Tired of "Tanking" bad juice when I get it. Drip Setup???

[Baditude]

Any issues with them leaking, I keep reading about clearos leaking, so I've never really looked at them. Also do they last as long as a carto or a VN?

I can only speak from my own experience with the ce3s. I have only used mine to test out juice flavors, 98% of my vaping is done on cartotanks. I've still got the original 5 from a few months ago; granted they get minimal usage. They've never leaked on me, no flooding or dry hits. These are not like the original vision style clearomizers that had issues with leaking. These are more the size of clear cartomizers.

I have meant to get a couple of the Nanos, just haven't had to buy anything else lately to help justify the shipping charges. Being able to fill these without a syringe would be a big plus.

I believe Cisco-spec attys are mass produced to Cisco's specifications (thus the name ) and use a thicker resistance wire so they are less likely to fail. The HH.357s are built to order from scratch here in the U.S. and so are thus, more expensive.

actually no...they are not mass produced...one guy named Hannah makes them...and they're expensive because they are superior drip attys...and I guarantee they would outlast any plain drip atty that was made in China by a 12 year old...I've had many drip attys, two of which are HH .357...those two have lasted me longer than those...spend 5 bucks on China atty, works for a week, spend 20 on an hh it will last months and months.

Sorry, had to jump in and say- the long barrel .357s do not hold more juice. Its the exact same internals, just with a long barrel instead of short. It can allow you to tail pipe(draw off the end without a drip tip), cool the vape down a bit, but the big thing(for me at least) is that it keeps juice from getting in your mouth if the .357 spits. I hope I didn't sound like a jerk for correcting whoever posted that, I just want to make sure people aren't getting false info.

eh...you don't sound like a jerk...I can get a few more drops in a long barrel though I find...not many, but a few...but yes less chance of juice in mouth as stated, though to be honest I don't find them to be all that spitty.

You also can gently wrestle the stuffing out of a cartomizer with tweezers and drip on that coil. Not as good as real atomizer obviously, but it does work if you want to try it with what you have on hand.

There a youtube videos showing you how to do it, but once you get the batting and cotton out it's pretty obvious you just drip.

this only works on horizontal bottom coils...just thought I should point that out, and the fact that the most popular cartos out there are vertical coil.

I used to sample flavors by dripping onto an atty but, if you are a carto user like I am, the problem is that the juice will not taste the same in a carto as it does on an atty so really kind of defeats the purpose IMO.

I recently started using the 1/2 cartos which hold 8-10 drops of liquid to test flavors and it is working very well. You can get 20 or more at Good Prophets for 99 cents each and with their 20% off sale using code Octobersave that ends tonight, they are only 80 cents each.

Good luck with what ever method that you try.

yea hh.357 all the way dude i got one hand made right in front of me at vapercon and its amazing! and cisco is working on a tank set up for the long and short barrel !!!

might not taste exactly the same, however, if you drip an atty and don't like the juice, then you won't like it in a carto either, the reason i recommend a drip atty is that some flavors WILL NOT come out of a carto

i agree with that 100%

 

[mostapha]

Damn, why didn't I think of that?
Only other thing I'd be concerned with would be that flavor sticking around in the atomizer/coil.
Surely it would go away pretty quick.

Thanks Mostapha!

Or you can just clean it, like you need to do with everything.

 

[mikeyd3232]

Yeah it's the cleaning part that I can't seem to get around.
I'm swapping out wicks on my ViviNovas but I'm positive the flavor sticks around.
Perhaps I should rinse with vodka.
Thanks all for the responses!
Might start with the Cisco 510 and see what happens.
Going to order a few of them. Sounds like they don't last.
I'll hit up the HH one if I'm not pleased.
One thing I don't want to do is start dripping and get flavors that pull me away from tanks, or not enjoy the tanks and have to drip all the time.

if you like to drip you just do ...at that point you get a mechanical bottom feeder and"drip"all day

avidvapor.com...nab yourself an HH .357 atty....best drip atty on the planet imho.

Love my 357 atties, but I would never suggest a $22 atty for learning how to drip.
The main thing about learning to use a dripping atomizer is to not get mad when it leaks all over the place, you flood it, get dry hits, and probably pop a couple of them. We have all been there, it's just part of the learning curve.

When you get it all figured out, then get the 357 or i06 for dripping. If you find you like dripping you will probably want to even get a dedicated PV for those expencive atties, but wait until your dripping atties last and work well for months instead of just days. I have several simple old 510's that are well over a year old, they last just fine ... after you learn how to use them.

I've been rinsing with Isopropyl alcohol, (rubbing alcohol) in 70% and 90% it definitely removes the lingering flavor with most liquids.
I soak the atomizer and/or wicks for about an hour or overnight and let them dry anywhere from a half hour to when ever i remember I have rigs drying.
The alcohol evaporates quickly, and really cleans the rig well.
As for tanks and tips I generally just rinse them in water, but if you really can't get the flavor out of that vivi a deep alcohol bath will do it, it will also take the type off the tank!!!!

don't know if i would use rubbing alcohol, as it is pretty toxic and can still leave particulate behind, if alcohol is to be used, vodka or some PGA work the best.

the long barrel holds more juice and gives a slightly cooler vape, as well as keeps the juice from splashing up into your mouth as easily...it's my preferred set-up to use the long barrel...treat that atty right and it can last a VERY long time.

Guys I hate to break in, but elmattias regarding the long barrel HH .357...what Ohm do you prefer?

I have experienced not being able to get flavors out of an atty but the nice thing about 80 cent cartos are that they are disposable and there is no need to get the flavor out. This is what works best for me after years of trying many methods. Everyone is different.

I actually have had flavors that I did not care for in an atty and did like in a carto. It just makes sense to use what you typically use to test with for best results. The half cartos have been the answer for me

interesting question, as is i own two at different resistances, as i've found to like different juices at different voltages, for example, i prefer fruit flavors at a cooler temperature, and generally don't want to crank up the voltage too high, so on those i use the 2.0 ohm....for tobacco juices like RY4, i like a very warm vape that i can crank the voltage up to 5.5 and get some really nice flavor, for those i want (and need) the 3.0 ohm.

however. i've been looking into getting a bottom feeder mechanical sometime in the near future...and i can see myself having to get another custom .357 for when i decide to pull the trigger, when that happens, i'm going with the 1.5 ohm due to the limitations of a battery that shoots 3.5 volts on average...

all that being said, it really depends on what is right for you, eventually, i want to have all four of the available resistances...and to be completely honest, i wish he'd spec out a 3.5 ohm so i could get a potential 6 volts+ vaping without melting something.

Hi, as for me, i just started vaping recently and what i know from the experts is that if you are using a rebuild-able atomizer and a silica wick, what we usually do for cleaning is:

1. remove top cap of the atomizer
2. torch the wick until it becomes dry (indications, if the wick is already white in color, juice is already drained out)
note, be careful about torching the wick, you must not torch the O-ring
3. fire it up to see if the coil lights up
4. drip 5-6 drops of your newly purchased juice (or the previous juice that your vapin')
5. put the top cap of the rebuildable atomizer back with the air holes positioned in front of the coil for good air flow
6. then vape on and savor the juice you have...
