newbie question

[angry-amy]

new to vaping, first order from ms t's came in tonight. i kmow that everyone talks about steeping their juices, and that the truly steeped juices tend to become darker, etc...

but straight out of the box, they are all fairly decent colored... deep colors too.

do they still need steeping?

i just tried it with my drip tip- dripping for the first time and man, it really tastes like caramel apple. straight out of the bottle. but the question is, i am not getting a lot of vapor. i puff puff and get a bunch to come out, but then i inhale and by the time i exhale, i am not blowing anything out. what gives?

[angry-amy]

joye 510 starter kit with aluminum drip tip.

 

[soxdiehard]

Amy,

Dripping is a bit of an art that takes some trial and error. I don't know if this is what's going on or not, but I have noticed the same symptoms when I overfill/flood the atty. It seems different for everyone based on prefs and equipment, but what I have found is this: about 5 drops in a dry/blown out atty to get it primed. Take 3 or 4 long slow drags, top off with about 3 drops. From there I add three drops when the flavor seems a little burnt. Right before the burnt flavor there is typically no gurgly sound, and the vapor production is pretty high. I tend to run on the slightly flooded side most of the time so I get a nice gurgly sound. There is also more potential for leakage around the bottom of the atty when you flood it.

Of course if you happen to be using a brand new atomizer, that could be the problem as well. They all need a break in period of (typically) a day or less before they really start to put out. I don't know if any of this helps you or not, but I thought I would give it a go. Once I got a good feel for dripping, I never went back to carts! It really lets Ms T's great flavors come through.

that seems to be working a bit better now, i think there was a break in factor. i dont know for sure yet though.
can you tell me though... does dripping use your juices up faster? as in, you go through more via dripping vs. carting?

You'll go through more juice because you'll be getting more vapor. If you're not, there's either too much or too little juice in your atomizer. It's kind of a pain in the beginning when you're getting used to it.

Then again, if you're using something with a huge cart like the eGo cylinder atty, you'll be getting loads of vapor and going through alot of juice as well.
