Direct Dripping

[Karma]

I gave direct driping a go a couple of months ago with a standard 510 atomiser that I'd got in the beginning. I wasn't too impressed

I'd like to give it another go as I have loads of small sample bottles that I want to try without committing a carto to them!

I've heard people talk about a bridgeless atomiser, is this it

www.vapeescape.co.uk/bauway-306lr-bridgeless-atomiser~356

What are the advantages of using one of these?

[Perpetua]

I haven't used a bridgeless 306 atomiser Karma, although I believe Gordy does very successfully . . . but in a DCA. I understand they can be a bit spitty, but don't speak from personal experience.




I do drip on a LR901 and a bridged LR306 very successfully though . . . 501's are not great for DD, although better than using a carto to try out new flavours.

And one of these www.vapeescape.co.uk/306-drip-tip~242

Will get you started. The 306 in my view is better than a 901 but many will disagree so it's another thing that's subject to taste.
Those links above will provide a nice cheap way to try out 306 dripping.

I use the 306 in a DCA and I find them excellent

Ive never been one for dripping, except when i was little and we had it on toast.

Ordered a joye 306 in the group buy so will see what all the fuss is about.

Blakey, your link is for the same one as my link, but with a bridge? What is the difference? i.e. do i need a bridge? What does it do?

and, what's a DCA?

Crikey, no wonder noobs get confuddled ???

The bridge allows more juice to be held within the attie so that you don't need to top up quite so often,think of it as a wick, as perpy says the bridgeless type tend to spit quite a bit so unless you have a long enough drip tip then you risk boiling hot juice reaching the mouth. There is no difference to flavour or performance that I could tell.
The DCA is essentially a drip shield and cancels out any chance of a leak if you over fill. Not worth looking at till you find out whether or not you like 306 dripping. Cloud9 have them but their site is off-line till 17th may.

Can I just shamefully push into this thread

I've tried dripping with the 6v atomisers you get with the LT kit and sometimes get a decent taste out of them, but it seems to be very fleeting.
Has anyone succeeded in using these for dripping?

[Karma]

No probs womble, hopefully you will get some replies that may help me too

[maccafan]

A LR 1.8 ohm 306 at 3.7 volts is pretty much 10/10.

A LR stardust is probably a 6 and the E1 clearo is a 7, a reguiar imist a 7.5 and the phoenix CS3 is a 8 for flavour, according to me.

A LR stardust with a SS wick also rates a 8 and the throat hit is tremendous. Need to try a SS wick on an imist.

Macca have you got a link to your perfect 10?

Them atties require regular cleaning when certain types of juice are used, mainly caramel based are a problem because they tend to leave a gunge around the coil that burns after a while and causes dodgy flavour. Also flooding these atties will mute the flavour.

I thought I would give this a try, I got the following:

www.vapeescape.co.uk/510-standard-resistance-atomiser~9

I just took the plastic end off, dropped in 3 drops of Grizwalds Chocohaze, stuck it on the LT with a standard drip tip and bloody hell, the flavour is really nice. No spitting yet and I do feel the drip tip is a bit close to the hot bits but at the moment it is giving off great flavour.

I bought it so I could try different flavours without screwing up a cart

I think Blakey already linked a Bauway 306 Karma..

www.vapeescape.co.uk/bauway-306-lr-atomiser~217

I use them with the bridge in a homemade driping adapter to prevent leaks. (It's the big piece on the top with a 306 fitted.)

[Karma]

So most people seem to agree that I'm better with one with a bridge!

I'm glad I asked as I had it in my head that a bridgeless one would be better, I have no idea why

i will try to restrain myself from ordering until the weekend to see what Jason's specials will be
