Shouldnt dripping be dead

[kingraptor724]

Seeing that sub ohm tanks have become big it makes me wonder why people still drip? There is none of the hassle of building coils, it holds juice so you dont have to carry around a ejuice bottle everywhere and it can produce the same vapor as rebuildables. My 3 friends drip and I have been using 0.3ohm atlantis v2 and are clouds come out to about the same, a little more for me actually because I have unusually larger lungs than most people but why drip anymore.

One word... Flavor. I haven't met a single sub-ohm tank that can even come close to my Magma for flavor. Plus, many of us enjoy the hobby aspect of building out own coils. Also, changing flavors is a lot easier.

There will always be different preferences. Sub-ohm tanks have definitely changed the market, but they are not the end all be all.

I'd say no. Flavor is good in tankes, but flavor can't be by dripping. Some tanks, but not all can be run as high as an RDA does. There isn't a hassle building coils anyways though? I don't find it to be a hassle though. Tanks are nice, but dripping/squonking will always be ahead of a tank.

Quality RDA clone $10
100ft kanthal. $6
100 cotton balls 1$

Never having to buy another pre built coil ...... Priceless.


Edited to add:

Ever wonder why all the latest tanks advertise themselves as being "just as good as an RDA"?

There's a reason RDAs are used as a benchmark tanks try to achieve.

What ^^ said.

Looking at your post i see clouds are mentioned. Thats cool to look at but really has nothing to do with flavor.

Sub tanks are a niche market just like 150 w mods, sure they are popular but 90% of the owners never touch 150 watts, they want the extended battery life

Oversized clearomizers will stay popular for ease of use, but even then they dont compare to the true rebuildable subtanks like goblins and cthulhu's.


Besides, think you'll find this in a chinese made clearomizer head?

Why buy a subtank when you could of had a v8?

1: sub ohm tanks versus "drip"
what ?
what is the connection?

2: ok so you think dripping is about clouds?

3: why "drip" anymore.
manual control of wicking.

If you vape on a tank taking 1 vape a minute at low power or 1 vape in 3 minutes at higher power you might be fine
but if you find yourself chainvaping occasionally (or frequently) especially at high power and the wicking doesn't keep up, you get the DRY HIT and now you have to either ...... wait......wait.........wait, or maybe you have to rewick.

Methinks there's always going to be the coil factor!

I don't make fancy complex coils but awe man its awesome just to see the pics!

Seems folks have summed it up. The flavor from a well setup quality rda (clone or authentic) can not be matched by any current device with a premade factory coil. I have a Revolt here, .31 ohm dual coil set up with.JOC and 24g N80 and there is simply no way the flavor from an Atlantis 2 even comes close.

I like dripping, and consider it a good replacement for my previous cigarette rituals.
Also, who wants the hassle of refiling tanks?

I drip on an ego at about 7 watts or so. A little dual coil octopus dripper. I use it to test flavors with. No clouds but works ok with a 1.8 30 gauge build in it.
I agree with those not wanting to buy the 3-5 dollar heads for subohms.

I quit dripping a year ago, when I got my first Reo. A Reo, with a bottom feeder atty, offers all the advantages of dripping, without the hassle.

Pack of 5 authentic occs for $10 at FastTech. I'm not arguing just saying. I use the rba too now but $2 occ that last me a few weeks is well worth it.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Squonking is pretty much inverse dripping.

Yeah Fastech. How much over here?

I paid as high as $22 a pack at a local vape shop, ridiculous. I think they're about $15 a pack at a decent site.

 

[Robert Cromwell]

Very few vapers order from Fastech. Several on here do but we are the minority.

I just placed a $66 order. About $120 worth of stuff.

I see dripping as an entirely different thing. It's more of a hobby than a habit. I haven't started building myself, but a local shop built me a .2 dual coil on a derringer which beats my Atlantis v2 as far as flavor. I rewick as needed. I don't pay much attention to clouds but I would say the Derringer wins there too. When I don't wanna mess with dripping I use my Atlantis at home as well.

I drip on my Derringer/Sigelei 150 when I'm on my porch relaxing with a drink and my dog and or my (adult) kids. The wife is NOT into the increased vapor so she avoids that. We swap flavors and have little cloud contests and it's quite enjoyable. I don't see myself competing or anything though.

I used to take my iStick 50w with a Nautilus 1.8 when I'm going out. Now I also alternate with the Subbox mini kit and the Heatvape Invader. Just depends on my mood/what's filled and ready.

I don't think RDAs are going anywhere because they are dependable, cheap and fun. Tanks and replaceable coils also have a place for portability, convenience and stealth aspects.

It's a big market and there's a place for all tastes.
