NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE KANGER DRIPEZ – 12/15/16

THE KANGER DRIPEZ

Ok, I’m sure there are people out there who don’t think this looks ridiculous, but I’m not convinced I’m one of them. 🙂

Here’s the Kanger Dripez! One part giant mod, one part badly designed atomizer, and one part perfume dispenser. Alright, let’s give them some points for originality and creativity and get serious for a minute.

In addition to reminding me of a perfume bottle, it also reminds me of a manual version of the Eclipse EQ.  An Eclipse EQ?  What the hell is that?  At least Basil Ray will remember what I’m talking about.

This is a single 18650, 80W device with variable wattage, temperature control, and is firmware upgradable. It has an onboard glass bottle that holds about 15ml of e-liquid. Instead of dripping or squonking with this one, you’re pumping. No wonder why Dimitris likes it so much!

The perfumed style pump, pumps the liquid out of the glass bottle and into the side of the atomizer.

Let’s talk about that atomizer for a minute.

First, it comes with that little anti-spit back insert that fell out of a similar atomizer on me and was melted by the coil.

Second, the air slot on this is completely missing the coil and it way too high, IMHO of course.

Third, when I saw the post design, I thought WHY does it not have a Velocity style post for dual coils?? Easy answer, it’s not designed for dual coils. The little spout on the side of the atomizer that the tube connect to could easily short a coil so they recommend a single coil only and want to you be sure it’s on the opposite side of the spout. I’m quite sure people will ignore that in the manual, build a dual coil, not realize there’s a piece of metal sticking out on the inside of that atomizer and wonder why it’s shorting out.

Fourth, on their site it says is comes with something called the Push RBA 0.3 Ohm X 1 (Mouth to lung inhale).  I see nothing about the included atomizer that will do proper mouth to lung.

The fire and control buttons are very lose and super rattly on this one. It works best if you pick it the right way and use the side of your thumb to fire it.

Those of you who like simpler looking devices may want to stay away from this one because it screams… “What the fuck is that?” 🙂

Those of you who love to drip, but hate the act of dripping and squonking, this one may be right up your alley!
