I ordered a pack of 5 e-dobits several weeks ago. It took a while for them to arrive (just got them yesterday) and I filled up one of them last night to try it out.

For those who do not know what an e-dobit is it is a plastic pen looking device that you fill with juice (by unscrewing the tip) to make dripping easier. The tip of the device is similar to 'absorbine jr' - the idea is to place the tip directly on your atomizer wick & press up and down for a few seconds to load the wick up with juice. It comes with a snap on lid and the instructions claim it will not leak.

I use a 510 with the drip method and the device fit perfectly down into the atomizer. The device did come with instructions - not hard to figure out regardless. I moved the device up & down on the 510 atomizer wick for about 5 seconds or so and started vaping. As you do this you should see bubbles floating up in the device to let you know the juice is actually coming out. Most of the juice I use is rather thick so I had to tilt the device back & forth a few times to get it to flow down to the tip.. no biggie.

Although I probably won't use this while I'm at my desk or at home I can definitely see the benefit while driving. The fit of the device into the atomizer 'pipe' is easier to deal with than trying to hold your PV and bottle of juice steady while driving, at least for me. In other words, the tip is always centered over your wick just by the close fit of the pen-shaped device into the atomizer.
---------------------------
On a side note I unscrewed the tip to look at it closely and completely freaked out because inside the little tip it looked like a black spider had crawled in there and died. You know when you see a dead spider on its back and the legs are all curled up? That is Exactly what it looked like. My first thought was, OK I have been vaping juice that was mingling with this spider corpse. I immediately tossed the entire e-dobit into the trash. Well I got out another one (since I have 5) and unscrewed the lid and looked at That one. I saw something black inside but I decided to get the tweezers out to perform a quick autopsy. I pulled the black stuff out and it ended up being some kinda black mesh material, very stiff. So I felt quite relieved that it Wasn't a spider after all..unfortunately I had comletely mangled the inside of the tip by pulling out the mesh so I had to toss That one too. Anyway, I am glad I ordered a 5pack so I at least have 3 left.

In your bushes, watching you undress
..... but did you like it? Are there things you like/dislike about it? Would you suggest them to friends?

I bought some last week and am waiting...

Your mom said not to say...
Yeah I thought I might have missed the review part with the gripping tale of the spider scaring you silly. I never understood why girls are afraid of spiders. So how does it work overall then, I have heard that it's not quite as nice and simple as you would like to believe, but I also don't think they realized that you probably would be best to prime the dobit before you went to use it. Just like you do with Absorbine Jr. prior to putting it on you need saturate the spongy head.

How long did it take for your order to arrive? I ordered mine a couple of weeks back and figured it would be here by now, I thought the waiting for supplies part was done and over with and they were shipping them when ordered.

It took about 3 weeks. I emailed the seller twice and did get a response so I can't complain about that. I would recommend them to people who like to drip and drive although to me its easier to just drip from the bottle while I'm somewhere stationary. The tip seems to be getting a bit mushed in from usage but it doesn't seem to affect performance. It doesn't seem to leak which is a definite plus as these are easier to carry around in your pocket compared to a bottle of juice, but I carry a little zipper case with me to work so the juice stays in there. I suppose if I was walking around and didn't want to carry the zipper case the e-dobit would work out very nicely.
I don't see any reason why these wouldn't work with a device like the chuck, etc. because the atomizer is still accessible for the pen-shaped part of the e-dobit to fit into.
Not really scared of spiders I just didn't like the idea of a dead one being inside the device. It was, fortunately, just an illusion.

Not going to lie, I was excited about getting my e-Dobits, but after 3 weeks of waiting and finally getting them...I filled them up and was highly unimpressed with them. Quite frankly, they suck. I use VG liquids and I even dilute them, yet it is still too thick for use with the e-Dobit. I guess with a strictly PG based liquid they may work alright, but they just aren't for me /shrug

Right, I have only tried PG as that is all that I use. Some of them are thick but I found if I tilt the device to the side for a few seconds the liquid eventually drains to the bottom near the pressure tip. They aren't the most useful thing I own, but I might throw a couple in my pocket if I don't want to carry my zipper case. I'm not very skilled yet at the drip & drive technique so it has been useful to me in that situation.
