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 posted this in a thread but got no answers. I was wondering if anyone out there who has Delrin and Teflon driptips if they can tell the difference. I'm asking this because I have some delrin drip tips, and just recently received some teflon driptips I ordered. From reading about teflon, I'ts suppose to be sort of velvety and vibrant white. When comparing it to my delrin drip tips, the only difference I can really tell, or rather see is that my white delrin driptips are a more transparent white, while my new teflon ones are a more solid vibrant white. The texture feels the same for me with perhaps the teflon one being a bit more smoother/slippier MAYBE but im not sure. Are Delrin and Teflon suppose to be similar type of materials? Because they seem practically the same to me other than the transparency differences.
can somebody explaiin to me what dripping is and how to do it
Also can i take of the mouthpiece on a disposable atty and vape with the metel ring above that screws the atty to the battrey
Last can i clean my attys out with water ti coean the wick and liqid then dry them of before use
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?
Concerns about dripping
Newer-generation e-cigs allow users to choose — and change — what flavorings they heat up in their devices. Most vapers choose a liquid with nicotine (that addictive, stimulant found in tobacco). To get the biggest nicotine hit from each puff, some vapers take the outside cover off of their e-cigarette and use an eyedropper to “drip” the liquid directly onto the device’s coil.
This is an atomizer used for dripping. A couple drops of e-liquids are dripped directly onto the hot coils to create a vapor cloud.
E-liquids reach higher temperatures when dripped directly onto the coil. This also creates a bigger vapor cloud and provides a bigger throat hit. A new study now raises special concerns for teens who drip.
Allowing the liquid to get superhot can transform harmless chemicals in the e-liquid into toxic ones. (Note: At least one recent study showed that the hotter the vaped liquid became, the more likely it was to undergo such a toxic transformation.) And dripping makes this super-heating likely. Some people even use attachments, called atomizers, to do this more effectively.
Vaping hobbyists that do smoke tricks may have popularized dripping, says Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin. A psychiatrist at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., she’s been studying vaping behaviors in teens. Many now drip, she and her colleagues report.
This team surveyed 1,080 Connecticut high schoolers who said they vaped. One in every four teen vapers said he or she had tried dripping.
This is the first time any study has reported on the popularity of dripping in teens. (Researchers don’t yet know how common dripping is among adults.) The new statistics appear in the February Pediatrics.
Most teens who dripped said they had hoped it would let them make thicker vapor clouds or give the vapor a stronger taste. At present, little is known about the health risks of this type of vaping, Krishnan-Sarin notes.
And that worries her. “There’s great concern,” she says, “that kids are being exposed to higher levels of known carcinogens this way.” Researchers don’t yet know if this is true. And that’s because no one has yet studied whether more of these compounds get into the body when people drip instead of vaping normally.
For now, Krishnan-Sarin says a bigger vapor cloud or more flavorful hit probably isn’t worth the risk. “You don’t know what you’re exposing yourself to,” she points out, and no one should assume that the e-liquids and the vapors they generate are harmless
I have a CLT v2 Plus and a Mutation X v2 running on a Sigelei 150w and an Asmodus Klone v1.5. I am a cloud chaser, just to get that out of the way. Both attys on both mods used to CHUCK the clouds like nobodys business. My builds have not changed, if anything I have gotten much better at it obviously with time and practice. But boths attys on both mods just don't do what they used to. Neither performs in a way that is something to be "ashamed" of, if you will. But they don't do near what I used to get out of them. Maybe it's the batteries? I have 10 18650 batteries, all have been in even rotation for a while now. Although I would think it wouldn't be such a big deal in the Sigelei, it being regulated and all, right? Or maybe I just suck and don't know it? I am not against getting new atomizers, as I love throwing away hard earned money on vape gear I don't really need as much as the next ECF member, but still. Thoughts?
Finally got fed up with my subtank dry hits, and the cost of my nautilus coils so I decided to dig out my mutation and dark horse a couple weeks ago. Now I fear that I ruined tanks forever!! I don't remember being this happy with dripping last go around. After a weeks and a half of dripping I tried my tanks again and they just leave me wholly unsatisfied.... Is it a lost cause?? Have a ruined tanking!!
I'm definitely OCD, but to stretch my bucks, through the years, I developed a buying pattern.
Every month: eliquid and spare heads
Every three months: mod, battery, driptips, enhancements
Every six months: new atty or replacements for the ones I have.
So far it works ok and I don't overspend. Any patterns on your side of the fence?

Anyone or are most using dripping rba\rda's and tanks? Sorry if this thread already exists.
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!
-Tyler
