I also install tanks with the air bubble at the top first, then turn the unit around to get the liquid to the atty. If the liquid is at the opening of the tank when you install it, you will get some liquid running out when the spike enters the tank. It might not matter in the end, but I try to minimize any extra liquid inside the cone.

A friend of mine gutted out his tank completely so the tank still fits and he turned his eroll into a dripping eroll - so whenever he needs to refill he just puts a few drops down the tank and it flows right into the spike. It's actually quite genius.

Since these tanks are small anyway might as well direct drip for better taste

So especially the tank turns into mouth piece /drip tip

I don't see why it should taste different. it is essentially the same thing.
 
I'm about to do a similar mod, these things are relatively new... new enough, and really tiny compared to other stuff, so there's not much in the way of modding to be found for them online yet... just makes me that much more eager to try some whacky new ideas and share them. I want another device like eVic or Twist battery with a nice drip setup for mixing, but I'm totally committed to these little guys as my main device... they excite me. A lot packed into such a small device.

It's almost the same thing but not quite - a lot of those dry hits or bad hits are from the tank not feeding the spike good enough - so a direct drop ensures a good hit each Time. Also you can remove the spike to expose the coils and then it would be like using a 510 bridgeless atty and drop

Well, if you remove the spike, then there could be a difference, but that isn't the modification you described earlier.

Even then, I believe there is minimal difference between tanks atomizers and dripping setups, other than the hassle of dripping and often the mess.

I haven't had issues with dry hits at all with the eRoll but YMMV depending on juice I suppose. I have to admit that my skill level of dripping never got high enough that I got consistent performance. I would go from flooding to dry hits, then leaks and dead attys to the point that I gave up before becoming skilled. I was getting into RBAs at the time and they were so much more consistent and problem free in comparision that I sort of wrote off dripping.

So, I guess a dedicated and skilled dripper could coax some extra flavor out of the eRoll, and more power to them if they can!

As others said - using a tank is essentially the same as dripping.

That aside, having to direct drip sort of defeats the purpose of the eRoll for me, which is a compact, portable device I can use when I am out, with as little hassle / maintenance as possible.

The eRoll is my device of choice when out and about. I use an eGo at home with a type-B atty and tank and that set up works well for me.

Thanks. I picked up the 'a' atty and tank so I could share attys with the eroll. But I could see me moving over to the b type, I'm assuming the major advantage is tank size?

I would have to respectfuly disagree. I think using a tank vs. dripping couldn't possibly be even further away from each other.

When using a tank, you have to deal with
A. the juice type - and how easy it flows (vg or pg as an example)
B. Air bubbles
C. The size of the tank
D. Dirt or other objects blocking the feed hole in the tank
E. The Spike in the ATTY
F. The wick in the spike in the atty
G. The placement of the wick in the spike in the atty
H. The condition of the wick in the spike in the atty


VS. - Dripping

Drip a drop onto the coils and vape.

I'd say there is a vast difference
Not trying to argue, just trying to state my opinion.

Tanks and Dripping go together like a ...... in church.

Yes, the method is different, i don't think anyone could disagree about that. But for your list, once you have replaced the original wick with mesh:

A. the juice type - and how easy it flows (vg or pg as an example) -No need to worry, it just works
B. Air bubbles -No need to worry, it just works
C. The size of the tank -A lot bigger than one or two drops when dripping?
D. Dirt or other objects blocking the feed hole in the tank -No need to worry, it just works
E. The Spike in the ATTY -No need to worry, it just works
F. The wick in the spike in the atty -No need to worry, it just works
G. The placement of the wick in the spike in the atty -No need to worry, it just works
H. The condition of the wick in the spike in the atty -No need to worry, it just works

So i just can't see any advantages of dripping :2cool:

Sure, dripping is a different animal, and the wick in a tank atty can be an issue if changing flavors or if old and no longer functioning properly.

