I've learned that the carto needs to be an 808 style for this to work. However, I'd love to learn I'm wrong, and a 510 carto can somehow be easily converted to a dripping atomizer also.
I've read remarks about 510 cartos being used for dripping, but not explained. Thinking of how cartos are designed, I don't see how it could be done, let alone easily. Perhaps something else was meant other than the regular single coil carto I'm thinking of.
The old cartridge system, however, can easily be used for dripping; that's how I started. My first kit used a 650mAh battery with an atty screwed onto it, and then a cartridge filled with juice was pushed into the atty. The carts are just plastic tubes with filler material inside (blue aquarium foam works great) that juice was dripped into.
If you don't use the cartridge, you can drip directly onto the atty:
