why dont they sell bridgeless attys for direct drippers?

[rook2pawn]

I use the direct drip method and i just de-wicked and de-bridged my atty and my flavor is just amazing. (using the youtube video YouTube - Removing The Bridge by phee)

I dont know but i would buy new atty's that are bridgeless if they offered them.

I kind of feel like i mess up good tweezers for this process.

what do you guys think?

 

[kgeiger002]

I've wondered the same thing. It's all about supply and demand. I guess the manufactures feel it's simply easier to mass produce a non-neutered atty then to deviate from that.

I'd buy them in a hot second! I'm always afraid I'm going to do some kink of damage when I stick in those sharp little tweezers and mess with that atty.

 

[lrd3]

yah... half the time I'm in a rush n find my atty sliding out...lol... half to calm down. vape a little and take my time. i swear i could almost ripp a atty apart wile driving (not recommended or done by me) .... i would buy them if the were pre debridged. eaven though ive gotten good at it. i have to imagine they could build one better than i can rip one apart...

Is that what a dripomizer at nhaler for about 3 bucks is?

What is the purpose of the bridge in an atty?

Contrary to popular belief, removing the bridge imposes more problems than benefits.

What is the purpose of the bridge in an atty?

To absorb the juice contained by the cart filler.

eHuman, what are the problems with bridgeless atties?

 

[warbdan]

Debridging my atties made them weak. I get almost no vapor from them now and they leak like a sieve.

Same here. Luckily I only did it to one. I have de-wicked a couple though and have noticed improved flavor and vapor with those, with out the leaking problem.

 

[Big Hitter]

If de-wicking and removing the bridge improves your flavor .... you not cleaning you attys well enough.

buy a handheld steam cleaner and steam clean your attys. Been doing it every couple of days for the last 4 months.

Mmmm good. It works so well, I clean new ones before i even use them.

I have tried no wick, no wick and no bridge several times. All it does is increase the likeliness of leaks and makes it so you have to drip less per shot and drip more often.

 

[SpeakerPlayNet]

Big Hitter - what a great idea about using a hand held steamer. I've been meaning to replace the one that finally died a couple years ago and this just put that task towards the top of my To Do list. Thanks!

How about an atty specifically designed, a different bridge type and / or shape, and wick
made for dripping?

There is absolutly a market for it, judging on the number of drippers in ECF.
There has to be a way of shaping the bridge to hold an extra drip or two, with a
wick that delivers the juice to the coil efficently.

Just thinking out loud....

 

[stressedOUT]

I'm sure within the next couple months we will see something pop up somewhere

 

[BradSmith]

I used to debridge mine and it worked fine. I just don't bother anymore. If the taste gets funky I toss it out. I buy my 510 atties from China 65 at a time. I have even pulled all the stuffing out of a carto and dripped with it and it worked. but it took about an hour.

Agreed. I've consistently been less satisfied with a debridged and/or dewicked atty for dripping than an intact one. More than two drops causes leaking and at 6V it's only good for two hits. Plus I don't like constantly immersing the coil in juice. But that's just me...some people seem to love it. I have a Steam Shark and with the fine nozzle attachment it's almost effortless to keep them clean.

Ahh another steam cleaner. I've been trying to spread the word on here ... the steam shark rocks.

I've never tried one myself so I'm not sure about this but I think this is the idea behind the Cisco 306 atty.

 

[eHuman]

I think the attys current design (along with routine maintenance) is great for dripping, at least in the case of the 510. I've got one over two months old, only one in rotation and it is performing great with 1-2 cleans a week.

 

[DirtyLefty]

I wouldn't mind seeing an atomizer with a layer of wick underneath the coil for bottom feeding mods as well. I think that the next generation of PV's is going to focus more on convenience than the current one, which tends to lean more towards "looks like a cigarette" than "is more convenient than analogs".

My $.02.
