I wouldn't discount the 510 atty for dripping. Lots of people prefer it. My local (and only) e-cig store only sells ego batts with 510 attys. Not sure why he butchers the kits, but that's what he sells cause that's what he likes. I think I talked him into branching out and trying something new though. But if that tells ya anything, he invested enough money to open a store based on his experience with them ;)

Now, why have I not seen this before?! That does look very interesting. Thank you for posting.

I have gotten use to the funny smerks, and people laughing when I tell them that my favorite atty to drip is a LR 510-T with the wick plate removed.

I just tell them "maybe you should look at what is in there". That is the cleanest ceramic cup design for dripping that I have found.

I have similar problems, and I don't drip. I just use cartridges and attys. Frustrating sometimes. That burnt hit is god-awful, and the flooding makes them useless. Some attys seem to work with little resistance (pull), and others are like sucking hummus through a coffee stirrer. Some make the crackling sound, others gurgle, others are silent.

    Wish Hanna would use that cup in the 357

    Not sure why they still bother with those since dripping/cartos/tanks seem to be what everybody ends up using :)

    IMO carts are the epic fail of vaping. Noobs destroy more atties by using cartridges than any other way. I think manufacturers/distributors actually do people a disservice by putting atties & carts in starter kits instead of a box of cartos.

    Agreed. Attys take practice and patience. Cartos take nothing. They should be an upgrade from a carto like you said, not vice-versa.

    I hate atomizers, lol. I went to a KR808D-1 with refillable cartomizer...I got the Halo G6 but there are several other kits that are comparable. I haven't had a single unpleasant experience since making this switch.

    You know...if I had to choose between fighting with attys and analogs I would most likely go back to analogs...that's how badly I hate them. :/

    Yep there is a learning curve with dripping. Brand new atty gets 5 drops and after the drops are added abt 7 draws and then add 2 drops again followed by abt 7 draws. The 2 drops abt 7 draws simply continues. Gurgling or harder draw means I need to blow out the atty because I've flooded it. Beginning of a dry hit simply means time to add more drops.

    Different ohm attys at different volts can mean I need to adjust to a third drop but I never drip more than (after the initial start for a new atty) that along with the number of draws between dripping can vary slightly but not by much on any atty. If I'm dripping for a long period of time and dont think I'm flooding the atty its still a good idea to blow it out every few hours and always when I'm done using that atty for the day.

    You should try lifethroughecigs. Easier and much better then Joy ever thought of being. I used Joy my first 3 months out and hated it also. Just my two cents...

    2 posts and a website recommendation....sorry, don't believe it, sounds like spam to me **edit** I just went and looked, and both of the posts are spam for that site. Went to the site, it sells 1 e-cig. You can get it with or without the box lol. Sounds like somebody's trying to start up their own business, if so, it's sad they can only do it by spamming.

    Back on topic, with my 801, I noticed that none of my attys ever tasted exactly the same. Some even went so far as to taste like fruits though I'd never vaped anything fruit flavored. That's one of the reasons I quit attys, as I got tired of the fairly extreme flavor variation. Y'all drippers ever noticed that too?

    This also works great with the eGo-T atomizers. I have four of them I was going to throw away. The standard resistance one I just tested works better than it ever did before I removed the removed the wick plate. Thanks for the advice!!


    LR 510-T ATOMIZER

    Just remove the wick plate, and there it is.

    Works but a drip tip doesn't fit, and the eGo cone is not a functional drip shield. It will keep any juice that leaks from getting all over the place, but doesn't allow the atty to use it.

    With this drip shield on a 510-T atty, any juice that leaks out will simply be drawn back into the atty.

    As a fairly new vaper i totally agree with this. At the moment i'm using low resistance smoktech cartomisers and occasionally dripping onto a LR 510 atty, and generally having a nice vaping experience. However i feel this is more down to my own persitence than anything else.

    My first kit was bought off amazon and was really cheap. the battery life was terrible and i would get around 4-5 drags out of the carts that claimed they were the equivellent of 10 regular cigarettes. They did the trick while they lasted and prompted me to watch a few reviews which led me to get a 510 kit that came with two 510 battery's, an attomiser, and 5 carts. the first week with this kit was nothing short of hellish, battery life was ok but i still found myself waiting for batterys to charge before i could 'try' to vape again, i stress the word 'try' because as soon as the battery finished charging i would usually procede to spend the next 40 mins draining the damn thing flooding the atomiser or just trying to get the carts to wick. In all honesty i probably should have given up there and then and i know a lot of people would have, but i'm glad i didn't.

    The sad thing about it is, all this could have been avoided if the so called 'starter kits' were actually sold with the aim of getting new vapers to have the easiest experience possible, cartridges in my experience are the most pain in the ... method of vaping i have come across and yet this is what most of the starter kits come with, it makes no sense.
