What is 'dripping' and how best to go about it?

[Janine]

Have done a quick search on here, but cannot find anything that describes what dripping is, and the best kit to use to go about it?? Any advice, as I have already mixed some stuff that I like, but would like to be a bit more adventurous and able to play around more.... cheers... J

Dripping is just using an atomizer without a tank. Instead of having a tank full of e-liquid that 'feeds' the wick and coil, the user just drips drops of e-liquid directly on to the wick / coil setup. Many people claim that dripping delivers the best flavour, but the disadvantage is that you have to top up your atomizer fairly constantly.

If you want to give it a try without spending too much money or learning advanced setups, I would recommend buying a 306 low resistance atomizer and a drip tip. You can buy a set of 3 atomizers and a drip tip for £9 from here: www.ecigs4vaping.co.uk/shop/4578837180/Bauway-LR-Bridged-Dripping-Atomiser/6211200

There are also instructions on the page for how to use the atomizers. They're a great way of trying out new liquids in small quantities, and they deliver a really good hit of flavour.

Great little explanation, I would add that just like clearos different droplets perform differently.

I've got the dropper mentioned in above thread and its great for quickly tasteing lots of eliquids but the strength of flavour ain't a patch on my trident rda.

The bauway is a great little dripper I would recommend it to get you going, if you want to venture in to building coils and experiment with different wicks then thers a vast range of drippers out there and it doesn't have to cost a fourtune.
I love dripping.

There are basically two ways of looking at dripping:
1) Using an atomizer (factory made or self built) to sample juices or to be able to switch flavours quickly
2) Using a rebuildable dripper (often dual coil or more) with a very "hot" built to produce huge amounts of vapour.

For 1) all you need is a simple 510 or 306 atomizer (Bauway, Cisco, others are available or a rebuildable like a SMOK Octopus) and basically any battery you like (Ego, Vamo, Provari, ...)

For 2) you will need an RDA (Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer) like an Origen, IGO-W, Nimbus, or thousand others and a mechanical (or very advanced electronic) Device like a Nemesis, Chi-You, MK1, or a host of others and special batteries that can sustain high loads and still be safe.

IGO-W is a good dripper, you would probably want a full size MOD to use that because it will look a bit silly on an ego battery.
