I'm thinking of giving direct dripping another try. The combination of my vaping style ("OH MY GOD!!! UPSTOMP'S ON FIRE!!!") and the high VG content of FSUSA's juices isn't 100% working for me on cartos. They just can't keep up.

I do love how FSUSA vapes on my neutered atty on my 5V passthru, but it's a ~3 Ohm, so it doesn't vape very well on my eGo, especially since the de-bridging/de-wicking (not a fan of having to mod atties either, BTW).

Have any of you found that FSUSA juices at the standard 50/50 are better for dripping? I don't want to mess with the PG/VG ratio because I'm a sucker for tons of vapor. Still, it doesn't wick too well in the polyfill. Should I try some standard, un-neutered atties, or should I go right for an LR (I've yet to try one)? Has anyone tried the 2.5 Ohm atties?

FWIW, I see a Silver Bullet in my near future. Birthday's comin'.

I have the Vapemate from Super T and it works great, but I'm still just dripping because I am still using a cisco 306 lr atty and I can't use that with the Super T since it's not an enclosed atty. My FSUSA juices work fine dripping, whether in the feeder or if I'm doing it by hand, which is 95% of the time until a casing is created for the cisco! lol...

I actually think the 50/50 ratio works better because it's a little thicker, less dripage. :vapor:

You know I think that you are right about that. I haven't always vaped FSUSA juice (shhh:closedeyes: ) and I had some very thin high PG juice when I first started vaping. It did seem to drip right through the atty and make a mess.

Exactly. It seems like the 50/50 just clings to the atty better. But it's that same clingyness that keeps it from saturating the atty quick enough in a carto.

To tell you the truth, those drippers kinda weird me out - like I'm taking my PV scuba diving. ;)
My kids think I look very futuristic! I've always been one to jump on the newest tech stuff, so they are sort of use to me and my ways. When they saw me with the Vapemate, they really just laughed...lol

Ha, ha, that's funny! It does look kind of strange but so does my Buzz and I don't leave home without it.

I've heard awesome things about Ikenvapes LR 306 attys. They fit on the 510 and you can get a drip tip to fit it from Iken also. I just bought 2 306 attys from him and hopefully they will be in the mail. I do all VG and dripping has been fine for me. I'm using the CE2's right now and have no problems. I put a lot of flavor in my juices so they get thinned out a lil more so that may be a good thing too.

Okay guys, help me out here. I'm like Salem. I have a Buzz that I really like and a bunch of V4L 808 batteries. Dripping and atty's are a total mystery to me.

I understand the LR atty's won't work on what I have, but I don't know if that's right or not. I don't know what an Ohm is and how to figure out what the Ohm on something is. I do have a meter that I use to find the voltage I want on my Buzz but I don't think it shows Ohms ... but I could be wrong on that too.

I ordered a regular 510 atty with my last FSUSA order and I think I can use it with an 808 adapter. And I have the mouthpiece part that I got somewhere. I also have some drip tips that I got to try with some CE2's. So I think Ihave everything I need to try one and see if I like it.

Am I right and is there anything else I need to know?

Sorry to be such a dummy on all this, especially considering how long I've been vaping, but I just don't know much about it.
