Planning on Dripping!!

[DrkEpyon]

Hi there!!

I've been reading about dripping and I would like to Know what should be a good equipment for trying. Now I vape on a eGo-C Upgrade VV & a CE5+. Are the fittings a standard for batteries? Does this model has a overload protection? (sorry I'm not yet familiar with the proper terms).

Any help will be appreciated.

THNKS!!

Yes the eGo battery protects you from an overload, unfortunatly it does it buy distroying the electronic chip in the switch. Your normal indication if this happens is that your switch will blink 3 times and then nothing. It just becomes time to toss the eGo battery in the trash.
For this reason you don't want to use anything all that fancy. Just stick to normal 510/306 type atomizers on eGo type batteries.

The key to learning how to drip is to not get all mad and frustrated, just remember that there is a learning curve, and it will happen by way of error as much as by trial. You will flood the atty, get dry hits, and probably even pop an atty or two in the process of learning what you can do, and can not do with a dripping atomizer.
For your eGo I would suggest you get one of these:
eGo Drip Shield Cone
one of these
Delrin 901/510 Contoured Drip Tip
And Keith has some pretty good atomizers
Empiremods Bridge Free LR510 1.8ohm

How do you use bridgeless attys? Do you still drip in the center?

Also, good luck! Dripping isn't too hard, really. You catch on quick!

A slight exaggeration, but ROLF! Not too far off tj... Probably not an exaggeration for a dead short, on 2nd thought. So you're right again!

I just use standard atomizers. But to each their own.

Actually that problem started when they came out with the rebuildable CE4+ because you could push the coil over to the side and cause a short when putting them togeather. There were a lot of eGo bats bite the dust. Then came the Novas that pushed the center pins down shorting out the bats. Now folks want to use RBA's on them so the problem continues.

EGo batteries work fine when a person pays attention, and does things properly.

Dripping is cumbersome for some but its been my way to vape for almost 3 years. I never minded carrying a bottle of juice. I always thought of it as my lighter to my pack. Out the door check is wallet keys phone cig juice. I was a big cigar smoker and tried every blend of roll your own and package cigarette i could get my hands on. Flavor is big with me, so dripping works best. Side note 100% pg isnt drip friendly, it leaks quickly. 50/50 works well for me. You can use any 510/30, i suggest a cisco spec atty from avidvaper, its a little pricier than a joyetech or slb but its worth it

Well I tried dripping for the first time last night. Basic 510 atty on my ego c battery.

I had to learn how much to drip in without ending up with a mess but I finally got it. I have to say the best flavor I have yet experienced and indispensable for DIY testing.

My question is how do I clean they atty between flavors?

 

[AttyPops]

I would usually just ....blow it out or vape it through. But if you have a particularly strong flavor and want to clean it out:
Do while performance-is-crappy OR old-taste-remains {

...Do while you-think-it-isn't-clean {
......Blow it out.
......perform cleaning-method-routine* ( E.G. Rinse it in HOT/boiling water. Optional soak for a while.)
...} loop/repeat

...blow out from the last rinse to get ready for evaporating stuff
...do a "warm burn" or a drying-burn. Not as hot as a "dry burn". Just evaporate the water or cleaner.
...Don't overstress the coil.
} loop repeat
end

You should clean an atomizer when performance drops. I suggest that you blow it out twice a day to remove some of the "gunk" before it bakes hard. Helps.

* Other methods are ultra-sonic cleaners, denture cleaning tablets (bleck!), lemon juice, ISO alcohol

Hi there!

Been out of the city for a while and couldn't feedback you guys. Got the Dripping Atomizer and even flavors I didn't like at first (i.ex. JC Rainier) taste lot better.

Even changed flavors a couple of times and I only rinsed in warm water, blew through it, new drops in and that's all. Just a little of previous flavor during the first few puffs. I really like this better than tanks and/or cartos.

Thank you all for your comments and recommendations.

What would be a standard atomizer for a 650mAh eGo-K? All the kits I have ordered came with a CE4 Clearomizer (2.4-2.8 Ohm)


UPDATE: I ordered three of these:

Dripping atomizers have the best flavor and vapor production IMO.

Welcome to the world of flavor when done properly. You will never be the same.

Greetings Epyon, if you want a basic dripper that gets the job done on your equipment i recommend a SMOK octopus or squid. I used a squid (smaller version of octopus) on a 350mah ego mini at 1.8ohms and it vaped and tasted better than any iclear16/30, vivi nova, or evod that i have tried. Places that sell the squid often also sell ready made coils/wick if at first you just want to swap and set them rather than building your coils. This small set up would last a good 3 hours before needing a recharge so on your equipment it will last a good deal longer. The squid is like $7 online. I have since moved up to a trident and an immortalizer on mech mods and learning/working on the squid made the transition simple (those drippers are not recommended for your current setup).

Thanks. I look forward to getting them. I've collected quite a few bottles of e-liquid recently and I'm steeping them according to directions I've rec'd here of ECF. Sampling the juice has been a chore using cartos and clearomizers.

Dripping is the best... Until you discover bottom feeding.
