Too soon to drip?

[djpedro78]

Hey all,

Been smoke free 17 days. Chain vaper now to be honest and thinking about trying a dripper. Too soon?

When I went shopping I bought an istick with a nautilus mini and same day bought an Atlantis with a aspire subΩ mod. It was on sale!

I tried a dripper same day and loved the flavor hit. But thought I should just try the ones I got first. Now I am wanting a dripper.

What do you think?

You gotta learn sometime .... if you are wanting that is ... go ahead get one and all the stuff and give it a go. Read a bunch on the safety aspects first and you should be good to go. it is not hard to learn at all. Nothing says you can't just jump to a dripper from a glassomizer! But keep your current setup handy while you are learnign or you may be left vapeless

Go with it! Its a hobby, tinker.

Safety is the main concern with a dripper. I might recommend your next step being a Kayfun, Orchid, Lemo, or Billow. They are RTA's and produce equally as tasty flavor and great throat hit. They allow you to learn the process of building your own coils, and give you the experience of a tank.

If a dripper is your only desire and you plan on going to a mechanical in the future then please spend some time with Baditude (our resident battery expert) and his blogs FIRST: E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs

Any ideas on what dripper you might get? If I may recommend some, I would go with the Magma or Plume Veil. They both have fantastic flavor.

As long as it's going on a regulated device, there are minimal safety concerns. Just make sure your coil isn't in danger of shorting out (I've never had something short mid-vape on the istick, so I don't know how it'll respond), there's really very little to worry about... Except having to drip exclusively forevermore, once you've got the bug

Just make sure to measure the resistance of your builds and give it a go. It's easier, IMO, getting a dripper up and running, compared to a tank.

I say go for it, personally.

Doo eet. I had like 1 of everything by the time i got through that first month.

Get ready to dive in

Personally I would start with an RDA that has nice wide open build deck like a Magma or a Vulcan as they are easier to build since you have the elbow room and ramp up easily as your build skills build. I wouldn't start on an RTA that doesn't allow you to access the build without draining the tank, just because I know for me it took a little while to have complete confidence in my builds. But your skills will improve quickly and picking up a KF style RTA would be a great second device.

Above all vape safe and enjoy

When I first tried dripping, I started with a cheaper single coil model (Igo-L) and an ohms meter, of course. I found that I was never going to be a big time dripper...just not my style...but I still use that single coil dripper every so often. The ohms meter, however, gets a lot of use.

You never know until you try. As long as you have a meter, sure, go for it. You know you will sooner or later.

Drippers have a time and place. Good to get acclimated with different types of gear that will fit into your particular routine rather than ask others permission to jump into something.

I enjoy using my RDA's along with many other types of devices. Orchid Tanks for a rich vape, Kayfuns for good Flavor and longer lasting between fills. T3-mini's and Carto's for stealth as needed.

Awesome. I'm thinking the istick will fire down 1Ω. So maybe I will try that first before stepping up to a different mod.

Unless you're me Tanks love me, but getting drippers dialed in drives me buggy!

Is never to early for dripping as long you did your homework on safety.

whats the best dripper to start with , Im ready

I always recommend the magma. Why? Flavor is amazing. Second, it shines in single coil mode. For your istick, anything built to 1.1-1.5ohm will be fine once you dial in the power. It also holds a lot of juice for a dripper.

With a mechanical mod it's kinda all about the ohms, because the resistance defines the watts (power) at battery voltage (4.2v - 3.6v). Wattage is the most important single variable in the vaping experience. With regulated mods you can make power from higher resistance coupled with higher voltage. The istick goes up to 20 watts with resistances from 1-3 ohms. It doesn't matter what the ohms are, it will still make the same 20 watts. The vape will be a bit different if the resistance is different, but the power remains the same.

With a mechanical mod if you want 20 watts you need to set up at 0.6-0.7 ohms and then you'll be in that area most of the time. You will get more power when the battery is fully charged and less when it's getting low.

Have fun and best of luck with it

iStick won't fire below 1.0 ohm, it'll give you an atomizer too low warning. That being said once you read up on the safety stuff - check out a few you like. I started with a TOBH. Not bad at all, 3 posts was a bit of an annoyance for the wire I've started to love (24 & 26 gauge), got a Magma for the massive drip well and two post design, LOVE it in single coil. I bought a CLT this afternoon because I wanted a dual coil build that was easier to get together and haven't been disappointed, it's my new favourite of them all. Didn't get the V2 though because I have drip tips I love and the V2 doesn't take a 510 *rage*

 

[drippaboi]

+! for a Magma. It was my first RDA and I always recommend it for its open build deck which helps a lot when you're just starting out. It's a forgiving RDA that keeps up with you as you gain skill building, and you're able to throw all kinds of coils into it. I also find the two post design much easier to build on than tri-posts.

I think you should wait until you have your 30 day chip.
