    in a cave, eh?
    I haven't tried dripping into a cartomizer with the filler removed, but it's doable. You might get more flavour out of it, but you would have to keep periodically dripping juice into it to keep it wet. With cartomizers, you also have to make sure you don't waste juice dripping it down the center tube. So, you would either have to use it without a drip tip or without the end cap, or you would have to remove your drip tip or cap every time the carto runs dry, i.e. every 5 puffs or so.

    Well, it's something you could always play with at home when the nic fits have subsided and you've got a few old cartomizers that are badly gunked up with nicotine.

    Dumb question: were you going to try this with a manual battery? I'd hate to think anybody might try this with an automatic battery with that small hole on top.

    i saw video about removing bridge from attie, but what i saw was a post about re-useing a carto without its fiber as a "drip bridge" is there any use for a cartomizor without its fiber/filler?

    Never heard the term "drip bridge." But the tings to note about your question are these:

    An atomizer has a steel mesh "reservoir" to feed liquid to the wick and coil. The bridge is mainly to pull liquid from the cartridge to the reservoir; if you are dripping, removing the bridge does not functionally affect the atomizer.

    A cartomizer uses the fibre filler as the reservoir to feed the wick and coil. If you remove the filler to drip you will have to drip directly on the coil (since you've removed the reservoir), you will have to drip much more often than with an atty (since you've removed the reservoir), any juice not held by the tiny amount of wick in the coil will leak out the air-intake once the surface tension is exceeded (because you've removed the reservoir).

    Atomizers are designed to be fed, and dripping is simply another way to feed it. Cartomizers are designed to vapourize the juice in which the coil is immersed, and once you remove the ability to immerse the coil, you radically alter the functional parameters outside of the design parameters.

    All of the above were facts. The following is just my opinion: It's definitely possible, possibly workable, but probably not a very good idea.


    If you try it, though, let us know how it goes :)

    The reason you only have to redrip "every 5 puffs or so" is that atomizers have a built in reservoir. Without the filler, the only juice available to the coil would be what's actually on it--I would think you would be lucky not to have to drip after every drag. Since I have to drip every two to three draws (I, evidently, really suck) I can't imagine a filler-less carto not giving me burned/dry hits on every drag.

    And I don't think that was a dumb question at all...

    Yeh. He was the middle child, the trouble maker. So I always tried to encourage him to do the right thing and always spent time with him. He recently moved out of town and got engaged so I hadn't seen him in awhile. I just talked to him a few nights ago on FB. He drove cars for a living. He was the only sober one but didn't drive home. He was less than a mile away from his house.

    I am very sorry to hear that. It's always hard when family dies, but sometimes it can be easier to take when you're not close. Sounds like he should have been driving, but then it's always easy to say what "should" have happened. And it seems like that when it usually happens--when you're almost in the clear...

    On the other hand, at least you did get to talk to him recently :)