The first example you gave said the guy was dripping on to the spike of the atty which would have all of the dis advantages of both methods with none off the advantages of either imo.

If someone is a dedicated dripper, using the eRoll with the spike removed like that and a modified tank as drip tip may work.

I would be curious about leaking into the auto battery and also how the tank is modified to avoid plastic tastes you may get from cutting or drilling plastic.

I was not happy with dripping even with a dripping atomizer so I think I will pass. I also didn't think the flavor was that much different than my tanks or Rbas, although all were better than cartomizers and clearos to me. Every body is different though, which is a good thing!

If you try it let us know how it goes and good luck!

Got my eroll today from RMV and it's charging now. Just a couple of quirks but nothing major. Mine was missing one battery but I did get an extra atomizer cone and cartridge. I already sent RMV an email about this. I'm sure it will be taken care of.

The other quirk is not RMV's fault but Joytech...the manual. I read them. Inside cover page is in english...one page. The rest is 6 different languages with 13 pages giving detailed information in those languages. I know Joytech is international but come on, how about some equality here. And the inside cover on the back page...chinese...they only got one page too :laugh:

Interesting!
B'coz, most of us have received our eRoll package flawless. The inst. manual is Ok/handy, but printed well. There also seem to be a good thought given to the presentation... everything is in place, as/where it should be. U may however download the manual HERE.

RMV adds an extra atomizer cone that is not in the standard kit. The presentation on the eroll is great but like I said it was just a quirk of mine and I tried to be silly with my post. Thanks for the link :)

I do not have my e-roll yet...(RMV...maybe Thursday ???)
But I did want to comment on the dripping atty/modding thoughts presented....

Way I see it, you can try and to some extent succeed at modding anything.
I don't see the e-roll being a very good dripping unit though...small battery, atty not made for dripping, no drip tip...
The e-roll is designed to be a small, light rechargeable tank fed vape cig-a-like.

If you want the very best RDA - IMHO...$ 10.00 will get you a SmokTech RDA...a vapor producing beast...I've got three of em.
Check out Bong24 (an ECF member) videos on YouTube...this guy knows how to throw a cloud !!!
I started a thread on this RBA here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...systems/393635-magic-rda-only-10-dollars.html
He is on this link too.

I am buying the e-roll as a small- take and vape tank system. If anything, I might mod the PCC to carry the extra stuff I might need.

I haven't had to deal with any of those issues with my tanks. I do only use Halo juice in my eRoll though. It's pretty thin and clean compared to other juices I vape. The problems you mention have to do with not getting enough juice to the coil. I suspect your buddy might encounter the opposite, too much juice. The spike and wick acts like a metering device for the system. Without them it would be easy to flood the coil, battery or switch. If you remove the spike I think you'll find the tank doesn't fit as snug in the cone. I use a tank without the bottom piece and it will fall out easily. It's possible the OD of it is gripping the cone but I think the ID is gripping the spike. The spike in question has a longer mesh wick that I drip DIY juice on to test, that's why I use an empty, bottomless tank. I don't doubt that it tastes and hits great but side stepping some of the engineered design will probably introduce new issues. A derlin 510 drip tip could easily be modified for proper fit into the cone and PCC to allow charging. If I were gonna drip with it that's one of the first things I'd do. Keep posting what he tries and the results, good or bad. I'm interested just out of curiosity.

This. The reason the eRoll battery works as well as it does (for me anyways), in terms of vapor, TH, etc., is because I vape on it for a few minutes, then toss it back in the PCC, so the charge is always at maximum when I pop it out, and I don't use it enough in a single go to really run the battery down. It pretty much always topped off.

That said, the battery does not hold a significant charge for terribly long; it is kind of made to be in and out of the PCC. Seems to me if one was going to drip, they would want a battery that has more longevity to it. Also, the eRoll would need to be modded such that a drip tip would still allow it to fit in the PCC. Seems like a lot of hassle when drip tips are readily available for longer-lasting batteries that don't require any additional modification.
