Is there a better atomizer design?

[Nazareth]

Bob I think ya talked me into buying soem E-Cigars from DealExtreme. Hows the vapor on them? I need good vapor. For that price htough I could buy 4 a month and still be nearly $100 cheaper than my regular cigarettes cost @ $13.60 for two packs of Marlboro

I wish they'd just go with hte more expensive original idea for sonic the atomizer- Depending on how expensive it is, it might just be worth it havign a product that doesn't burn out every other week

bob- how long did it take for your order to arrive from DEX? Saw some reviews on their site & some said it took a very long time, and others complained that some items were out of stock but not listed as such on the site & they waited a long time before even finding that out- how many itmes have ya ordered from them?

I've ordered twice and shipments were within a week, as I recall. They are OUT a lot of the time due to the incredible demand at their prices. I only have the automatic cigar model, BTW. I'd like to order the manual switch, but can't justify more e-smoking stuff at the moment. I bought a mini cig from them and it's been pretty much a flop in every way (although I still use it as a kind of placebo).

Vapor from the e-cigar is wimpy, but it's fine for the puffing I do with it. This is NOT a cigarette with clouds of vapor billowing out. Nope. But I do love the feel of it and the perfect draw for puffing. Not recommended for vapor clouds, however. That's been my experience, with just one unit.

[Nazareth]

thanks TB- The reviews I read on it a DEX said they htought it had good clouds, but perhaps they just htink it is not having other devices which produce better vapor to compare it to? Or maybe you got a bit of dud model? Have you only tried just one cigar from them? Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a bit nervous bout getting it & not liking it. I'm goign back and forth between gettign either htis or a MyEcig pen

Dead-on comment, Mr. Darcy.

My cigar is a Hummer; my pen style cig is a Ferrari.

what cigar do you use bob ?

[TropicalBob]

Bought from DealExtreme back in January, so it's a Health model. The atomizer has never failed, even once, and I'm using the original batteries. I puff it daily -- but there's no real vapor to speak of. It heats up, all is fine, but it's a wimp. I load it up with highly flavored Kahlua coffee extract and sweet vegetable glycerine. Great taste. Tiny little wisp of vapor.

These were hot numbers back in January and knutselpeter ordered four of the manual ones after being impressed. I doubt he's impressed any more. The e-smoking world is evolving rapidly. If I want invisible nicotine, I can get it from a Nicotrol Inhaler offered by Big Pharma. But we've come to appreciate the psychological value of seeing something when we exhale, same as cigarette smoking.

Hi all - First time poster, just ordered an Njoy and my order is pending, I hope to receive (fingers crossed) by Wednesday the 13th.

This thread started with a better atomizer design and then wondered off, but it occured to be that some of the items in the e-cig are in the wrong place. Let me see if I can explain

the air flow <--------------
mouth piece - cartridge - atomizer - battery
the liquid flow ------------>


seems to me that this would be better although I have no idea how it would be realized
the air flow <--------------
mouth piece - atomizer - cartridge - battery
the liquid flow <------------

I think this way the draw wouldn't fight the the liquid from getting to the wick and prevent the atomizer from having problems.

Just wondering what you all think?
