New to dripping atomizers. Haaayulp!

[Vapo Marx]

Hey guys, I've been happily vaping away with clearomizers for a while but now I've got a bunch of juice samples on the way and I need a better/quicker way to test them. I started looking at the selection of atomizers at Litecigusa (I have other stuff I need to order from them soon) and honestly, I really don't know what I should get. Here's my wish list:

Coil in the 2.5 ohm range - this is the best match to my batteries and pass-through

Easy to clean and maintain

Ability to change flavors with minimum hassle

Inexpensive

808, 501 or eGo thread

I know there's loads of threads about attys here but it's very daunting to sort through all that information. Any suggestions?

A basic joyetech 510 should do the trick for ya. Just a quick rinse between flavors is all you need

If you post your question here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...10-regular-atty-drippers-dying-breed-113.html you should get an answer pretty quick. I got this for my first dripping set up Cisco SR510 2.5 ohm Atomizer + Drip Tip Special - Avid Vaper all I do is blow through the part that screws into my battery to switch flavors. I've been pretty happy with it.

No rebuilding with that? I would love something to sample juices without having to fiddle or commit the juice to an evod

Nope no rebuilds with joye and Cisco atomizers as they're disposable, just a quick rinse or blow is all ya need...
Rba's are a different story tho...
Vape on

No rebuilding, just drip and you're set. It's great for testing different juice. I use it with my eGo Twist at 4 volts.

I plan on drilling out my IGO-L putting a single coil in it and using that as my tester. I'm going to not put that much wick in it so it's really easy to switch flavors.

i use the simple 510 attys to test my juices.....poor a couple of drips and vape away. then soak and rinse and its ready for the next test......you can get a set of 5 for around 10 bucks or cheaper at some places......

I primarily use LR306 attys (they have a 510 connection) and sometimes regular 510s. Nothing fancy. I have a blog about dripping you might find something useful in:

Drip, Drip, Drip…

I just remembered that early in my vaping journey, I made my own dripping atty of sorts by removing the polyfill from a bottom-coil cartomizer. It actually worked pretty well but there was nothing to keep liquid from getting to the battery connections, so I abandoned it.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! You've pointed me in the right direction.

Edit: Apparently, 901 atomizers are also an option since they're claimed to be compatible with 808D-1 batteries.

I use an 808d-1 battery system. A cheap 510 ATTY plus an adapter (less than ten bucks for the two). Put in a couple of drops, vape. Before it goes dry, a couple more drops of liquid. "Flavors" will carry over from one sample to another but you'll get the idea. KISS principle works for me, I'm just not a vaping conno-sewer!

A simple RDA like the Smotech Squid/Phoenix V4. Small, but easy to rebuild. Building a new coil is easy and economical, and you dial in your ohms easily enough to try out variances.

This would also simplify changing flavors. Just change wicks and you have a clean slate

I ended up getting a standard 510 atomizer and believe me, you guys would have had a good laugh if you'd seen me trying to use it. I ended up with juice in my mouth, leaking out the sides of the atty, etc. Lessons learned: use a drip tip (I thought the atty came with one but it didn't) and only add a couple of drops of liquid at a time.

I got kinda disgusted, put it aside and filled a couple of clearos. I'll give it another shot tonight, but I am awfully tempted to pull out the credit card and order a Smoktech RDA, a Phoenix or something like that.

Look at the Ocelot's blog. I had my first dripping atty on It's way, and looked at her blog. She's got pictures and diagrams. Dripping does take some getting used to. I use cartomizers a lot, and compulsively top them off. If you're a tank user, it will take some getting used to.

 

[Vapo Marx]

I did look at the Ocelot's blog but I should have reviewed it again just before trying to drip. The ol' memory ain't what it used to be.

I'm still gonna give the 510 another shot when I get home tonight but I just pulled the trigger on a Smoktech RDA anyway

 

[Vapo Marx]

Eh, still no luck with the 510 atty. I just get gurgling, juice in my mouth and no vapor. The bridge is collecting the juice OK and the coil is firing but I'm at the end of my patience with this thing. I'm just gonna wait for the Smoktech to get here.

Sounds like too much juice. Try turning the atty upside down (without the drip tip on) on a paper towel and tapping in a few times, then put it back on the battery, put on the drip tip and vape it.

ETA: Before you take a real drag, take a cold one (no power). Your should hear a tiny little gurgle (gosh this is hard to explain in words!), but if there is a big gurgle, like through a straw at the bottom of a glass, there is still too much juice in it.

Odd thing.... 901/KR808D-1 Battery to 401 atomizer
901/KR808D-1 Battery to 801/302 atomizer
I've been using a 510 atomizer high resistance atomizer from H.D.V. it was around five bucks. When it floods, I unscrew it and blow the excess into a paper towel. When it's down to a slight sputter from a gurgle give it a go Although I am not really an expert on the subject. It's worth getting used to I.M.O. because and atomizer and a drip tip is a great fail safe. Plan on hording some lol. Good luck Vapo!

One thing I like about using RDAs is you can not only test the juice but you can test it with a certain type wicking to see if it changes the flavor. I have a few juices that taste better from a steel mesh wick than silica but I wouldn't know that if I didn't have the ss mesh coil to test it on.
