I have about 8 LR306 I use for juice DIY tasting. I like how easy they are to clean between flavors and I can just leave an atomizer with a specific flavor while I work on it.

Until recently I dripped regular 510 atomizers for my normal everyday use. Lately i've been getting into the rda's and am really enjoying the igo-l and others that I have. With all of them an occasional flood, leak, or dry hit happens but the learning curve is easy and you just get a feel for it. Never had a drip shield, don't think I need one?

I also have a lot of boge cartomizers and will either sale them or get a tank some day. For some reason i've never liked them very much. Probably will sell them.

OK I think I am doing alright without the drip guard now - if I stick to 3 drops instead of 5 as someone advised me. I really like dripping. Obviously it's only good if you are sitting at home just hanging out, but it's good fun and perfect for trying out new tastes. Now if only I could find one I like :( So far out of 7 new flavors, nothing has been a standout for me. :(

Sadly, I can share your pain. I have spent hundreds of dollars on juice...and I like one. It's the second juice I tried and I've been vaping it ever since. I keep trying flavors (only now I buy one little bottle instead of a sample pack) and going back to ones I have that I didn't like before, so far no luck. They aren't all awful, but no fireworks. :(

Lets see... one HH357 for $22 or ten Joyetech LR306s for $43. I'm staying in the low rent district.

I can do the math but feel like I'm getting a bargain when I order my HH.357s but feel like the money I spent on Joye 510 atomizers was pretty much wasted. Next to juice shopping, using the Joye 510s for dripping was the most miserable, frustrating experience in my vaping life. I found them quite difficult to keep in between flooded and too dry. I have zero problems keeping my HH.357s in a happy crackly state whether it's manual dripping, in my AMP Tanks or my VMOD-XL bottom feeder.

In my experience the Joye's can't hold a candle to the HH.367s in any measurement of performance. The HH.357s don't make me make choices about swapping any flavor nuances for either vapor production or throat hit. They deliver on all counts.

    To each their own. Which atty is best is just as subjective as what flavor is best. I've had several 357's, but they're not my favorite and price has nothing to do with that. If I said what atty I think is best for dripping, you would just laugh. So I won't go there :blush: (but it's made by Joyetech)

    So with the HH.357 or HH.367 you mention here - do you still sometimes end up getting that horrible metallic dry hit if you take one too many hits? Or is the advantage that it never leaks any juice out onto your battery/tube?

    I'm sorry you couldn't make them work. I haven't had any problem with Joyetech LR306s or Joyetech 510s whether it's manual dripping or in my Reo and Phidias bottom-feeders. I imagine someday I might say they couldn't hold a candle to the HH357, but since I would buy at least two of them so I would have back up, I probably wouldn't be able to afford candles.

    Unfortunately, no matter what vaping gear you use dry hits and leaking are always a possibility. With practice you'll get a feel for how each device works best. I think of them as having unique little personalities. :)

    Using the Joye 510s and some other inexpensive bridgeless atomizer was so frustrating for me that I felt as though I was too stupid and/or incompetent to be able to use dripping for anything but tasting juices and that using a bottom feeder would be way beyond my abilities. This led to me wasting a lot of time and money on juice delivery device explorations.

    When I ordered my first AMP Tank I was totally gob-smacked at how much easier the Cisco spec atty was for me to use compared to what I had previously tried. While the difference between the Cisco spec and HH.357 wasn't as dramatic it was more than enough for me that I only order the HH.357s now. They seem to be lasting better than a couple of months for me so the price isn't at all painful.

    So with the HH.357 or HH.367 you mention here - do you still sometimes end up getting that horrible metallic dry hit if you take one too many hits? Or is the advantage that it never leaks any juice out onto your battery/tube?

    Dry hits are caused by the atty not having enough juice in it and will take equally nasty irrespective of what dripping atty you use. Also, they will all leak if you put too much juice in them.

    The Cisco spec attys cost more than the Joyes but are considerably cheaper than the HH.357. I found them much easier to use than the Joye's because they offer a distinct audible cue that lets you know when its time to add juice—the crackly noise when they have the right amount of juice in them will start to noticeably diminish. Also, they seemed to me to have a much broader margin of error between too dry and flooded.

    Empire mods has a nice selection of drip shields that you can use to catch any juice from a flooded atty. If they are out of stock for what you want sign up for email notification for when the item is back in stock.
