Reverse Dripping

[DJ Colburn]

Howdy folks! I just started trying this, and so far I've been getting pretty good results. Just want to throw it out there, and see if anyone else has given this a try.

I'm going to call it "reverse dripping" 'cause I have no idea what else to call it. I got the idea from a youtube video of someone drip-filling a cartomizer. They dripped through the tiny hole in the battery end of the cartomizer. I figured, Hey, if they can do it with a cartomizer, why not a regular PV? Like my 510?

So yea, rather than pull the mouthpiece off and drip onto the atty, I unscrewed it from the battery and dripped into the atty, through the little tiny hole. 2-3 drops is all it takes. Wicked flavorful, pretty easy to do, and it doesn't wear down the mouthpiece. (You folks ever notice that after a while the mouthpiece isn't as snug on the atty? I hate that.) So basically I'm treating the mouthpiece/cart/atty as a 1-piece cartomizer that I'm dripping into.

Oh, and for the record, yes, the cart DOES have filling in it. I like the pyramid teabag.

On that note, someone should come up with 510 cartomizers.

Peace!

Sounds like a way to possibly flood the atty, and/or end up with a short. The whole point in wiping the threads of the atty when you clean it is you don't want juice down that end, as that is where the electrical connections are made to the battery. You're filling up that end of the atty with juice, which sounds like bad news to me. Fortunately, with the sealed manual batteries, the worst you'll do is destroy an atomizer.

If it works cool, but as the last poster said, it sounds like that might ruin the connection. anyway GL with it.

How is it any different to doing the same thing with a cartomiser ?
Loads of people do thatwithoit any problems.

I don't have experience with cartomizers, so I couldn't comment on that, but I've never heard of anyone doing this with a 510 atty, and I've done a lot of reading throughout ECF. I'd think if it was a good idea, we would have heard of people before you doing it, and I can't think of any other reason why it's a bad idea other than you are putting the liquid on the opposite side from the heating element, the side where the electrical connection is made.

You're probably getting better flavor because you're inhaling some unvaporized juice, or what is vaporizing isn't getting as hot because it isn't as close to the heating element as usual.

I pulled the connector out of a dead atty (510) to investigate possible repairs and there is a space there. The wiring connections for the heater were soldered in place for the center post and there was a plate that filled the center of the tube. It holds the atty that you normally see when dripping conventionally. The only problem I see is possible deterioration of the solder points. I was only able to get the positive center post out so far (it's a work in progress).

*blink* this doesn't quite make sense. Nobody had ever heard of dripping, or the teabag, or the screwdriver, or anything like that until -someone- thought of it -first-. Just because nobody's posted about it before makes it a bad idea? I feel bad for everyone in the modders forum then

You're dripping on the opposite side from the heating coil. The heating coil is what vaporizes the juice. What doesn't make sense is why this would ever be better than dripping on the bridge of the atty. It does, however, make sense that you're getting more flavor. Juice is vaporizing farther from the heating coil, so it isn't getting as hot and therefore you get more flavor. Same reason 901 atties put out more flavor but less vapor than 510's, they don't get the juice (and resulting vapor) as hot.

Maybe you won't have any problems dripping with this method, but I stand by my earlier comments, that it maybe could cause problems with the electrical connection, or could even restrict airflow through the atty.

have you ever openned an atmy ? if so you should know that it can't work, cartrige are differents, perhaps somebody with a better englisg than mine could expand this

My understanding is that liquid dripped onto an atomizer bridge, or wicked up from a cartridge, travels down to the mesh that surrounds the ceramic coil pot. And from THERE it is pulled into the coil as you inhale, where it can be vaporized by the coil itself.

So with that understanding, I don't see any reason this should not work unless there is something that prevents the juice from getting to the mesh when coming from underneath. I have never opened up an atomizer, so I don't know if there is or not.

But I can definitely see this as being something no one ever thought of doing before.

 

[JinniVapour]

It's an OK idea for the 510.. but too much of a hassle than filling the cartridge and putting it back on

And the least hassle of all is the Direct Drip Cart Mod.
And I love using the rubber pen grip for a mouthpiece, very comforable.

Hm... what is this "direct drip card mod" of which you speak?

It works great. I use it a lot, myself.
