Picked up some Digby's "The King" juice at CoolVape in Nottingham earlier today. Really nice stuff!
Soldato
Hmm, so it does or doesn't hold a certain amount of eliquid in it and it wicks it like usual, instead you put drops of liquid on it every time you want to vape or something and keep doing it every puff? confused much haha!
Soldato
Yeah, there's no tank (just a shallow well) and it has a normal wick (2 if you dual coil it) and you basically drip a few drops or more, which should give you a good few puffs depending on the length of the pull, the Ohm rating of the coil and how much power you're putting through it.
Speaking of which, these are generally intended for sub Ohming (Coils below 1 Ohm) and you'll need either a mechanical mod or a decent variable voltage/wattage device capable of around 20-30w or more and you REALLY do need to use the right kind of batteries for safety when you're doing stuff like this.
It sounds a lot more complicated than it is and I'm probably not doing the best job of explaining tbh
I was recommended a product called the Big Dripper earlier on and it seems to be a great option if you'd like all the benefits of a dripper with the addition of a tank to hold the juice.
Check out the review and explanation of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11rSKTBLrdQ
Also check out some of his other reviews and explanation of RDA's (rebuiildable dripping atomisers) which cover how to build them and how they work with safety tips etc.
Basically, if you wanna blow big clouds, you want a dripper.

Honestly I thought the same at first, but after years of messing about with flooding and dry burning with tanks I wouldn't go back unless something very special came out. Dripping works perfectly all the time and is not as much hassle as it sounds. It's also really easy to rewick a dripper since you can just yank out your cotton and thread some more in. £5 from fasttech is worth a go

Sounds interesting but seems like a lot of messing about I mean I was annoyed at filling up my mini pro tank 2 every 20 mins of vaping and now on my kayfun im filling up every hour lol still a lot of messing about. Tho saying that two days in a row now iv built a duff coil, last one lasted a week but past two meh mustn't of been concentrating lol
Soldato
It's actually less messing around tbh.
As long as you have the gear to power it, it's just a matter of coil, wick, drip and toot

Yeah. I tend to chain vape a fair bit and I usuall have to refill the KFL say, every 24 hours or so-ish.
Wow I use around 1 1/2 tanks on my KFL per day.
I am on 3ml nic though, still not good.
Soldato
Maybe I don't chain vape as much as I thought
Was using 11mg though.
Currently using 6mg in the dripper and it's a bit too much tbh. Gonna have to drop to 3mg and it's looking like I'll be making my own juice from next week.
Depends on whether you know vaping is for you really and how much you're prepared to spend.
I started straight away with a Kayfun and a Vamo V5, not having ever vaped previously. Was sick of ciggies and just wanted to get on with it.
Most people start with an IGO type vape pen for around £20 or less.

Well I'm not a smoker but a friend has one and I just loved the smell/taste of the redbull and bublegum

lol
What does he use?

Haha, I fill my Kayfun every hour or less, a 5000mah battery lasts me 2 hrs just a 18650, I vape 6mg, I use hmm, about 50ml of eliquid per day, I used to smoke a 50g pouch of tobacco every 2 and a half days though
lol
What does he use?
I've no idea, lol!
Soldato
Jesus!
I thought I was terrible getting through 50g every 4 days...
As for 50ml a day and filling every hour... Wow. I don't even know how that's possible.

Hehe, I smoke cheap eliquid though hangsen, I get it off the bay 1 pound for 10ml. well, maybe I was a bit ott, I used 38ml of liquid yesterday.
I used to use 20-30ml in my old protank 2 mini, used to have to fill it up all time cause it only held 2ml or so, but I liked it because you could make new coil bases for it, would just make a bunch and then just keep them stored ready just swap and away ya go, with the kayfun you gotta drain it, take it apart etc rather than just coil swapping, id use a coil per day on the protank 2 mini, this kayfun i used 5 days with 30g kanthal but well Iv just rebuilt my coil now that i made yesterday, past two days iv been using new 28g kanthal first time using 28g I used 30g before, first hour or so with new coil is twice as good as 30g but then after that its just gone absolutely black has the coil so this time iv blow torched the wire etc first to see if it was just some gunk on the wire and iv used less cotton than I usually do, so lets see how it gets on I guess
