What is a 'drip????"

[VaVaunt]

OK, been reading through the threads here, and I keep hearing about 'drip tips' and drip...drip...drip.
First off, what in the world is a drip?...in relation to ecigs/vaping, and why would I want to encounter such a drip? Or would I? I thought drips were bad things? Can this be avoided? Am I going to end up looking (or feeling) like one of those disgusting people who chews tobacco and spits it?
Please explain, thanks in advance group.

Lol....dripping is when you drip a few drops of e-juice directly on your atty. Great for testing new flavors.

A drip tip basically acts as a mouthpiece that attaches to your atty. You can then add a couple of drops into it, which then drips directly on your atty, you can achieve the same effect by just removing your current mouth piece and adding drops directly into the atty, then replacing the mouthpiece, and firing. I'm not a dripper so I'm sure others will have more advice and thoughts for you. I do however drip when I get a new flavor so I don't have to fill an entire carto with a flavor that I may not like.

Drip tips also work great on cartos,you replace the small rubber piece the drip tips feel much better in mouth and is not hot on your lips like carto can be.I always use them.

A drip is a drop that dripped. Glad that we've got that all cleared up for you

Just popped in to say "welcome to the ECF!."

You can find some great utube videos on atomizer dripping if you want to witness the phenomenon.

Dripping is a method of delivering ejuice to your atty while you vape. Many love dripping because they enjoy the flavor of the juice more via this method. Drip tips are used so that do not have to remove the mouthpiece and drop the juice directly on to the atty.

I on the other hand do still remove my drip tips when dripping because I don't like how the juice moves through the tip, and find that I get better results by pulling off the tip and dropping right on to the atty, as opposed to waiting for the juice to slide down the inside of the tip and atty.

From your other posts, I reckon you wanted on-the-go ease and simplicity of use. Dripping might not fall into that category. A cartomizer is to a timmies coffee, as dripping is to wine-tasting

I use drip tips on all my cartos with my normal vaping nic for comfort, however, I have a wide-mouth drip tip I keep on an atty for direct dripping my craving-strength nic during the occasional "moment". I also drip when trying new flavors and whenever I'm creating my own concoctions.

Welcome to ECF!!

Thank you everyone for clearing that up! I was getting a bit fearful of the drip thing!
Now I see it is actually an art form all unto itself!

I drip my favorite flavor with one of these~> Drip On Demand Kit

Yea, I prefer to drip directly onto the atty. I dont mind taking the 5 seconds to do it, its worth it!

One question about dripping:

I just bought an atty today and some various bottles of new juice to sample. I've heard that dripping is great for testing new flavors, but after I drip the first flavor and vape it, how do I then get that flavor out of the atty to taste the 2nd flavor without residuals from the first?

 

[Trucapri]

It seems most just rinse, or save judgement on the second flavor after burning off the mix of the two and getting a clean drip with the second. I've found that a little plain vg mixed with distilled water between flavors clears the taste well. For a thorough cleaning, the baking soda and white vinegar fizz and shake followed by a lemon juice then water rinse does great. Its the only thing that clears the gunk from dark, heavy vg juices for me.
