What Is Dripping And A Few Questions

Me just like anybody else have been throwing out my teflon pans and replacing by ceramic. But just now I realized, what about dripping attys and teflon driptips? Do you think it could cause toxic fumes vaped at very high voltages? For the time being and just being on the safe side, I'm keeping them for tanks only.  

I have to wonder, with the latest advances in new tanks, if dripping is still as popular as it was. Personally I have a few tanks so good that it would be hard to tell the difference. And that's without the constant fiddling, not to mention the whole building coils hassle. Don't get me wrong. I have NOTHING against dripping. I just wonder if it will become old school soon. What do you say?  

Hey Guys,

I have been wanting to use a mech mod for quite some time now. But I didn’t want to rush into things, given that they can be dangerous if not used properly.

To prepare I have studied ohm’s law and have a pretty decent grasp on it. And have a calculator app on my phone.

I have checked out Mooch’s battery recommendations and have a good idea of what batteries to use and which to avoid.

I still do have a few questions I was hoping an experienced Mech user could help me answer:

- What would be the “sweet spot” as far as resistance and safety go for a dual coil set up? Obviously I want to go as low as possible and have a hard hitting vape. But I also want to be safe. I plan to use a dual 18650 Parallel mod (The Clutch X18). I would be most likely be using Sony Murata batteries as I cant find any Samsungs where i live. I’m thinking somewhere around 0.17-0.2? Or would it be safe to go lower than that? I will of course test my build on an ohm reader and regulated mod before throwing it on the mech to be safe.

- Are there any other general safety tips? Ive heard that you want to screw the Atty down all the way first, before inserting the batteries. And then insert the batteries. And when removing the batteries i heard you want to slightly unscrew the atty first, and then carefully remove the batteries? Can anyone please confirm if this is correct.

- Is its safe to chain vape on a dual 18650 parallel mod? When I say chain vape I mean like maybe taking 5-6 big hits back to back. Then waiting 3-5 minutes, dripping some juice and then doing another 5-6 hits.

- Is there anything I should be monitoring while I’m vaping? Like the heat of the batteries? From what I’ve read, the batteries drain quite fast on a mech. And after some experience you will just kind of know when they need charging because the vape experience changes. Is there anything I’m missing? Or something i should be looking out for?

- I can only vape in my kitchen. And sometimes there might be a little bit of water on the counter from someone’s drink sweating, or drops after someone washed their hands etc. Is this a risk? I will of course do my best to keep all surfaces dry. I’m not talking about large amounts of water or submerging or getting the mod really wet. But just what one might find on a kitchen counter.

- Any other tips you could throw my way would be great!

Thanks in advance!  

Last night I received my vaporDNA order:
1 - Doge X by Congrevape
1 - Mutation X V3 by Indulgence
1 - EHPro Pontus V1.5 Dripping Tank Atomizer

I was so excited!! When I ripped open the box I was stunned! The EHPro was sitting right on top in this elegant black box! Quite an impressive sight!!
The Mutation X V3 looks killer too! Nice box, slick looking in the see through window! Was a little disappointed that the Drip Tip that comes with it is PLASTIC. That was a bit disappointing. But this thing looks amazing!
The Doge X - I don't even have words for this thing!! Intimidating comes to mind! The chuff tip (which is NOT removable) on this guy is MASSIVE!!!! MASSIVE (yes I said it again!)!! It almost seems too much!! But very excited to build some coils for this guy and start blowing some clouds!!

It was late last night when I finally got to sit down with them. The only one I was able to clean and get put together was the EHPro Pontus V1.5. Taking it apart was a pain in the, well, in the you know what!! The pyrex glass wouldn't come off the bottom part and every time I would twist and/or pull on it, it felt like the glass was going to Shatter (but it didn't, eventually it popped off). Unfortunately, this dripping tank does NOT come with instructions. So dis-assembly was a little time consuming, trying to figure out which portion to remove and which screws to loose. But thank you YouTube for 1 helpful video.
Anyway, built some 1.6ohm coils out of 28ga Kanthal, was shooting for 0.8ohm final resistance at my atty. Let me tell you, the screws on this thing Do NOT want to HOLD down wire. One constantly backs out and the other just Breaks the Kanthal. And I am not even screwing them down that Hard or "forceful". So after getting the wires in and screws down and wicked, I fired it up but the Atty reads 0.9ohm then JUMPS up to 1.4ohm, then down to 1.0ohm then up to 1.2ohm, then down to 0.9 then up. It won't hold steady! So I took off the top and screwed down that screw that keeps coming out, was fine for a pull or two, then started bouncing around again.
I contacted vaporDNA who I made the purchase from via email (no one seems to answer their customer service phone number) and I also contacted EHPro about it. So we'll see what happens.

