RDA New to dripping. Mutation x v3

[rowsley]

Just received my mxv3 in the mail. I just did dual coils 26g 9 wraps on 2mm using coil gizmo at .5 ohms wicked with cotton bacon. Its on my I stick 50w and its vaping super nice at 50w, producing tons of vapor, and actually very good flavor. My newbish question as far as dripping goes. I'm getting about 6 nice big hits and I can tell when the next hit is gonna be a dry hit, but how many drops do you drip in there?
Do you just want the wicks saturated or do you want to see that plus liquid in the chamber?

Thanks for any input.

In any dripper you want to saturate your wicks, any more than that and you run risk of low vapor production (until vapes off), leaking, excess spit back. Some devices you can get away with having a little extra in the well, but not all.

Cool thanks for the reply.

The Mutation V3 is one of the devices you can get away with it. It has super deep wells.

 

[rowsley]

Thanks. It does have pretty deep wells

Thanks. It does have pretty deep wells

I run a single coil Tugboat V1. I saturate my wick and then drop a few drops on the empty side

Thanks I'm finding its holding quite a bit. Good juicy hits when it nice and saturated.

Ye, if you're going to drip you'll have to get used to that it literally burns through the juice... the flavor and vapor production compensates that (imho)

I just ordered one myself. Can't wait to get it!

 

[rowsley]

I have no complaints. I love it. My first RDA, so I can't compare.

Good question rowsley. Something I've questioned as well since I'm new to RBA'S. Thanks to all who have responded to this.

how many drops you put in there depends on your wicking for one thing.


I padd a lot of wick on my rda's like I'm making a carto.

On my 30mm veritas I never add less than 20 drops at a time;
If I'm using my 30mm magmas I'd easily add 30 to 50 drops.

But my 22mm magma on the other hand, I might only add 4 or 5 drops at a time ; yep - 8mm of diameter makes that much difference.

 

[rowsley]

Thanks for the reply. I've had it for a few days now and have been getting used to dripping more. Pretty easy to tell when your running dry to save you from a dry hit just by the taste. I appreciate the response.

So the IStick 50 Watt fires it really good? That's what I'm using on my Kanger Subtank Mini.

 

[rowsley]

Yeah I run it at 50w on my istick

 

[TheBigE]

Nice! sounds like you got it down rowsley. I like my tanks but I always seem to go back to the RDA's the flavor just can't be beat. You're right about six good pulls and I can start to taste the cotton. That's when I know it's time to drip. Autobio is right on -just saturate the wick. I've found the same leaky issue if dripping in too much juice.

 

[rowsley]

I really like my tanks too. 2 goblins and 2 subtank minis. Problem! Is I need a cpl more Isticks or something. I haven't taken the RDA off since I've got it.

How's the v3 in the flavor vs clouds department? I almost got a v1 when they came out but read it was a cloud chaser and got a Magma instead (which has now been blown away by my Derringer). The Mutations price is rad for an authentic.

 

[rowsley]

Everything I've read before purchasing, people saying its for clouds, and a lot say flavor is great too. Like I said before this is my first RDA, but I'm getting the best of both. Definitely produces the clouds and for me the flavor is awesome, especially when its nice and saturated those are super juicy hits, and of course it will start losing flavor as you run out but, i'm loving it.

As a rule I always redrip after five pulls
