Looking for a good dripping device

[psquigg]

I recently purchased the Yeti and the carts weird me out with that synthetic material. One of the carts ran dry on top and some of the material melted and really hurt my lungs. I tried direct dripping which made the vapor taste burnt and its giving me a sore throat...

Anyone have any recommendations for a better device for dripping or a safer cart?

How long have you been vaping? How much money do you want to spend? Do you want a device that supplies 3.7 volts or 6 volts to the atomizer? How do you think one of your cartridges ran dry? Why do you think you got a 'burnt' taste? While you might think these are stupid questions, they are, in fact, rather important on several levels.

Cost is really not a big issue

I'm indifferent to the voltage I'm just looking for something that gives me a good fix. Not really worried about vapor output or throat hit I just want a good fix.

The carts came from altsmoke.com maybe the batting was packed to tight to let the remainder of liquid below pass through but that's really irrelevant. If it happened once it could very well happen again and the risk of what ever that is doing to my lungs isn't worth it.

The burned taste came when I dripped I have no idea why this is...

Good, honest responses!

You must give this new habit some period of time before making decisions about another device purchase. Keep mental notes of what you did not like and use those notes to shop a new device.

Cool. You are ripe to eventually purchase some really great custom battery packs!

Well, if vapor production and throat hit are not important to you, stick with a typical e-cig device which supplies approsimately 3.7-4.2 volts to the atomizer.

The filler in cartridges works fine. If you tax the device by requiring more liquid than the cartridge can provide, you will run it dry. You can either reduce the amount of vaping you are doing, top off the cartridges more often or have a ready supply of refilled cartridges on hand so you can swap them out when one starts running dry. This is a basic vaping ritual; not many ways around it unless you want to start dripping. Even then, you still need to stop, remove the mouthpiece, drip, replace the mouthpiece, vape and repeat as necessary.

The burned taste came when I dripped I have no idea why this is...

99 times out of 100, a burnt taste is a result of the atomizer running too dry, not anything to do with the cartridge filler burning. The second you detect a burnt taste, switch cartridges and/or add a couple of drops of e-liquid to the atomizer.

The only atty I drip with is the 801. Huge bridge, loads of vapor and great taste makes it ideal.

Thank you very much

On a final note any recommendations as to where I can find a high flavor liquid and maybe a device thats geared towards people who drip?

Flavor is so subjective, it is difficult to point you to a specific source. Keep trying as many as yhou can. Some suppliers I use for e-liquid inclusde Johnson Creek Smoke Juice, Heaven Gifts, liquidepress and BestECig. Suppliers like nhaler and myfreedomsmoks have double-concentrated flavors that many folks enjoy.

Every vaper has an opinion on what atomizer provides the best flavor and at what voltage that flavor peaks. For me, I like BE112 atomizer (or a DSE801) on a 6 volt battery pack like the AdapteveR or Super-T. Of all the custom battery packs available, I believe that the AdapteveR is one of the few currently in stock.

I use a Chuck with a 510 atty and it works great for dripping. Using anything with a 510 atty should be roughly the same (I think the yeti is a 510 too, but I don't remember offhand, so correct me if I'm wrong). If you're dripping, you need to keep the atty very wet. Flooding it isn't a bad thing in my opinion, and I usually do (many would disagree, so YMMV). There is usually standing liquid in mine, almost up to the top of the bridge.

Doing this just reduces vapor production for a bit and makes gurgling noises, but after a couple pulls, it works great until the next refill. When I stop hearing gurgling and/or popping noises when pulling, I know it's time to drip again, otherwise, 2-3 pulls later, the atty is dry and I start getting the burnt taste.

Dripping on a 510 works perfectly fine. If you're getting a burnt taste that burns your throat, you don't have enough juice in your atty. It takes a little bit of getting used to, but here's what works for me on a 510.

Drip 5 drops in an atty that you've just blown out.
Drip 3 more drops when it starts to taste a little burnt.
Keep dripping 3.

You won't get any leaks using these amounts of drops, assuming you don't drip and immediately set it down.

There really isn't any one device that is made for dripping, or is necessarily any better than any others for the specific purpose of dripping. Dripping is more about the atomizer and how much juice it can hold, and what kind of bridge it has. And it is also about using sealed batteries, which generally means using manual batteries. Unsealed batteries (automatics usually) can get juice in the battery hole and the switch can get gunked up and stop working right.

This could lead to a battery stuck in the ON position... all sorts of reactions could occur here, burns and explosions just to name a couple.
