Dripping involves actually dripping a few drops of eliquid onto your atomizer and then taking a few toots then dripping a few more drops, etc. You are foregoing any type of filler like in a carto or wicking that would have to occur in a clearo. Dripping generally gives a much cleaner taste to the juice because there is no filtering going on. juice, atty, vapor, flavor. That's all.

Does one work better than the other...?? That's for you to decide. I drip once in a while when at home but primarily use carto tanks and clearos.

I personally do not see the point in dripping as it seems like to much work to just vape. Some people like to do it because they will vape several different juices a day. I would rather purchase another tank and fill them with the different juices so that if I want a change all I have to do is unscrew one tank and replace it with the other. Dripping is where you drip 4-5 drop of the juice of your choosing and vape maybe 3-4 times, or from what I have seen and been told, until you start to get a slight burnt taste and then you repeat the process all over again. I personally do not think this would be a good way to vape for me because I am a fairly heavy vaper and think that I would end up spending hours just dripping, where right now, I can just grab my device and take a puff.

Thats what i wanted to know... Thanks. Most of the stuff is user preference I kust like to get different views and opinions and the try it for myself. So if i have ego-c twist for right now what would i need for it to drip besides the eliquid and drip tip, im asking like specific attachments or what?

I've never used any ego batts myself so I don't know which attys would work specifically on there but what you are looking for is an atomizer that will thread onto your battery. I use an HH357 atty personally but you can pick up much cheaper ones if you just want to give it a shot. I also have played around a little with the Octopus RDA. Neat/Cheap little rebuildable dripper.

I was the same way when I started, wondering about this dripping thing. Didn't really see the point. I now drip every chance I get. Much better taste and it makes it easy to lower your nicotine levels. I only us carto tanks and evods when I'm on the go now. If I am sitting still, there is a dripping atty in my hand. There are some very nice, inexpensive drippers out there now that work fantastic and hold 10-20 drops of liquid allowing you to vape longer on one fill. RDA's are my choice, but they require some coil building ability. Actually very easy to set up though. JMHO
 
A matter of preference. I started out of the gates pretty fast and got a rebuildable Igo-L and a K-100 so I didn't spend much of my own time on cartos and filling tanks. However, I felt the redundancy of repeating the step to be tiring. I now do the drip mode at home or when I'm at a friend's place or anywhere stationery. I prefer the gennie and tanks for the times i'm out enjoying a few drinks and not losing the rba builds in a taxi or whatnot.

Well I think I will get a atomizer and try it out, just so I can test it and know what I am talking about.

That's you best bet Knight. You have to try it for yourself and see how you like it. We all have our own preferences when it comes to the amazing world of vaping. Good luck on your dripping adventure!!!

I was wondering that myself, but best answer i got....from my own experience.

Pros:
-fresher flavor, it drips straight on then toots your mouth. (could be a mental thing)
-no tank means smaller/shorter set up, more compact in your pocket. You hit the club or walk around without a 7-in PV sticking out
-I use an Igo-W, 10 drops last me a whole session. Session as in a typical analog smoke break. The better dripper atties out there have juice well, so you can over drip, it'll collect on the bottom, then your silica wicks back up. Kinda like a half-open tank.

Cons:
-gotta carry your bottle, another thing to remember. Adds to the pocket list which already include your cell phone, car keys, work keys, batteries, pens, etc.
-Must leave PV standing or juice will leak out.
-with dual/quad coil becoming norm, your batteries tend to run out quicker. I carry 3 18350s daily. At home I just use a phat 3000mAh Samsung IMR
