M401 atomizer disassembled - pics

[RjG]

... I have the Intellicig Evo which I believe is based on a 401 design. There is an arch wire mesh under which quite visibly sits a white arch

<snip>

In looking at the picture of the 401 which were posted earlier in this thread (which I will note look significantly different than the atomizer used in the Intellicig Evo).....

Just to clarify - That -is- the latest design. The current 401's also have the new white part under the bridge. Those pictures are of the "original" m401 atomizer from before they put the white part under the bridge.

Love the pics. I got my 40x a week ago (2 attys) and was curious to know what that particular part looked like on the inside, of course not curious enough to rip either of my fog making devices apart to find out

Nice camera & camera shots M8 needs a steady hand or stand ,as you have it perfect

thanks for the time and trouble to show us

I was thinking about one of these 200x digital micro jobbies $50+ but I think my old camera will do with a bit of reading up on the setup


What was I thinking I have just Googledd your camera..

They are $500 a pop...

I might still go for a digital microscope 200x @ £35.00 ...

What were you VAPING in the thing Heating oil ??? cotton candy ? man that looks like crap ! ROAD TAR !

Nope, sorry. That's regular e-cig juice. All atomizers look like that after a couple weeks, including yours. Ya, icky, I know.

There is no end of my love for Canadians. They are the nicest, friendiest people I have ever met. And Rj, you are a guru. I wish I had your class. And your camera. Grin. Nice job, thank you. And the opening ceremonies were killer.

To RJG (Randy), or some one else familiar with this atomizer,

Would you mind posting a sketch of how these parts of the atomizer nest together? I am trying to better understand how they work, but I am not certain about how they would look in actual use. In particular, how does the air flow over this assembly?

If this is too much trouble, perhaps a good way to facilitate communication is to label the first two drawings with names for the parts. I would do that for, but I don't want to impose new names for items that already have established names.

RJG -- Now we all now what our attys look like gunked up after normal use. Thanx for that ewwww lol

Seriously-

My question is, have you tried to soak the loose gunked up parts in anything to clean them? I'm thinking if you can find out what works the best to get rid of the gunk from the inside out ... we can all learn a lot more on how and what works best to clean and maybe prolong their life span.


Example: I would love to see if soaking them in something like vinegar removes the deposits. I know that running regular vinegar through a coffee pot works wonders at doing just that... If that were the case, I'd happily soak my atty's in a cup overnight once a week to make them last at least a month or two longer!

...just an idea
