Well, the other day I converted one of my standard round 510 cartridges into a drip tip by using my dremel to drill out and grind out the entire center of it making it essentially a hollow tube. The two small air pockets are still on the sides, but they are mostly pressed closed, and don't seem to cause any issues.
Well, that got me started on dripping with my new 5v passthru mod I had made a few days ago, and then I saw a video on dripping with a bridgeless atomizer. This really is a great way to vape if you like strong hits, lots of flavor and tons of vapor. I was truly amazed at how much more powerful each vape is with the bridge structure, mesh and wick removed. This allows you to drip straight onto the nichrome coil, and it is fantastic. At 5v the vapor is not much warmer although I have heard that at 6v the vapor can get a lot warmer and some people do not like that I guess.
There are plenty of videos on how to remove the bridge on youtube. It is incredibly easy to do with a 510 atomizer. You just use a pair of tweezers to push the mesh off of the small aluminum bridge structure, then use the tweezers to grip the structure and wiggle it back and forth and it will end up sliding right out. Then you pull out the bridge mesh but don't rip it out without care because you could potentially break the atomizer coil contacts. Once the bridge structure is removed, you should be able to pull out the now loosened mesh without too much force. Sometimes the mesh around the edges of the tube comes out, sometimes it does not, but this does not matter very much. Just pull out that part of the mesh that used to be the arch. This allows your drips to go straight down to the atomizer. Pulling out the wick is very easy now as well. Just slip it right out with almost no effort at all.
Be careful not to flood your atty now that there is no mesh or wicking material. Do this at your own risk! It is possible to break your atty doing this if you are too forceful yanking on the mesh or the bridge structure underneath it. WATCH one of the videos, there are several of them. I use 510's though, and on the 510 it is easy.
Hope you drippers are trying this, it is a big improvement IMHO.
