Drippings good for when you want to test diferent liquids and when at home just sitting around. It's nice to have a few attys going with different flavors. I've only used regular attys to drip though, don't have a rebuildable designed for dripping. I also would'nt drip a rebuildable that uses a wad of cotton or other material, sort of defeats the purpose, at that point it's just a reconfiguration of a cartomizer.

Seems far to tedious. Last thing I want to be doing at my desk is messing around with juice. + I've started building my RSST in auto dripper mode so best of both worlds right?

I have my RSST built with a nice sized bed of cotton to keep the wick "juicy" when I pump up the watts to 12 - 13 I really have fun with it...

Dripping with a 510 atty is almost no hassle at all. Neither is using something like a VMOD or a REO - it's like all the flavor and vapor of dripping in a self-feeding portable spill-proof container.

I think every vaper should be sent a 510 dripper free with their ecig purchase. Dripping is almost foolproof and the flavor almost cannot be beaten. Add in the fact that there are few ways to mess it up and I reckon more people would have a great first vaping experience.

Dripping is a complete hassle when on the go, I clean beer lines for a living and don't have the time to deal with dripping at work, never mind if I blow a cool and have no building supplies with me. That being said, I drop almost exclusively at home. I love the flavor, the huge clouds, and trying new flavor blends. It's nice to be able to try new samples without having to fill a cart-o-clear-o-tank-o-mizer and get stuck with a whole bunch of something you might not want to toot on all day long.

I do it because I have drilled out air holes on my dripper (rebuildable)... just can't do that with any tank system other than a genesis but I never can get them to wick that great other than with a SS mesh wick... I hate the way the SS mesh tastes...

Organic cotton wicks on a rebuildable dripper all day every day.

I have been doing it for over a week and I personally find it to be a pain in the ..... I am so over it lol

That's how I was when I first started vaping also. I was like "dripping really shleks", can't get good hit, either too much or too little liquid screws it up. After getting a couple half decent attys and practicing some more i got the hang of it, it's decent. Still not something I'd want to do all the time, definately not when driving, that's an accident waiting to happen.

I've gotten pretty complacent with tanks when I'm driving or at work, but dripping is still the best thing for trying new flavors or just getting the perfect hit.

On that last point, the consistency of dripping, particularly with a simple 510 atty, can't be underestimated. Unless you're firing up a newly constructed RBA, dripping is nearly foolproof. Drip a few drops and get a good hit. I think InTheShade had a great idea of including a dripping atty with every beginner kit. It would be a great way to show a new user what vaping should be like.

One thing I found was that dripping cured my constant vaper's tongue. I can always taste the flavor, where in most tanks I can't taste it after a while (and the flavor seems muffled to begin with). I just got my first Genesis tank yesterday (AGA-T2) and I think I've finally found a tank I can live with. :)
