Me again with another newbie question

[CJ Garcia]

hi guys, i was sufring [HASHTAG]#Vaper[/HASHTAG] hashtag on instagram, and found 2 things that got me confused, the first thing was something which i think is called "Dripper", it looks like a vaper pen but you dont have a tank and you just put the juice into some type of Frankenstein looking wires and i have no idea of what in the blue hell is that, and thats my first question...

I also came across with 3 words, clearomizer, atomizer and cartomizer, whats the difference between them and which one is the best for a newbie like me? (This is my second question)


Please use the most nontechnical language that you can jajaja

thanks

A dripper. An RDA. A rebuildable dripping atomizer. Basically a device that you build the coils and wick yourself, so you can get the type of Vape you want, such as the dark horse, troll, or doge. An atomizer is any tank or device you put juice into to make vapor. A clearomizer is any atomizer that uses replaceable coils, such as a protank, SubTank, Atlantis or nautalis. A cartomizer is a disposable atomizer. Like a blu e cig.

The answer to your first question is that is a RDA.(rebuildable dripping atomizer) They come in many, many styles for different purposes. But the main thing they all share in common is you build your own coils and wicking. The advantages of RDAs are flavor, vapor and cost effectiveness. BUT do not attempt to start with these until you have done research and more research.on building, batteries, ohms law, etc.

A clearomizer is the easiest place to start. You can even consider a cartomizer. In fact, many people would say that clearomizers were so bad in the early days that a cartomizer was more reliable and made for a better vape.
A dripper gives off more vapor (some/most anyway) and flavor as it doesn't have the problem of keeping the liquid (that would be in the tank) away from the coil (the wire) which can't be immersed in liquid.

Good questions.

These are all "juice delivery devices" to be used on top of a battery device, or mod, or advanced personal vaporizer (APV). Clearomizers are most often recommended for beginning vapers because they are easy to fill/use/maintain with a low learning curve. Cartomizers and cartotanks are an intermediate step up with a slightly higher learning curve. Rebuildable atomizers (RBA, RTA, RDA) are more complex for more intermediate or advanced vapers requiring making one's own wicks and coils.

It is. Just a bit of a learning curve involved. What kind of set up do you use?

 

[dionysuskiss]

It is. You just don't just dive in head first. As been stated, a clearomizer us best to start of with.

60%PG 40%VG, question.. i saw places who sell the drippers, "ready to use" even tho im a newbie, could i jump into it and buy them, or should i stay the hell away from it for now?

I went straight from a nautilus mini to an RDA, and I was fine, but I did extensive research, and had a great B&M that took care of me and was even willing to build my coils and wick it for me when I first started. If you go to a B&M (brick and mortar, a physical shop) and they are willing to teach you and even build it for you for the first couple of times, you should be fine. But, do your homework. Brush up on ohms law, and battery safety before jumping into something like this. I personally only recommend using real organic cotton, preferable Japanese, but research your wicking material. Just make sure that you're being safe with this, and you'll be golden. I only buy Sony vtc4 or vtc5 batteries, but I know purple efest batteries are great too. So, go for it, but do your homework first.

my thing here is that i want more flavor but at the same time more vapor, today i tried one e-juice called extreme ice that blew my senses and would love to go for the extreme, but i guess ill have to start reading, this got more complicated than i thought, but i guess at the end will be worth

If you're going to do it i'd suggest buying a good regulated device first. Learn the ins and outs with it before going to a mech. Really if you have a good device there's no reason to go to a mech now days. I mean build higher and maximize the mods output. With your current setup including what you ordered you're talking about going from a tricycle to a motorcycle without even riding a bicycle. If you get a good mod and a good sub ohm tank your mind will be blown considering what you're used to. I don't understand the rush. Part of moving up the vaping ladder is taking the time to learn while climbing that ladder.

I hope I didn't seem sarcastic or anything. I type stuff innocently then post it and then I realize it could be taken the wrong way. That is the problem with text, it doesn't show any emotion. I just wanted you to be safe and not waste money. Some people buy stuff and realize they like what they had better. I did it wrong in the beginning wasting money. When you can I'd suggest getting something like a IPV 4 or Sig 100 or 150 because it is very versatile. You can use a Pro Tank, Nautilas, Subtank, Herakles or RDAs on it. And you have plenty room to grow. I think the trend is going to be temp control for awhile. That one device will benefit you no matter what your vaping style becomes. Then if you decide you want a mech then go for it. My opinion shouldn't be what you base decisions on lol but I wish someone would have gave me that advice when I first started

And I apologize for writing a book. I just didn't want anyone getting the wrong impression
