Mini Pipe atomizer review....the results are in!

Knutselpeter created it and designed it, that's why.

Knutselpeter created it and designed it, that's why.

What is in the design than makes this vape better than other e cigarettes? At first I thought it was the battery...but turns out the battery isn't much more powerful or longer lasting than a penstyle.

I think its a mix.

The atomiser is slightly diferent - nothing huge, but (and I can only compare to smokster's atomisers) the bridge seems larger (not pulled one apart to examine a coil yet) and the hole placement 'will' change the way airflow passes over the coil (ergo affect the way vapour is produced and sent up the mouthpiece).

Also, although the battery time isn't that much greater (I find it about the same to be honest, but then as a true pipe smoker - I am murder on batteries anyway) the power delivered is slightly higher, (thats amps not volts) & I find it heats my atomisers more than even a passthrough. (quite a lot more)

Tooling for 'these' atomisers might be slightly better,(but I'll reserve judgment till I try a couple more) or the coil wire might even come from a different supplier and have a slightly different composite mix. Also with items this small, even tight tollerences could make quite a big diference in performance - which would help explain the large diference in even the same co's atomisers (I'm was originally trained as a toolmaker, and also done my time in r&d)

But so far. I am finding it exceeds all my pens with or without passthrough. With the exception of one lucky mix of one of Smokesters pen atomisers (which has always been without a collar) and the mini pipe - but that has always been an exceptional atomiser. Other experiments by me in this line have produced mixed results.

Design wise (for e-pipes) I think it is heading in the right direction (unlike the ruyan one) - we're not there yet, but I can see a (few) ways it could go.

I don't think it can be the atomizer design though because since mine were kind of cranky, I've been using 2 white ones I purchased from puresmoker some time back.....and these things are still awesome. Great vapor and throat hit....generic atomizer. So I'm stumped too.

Who sells this Lady Pipe? I am intrigued.

Smilin doesn't have his site up yet but he will have them for sale pretty shortly here:

I am using a rn4072 atomizer with the collar removed which at present is giving very good vapour with a darn good throat hit!

I have a penstyle mod which takes a aa lithium battery which sometimes can give too much power and burn the liquid so i am taking a shot that the battery is of perfect size/amp/voltage giving such good results!

Thx for the review !

Silk and Ted 26...thanks for the response....interesting stuff. How are amp/voltage different?

Lu, to get the 801 atomizers to work you have to file or grind the band down a little. the band hits the pipe body and stops the internal connector from connecting. I've done this to mine and they work great, much better then the factory atomizers. I even put a couple small notches in the band to allow for more air flow. After modifying they still work on the 801 stuff.

Vince...I asked some one (I think it was epipeman) regarding original vs 801 atomizers for the mini pipe. They said bestecig 801 fit well with out modification...but produced much "airier" vapor. Which 801s ats did you modify?
