Just started dripping, having problems finding these answers

[Hinterscher]

I'm just now deciding I'm comfortable to to try dripping. I've looked at a lot of the posts but am not seeing some of the answers I'm wanting. Right now I'm dripping with a 901 since the arch is fairly high and easy to get to. I'm noticing I only get about 8 or so puffs from 3 drips. I'm a chain vaper and that just dosen't get it. I noticed a lot of people getting 10-15, but by then I start getting a burnt taste. Should I put maybe 3-4 drips instead? Also, after dripping, should I add a drip or two so that the atty isn't just dry or will it not hurt it since I'm not using it? I assume the burnt taste at the end is bad and means you need to stop and or burn up your atty? and not just part of it? I did a search for dripping and didn't really come up with much that helped. Thanks for any advice! Sorry for being such a noob!!

It can dependant on the type of bottle you are dripping from. I find some bottle give larger drips than others. And also what sort of length draw and how fast/slow you draw.

It is trial and error at the end of the day, personally I use three drops.

That is using a 5ml dropper bottle from TW and a JantyStick with 801 atomiser.

Yup--some drops are bigger than others. Also, not all "puffs" are the same. Some folks manage to take very long puffs, while others do a quick 3-4 second puff.

It definitely is trial and error.

When I started dripping, I used to unscrew the atomizer every once in awhile to see whether I was dripping too much such that liquid was leaking from the atomizer. If I noticed some liquid on the threads after unscrewing, I'd blow out the atomizer then start over again. I was surprised at how often I had managed to flood the atomizer . . . not so badly as to completely lose the vapor, but enough to decrease it.

Yup, definitely trial and error.

I'm using a 3ml plastic cylinder bottle. I apparently have a pretty short draw because I rarely hit the cut off switch (blinking red lights) but I find myself vaping in short intervals. A lot like an analog I'm wondering with as much as I vape, I should just go back to the carts, but it just seems like so much is wasted and I feel like I need to top off long before it gets dry even to the middle, only the top 1/3 is dry.

topping off the top of the cart is the same as direct dripping just easier to get right..

for good vapour every three or four perhaps five drops is par for the course..

the rest just stays in the cart and atomizer.. its just the way it is..
