's nothing more satisfying than a drip sesh; the flavor, throat hit, vapor etc.

Tks for all the info, just as I thought most like to drip at home. Not easy to do away from home. And since there is probably 100-200 different brands, styles, or models of ego/drip setups. It would be a hit and miss on getting a good CHEAP setup.
