Why does dripping not work with me? I have tried 3 different attys on my LT. A bridged atty, a debridged "Dripping" atty, and a HH.357. I have watched countless videos on how to drip, read tutorials, etc etc.

I prime it with 3 drops.. Waited a minute or two, and tried it. If it tasted burnt I added another drop or two.

I taste a hint of flavor and get minimal vapor. I know you are supposed to get a better TH, more vapor, and more flavor.. But I'm not getting it whatsoever. I get pretty decent clouds using my jtank and boge 3.0, and the flavor is definitely there. But I'm venturing into DIY, and need to be able to successfully drip.

What am I doing wrong?

Flooding is the most common cause of no or little vapor production. Remove attys - blow out from the connection side. Use 1 drop to start - don't over vape it - and see what happens.

Assuming the attys are rather new and not gunked up, the other possible cause would be the ejuice you're using. Some really thin pg ejuices don't do well. I drip two PV's - one eGo vv set to 4.2V using a cisco 306lr 1.5Ω atty and vaping an expresso mix of DV's Doppio Expresso and BackWoodsBrew Expresso that is about 50/50 PG/VG - loads of vapor.... And a Reo Mini - 3.7V with the same cisco lr atty using BWB Applewood - again - high vapor production - both coming in at 10+ Watts. I drip the expresso by using about 4 drops (I also have a drip shield on the eGo vv one) and while the Reo is bottom fed, I'll still drip occasionally straight on to the atty - again 3 or 4 drops of the Applewood.

I suppose one other thing is that it helps to drip directly on the coil or bridge rather than down the side of the atty chamber but even then some ejuice is going to make it to the coil area....
