510 Atomizer Taken apart.

[JesterDev]

Had an Atty blow out on me today, so I figured I would take it apart. More or less it was a decent attempt.

The first image is the coil that is just under the bridge. The bridge is somewhere on the floor, but I don't think it matters much as it was/is similar to the other that is already posted.

This image is the inside taken out, the ground wire (black) was disconnected when I pulled the insides out. The Red wire is hot, it was soldered the the battery end (see the dab of solder). The Ground was soldered just below, and inside inner wall of the atty itself. (Note the part that screws into the atty was destroyed when taking it apart.

Mesh removed - Note that the casing not plastic it is ceramic.

Finally here is everything together, and the coil unraveled. There coil itself was wrapped around some sort of black fiber, or maybe that was just burnt crap. There is no ceramic cylinder inside the coil. The Red wire is still attached the the red wire.

It is of my personal belief that more CURRENT not voltage will extend the life of the atty, and a wider gauge coil will provide more surface area and therefore more vapor. The higher the voltage the more heat, the less lifespan the atty has, this is not to say that heat is not needed, just that when we have now is enough if not MORE then enough to boil the juice. - Then again these are just conclusions that I have come to after reading several posts on these forums, so I take no credit for any of this paragraph.

Hope this helps in some way.

nice pics. wondered what they looked like. lol

Very good thoughts.....I would have to agree with your theory. Thanks for the pics too!

V = IxR (Volts equals Current times Resistance)

Ohms law is not just a good idea.. it's a LAW! The atty has a fixed resistance (for the most part), so if you increase the voltage that you put across it, the current will increase proportionally. If you increase the current that flows through it, the voltage across it will increase proportionally. Just no getting around it. It's a fixed relationship.

The bottom line is POWER. POWER generates heat, and heat vaporizes fluid. There is no real voodoo going on here.

Hmmm Maybe I should take a physics class ... oh yea ... that is next quarter!

Thanks for sharing, there is a serious lack of disassembly pictures, which really help in reverse-engineering ecigs.

Right... it IS a law. The current flowing through a wire, or component is what generates heat and is directly related to the power... that is why resistors and components are rated in wattage. If the resistance stays constant and the voltage increases; the current increases - hence the power goes up... generating more heat.
I am wanting to work on a layout for an atty that increases surface area and, hopefully, will give more vapor without much increase in current.

Oh d**n... I just found this thread - I posted the same thing this evening....

Look at the plastic insulator that the two wires run through. See how the center air hole is melted and has closed up a bit? That creates a "hard draw".. and then the atty starts to run even hotter.

I'm so glad you had this picture.. I was talking about this very thing in the other thread.

So thats what they look like. Thanks for the pics.
