New dripper, needs advice

[DarklyNoon]

Hey all...

Since I started my journey along the vaping path around four months ago, I've primarily been using cartos and tanks to get my fix.

Lately I've been wanting to try some new flavors, but feel I should get into dripping for this endeavor as it wouldn't be fun to waste cartos on juice I may or may not dislike. Had a few failed attempts at dripping early on and decided to put it on the back burner.

To the drippers out there, what would you all recommend as a decent dripping setup for my Provari?

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest a joye 510 atty with standard resistance possibly even high resistance. Add any basic drip tip. Just don't flood the thing. Less drops is more.

I still have a couple of those left over from my original ego kit. They have bridges, will that be a problem?... I've heard of debridging for dripping, but really don't know much as to the how or why.

 

[AttyPops]

I 2nd the standard atty.

There is a cheat. If you don't plan on dripping a lot, or want to practice... use the plastic cart that comes with the atty. Just remove the foam and maybe trim a mm of the end of the plastic.

You'll have to remove it to drip. However... 1) no drip tip needed. 2) It helps stop juice-in-mouth if you flood it (and new drippers often do). If you decide you like dripping, get a couple of drip tips.

Debridging is way over-rated IMO. Others think it's the greatest but... for me it's meh. The thing is that the bridge, mesh and wicks are there to hold juice. That's what they're built for. So drip on em. They help hold onto juice. It's fine.

Blow out the atty. Prime with 4 drops. Vape a bit. Getting dry? 3 drops...vape...3 drops...vape...3 drops....

I tried the de-wicking and de-bridging and it really did nothing for me at all.

Yeah, I already have a few drip tips that I use for my carto tanks, so that's all set.

Guess I'll blow out this old atomizer and see how she goes.

I would go with the dual coil 510 atomizer from COV New COV Dual Coil Atomizer 2.5 ohm I absolutely love these on my ProVari. I also like 306 attys with glass tips or a DCA setup.

 

[DarklyNoon]

Thanks for the advice people. I broke out the Joye atomizer and wow, now I understand why people drip... So clean and tasty.

Guess I just needed to understand vaping a bit more to fully enjoy dripping. The last time I tried it was about a week in lol.

Do yourself a favor and get a Phoenix RBA. Much better than a regular atty.

 

[DarklyNoon]

I was looking at those on GV. The only thing holding me back is the release of the Vision Eternity just around the corner, which would satisfy both my tank and dripping habits.

 

[DarklyNoon]

Ok, I broke down and ordered a Phoenix RBA from Clouds Of Vapor... Decided I don't want to wait for the Eternity to drop, but I'll be getting one of those when they do lol.

I bought a good quality atty about 3 weks ago, but didnt have good luck with it at first. It either had a burnt taste, but when I added a couple more drops, it was now flooded!

So tonight I broked it out again, and blew out the juice that was still inside it all wrapped up in carto condoms, and then I added 3 drops of juice and vaped it, and it worked out well! I was using it on my Lava Tube variable voltage device, and since its a low resistance atomizer, I only cranked it up to 3.7 volts.

I was able to quickly sample 6 juices that had been steeping. All I had to do in between juices was to unscrew the atty from the Lava tube each time I was done sampling a flavor, but leave the drip tip on it, and blow out the excess liquid with my lips on the drip tip blowing the liquid through the little holes on the bottom of the atty. Then I'd wipe it off real quick, screw it back on, and drip in new juice flavor. That was all it took to get rid of the previous flavor!

I see people adding new juices right on top of drops of the previous juice, and that sounds gross to me! I dont want to mix all these flavors all up!

I use the Phoenix RA for dripping as well. It's great for that.

I've wanted to try these, but I'm concerned that the previous flavor will stick around a LONG time in the cotton.
I've asked about this a few times, but had no replies.

Can you give me your thoughts on that?

 

[DarklyNoon]

Yeah, I've been reading about rewicking with stainless steel, or maybe silica for this exact reason.

I think the only drawback to stainless as a wick would be leaking issues since the stainless wick won't hold fluid... Would basically require the PV to stay upright all the time.

I'm having great luck with this Bulldog (Phoenix RBA clone) I picked up. The factory coil is kicking out some great tasting vapor, and has been doing so famously for two weeks now. Really impressed with this, but as far as portability it's a bit lacking as the airhole will leak everywhere if you keep it on your person.

You can't go wrong having a variety of devices, though. Even if you find something you like better, it's good to have backups in case anything fails. And really, if you're nic beast is getting slain by a $10 atomizer or a $20 tank, who cares? At least you aren't smoking.

 

[DarklyNoon]

Earlier, I was searching the forums to see how leaky the Phoenix is, but didn't come up with much info...

I wonder if there's some kind of rubber stopper that could be used for portability, and removed when vaping...

 

[LongHaul]

Never had a problem with it leaking except when I lay it down with the air hole down.

Just got my Phoenix in the mail today and went ahead and ordered some ss mesh and 36g kanthal (I like a higher resistance).

Love it so far, can't wait to start tinkering lol... Also it looks great on the provari with a ss ming tip!

Wonder why I can't upload a pic...
