I have heard that dips are a great chest exercise, and I have been doing them for a few weeks. Thing is, I don't know how to exercise the chest muscles while doing dips rather than the triceps. Is there a specific technique? Thanks.

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
When you dip, dip forward, this way your arms are planted and you aren't pulling them in from the sides.

Great question.
Its simple. As you lower your self hunch forward a little and tilt your head down and forward slightly. Youe legs will naturally kick back slightly at that point. As you raise yourself gradually lift up your head up and back slightly and un-hunch yourself. Takes practice to get the form down.
Good luck.

Listen to smack. Just get into the groove of wherever you are strongest. This likely is going to involve multiple muscle groups rather than just your triceps since more muscles would be providing force.
You realize you don't have to feel a muscle being worked for it to be worked right? It's impossible to dip without your chest. People are used to the question of 'targetting' the chest in dips but your question is worded more along the lines that you think you're using triceps and no chest.
I started doing romanian deadlifts the other day and from what i've read a lot of people don't feel it in their hamstrings. I didn't either and i woke up the next morning sore as hell in my hams.

Ahhnold always said to visualize the muscle you're wanting to target. Concentrate on it during the lift. I got some good results doing that. You'd be surprised how much weight lifting is mental.
And trust me, no matter how you do dips, you're hitting your lower inner chest big time.

there are 2 ways to do dips..
to hit more of the chest you must dip low and Think about making your elbows touch each other at the bottom of the movement Squeeze your shoulder blades tight.
To use more tricep keep your arms parallel during the movement.
