To drip, or not to drip?

[kingofyo1]

This is possibly a noob question, but what exactly are the high points to dripping over cart filling? I acquired a joye510 this morning with a few bottles of juice, and started watching videos. More and more people in the videos are dripping as opposed to cart filling which raised a question. Does dripping save more juice than cart filling? Does it lead to longer atomizer life or shorter? How many atomizers will i have to buy from unexpected atty death? Last but not least, why do the Saints suck so bad and I continue to watch?

If anyone can answer these questions, please feel free to. My brain needs educating!

Thanks,
your new fellow vaper in Mississippi, Drew

you don't have to deal with cart fillers anymore when dripping. no worries about burning and inhaling whatever the material you use in the cartridge.

when one flavor is used up just drip in another. with a cartridge you'd have to switch carts or switch fillers or mix the flavors. just what you're willing to put up with.

is there any bad tastes when you directly switch from finishing one flavor( say, coffee) and drip in another( say, menthol)?

I read a post about dripping a Blu and I tried that with so so results and really didn't see enough of a difference to be sold on dripping.

I got my 510 tonight and on the first few draws didn't see what all of the rage was about. Then I dripped and WOW what a difference! I got a ton of vapor and a really good taste of the juice flavoring.

I think at home I'll drip but on the go pre-filling the cart is the best option. I'm just glad to have options other than stinky analogs.

You, Ma'am have a great point. stinky analogs are stinky! My wife and I went into a local smokeshop in the mall down here to show off our new best friends(the 510s) and had to get out of there because the cigar smoke drove us up the wall!

i started out using cartridges but switched to dripping. it was just easier and i used less liquid.
but if you do decide to use cartridges check out the lipton pyramid teabag method and the straw mod. both worked better than the polyfill IMHO

How many atomizers will i have to buy from unexpected atty death?

Short answer:

Get a half dozen... more if you can afford them. Atomizers are the one indispensable piece of e-cig hardware.

Longer answer:

I think you shouldn't count on atomizers lasting more than 2 weeks. That said, though, many people find they get a month or more from each. I think it's a pity that nearly all e-cig kits come with only one atomizer. Vaping neophytes are still figuring out what works for them in regards to atomizer maintenance, and having one's e-cig fail is damn frustrating when starting out.

I've been vaping for about 3 weeks and I'm still using my first atty. I did buy five spares to have on hand though. I've bought a 901 and 510 and the 510 with the USB pass-through is my personal favorite right now. I believe I'll eventually move up to the VP1. I like it better because of it's size and battery life. I have ordered a manual mega battery for my 510, but haven't received it yet. Good Luck.

and to answer your last question.................the saints don't suck, everyone else is just better. (especially the falcons)

the 510 is sturdy but you'll never have too many atomizers
