The Vapemate from Super-T Manufacturing

One of the problems with dripping and, to some extent, using cartomizers, is walking the fine line between flooding and dry hits.  Too much and you’re sucking a mouthful of juice, too little and your lungs feel like they’re about to catch fire.

Dripping Made Easy

Satin Vapemate with Joyetech 510 Atomizer and 30ml of HHV Serendipity

Enter the Vapemate from Super T Manufacturing.  This little device pops into the top of your atomizer, where the drip tip would normally go, and allows you to attach most standard-sized juice bottles.  A little squeeze of the bottle feeds juice into the atomizer, eliminating the need to fumble with the bottle or aim the drip spout when things start to get dry. The Vapemate can be particularly handy if you’re into drippers, and have ever tried to top off while on the move. Trying to drip juice into an atomizer while walking or driving is typically asking for a mess (or worse, an accident). With the Vapemate, however, you just tilt the PV a little, give it a squeeze, and you’re back up and running.

The device is ingeniously simple: it’s a single piece of anodized aluminum, available in a variety of colors. There are three connections: one into which you screw your juice bottle (the bottle can be used with a dripper spout still installed, which we appreciate), one for a drip tip, and the third which you insert into the drip tip socket on your atomizer.  This makes it very easy to install, as well as to move to another PV, or to switch juices.  A small window allows you to see juice as it flows from the bottle into the atomizer, so you can be sure it’s flowing through the Vapemate.

There’s a slight learning curve involved. If you’re accustomed to dripping, for example, it can be a bit difficult at first to judge exactly how much juice the Vapemate is feeding the atomizer.  We’ve found that the learning period is rather short, though.  Within under an hour of using the Vapemate, we weren’t even looking at the window any more, having a pretty good feel how to angle the bottle and how much to squeeze it to get just the right amount of juice into the atomizer.

The Vapemate comes with a spare parts bag that includes two small plastic juice bottles, replacement o-rings, and spare plastic tubing for inside the unit. While the Vapemate typically sells for $49.99, as of the time of this writing Super-T has a sale on blemished Vapemates, for $29.99, and ours was purchased during this sale.  We think we may have finally found the blemish on ours, but it’s a finishing mark that’s very small, doesn’t affect the operation of the unit in any way, and we really had to search for it.
