That's funny!
And a nice build too!My drippers are my lowest maintenance gear. Better flavor. Coils last forever (2 or 3 months). Rewicking is super fast and easy. I can change flavors as often as I like for
worth of cotton instead of a $2 - $5 coil. And, like others above said, it's a hobby thing. That's the great thing about vaping though. There are a thousand different options and you can find what works for you and roll with it.

I get a little sick to my stomach thinking of vaping being all one way. And while I was a carto user back in 2010/11 (so no offense to them), thank gawd some of them didn't win when they were saying, "dripping is dead!"
One real simple of way of looking at it is this: turn to your eliquid stash. Say hi. Now look at your vape gear. If all you have is tanks, you are more than likely not able to vape out of your own stash as freely as a dripper. Of course that is assuming many (if not most) people have more bottles of eliquids than mods/toppers, but if you have drippers you can vape any and every single one of those flavors whenever and as often as you want. Lovely.
It should be a both/and not and either/or. But if you don't have a wide range of taste in eliquid and you vape 1-10 flavors, it may not matter much to some to have 1-10 tanks. I got far too many flavors to try and buy a tank for each. Crazy to even think about.

It is easy. I got this huge pack of Japanese cotton pads that I just trim a slice off of. I hold the RDA under hot water, burn the coil for gunk, insert wick and drip. It is just a part of the routine.
Yup.
I have 9 toppers in daily rotation (RDA's, KF's, Gennys), each with a difernt flavor in them. Variety is the spice of life.
How much are you spending for those replacement heads?
I spent $6 for a role of wire three years ago!

It's rare when I type out "LOL" that I actually mean it literally. I just literally laughed out loud. For real! Hilarious.
Well I'll take it a step farther, and really let you have a laugh.
Since I wrap my own coils, and DIY my own liquids, I don't spend anything to vape anymore. I already have enough stuff to last a good long time.

Yeah, but can you can back up those claims by making me happy? Oh wait, you don't have to!

even if people at the vape meets are producing onky average flavour on their builds its still 100% better than sub home clearo flavour
Honestly I think that many of the folks who insist that dripping is the only way to vape must not have very active lifestyles. Lots of doofing around all day long with a mod in one hand and a bottle of juice in the other.
I thought the tootle puffers were sorta geeky with their tiny little powerless puffer things, but reading this thread I'd say now that the dedicated drippers win the crown.
My opinion.

I agree...SQUONKING is the only way to vape! Everyone is is just doing it wrong.
By the way...what's the point in throwing out all that negative judgement. You're right here with us on an ecig forum....you must have an extremely active lifestyle and you're obviously not geeky at all.
Have fun wicking that build and just puffing casually without having to constantly attend to it.
exactly dripping was the start of the evolution from vaping cartos. after that it became the muscle vehicle of vaping, sure there are more convenient things, tanks that can fairly reproduce some of the aspects of dripping, but dripping will always be the most pure way of vaping...
with that said squonking is a different animal, it's not trying to mimic or outperform the dripper, as it uses the very same dripper and adds the convenience of a tank to it
I am a tootle puffer with 20 some tanks the most I paid for any of them was $4.00. 20 of them were $2 for Evods and T3's. I found a place where I can get Evods for $1.50, but already have plenty.
I have a tank for every flavor and I rebuild my coils. I can also rewick an evod about as quick as one can rewick a dripper. I spent under $10 for a year or more worth of cotton and wire. I bored out the air holes for a decent vape. I also have 1 dripper I use for testing flavors in my DIY.
I vape on the cheap and use tanks except for testing flavors. Squonkers do interest me though.
Lol.
Did you just call us lazy?
I think it's the other way around.
Some folks are fine with having life on auto pilot, some people like having more control.
Building a coil or changing a wick might be a chore for some, it's less work for me than packing a tobacco pipe, and the experience is so much more rewarding.
A prebuilt coil-type tank on a mechanical is like having a automatic transmission in a Ferrari. Such a waste of potential.
Each to their own.
Some people like a top-down sportscar, some like to ride in an air conditioned Camry.
I remember dripping way back when cartridges were the thing you put on top of an atty. People had to mess with poly-fill, blue foam, and pyramid tea bags. I found a post here on ECF saying to dump all that stuff and leave your cart empty, just drip a few drops into the atty and vape away. It really was amazing. Then I found squonking and REOs, the rest is history.

I may be wrong, but it appears to me that this thread is saying dripping is pointless. So any arguments coming from drippers is a retort, not the other way around.
"Lot's of doofing around all day...", is one way to look at it, but that's not how it is. No more "doofing" than having to adjust wattage, turn on a mod or (like we most here used to do) carry a lighter AND a pack and having to go through the trouble of actually lighting the cig to get smoke to get our fix.
Am I missing something? Is there some auto-vape device that does not require any interacting with an object? And I imagine if a dripper does have a very active lifestyle, they are either a) going to use a tank during those times, or b) find a way to manage walking and putting a piece of gum in their mouth. Yeah, many people with active lifestyles are pretty used to being, well, active.
p.s. There's a such thing as squonking and even just carrying small bottles too. This notion that drippers must be walikn' around with 10x60 mL glass bottles, dropping them and such just to drip some flavors is kinda doofy. Drip and go. Simple.

i do both as well, and ive found out that dripping and tanks both bring out different flavors... the tanks bring out more of the cream/cookie ect flavors whereas the dripping brings out the fruity flavors.... this is just something ive noticed in my vape travels
