What is dripping?

[Nfvap11]

Hi all, newbie here. I have seen several posts where people refer to "dripping" to get the best vaper clouds. What is "dripping" and how does it work?

You use something called an rba (Rebuildable Atomizer). It's hard to explain it through here but basically you drip into whatever wick you're using at the time. Usually 8-10 drops, vape it for awhile, drip 8-10 drops, vape it for awhile, etc.

Dripping is exactly as it sounds, you vape by dropping your e liquid directly onto an atomizer( 2-10 drops depending on the atty), and then vaping ... Back in the day we used to drip w/ 510 & 306 atomizers. No cartomizers, or tanks, and clearos involved. Today dripping has evolved quit a bit, and dripping is now usually done on a variety of rebuildable atomizers, which are nothing like the atties of old, lol.

Those who drip usually do so because of the enhanced flavor, and throat hit you can get from your juice ... If you want to "see" what dripping is like, go to youtube and search it.

It can be done with a number of devices, but basically it's putting drops of juice directly on the coil and vaping.

All that in a nutshell... back in the day of cartridges filled with poly-fill fiber and a bridged atomizer, some folks discovered that skipping the poly-fill and just dripping the juice directly onto the "Bridge" of the atomizer, the flavor and throat-hit was magnified.
Then somebody manufactured atomizers without the bridge, nice improvement. Now, just Google "RDA" and see where we are now. Pretty amazing how far this hobby has come in just the last couple years.

I have a blog on basic dripping you might find helpful. I don't rebuild, I just use plain attys I buy in bulk for about $5 each.

Drip, Drip, Drip…

Aww man you just took me back in time. When I bought my very first 510 set up, and the vendor was like "yeah, just pull that poly fill crap out, drip right on atomizer" ... I am far from old however, remembering what dripping used to be like is making me feel so ... The other day I came across one of my old dripping atties, ahahha. I just looked at the thing like it was a VCR and threw it back in the draw. The sad part is it's basically brand new. I am far too young to be saying "remember when" lol.
