why do so few people "drip"?

[paulw2014]

I've heard that dripping offers the best flavor, but it has always been abstract to me, ie, I don't know how it works and what accessories you need. I know that dripping involves dripping the eliquid directly on the atomizers, but is this a manual process? In another word, you squeeze a bottle and drip a few drops on some kind of heating element and the inhale the vapors? But you also have to activate the heating element at the same time, so this might not be very convenient.

Do you "fire" the atomizer first and then drip liquid onto it, or do you drip liquid on it first and the fire the atomizer? Or does it have to be done in sync?

I'd appreciate it if someone can provide a link with a picture of a "dripping" setup so I can see how it works and whether I want to give it a try. thx

you can just drip the liquid onto your wick (ie cotton, silica, etc) and leave it there. when u fire, the coil heats up and vaporizes the juice soaked into the wick. you don't have to drip and fire at the same time. you can soak your wick in juice, and leave it there. when you come back you can fire and it will vape. you only have to drip when your wick runs dry


edit: you don't have to fire simultaneously with dripping. you drip juice onto your wick, then fire to vape whenever

Once people git the drip they realize the same thing you have. The fact you have to keep putting a few drops in every so often is offset by the flavor, so people just need to try it to realize it isn't the hassle they thought it would be.

Don't drip and drive. You need something else while you are mobile.

Some people like to pick, pick and pick some more on their boiled crabs and some prefer eating crab cakes with a fork. I like both depending on my mood and drip on occasion.

 

[paulw2014]

But if you dripped too much liquid on the coil, then you can also flood it right? ie very little vapor production when you fire the atomizer?

too much of a hassle for me. i just want to fill a tank and forget about for a few hours.

I tried dripping and loved it.

Hated the constant redripping so I got a REO. All the advantages of dripping without the constant redripping.

I looked at the REO website and it seems cool, but from the pictures on there it's hard to see how you can "drip without the constant redripping." It seems to only work with cartomizers.

Easy, hassle free dripping? Reo Grand

Reos Mods

Reo Grand with RM2. You squeeze the bottle and juice goes up the tube into the atty.

THere is a bottle inside the mod. You can use old fashioned dripping attys or rebuildables that are designed to be bottom fed.

You squeeze the bottle and juice goes up the tube into the atty. Vape.

I use the REO Grand + RM2 rebuildable atomizer myself though I have used a plain old fashioned 510 atty on it.

If the original question was "why do so few people "drip"? (which was title of thread), dripping isn't absolutely necessary anymore. Like before the advent of really good tanking systems (such as genesis, taifun, kayfun, Russian, Aqua, etc.) I had to drip because CE4/Vivi Novas, were giving dry hits when chain vaping and they really didn't taste all that good. (And CE4's and Vivi Novas, and Egos still really don't taste that good.) Nowadays, the tank systems are so good in terms of flavor and avoiding dry hits, you don't really "need" to drip anymore. I still think dripping "tastes better" but good tanks are nearly there.

Gonna be honest I am having a heck of time with dry hits on my Kayfun

thanks to the kayfun i dont that much any more

So basically, you squeeze the bottle and press the "activation" button at the same time right? Or you can squeeze a little, and the activate the button that fires the atomizer?

But you still have to be careful not to squeeze too much right? How will you know if you've squeezed too little or too much? If the atomizers used for dripping is anything like the coils in a clearo, then too much juice will not fire.

By "bottom fed" do you mean a "rebuildable dripping atty that is bottom fed" right? as opposed to bottom coil clearomizer like the Kanger Protank? In the former case, does that mean the dripping atty has a hole in the bottom that takes in the juice?

Even if you had dry hits, I'm pretty sure you're not gonna switch back to vivi novas and ce4's.

You squeeze the bottle and any excess is sucked back down when you let go of the bottle. The juice goes up through the tube into the atty. then hit the button and vape. It is fool proof.

Considering I skipped the vivi nova/ ce4 stage to begin with not likely

not for me. 5 of my 8 vapes are RDAs but tbch i still struggle with setting up coils properly so i'm pretty sure i won't be able to figure out RTAs. dripping at my level is easy enough but the tank thing (genny, etc) i just don't see happening for me any time soon. still trying and learning at this point.

I don't think you are getting something about dripping.

There is still some form of wicking material but the purpose isn't to draw the liquid to the atty, it is to hold it in place.

Put some drops in and it absorbs. Set the bottle down. Then vape.

Similar with the reo. Squeeze the bottle a bit, juice hits the wick (or whatever material), let off the bottle. Whatever liquid the wick can't hold goes back down to the bottle. Vape until the vapor production weakens. Repeat.
