First of all, if you want to get into dripping, do you simply do away with carts and cartos, and just use an atty with a drip-tip, all attached to a battery? Or do people drip using carts/cartos? Do you need a special type of atty... beyond it having the proper fitting for my batt (ego t 900 mah... 510 fitting I believe)? I imagine dripping wouldn't work with an ego t tank atty, right?

Also, say I didn't want the hastle of constantly having to drip, and I wasn't happy with my ego t tank for reasons of leaking, I guess using either carts or cartos with the ego t battery would be the next step, right? It seems to me that any re-usable carts or cartos with polyfill will present problems when wanting to try different liquids. So are there re-usable carts and cartos which do not have polyfill... or would I just need to buy a whole bunch of them to test different liquids? Further, if there are polyfilless carts/cartos, wouldn't these things be just like using a tank, hence running into leaking issues? It's all a little confusing to me.

Thanks all.

Dripping, you drip 3 or so drops of juice on your atty, usually a drip tip. I'm not a dripper, so I can't give you exact instructions. There is a way (I think) that people drip with the ego-T atty. Hopefully someone here can tell you how. Or, you can just pick up a regular ego atty.

I use cartomizers, either boge 2.0 cartomizer or the cartomizers from CCV. The boge cartomizers hold about 1 ml or juice and the cartos from CCV hold about double that. They really are disposable, but many clean them. The plus with cartomizers is that they hold a lot of juice, vape is consistant and they don't leak. Cons is that you don't know exactly how much juice is in the carto- with the tank you can see how much juice you have. With a carto- when flavor drops off you add more juice. The downside is once you fill a carto you're pretty much committed to that juice. With a tank, you can rinse it out. I usually test out juices by dripping, if I like the juice I fill up a cartomizer.

This is what I use from CCV
Crystal Clear Vaping

Boge 2.0 is also excellent

You can always try the clearomizers

It's different from the tank in that the atomizer is built in.

There is also the Ego Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer- holds tons of juice. I'd hold off until you found a juice you really like. Mad Vapes carries them.

When I taste a juice at the store, it's dripped into an eGo-T atomizer. Probably not the best solution for full-time driping, but for testing it gets the job done.

Changing flavors in a carto is a pain, which is why I and many others, drip to test, and if it's good stuff, it gets a carto.

Dripping with a carto? Not really. Not any way you can really do that because of the design of them. Now, that said, I do it. lol I have a Drip on Demand kit that I put on top of a carto. As I vape on it, the DoD system slowly keeps the carto topped off for me. Works pretty well actually. Technically, I don't think I'm "dripping" at that point. Just kinda auto-topping-off.

Normall with a carto, you vape it till it begins to feel a tad bit 'off' , then top it off. Definitley different from proper 'dripping'.
