Using less juice

[Twinturbo4486]

Hey again all, I have another question about juices and dripping. My Joye Ego should be coming in tomorrow or wednesday. I bought 5 empty carts and 30ML bottles of juice because I planned on just filling the carts myself. Someone here advised me I should cut the cotton/wicking in half in the cart, then fill it up about halfway with juice until it looks like a slushy so that's what I had planned to do.

Now, after reading up on dripping and how popular it is and more beneficial to vapor/taste etc. I have an interest in doing it. But, right now money is kind of tight and I really want to make my juice last as long as possible. My question is, does dripping use up juice faster than filling the carts and vaping that way as I was advised to do? Because money is tight, I could probably deal with less taste / vapor for the time being before I got into dripping.

If they use about the same and is no difference then I will probably just go ahead and drip even without a drip tip. But if there's a big difference in juice usage and it would make my bottle go much further I could deal with filling carts for now. Thanks a lot!

It's not going to make a difference. Juice is juice. The only thing that would make a difference is if you used a different atty or cartomizer that burned up the juice faster. Like a low resistance unit or a higher voltage pv.

Hi Twinturbo !

You can use the empty cart still as a mouth piece....I did for the longest time till I bought a drip tip !

You'll actually waste less juice when you drip than you do with carts. There is always a little bit of juice left in the filler. Dripping bypasses the filler.

If you start using a mod and LR atties or cartos, then yes, you will go through more juice.

I've found my juice usage has dropped since I started dripping. The only juice that gets wasted is about 1/3 of a drop at night when I blow out the atty before bed. Much better flavor + more consistent vapor = taking *fewer* hits (for me, at least)

I'll second and third the last couple comments. I've been dripping for 3 weeks now and I use considerable less juice. It's a myth that you use more juice when dripping. I haven't used a cart since I started dripping, I love it.

Think of it this way, when filling a cart, you drip about 14-16 drops to fill it. That provides you with around 15-20 quality drags before you need to either top it off with 6-7 drops or refill it again all together if your a heavier puffer. When I drip, I use 2 drops at a time, take 5-7 quality drags, usually with a nicer throat hit and flavor. If I want to continue vaping I will drop 1-2 drops for the next 5-7 drags. If you do the math, your getting better production, and better value when you drip.
