If you’re an avid vaper looking for a way to take your
hobby to the next level, dripping may be the way to go. This advanced method of vaping does require a
hardware overhaul and some serious patience, but many find that it’s otally
worth it. Generally speaking, dripping
allows some advantages over sub-ohm vaping, mostly dealing with cloud size and
flavor.
But, in order to drip, you need to understand the
process thoroughly, because it’s quite involved compared to more traditional
vaping methods. As you’ll see, there are
strict rules when it comes to vaping that ensure a successful experience
overall. Before we break down those
rules, let’s first discuss what dripping is.
A Brief Recap About Dripping
Dripping is a style of vaping that is done with a
standard vape mod and a type of atomizer called an RDA. An RDA is unlike a tank in that it doesn’t
contain a juice well where e-liquid is poured in. This is because of the nature of
dripping. Rather than pouring vape juice
into a tank and taking hits as needed, the user pours a few drops of e-liquid
directly onto the coil, takes a couple of hits and then repeats the process.
So, what is the appeal of dripping over other vaping
methods? Well, dripping enhances two
aspects of vaping dramatically: flavor and cloud size. Most vapers will tell you that there’s no
such thing as too much flavor, or clouds that are too big. So, you can naturally understand why dripping
is so appealing.
What are the Rules of Dripping?
Dripping is, however, an advanced vaping style. That being said, it’s important to know how
to properly dip in order to have a vaping session that’s safe and enjoyable.
Rule #1: Use the Right Hardware
Dripping can only be done with the proper
hardware. Not only do you need to
purchase an RDA specifically for dripping, but you also need to make sure that
your mod is high in quality and reliable, so that it can consistently deliver
in terms of performance. RDA’s are easy
to find these days, so you’ll have no trouble choosing one that suits your
needs.
Rule #2: Use a Compatible Coil
As is the case with all styles of vaping, it’s
essential that your coil is compatible with the rest of your setup.
Rule #3: Only Pour Out a Couple of Drops at a Time
When dripping, the user removes the drip tip and pours
a couple of drops onto the coil – usually no more than five. It’s important not to exceed this amount, or
else you’ll end up with a flooded coil that can’t produce satisfying hits of
vapor.
Rule #4: Double-Check That the Drip Tip is Back On
Before going to take a hit following pouring e-juice
into the coil, make sure that the drip tip is back on, or else you’ll seriously
burn your mouth. You’d be surprised by
how many people accidentally burn themselves because they weren’t paying
attention.
Rule #5: Don’t Try to Stretch Out Your Hits
Each time you pour vape juice onto your coil, you’ll
get only a couple of hits of vapor before you have to repeat the process. Don’t try to take more hits than the e-liquid
on the coil will allow, or else you’ll end up getting unpleasant dry hits that
irritate the throat, and you’ll run the risk of burning your coil, which will
mean that you have to replace it.
Rule #6: Use Premium E-Liquids Only
Finally, it’s extra important that you vape only
top-quality e-juices. E-liquids made with cheap ingredients can
burn and gunk up your coil, which will result in an unsuccessful vape. Further, cheap e-liquids may taste poor due
to how much the process of dripping brings out a bolder flavor.
