Regular Atty Drippers (A Dying Breed?)

[Mr.Mann]

I think many end of looking into attys though. I came in with the cig-a-like to ego to Vamo route you mention... sticking primarily to clearos, mostly evods.

I picked up a glass tank to give cart tanks a shot, and I ended up trying out a dripping atty so I could vape a juice without commiting to an entire tank of it... Generally speaking, new vapers don't have a large library of juices, so dripping doesn't really appeal much. But, like me, as their library grows, they start to see dripping as a something you almost need to incorporate... unless you have a small army of clearos and a good indexing system.

I was just dripping for a bit... got a bunch of new juices in this week... without that humble little atty, it would have taken a long time for me to try them all out. But with that unassuming little tube, I managed to zip through all 9 flavors without much fuss.

I would hate to put a nasty flavor, 1 - 3 mL worth, in ANYthing before I really know if I like it. And even still, no matter how much I like a flavor, I can drop it on the dime in lieu of another.

Thanks. You know, I did get the DID working great, but I couldn't ever get the hit to feel right to me. Huge clouds. Pretty dern good flavor. But the hit, oh the hit.

You should really give the AMP Tank a try since you're sticking with atomizers. I'll sell you my spare. Additionally, bottom-coil silica atomizers have a draw that's much more satisfying to me than Genesis-style atomizer. That kind of tech is advancing at a fast rate, while there haven't been many advancement with dripping atomizers. Part of it is probably the profit margins are so low that it's not worth investing R&D money to experiment with different materials and different designs. It's a shame because improvements can be made, but it doesn't seem like manufacturers or vapers are particularly interested.

Most of the time in-between flavors I just vape unflavored for awhile. But I like unflavored and I'm lazy.

Yesterday the attys I ordered for my husband came. When I explained to him how dripping worked his first comment was that's a lot of work to get a fix. But the more he tried it the better he liked it. What sealed the deal was when he dripped his favorite juice. The day before he was complaining he wasn't getting flavor. After dripping it he said there's the flavor I was missing. Now he's convinced there's something wrong with his tank At work he discovered when he drips 5 drops it lasts the same time as if he was smoking a cigarette.
Once he figured out dripping that's all he's been doing. Another successful convert

At work he discovered when he drips 5 drops it lasts the same time as if he was smoking a cigarette.

That one of the things I like best about dripping.

A lot of people complain that vaping doesn't have a natural end point like cigarettes.
But it does if you drip.


Also, it helps to prevent chain vaping, because you have to decide if it is worth the effort to refill again.
You can't just sit there mindlessly vaping unless you really want to.

 

[Mr.Mann]

If y'all will allow me to get sentimental briefly, I just want to thank all the posters (especially the regulars that hold down the fort) for keeping this thread viable, relevant and most importantly, on-topic! Not only did I not suspect this thread to be so helpful, I didn't expect it to be so pleasant. So for the last part, I guess I also want to thank the multitudes of RBA/clearo/carto/genny users for not trying to proselytize in here.

Having that end point has helped my husbands cravings. He said yesterday he didn't get the cravings he normally gets. I think it had to do with the better flavor and end point making it feel more like an analog.

I know I just started dripping, but big thanks to Mr. Mann for starting this thread and everyone who's kept it going. I've learned a lot here and have passed the knowledge to my husband. Whenever I come across a post wanting to know more about dripping I send them here.

It's not mentioned a lot due to so many people using tanks these days, but the adjustable draw cap on the Precise ELA really turns it into a dripping machine with a nice 510 atomizer.

 

[DC2]

Reasons I prefer dripping to any other delivery method...

1) Provides an endpoint in that you have to drip again if you want to keep vaping
2) Eliminates any inconsistencies/frustrations that come with most other delivery methods
3) Ability to change flavors at any time
4) Provides a replacement "routine" for removing a cigarette and lighting it
5) Maximizes flavor and vapor production

Did I miss any?

 

[DancingHeretik]

#2 and #5 are my main reasons for dripping.

6) Does not waste juice like most systems.

 

[e-pipeman]

Well, for me dripping just works. A 510 strapped to any device with an Ego cone to keep it stable - you can shove it in your pocket and it will just work (you need a 10ml bottle of blackcurrant mix in the other pocket).

I learned to drip with the regular 650mAh Ego that came with my fit kit. With a 1.5Ω atty it was brilliant and I was perplexed by all the raves VV was getting. Granted, it was a Joytech, so only fired at ≈ 3.2/3.3 volts, but that was enough to get me started. (I couldn't really taste subtle nuances of juice at that point anyway.) I finally did get a Twist, which I like very much, but I shake my head every time I read a new member being told that they have to get VV/VW to really be vaping.

Another useful thing is that being able to drip has made learning to use a bottom-feeder a breeze. I squonk in your general direction.

 

[LeoRex]

I'll be the first to recommend VV to be users, but mostly since new users often make mistakes picking resistance... and it lets them take control.

I see plenty of shops that'll put "LR will kill your ego!" all over the place.. so a lot of newer people end up buying way too high resistance stuff and then have no idea why the vape kind of sucks.

But you are right, if you find the right bit of kit, even a little standard ego can give an awesome vape.

I started dripping a couple months ago using a cisco lr306 1.5 on a vea, and thought it was so awsome compared to my halo triton tank. Then I purchased an adaptor so I could use the 306 on my triton vv battery, it was even better.

 

[lprees7]

I started out using the cisco lr306 1.5, and a week ago I decided to try a 510 as so many seem to really enjoy them, but I found them to be very disappointing as far as the amount of vapor on the draw, so I will stay with the 306. Has anyone else had the same experince? I do wish there was more of a variety of drip tips for the 306.

The "killing your eGo" part irks me. I think of myself as an average vaper. I only pay attention to ohms when I'm deciding what to buy, after that, I vape based on taste. I started using LR since I had a regular eGo. I stayed with LR after I got my Twist, so I could switch back and forth with the old battery. The old batteries just had their one year birthdays and are still alive.

I don't wrap coils or anything fancy, so I don't give a flying fruit bat about amps. I charge the battery, vape, it blinks, I charge it again. When it dies I will buy a new one.

Currently, there is a new fun meme making it to the New Members forum. You don't have to pay attention to Ohm's Law anymore, watts aren't important, it's the temperature of the wire you have to pay attention to. I'm not joking, this was posted in a thread in which the OP asked about getting a starter kit. We all know how opinionated I am, but I don't think a New Member should be directed to buy Kanthal until they know the difference between an atty and a carto.

There are a few around. I'm even more limited because my favorite juice is aggressive. I just got some of these from Vixen Vapor, but other vendors carry them. They are made of aluminum, and are shiny, but not a bright iodized finish.

 

[lprees7]

I'll take a look at those, do you prefer the feel of the aluminum over the plastic, or really no difference?

I can't use plastic because of the juice I like. I have regular Cannons from Cherry Vape, but the juice affected the bottom just slightly enough that there is a bit of leaking.

ETA: For my tanks, I use ss, glass and ceramic tips. I've seen ss 306 tips, but they look heavy. I haven't seen them made of any other material.

 

[lprees7]

Looks like they are the standard leangh, I could use at home for dripping, but need the XL for my vmod. Will give one a try. Thanks for the info
