Ok so i want to order a bunch of 10 mil juices from juggys, and i am trying to figure out what works best to try them out. I started vaping with clearos, mainly vivi novas, and finally switched to cartos/tanks and its god like. I don't feel like priming a carto, and then filling a tank for a 10 mil juice that i might not like.

I am thinking of 2 things from what I read, either "atty dripping" or these cartos I have been seeing everywhere, smoktech cartos, but they dont go in a tank.

which would be better? also keep in mind i am using an innokin SVD right now.

thanks :)

If you don't mind winding your own coils, grab yourself a rebuildable atty like the phoenix clones or an IGO-L and stick a stainless mesh wick in it. The stainless wicks IMO are easier to change flavors on, probably because you can dry burn the heck out of them and wipe them off with a paper towel without the wick getting all brittle and falling apart the way silica does.

There's also the 510 drip atomizers, but I had a hard time getting some flavors out of them without giving it a thorough cleaning with alcohol.

I'd recommend either a drip atomizer or a Nano clearomizer.

The Nano is a 1 ml capacity clearomizer that can be cleaned and refilled with another flavor. They are relatively inexpensive to allow owning several. The tube is polycarbonate, so it may not be safe to use with the cinnamon or citrus flavors known to crack or melt that type of plastic. Altsmoke sells a 510 thread Nano and Smokeless Image sells an 808 thread Nano.

Hmm i just checked out the vision nano's and they look pretty good. I am trying to stick with something that basically does not act ike the vivi nova with the muted flavors and burnt hits.

so is it not worth it to use those smoktech mega cartos? (no tank) i was also looking at the firebird bottom coil cartos, dont really understand them though.

lastly about the RBA's, they seem cool and i love how they look, but im not sure i could learn that type of thing. i just finally switched to cartos from clearos lmao.

I've used the Nano's for testing new flavors. For the most part, I was pretty satisfied with their flavor production, and didn't experience burnt hits. They are bottom fed/bottom coiled so they are different than the top fed/top coiled vivi nova type of tanks.

Nothing wrong with the Smok mega cartos, but I don't see the point in using those to sample new flavors. You've pretty much commited a carto to a specific flavor once you've filled it. They hold between 4 - 5 ml of juice. Not familiar with the firebird bottom coil cartos that you speak of; all cartos are bottom coiled. :blink:

RBAs are for more advanced vapors. You need to have prior knowledge of battery types, know battery & mod safety, own and know how to use a multimeter, etc. To learn more, check out this article for vapors interested in purchasing their first RBA: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/4454-7-advice-tips-vapors-looking-try-their-first-rba.html

Well I will definitely try the vision nano's, they are 3$ each at the canadian place i usually order from and seem very good for samples as long as they produce decent vapor and don't hinder the flavor. I highly doubt i will ever get into RBA'S because I am very impatient and have shaky hands, so thats out of the question i think lmao.

what i want to look into more are the dripping attys, i don't really understand them.

thanks for your responses, very helpful. it was because of your videos and tutorials that i now use cartos ;-)

Drip atomizers aren't too difficult to learn. Basically, you drip 3 - 4 drops of juice directly into the atomizer and vape that until you begin to notice a slight burnt taste (generally several vapes or draws). Then drop 3 - 4 additional drops in and repeat as needed. Not convenient for all situations, but this method is some vapors only method of vaping that they use.

A bottom feeding mod will allow you to enjoy the benefits of a dripping atomizer (pure unadulterated flavor), with the convenience of a tank. These have a built in tank that has part of it exposed so that you can press it to deliver juice to a juice drip well on top of the mod. You then do a "primer puff" to suck that juice into the bottom of the atomizer and then can vape. To add more juice to the atomizer, you simple squeeze the bottle again and do another primer puff.

Thank you. I always appreciate hearing that my work has been helpful. :thumb:
