Which atomizer is best?

[Kent C]

OaklandCA:
i want to know the pros and cons of various vaporizers in order of importance to me.

1.) vapor and taste production ( i assume these are linked but maybe not.)

Vapor is a result of the combination of the voltage of the battery (not the stated voltage but the working voltage). A 510 oem batt can put out 3.0-3.2v. A Tornado/eGo a bit more. A 14500 batt in mods will get you 3.7+Volts. And you have 5, 6, 7.2V mods.

Combine that with the ohm rating of the atomizers and you'll get variied levels of vaporization.

The regular Joye 510 atty has a lower ohm rating and runs warmer than any other atty and will hence produce more vapor given that the voltage is constant.

Some flavors are enhanced by heat, some flavors are diminished by it. Stronger flavors usually respond favorably. Lighter flavors not so good. Strong flavors don't taste the same on a 901 as they do on a 510 and fruit/berry flavors do better on an 801 or 901 than on the 510, imho, and this is a fairly common experience. ymmv, of course.

2.) longevity

As far as long between chargers the mAh rating is a good measure and even though the ratings may be exaggerated, they are consistent in their exaggeration - I figure 100mAh = about 1 hour. So a 900mAh batt can last 9 hours, ymmv....

If you mean battery life, that's in the number of charges that a batt will take and that is usually in the specs. Don't have a chart to show you, sorry.

3.) ease of connection with reliable and standard batter options (510 preferred)

Never had a problem with the 510. There are adapters for almost all attys now. Some cartomizers don't work with some cartomizer type batteries but forget exactly which models - green cig or green smoke... I think green smoke is the one that isn't compatible with others.

3.) low maintenance

I find using the 3.7V at peak voltage with mods tends to self clean attys. The less cleaning the better. I didn't used to think that, but I only clean now if there is a performance drop.

4.) price

The Joye 510 starter kit a cignot is one of the best deals out there. 2 full ecigs (not the case with all 'starter kits' and a regular wall charger - again, sometimes you only get a usb charger), charger, cartridges and the choice of colors in LED and batt type - get the manual type :-) Although the Joye 510 auto is one of the better ones - no timeouts or cutoffs.

If you get that the best price to a 3.7peak volt mod is to make one yourself - nicostick or get a Bartleby.

Not ready for that but want more battery life - Tornado/eGo.

Want to try cartomizers? V4L or get an adapter for the 510 to run cartomizers.

Like the lighter flavors -berries/fruits/vanilla/candy flavors - get 901 or 801 - 801 has a huge cartridge. Try a Joye Stick V3....

i'm trying to figure out how to try the atomizers and carts and juices without spending hundreds.

my 510 manual mega battery works fine (4 hours or so and i can usually charge at some point in the day) I can buy em local pretty cheap if it starts to fade so i have the electricity part solved. (the first couple batteries i bought barley even last my commute and i live close to work)

the idea i got from another thread was buy some cheap little adapters and then start picking up various disposables (attys and carts) without replacing the chargers and batteries

now i'm trying to figure out how to build the collection without buying starter kit after starter kit ( (i bought two and then wised up and bought atomizers and batteries that fit one another)

this business about the temperature and the flavors explains a lot. the longevity i'm wondering about is the atomizer failure rate.

My initial atomizer ran great for about 2 weeks and then lost steam. I haven't tried cleaning it cuz i don't have any mouthwash at hand etc. anyway i sprang for a couple new atomizers same threads but different vent holes.

meanwhile ran out of fresh carts and went to refill and dripping so i can't tell if the weaker jolt is from the lack of a "real" cartridge.

i like the idea if getting an adapter so i can try some of the other carts--the style i have is a bit on the messy side.

is there such a thing as a cart where you dont have to pull it off to top off or refill. some sort of little hatch maybe that slides back and you drip some juice in and keep on going?
