Hey, im new to vaping and was wondering if you have to use specific E juices when dripping onto an RDA. Will any typical type of juice that goes into a clearomizer style tank work with a dripper? My local vape shop said they only had like 4 flavors out of all the ones on their shelves that would work with dripping, plus my friend told me i couldnt just drip any juice in an rda. Now im confused and apprehensive towards buying any juice. Could someone clear this up fore me :confused:? lol

thank you in advance!

I don't see why you couldn't use any e-juice on a rebuildable dripper. Most folks find that they have to drop the nicotine level in their juices once they get into rebuildables. So maybe that's what those people were saying.

Since I've been dripping I've dropped from my usual 12 mg nic down to 0mg or 6mb nic. E-liquids with a lot more Vg than Pg work best too, IMO. Heck, I've even been vaping straight 100% flavorless vegetable glycerin; it has a sweetness to it which ain't all that bad.

I think its just a misconception that goes with rebuildables and cloud chasing. To get the biggest clouds you need unregulated mods with as close to 100% vg as you can.

Higher the VG = more clouds
Higher the PG = more throat hit

There are some people that have PG allergies though and VG is more "natural"

For cloud chasing you want as high of VG as you can get for density and PG would give you less vapor production and if using nicotine can give you more of an unwanted TH. Chasing clouds with a regulated device is....ummm I don't know safer but usually not used since most regulated devices can't support low sub ohms and most do NOT output enough watts. If someone wanted to they could spend $400 on a GI2 or GI v2 and crank it up to 100 watts or 150 watts, which for many people is overkill, but still wouldn't be enough for the hardcore cloud chasers out there.

im probly gonna go for 50/50 blends at 6mg at first. I'll have to see if drippers can still satisfy my want for flavor/th with high vg juices.

I want big clouds tho, so ill be sub ohming, but im gonna have to find a reasonable balance that doesnt utterly destroy my juice supply. I can see myself spending $30-50 a week on juice on a super low res setup. That is unless i get cheaper juice online. Madvapes looks like it has some good offers.

I suppose you can use any juice in a dripper, altho a hi nic juice with a low ohm build on a mech might be a bit hard to inhale. You can always purchase just about any juice with low nic levels if you wish. I sometimes will do 36 nic in my Stillaire on the 26650 panzer for a serious head rush and cough attack :)

Juice blends, ratios and nic levels are more of an personal preference thing than an rba thing.

Finding "MY Preferred" VG/PG ratio is one of the most frustrating things a new vaper goes through, and usually just the first frustrating things about vape that happen along the Vape Trail:D

When it comes right down to it, once on the rba path, one learns how to wick, build and adjust accordingly, no matter what juice one prefers.

I quickly levitated to high VG juice, found High PG to harsh. Mix at 70-80 VG now. and use all recipies in both drip and tank rba's. Some juices will go through flavor, throat hit, and juiciness changes as ones watts vaped at increases. And as ones knowledge, skills, and inventiveness increases, will find that what once was viewed as Vape fraking out of you mind no way, becomes second nature.

Every one is different, so what is purrfect for me may be, like crap no way for you. And this is both the best and the worst part about vaping.

There is just so many ways to get ones vape on, and everything effects everything, every step along the vape process. So one issue or problem can come from a number of reasons. but all cause similar symptoms.

What I love about that, is once in understanding of whats going on, everything can be customized and tweaked to get the vape just for you. Can take vape as far or little as one wants. And trust me, the longer one vapes the more one's wants change and grow:D

The best advice given to any new member or person interested in vaping is sit back, get a beverage and vape of ones choosing, put on your reading glasses, check out all the sub forums about vape and become aware what is vape possible. The best vape decisions come from an informed position. But all have to start some where, and it is a very progressive hobby like any other sport or hobby enthusiast.

Most usually do drop their nic levels when dripping or vaping at high watt outputs. Reason being, get way over nic'd and a bit loopy when vapping that much nic delivery. I'm down to 12 mg, where used to be at 24. Many go down to 6 mg nic or 0, specially the big showboat cloud blowers, where that their primary focus.

Everything in vape also is very pertinent to what ones vape goals and future vape desires are.

Trust me, there's a lot more confusion to wade through before and clarity comes to mind, and that's when the fog sets in, or something like that.



Vape long and Prosper.!!!
