Ok, what is dripping?

[the_vape_nerd]

Hi again.

I have read here what dripping is. But I'm wondering since V4L uses cartomizers instead of atomizers if you can still "drip" with a carto? I see drip tips advertised for sale on the website, but if dripping is adding liquid directly to an atomizer, how is that accomplished with a sealed cartomizer?

Jbankston (sir correct?) the cartos aren't sealed permanently, you can remove the soft cap on them. They have a batting inside that is refillable, the drip tip allows for easier refilling, not for direct dripping like that with an atty....

jbank, on a cartomizer you drip by removing the white mouthpiece and leaving the .... plug and bottom condom on. Just drip where the filler meets the outside wall, at a 45 degree angle and turn slightly every few drops to saturate. Avoid the center hole at all times.

You do not need a drip tip to drip-refill a cartomizer. Drip tips are optional but people do like using them because they get better vapor, or because it feels better than the round mouthpiece, or because they want to match it to their PV, or carto, or LED color. Whether people drip with the drip-tip still attached, we should learn from subsequent replies to this thread.

The drip tip, if used, will replace the white mouthpiece.

I so much hate being a newb here, but what do you mean by the ".... plug" and the "bottom condom"? No offense to anyone intended but this is starting to sound like maybe a gay-porn forum instead of an e-cig one? Ha.

Jbankston sir, buttplug refers to the small silicone plug that's in the battery connection end of the carto (wow cartos have them) when it first arrived, condom is the silicone cap over that....

Thanks guys. I guess this will all make a lot more sense once I actually get my kit. Supposed to arrive today, but we'll see. I'm just so anxious to try it all out.

Don't worry about it JB, and yes it does sound like what you said! Those looking for gay porn may well end up here after a google search!

This image shows 3 .... plugs and 3 upper condoms. Identical Condoms cover the top and the bottom, but the bottoms were removed in this photo.

Don't forget that different carts have different styled condoms, CCarts have no .... plug, only wow carts, so when you get your starter kit you'll get condoms for that style cart ordered. My 2 cents worth of nuttin much, but hope it helps.

You might want to youtube search 'Taryn spin' for drip filling carts, 'condom methods' and of course 'syringe filling', dripping without Tayrn spin is for topping off, number of drops depends on thickness of juice. The drip tip pops off for easy topping off, nothing like an atomizer.

You people are so helpful. Thanks again.

I forgot the cool carts! As Max said, they don't have ....-plugs. The CC condoms have a little nub attached instead. When I refill a coolcart, I still use the .... plug and condom from a wow cart.