VaporDNA, so far is pretty good. Shipped the items on the 12th and I got them on the 16th. So pretty fast shipping (it was FREE!). They even send a FREE bottle of juice along with any purchase! Its 60/40 (VG/PG) and they wrote that that is the Only ratio they'll send for the free juice! Which is fine by me, I don't tend to look "Gift Horses in the Mouth".

Any way, I would post pics but can't while I'm at work! Just wanted to update everybody!!


More updates to come as well, once I get my Doge X and Mutation V3 coiled and wicked!!!  

What is currently the best atomizer flavor out there? Bar none. Doesnt matter what vape style it is. If someone wants to experience the best possible flavor an atty can produce, what is it?

Is it the newest and greatest Falcon 2, a Zenith, Zeus X, Dang rda, wotofo rda...? Or does an old classic still reign king?

What do you guys think? What atty is the measure for flavor?  

Cleaning some old drip tips today and I feel sick. More reason to keep everything clean.
Luckily it’s an atty just lying about with (two specifically, but these aren’t even chimneys and decks, just two old drip tips)

I checked my current straight after and it’s crystal clean.
I’ll make sure it always remains that way. How often do you guys clean your attys?
 

I used to be one of those who thought the whole dripping thing was dumb.

After getting tired of buying coils for my atlantis, I decided to pop in to the store and pick up my first RDA.

I settled on the dark horse. I watched a short tutorial on youtube and built my first coil at 0.6 ohms.

Safe to say the atlantis and nautilis will go into retirement today.

I have never felt a nic buzz from vaping, but I can actually feel a buzz off this thing : I vape my atlantis at 3mg.

Also I love that I simply have to re wick and drip to try new flavours, and best of all NO MORE BUYING COILS.  

I have a hades 26650 mechanical mod and I was running a tobh atty v2 dual vertical coil build. It was working perfect but I was getting tired of dripping. I bought an aspire Atlantis, and it won't fire. I feel as though it's my mod, because I was fumbling with some adjustments on it, and it fired for about seconds. I was very happy with the production and flavor. But, now no matter what I adjust or anything, it won't fire anymore. I cleaned the connections and everything. Please help!  

Hey everyone,
I've been vaping for about two years now, and have decided to start dripping. For the last few weeks, I have been dripping on an IGO-W, 26G Kanthal single coil (7 wrap micro coil reading at 0.8ohms) on my iStick 30w.

I just recently purchased a new battery that should arrive today, and was wondering if anyone had advice/tips on producing some fat clouds! Dual Coils? Different coil builds? Number of wraps? Watts to vape at? I think you get the picture lol.

The items I will be using are as follows:
-SMOK XPRO M80 Plus
-IGO-W
-26 Gauge Kanthal Wire
-Japanese Organic Cotton
- 80vg/20pg Juices

All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

a few little questions. I actually like dripping my 3 mg nic in max better even than vaping. I drip using 3 mg nic on a Istick 50 watt set about 23 watts with a draw of about 2.5 seconds and the coils reading says 1.6 ohms and the air holes blocked a tad on the el diablo bael. I vape on the Istick 20 watts somewhere around 7 to 8 watts on factory coil of 1.8 in a nautilaus mini
my questions: 1) does sub ohm in a rebuildable tank give flavour similar to a dripper
drippers seem to require higher watts is this in anyway suggested as less healthy ( I am not too concerned about the increased supposed formaldehyde issue I believe Dr F had issue with the research and in my opinion I probably breathe more formaldehyde off gassing wandering around carpets and insulation and pressboard)
2) the nic level is quite a bit lower in the dripper Does this actually translate to a drop in nicotine/contine levels in my blood in other words would I need to drip more to keep my nic levels somewhat reasonable re setting off " the I want a smoke brain run"
3 if I were to drip only for 3 or 4 days am I likely to find my 12 mg vape to strong

thanks for any insight you might provide
