Not odd for a vaper
I still suggest getting your favorite looking drip shield and a 510-510 adaptor to use it with a 510 atty. Love those things.

Long time direct dripper here, going on 4 years next month. I use Joye 510s and 306s both regular and LR depending on the device I'm using. I've tried all the possibilities along the journey and find it disrespectful to my favorite e-liquids when I use them in a non-drip capacity. =)
I get a kick out of the folks who feel dripping is; "such a PITA". C'mon, man. We're all ex-smokers or smokers still. Did any of us complain about reaching for a Bic lighter to light an analog? Was that sooo much of a PITA that we looked for an alternative? Here's a sentence I never heard uttered... "Cigarettes should automatically light up when I take the first drag. It's such a PITA to strike a Bic". LOL How is dripping any different from that? Other than a long drive, dripping is easy-peasy. There is this fallacy floating around that there is this HUGE learning curve to drip. That's utter nonsense.
I have a theory about the RBA folks who turn cartwheels over their new vape citing the differences in flavor, TH and vapor. I think many of these people came into a cartomizer world as a first purchase. When they wrap their new coils and build their RBAs they are, in essence, experiencing their first direct drip. I have a couple of RBAs here that I havent gotten around to building yet but I can't see how they would be head and shoulders better than an old school direct drip. Better than a carto? Sure. Better than a clearo? Sure. Both of those involve filler material or a silica wick. From where I stand (sit?) that's material *in between* the liquid and the coil.
So far, I have steered clear of the "w" word (wicking) in my vaping. I like my liquid to vaporize directly on a hot coil sans all sorts of tinkering/drilling and generally re-inventing the wheel. It's so frustrating when a device is inconsistent and results in dry hits due to lack of *wicking*. Conversely, I KNOW exactly when my atty needs a refueling. I can taste it the second I start to drag on the drip tip. It's second nature.
One more point that isn't recognized. I've found that I use LESS liquid dripping as compared to those rare times that I fill a DCT or most recently a Vivi Nova. Perhaps, I'm more satisfied from a direct drip and use it less? I dunno. But, I use less, that's for sure.
Oh, I use drip shields. I'm not sure why I do, but I do. I suppose it's a security blanket. At day's end when I charge my batts and blow out my attys to ready them for the next day's use, there is very little e-liquid inside of them. Similar sitch with the eGo cone which is the forefather to the drip shield for those keeping score. =)

Where do y'all find attys at I've only seen the ones that where on the old blu three piece setup. I don't know what I'm looking for like that I can put a drip tip on. Also how easy is it to put different juices in a atty. sorry but this way sounds fun I'm getting sick of one flavor a day. Thanks for your help.
Exactly. I just can't understand why people don't see the correlation.
And a theory is all that is.
You could start with Avid Vaper. Select attomizers. Then go to 510. The 306s fit 510 batteries too. Standard reserve is usually the better way to go in my opinion. Low reserve can be a little finicky for a variety of reasons and really doesnt seem needed for atties. I have three sleeve i never use. I wanted to make it pretty. They are a pain, some drip tips dont set right with them . They are a little too long and some are so tight and then you mess up the atty getting them off. I suggest waiting on the sleeves. They arent consistent from one kind to the next and then you can concentrate on dripping and getting to know when the next hit will be too dry. An easy remedy for over dripped is to fling the extra out the end. Outside or on to a paper towel. Some times i over drip and shake/fling/whip whatever just because ive lost track where im at with it. Different juices, different number of drips too. Sounds complicated and its not. I love love the pyrex drip tips v2 at The Ecig. It looks like a couple there but select those and a bunch choices come up. They have a longer neck...not squat. They have fit everything ive put them on so far. Ok. I could write a bunch of stuff. You wont be disappointed with the standard reserve Joyetech 510 with a v-2 pyrex drip tip. Be sure they are true Joyetech and buy 2.
What a fantastically splendid post! Sheesh. I wish I'd written it, maybe except for the theory, though it is likely true in a lot of instances.
Dripper here!! I drip and only drip, everywhere I go! Got sick and tired of tanks and carts and BLAH!!
I am currently searching for a good 510 3ohm for my new puck mod- only suggestions I have gotten from anyone was...
RBA's 0_o
No. Not what I'm lookin' fer.
Glad to see I'm not alone!!

