But I am just learning a lot. Someone today suggested I just "drip" while not on the move. Told me it tastes better and that you don't get burnt taste. Sorry for the noob being dumb, but what the heck does this mean. He also said that they are cheap to rebuild, and easy. Please I know this is simple to you guys, but help a guy out. I feel silly.
Ok I know this will sound dumb....

This is an example of dripping. Smoktech RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - Black
You would drip maybe 4to 8 drops in this unit and vape. Once you get the hang of how many drops it holds its really easy. Dripping is not for driving though. I have a similar unit and put 12 drops in to start. After 20 or so vapes I may add another 4 drops. Hope this helps.

I would not advise driving and dripping, its worse than driving and texting. I drip for better taste. You can change flavors with the example one I showed you but I would say you would have to clean it when you want to change. You can also use a dripping atomizer for dripping.
Unlike all the other juice delivery devices, dripping on an atomizer requires both hands, obviously. So you can't drip and drive. Ha! The reason for this is an atomizer can only hold a few drops of juice at a time. You take a few vapes, and then need to drip juice again. You surely can see how this could be dangerous to do while driving.
ATOMIZERS are juice delivery devices not too different from a cartomizer, but have no polyfill in them to hold e-liquid. With an atomizer, one drops only few drops of juice into the atomizer and then vapes it. After a several puffs, a few more additional drops of juice will need to be added to continue vaping. This ritual is repeated as long as the user vapes.
Many vapors prefer to use this method over others, as there is no wicking material involved which may affect the flavor of the juice. Many people also use this method to test out new sample flavors.

It does make it easier to change flavors, but I think the main reason it's done is to get the clearest flavor.
When you use a cartomizer or clearomizer, the flavor might seem a bit dulled because the juice goes through either filler or a wick before it gets to the atomizer. With dripping, you're cutting out the middle man, and getting the juice right on the atomizer.
Dripping and driving don't mix, because when dripping you have to occasionally add more juice. Adding juice= not watching the road.
The one I posted originally is a dripping atomizer with a wick set up. It will hold more liquid on average than what the video Batitude put up for you. They both are dripping pieces but just a little different.
If you're not familiar with dripping I would suggest getting a few standard atomizers. Rebuildable atomizers are fantastic but you make the wick and coil. If you know how to make a coil I suggest getting a cheap rebuildable. Standard atomizers can last quite awhile or live a rather short life. I have some standard atomizers that have been going for well over 4 months with a good cleaning once a week. I have had some quit working after just a weeks use. Rebuildables last until you decide to change the wick and coil. With rebuildables the only thing that stops working is the coil, when that happens you just either install a premade wick coil assembly or build one on your own.
Both are used by "priming" them, put 5-8 drops in them and let them sit for a minute or two then fire away. After dripping for awhile you will know when the atomizer needs more juice, its not uncommon to experience dry hits, burnt hits, both are telling you that its time for more juice, depending on atomizer you're using will be how many drops you add. Also if you put too many drops of juice in it can and will leak, getting juice all over your device. As with anything dripping has a learning curve well worth learning.
I find the hyper-focused, ritualistic behavior of dripping very calming. It keeps me from setting fires.
Here's a link for you: Electronic Cigarette - Atomizers & Cones - 510 Drip-O-Mizer
These are "bridgeless" dripping attys and come in both SR and LR versions. I prefer the LR but don't know what device type you are using. One of these lasts me usually a month +/- of heavy use. You will need a 510 drip tip as well which you can get for a couple bucks.
Good luck!

Awesome thank you. Seeing as how yours last that long, you mind if I ask what type of upkeep you do to it. Cleaning or maintenance.
Oh, and I've read a ton about drippers leaking. How are these with regards to that.
Thanks again.

before jumping into a rebuildable, I would pick up a few 306 attys for dripping. They have a 510 connection and just plain rock for simple dripping. Comes in a variety of Ω ratings.
Examples:
Low Resistance (LR) Atomizer - 306
306 Atomizer, 306 Atomizers | MadVapes
LR 306 Atomizer
306 Atomizers
If you want to jump into a RBA dripper, the IGO-L is a solid and inexpensive one.

Thanks for the suggested links. Do all of these leak pretty bad. That is what I am hearing most withg concern to dripping.
I drip exclusively at home. I've found that
SmokTech Bridgeless Atomizer - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes
that specific atomizer tastes best and holds juice better than the other two I have tried, both standard $5-$7 bridgeless atomizers. It's easy to use and doesn't leak as long as you DON'T overfill it, though you should use a drip shield. Also, I leave my PV "sitting up" on my desk and don't carry it around while in "dripping mode."
Depending on your device, you may need a different size shield. I use an "ego" sized shield on my devices, but all my devices are "ego" threaded.
I wouldn't start out with a rebuildable dripping atty and I've never used a 306. I get good flavor from the bridgeless 510s.
The reason I like the atomizers I linked above is that they have a tiny bit of fluff/wicking in the center and it keeps the coils wetter than the other two brands I've tried.
PS. I have six dripping attys, two from the one linked above, and four from two other vendors. I have not "popped" or ruined a single one in the month+ I've been dripping. This is 4-6 hours of dripping and chain vaping in front of the computer daily. Also, one of the ones got repurposed to my REO and so I'm using THAT (not chain vaping) for 8+ hours daily while at work. Little champions. Now that I've bragged on my attys though, one will pop tonight, bet ya a dollar.
Also, I use the ones I linked (I call them my black ones, the other four are silver) probably 2x as often as the others. Really, they work well for me.
I clean them about once a week by soaking them in everclear and then letting them air dry.

The IGO-L does not leak unless you overload it then set it down on it's side. I guess that holds true for any of them though. If the atty is not sealed on the bottom, over dripping can cause juice to run out the bottom hole.
Check those links and inquire if they are sealed or not. Some are not by design and are used in bottom feed MODs.
