What Does Dripping Mean in Vaping?

Vape dripping, also known as "dripping," is an advanced vaping method that involves directly applying e-liquid onto the coil and cotton-wicking material of a rebuildable dripping atomiser (RDA), or 'drip tip'. This technique allows the e-liquid to be instantly vapourised at high wattages, bypassing the traditional tank setup and resulting in a powerful burst of flavour and vapour.

How Does It Work?

Vape dripping is a process where instead of using a traditional tank that feeds e-liquid to the coil, the user drips the e-liquid directly onto the coil and wick of a rebuildable dripping atomiser (RDA). 

Pros:

• Enhanced Flavour: Dripping gives a more robust and cleaner taste since the e-liquid is vapourised directly on the coil.

• More Vapour: Directly heating the e-liquid produces bigger vapour clouds, which is great for those who enjoy cloud chasing.

• Easy Flavour Changes: With dripping, you can quickly switch e-liquid flavours without emptying a tank.

• Customisable: Dripping with RDAs allows you to customise coils and setups for a personalised experience.

Cons:

• Less Convenient: You need to regularly add e-liquid when dripping, which isn't ideal for vaping on the move.

• More Complex: Setting up an RDA for dripping is more complicated than using regular tanks, which might put off beginners.

• Risk of Leaks: If you drip too much e-liquid or do it incorrectly, it can leak and make a mess.

What Is a Drip Tip?

A drip tip is a mouthpiece that fits over the atomiser, allowing vapour to flow to the user's mouth. It enables the direct 'dripping' of e-liquid onto the atomiser's coils and wick without the need to remove the entire mouthpiece.

What You'll Need

• Drip Tip: Mouthpiece with a shallow liquid well for wicking
  Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser (RDA): Allows you to apply e-liquid onto the coil and wick directly.

• Coils: Coil wire or pre-built coils play a crucial role in vapour production.

• Cotton: Absorbed e-liquid and delivered it to the coil for vaporisation.

• E-Liquid: Choose a suitable VG/PG ratio and nicotine strength for drip vaping. Due to their vapour production, e-liquids with higher VG content are often preferred for dripping.

How To Drip Vape

• Prepare Your RDA: Ensure your RDA is correctly set up with a securely installed coil and properly positioned wick.

• Add E-Liquid: Carefully drip a few drops of e-liquid directly onto the coil and wick, ensuring the cotton is saturated but not overly drenched to avoid flooding.

• Vape and Repeat: After dripping, you're ready to use your device. Re-drip once the flavour diminishes or takes on a burnt taste.