I'm learning a lot. Do you drip through the drip tip or pull it out each time. Wow the hh357 is made to vII specs sound amazing.
I don't remove the drip tip when adding liquid. Now that WOULD be a pain for me to do, and I'd probably wind up having to replace o-rings on my drip tips a lot more often.
It all depends on what kind of drip tip you have. Not all drip tips are, uhh, drip tips. It happens for me in no time flat. Soon as I feel the atty low, I slip my lips over my teeth, clamp down on tip and remove; drip, drop, drip, drop and replace tip--press button and inhale. Never once replaced a single o-ring and I rock one PV with one tip.
As far as ecigs are concerned... the biggest bottom line... is what is right for one person is not what is right for another. Even with those of us that are mainly drippers, everyone is different. With the posts that I have read I don't think there were two individuals that were using the same configuration.
So, this is something we vapers should remember... everyone is different and what is right for one person is probably not what is right for another.
Me, I started dripping on my BLU atties less than a month after getting my original BLU with carts, which was a disastor. This out of desperation and before realizing that dripping was something that a lot of people out there did.
Continued dripping (along with using my Eluma which at least worked), for around 6 months but then switched to boge cartos (on egos) because, most of the juices I vaped were clogging up my joye 306 sr atties, some in as little as 3 ML and most not lasting more than 6 ML.
But, I ultimately got tired of the 'cardboard' underlying taste of the boges.. and got some drip tips and, on my main vape and a couple of others, I can go a month or more without the atty clogging so went back to dripping on those.
But, then there was still all the OTHER juices I had and, good grief, went a big way on vision clearos back last September because you could replace the atties in them for just around $1.60 so, the idea was I could handle that from a cost perspective and would be able to vape all those other juices I had again. But, with the vision clearos, if you don't vape the clearo regularly then the juice in it tends to get stale.
Then, I learned how to dry burn from watching a few youtube videos and, big difference. Now I can drip with any juice, including the cafe mocha that clogs after only 3 ml, and then just replace the atty and throw the clogged attie (well, I usually stop now before the atty is completely scabbed over) in the wash and when I get 4-8 of them in the wash (vodka or rubbing alchohol), it is time to dry burn and then a final clean with a ultra-sound cleaner and cleaning vinegar.
I mainly use cisco bridgeless 306 1.5 and 2.0 ohm on egos and ego-twist.
One problem I have with dripping though, is it is mainly a sit-down vape, and I did most of my cigarette smoking standing up and, typically, pacing. Right now trying joye 306 batteries with boge 306 2.0 ohm cartos (but then the cardboard taste) and, better believe it, joye 306 sr atties with... carts (lol). Yeah, the carts run out of juice real fast and then you get burning. So, not sure what I am gonna do about vaping while pacing... might try the clearos again for this (have some cotton wick).
I have no interest in RBAs. One reason, all the RBAs that I have seen are for 510 and I am mainly a 306 user. Also, it is easier to do a wash of from 4-8 atties when they need it as opposed to having to roll another coil everytime it is time to make a change with an RBA. But, to each their own on this. Yeah, maybe this is why they don't make any 306 RBAs... because you can see the coil of the 306 atty and thus they are much easier to clean than 510 atties.

Try pacing with a eRolls Im never shy about recommending them. Those little atties do great if your juice is thin enough.
The drip tip is made for dripping without removal.
That's the whole point of it.
Removing it to drip is just doing it wrong.

Shoot, I've been doing it wrong for a couple years then. Seems to vape just fine though

Wrong? There's that word again. I'll say it again, not all drip tips--though the term is a misnomer--are made the same (is that needed to be stated?) and my tips channels are too small to use for straight dripping. Plus, I'd rather not put juice directly where my mouth is--though there is nothing wrong with that for the next vaper--it's just not for me. The only person doing anything wrong, it seems to me, is the one that takes a drag on the wrong end of the PV.
I drip on my coils (or bridge, if the atty has one)--now that's where the juice is supposed to go.

what's the expected lifetime of an atty going through 3ml of juice a day? I just rinse with hot water every night before I put it away, no dry burning or alcohol.
