Interest Check: Custom Resistance Atomizers

[Shreck]

I don't think it'd matter either way, it seems like from most testing people have determined the weak point has always been the solder joint, not the the wire itself separating under heat.

HHmmmm. I guess I didnt realize that.Quite likely at the normal vaping voltage, but all the attys I have taken apart after death, from high volt vaping, have had the coil itself broken into two pieces. Kind of like a light bulb when it pops. With liquid on an open hot coil, it seems this is inevitable.

I realize what your trying to do with the batteries, I just thought that if maybe they were using a larger diameter wire, It may reduce the likelihood of the attys "popping" so frequently. But like you said , even with a longer coil, you are getting more resistance, so maybe this in itself would help the atty life as well. As it seems the extreme heat is what causes this to happen in the first place.

Nerf, Thanks for the time and effort you put into things like this for the entire Modding community.

Yes, thank you Nerf for what you are doing!!

Im in and would like to try 801s.

It's not the size of the coil thats causing them to pop, it's the fact that these atomizers were designed to handle 5 watts or less, and at 7.4v you're looking at cranking out 12-15+ watts, thats a lot more heat than they were designed for. We can reduce that wattage via voltage regulation, but it just seems to me that it's a whole hell of a lot easier to use an atomizer tailor made for specific voltages.

I'm in for 10 801's that can handle 6 V

[JamieJ]

AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR offering them to us!!

I will also throw my hat in the ring for 5 510's for 7.4 volts.
Thanks for the opportunity!!!!

I was going to edit the OP for this, but it might be missed and it's pretty important, so it gets its own post.

Just to make sure credit gets where credit is due, this idea came to fruition from a conversation Cisco and I were having the other day. So don't just thank me, at least not for the idea, Cisco had a big part in it - I've just got more contacts with different suppliers from all of my connector hunting. The lesson here is not to write important posts slightly inebriated with someone in the room bugging you to pay attention to them, because important things get left off.

On another note, is there anyone who wants something /other/ than atomizers specced to handle 7.4v (2x 3v li-ion rechargeables)?

[nubee]

Sounds like 7.4v interest will be the tops given the variety of sizes/shapes for 2 x 3.7v

I'm in for 801's at the 7.4v mark.

[Stormynights]

Count me in Nerf. I might like to try all sizes.

Since you asked, how about 5v manual batteries?

Seems that's the sweet spot a lot of moders like, yet the manufacturers do not make them. Yet.

Thanks for your research Nerf!
