I would love an AMP tank, but they're rather expensive and rarely in stock. There's a good chance I'll be going to vapefest, so hopefully someone will have one there I can play with. I also can't believe that it hasn't been cloned.

I have always been under the impression that bridgeless atomizers hold less liquid.
And if that's the case, you'll get dry hits sooner.
Of course, you said it sometimes happens even when completely wet, so I don't know.
But I just thought I'd throw that out there.
I'm inclined to believe that the Bridged versus Bridgeless atty debate is an apples-versus-oranges kind of thing. Mann loves bridged atties; I love bridgeless and remove the bridges from all mine when I first put them into service. He's right (for him), and I'm right (for me).
Much of the hardware/device wars seem like that. In addition to the largely subjective nature of the overall vaping experience, uncontrolled/uncontrollable/unknown variables affect our judgments of the quality of different devices and play a role in shaping our preferences.
Sure, some PVs/APVs or Juice Delivery Systems do work better than others on what we could call an "objective" basis. The past couple years, however, have produced a remarkable weeding out of the garbage. These days on the forums, and especially in a thread such as this one, much of what we discuss/share/haggle over is less fact or even opinion than it is personal preference.
Even for beginning vapers, the learning curve is much shorter (and easier) now. Years ago, new vapers had to dance through a mine field of lousy equipment to discover hardware that worked well. Nowadays, though, just give any novice an eGo Twist and a decent bottom-coil clearo, and they're set up for a pretty good vape. And at the high end we're now comparing Audi to Lexus and Ferrari to Maserati.
That said, this thread is dedicated to an "old-school" process: atty-dripping. The more things change, the more they stay the same...

I may have moved to rebuildable drippers, and I do like my Kayfun though mainly for on the go, but I still like reading this thread. I could tattoo "dripper for life" and I think it would always apply to me. Maybe in a different context in 40 years though.
After several years of using dripping atties, not dripping would feel like a self-lighting cigarette. More convenient doesn't always mean a better experience. I like my rituals.
So I am a bit peeved - I think my stingray is dead. It's reading 0.0 ohms on my itaste and won't fire up on my spinner. I'm using my 306 on both which is working fine. I'm a bit peeved to say the least, as I just started reaaaally breaking it in yesterday. Today - donezo. But I figured I'd ask if there's any troubelshooting tips y'all have? Ugh.
I agree. The notion of all those variables and personal preferences is what I was attempting to address when I spoke about "how" we vape. I know for a fact that that what I ordered is surely no different than what others have, which is why it can be frustrating when someone gives that device the thumbs-up but I'm left scratching my head after using it (especially when I know it's not the device at fault, but also not necessarily my fault). I often find myself wondering "why does this work for them and not for me" and "why does that work for me and not for them?". I am sure I'll never be able to get to the heart of it (not too many real deep discussions or threads nowadays for regular atty dripping, haha), but I know that the only place I do have to talk about this particular stuff is here.
With the more modern devices, you can go into any b&m worth its salt (not to mention whole forums dedicated to it) and practically take a class on getting something "right" or having the exact same vape as others (not saying it will be appreciated the same though). With these DIY-esque devices (rebuildables), the customization can be extremely fine-tuned and controlled, and with these older (somewhat) set-in-stone JDSs, the way to get something just right takes place more in some idiosyncratic, often unconscious, style of vaping -- but that's often quite difficult to convey unless you're sitting right next to the person watching their every move.

Dripping is an art.
I always thought it was simple, but apparently some people just don't get it.
Apparently some people just can't get a handle on it.
I guess that makes me an artist.

I remember realizing the same thing.
But seriously though, it's not as intuitive as it seems and two atties can require a different approach. I like my approach for r.a.d (regular atty dripping) the way I do it now.It's sealed. Nothing looks different on the bottom. Unless you mean on my batteries?
Oops! Sorry, I was thinking about something else. I think my brain is getting muddled in my old age!
You never know. Try soaking in vodka or PGA for a night. I had what I thought was a dead atty rise from the grave once.

May have finally burnt through the coil...dunno Mine is about 2 months old and been used quite often to test juice that I'm diy'ing, still holding in there though.
I've been running about 2 ml a day through mine for a couple of weeks. Still works fine.
Howdy.
Still dripping here. Even though I am messing with other systems now, I still revert back to regular atty dripping when I need my flavor an that hit/pull that is seemingly only found in this type of way of vaping. I did have a close-enough RDA once, but that was from a bottom airflow, and those are rare.
