RDA do you drip by the drip tip or remove the cap

[DangVape]

Kind of a nonessential question since I don't think it matter much. People with rda do you drip by the drip tip hence the name drip tip , or remove the top cap and drip.

I tend to remove the cap so I can look at the state of my wick then saturate the whole thing. But sometime I just drip by the drip tip less stuff to remove. Then again it's not hard to remove the cap and be sure everything is fine and dandy.

What your preference? It's just a conversation starter since I'm a bit bored and slightly curious.

 

[dcfluegel]

i generally remove the cap and fill 'er up

 

[thomas l]

generally drip thru tip if wide bore

I remove the cap; the Achilles holds so much, but I need to make sure I don't go over the level of the top of the airhole-stack. This also shows me if the juice at the bottom of the well is darkening, so I can just dump it and refill with fresh.

That depends upon the RDA ........ With my atty I must remove the cap as the juice has to be placed inside in a very particular way because of the way my atty is structured.

I usually drip through the chuff tip of my Troll. I don't have needle bottles so I would not do that on a narrower tip. I don't want juice hitting the side of the tip. When I drip through the tip I tend to drip more often with fewer drops since I have no clue what I;m doing down there

In the midst of a dripping session, I usually pull the drip tip and drop through the hole, saving me the trouble of aligning the air holes with the coils again. Once a day or so, I take the cap off and check my wicks and so forth. But then, I don't drip a lot-- I am tonite, for a change-- so I'm probably doing it wrong.

I drip into tip. Most of the RDA's I own have a wide bore. I re-wick once every two weeks. Of course it also depends on the juice I am using.

 

[dbrandt01]

I drip through any drip tip, whether it be wide bore or a 510 drip tip. You learn how many drips are needed to saturate the cotton. I never remove my top caps, not even on a squonker.

Depends on the RDA for me. Doge with a regular drip tip = pull the top cap off (leave the middle section on, duh) and drip like that. I like being able to see how my coils/wicks are doing, and whether they're already saturated (if I put my vape down for a while).

With a wide bore drip tip = just drip straight down that mutha-jawn. You can usually see straight through to the cotton/coils so it's pretty much on par with pulling the whole thing off.

 

[vapinglo]

I usually just pull the the cap off to drip unless it's a really tight fitting one then I just pop the drip tip out and drip through there

 

[Grimwald]

With my baby boomer eyesight, yeah, I remove the drip tip to drip...unless I have my reading glasses on, and even then, my aim isn't that good. Same reason I lift the toilet seat.

 

[Jimi D.]

I drip thru the tip, and let er rip

 

[Dextrose]

I usaly drip right through the tip, but then most of my RDA's have the monster bore chuff

It mostly depends on the type of RDA you are using. If the RDA has bottom airflow with air-vents under the coils, more caution needs to be used when dripping. Additionally, if the juice well is somewhat shallow, caution will be needed with these types of RDAs as well. I use a Freakshow Mini and a Mutation X V4, both of which are known to be leak machines but flavor chasers. It's a trade off. The big cloud RDAs are usually the more leak resistant while the flavor-chasing RDAs with the airflow underneath the coils tend to leak if you are careless or impatient while dripping. After a couple of builds on each I experience minimal leaking and great flavor. To get to your question though, I generally take off the cap and paint the wicks. I'm slowly learning my limits for each RDA though and I'm finding if I angle the tip of the juice bottle in at a slight angle through the drip tip, I can fill up the juice well without any leaking through the airflow or sides of the top cap.

 

[Steven G]

For me I take off the cap.

 

[edyle]

both.
depends.

after awhile you get to know your rda and don't need to check the wick as often

You will get use to the right amount of drops, try the
Aeolus you won't need to worry so much about over dripping...... right through the tip, no need to to take the top off.....
