510 Atty Question

[WarsawNan]

I have a Volcano Magma e-cig. The atty died after just 2 weeks. I have attys I've been using on other e-cigs that are still working after 2 months. Volcano wouldn't replace the dead atty, so I'm not wanting to buy from them anymore.

Question: Is there a specific type of 510 atty I need to look for that will work with my Magma, or are all 510 attys the same?

TIA.

All 510 atomizers will fit and work properly, but they are not all the same.
I suggest trying to get genuine Joye 510 atomizers, but I'm not sure how you go about that.

I bought 30 atomizers over a year ago, so I am not up to speed on the various types that are around now.

I did buy some SLB 510s at one point, just to try them since they are supposed to have higher resistance.
I didn't like them though.

But then, other people might very well suggest you get SLBs because they like them.
So there you go.

Is SLB a brand? Why didn't you like them?

TIA

I would buy some Mega 510 attys from HealthCabin, a very good supplier out of China. You can also get them from local suppliers. The Mega 510 atty has a slightly longer tube than the regular atty, and takes a slightly larger cart.

SLB denotes the Sailebao made atomizers.

They have a higher resistance, which produces less vapor but probably more flavor.
Their resistance (ohms) puts them in the same range as a 901 atomizer.

I recommend Joye 510's. They last me on average 6 weeks before they start to fade. I get mine from Pure Smoker in bulk at $5.00 a piece for a 25+ purchase.

Sorry to be such a PITA, but I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to electronics. I'm on the Pure Smoker site looking at the Joye 510 atty recommended by nomochokes (thx). I have to choose low, standard or high resistance type. No idea at all what's what. Which "resistance" do I want???

I appreciate everyone's help!

High resistance is only for high voltage battery mods, like 5v or even higher.
I assume you are running 3.7v or less, so you don't want those.

Low resistance atomizers give much more vapor and throat hit.
They basically get a lot hotter than standards because of the lower resistance.
It is like simulating high voltage vaping without getting a high voltage battery mod.

To use low resistance atomizers, you have to have stronger batteries supposedly.
The recommendation is at least 450mah I believe, but I'm not sure I remember correctly.

So you'd need an Ego/Riva/Tornado or equivalent at least.

A lot of people love the low resistance because they can take smaller drags and get lots of vapor.
And some people, like me, don't like them because we like to take long drags and they make the juice taste burnt.

Where local can you get the 510 mega attys
Thanks

I Love the Low resistance 510s. Although I have been sticking to the Joye branded ones as the other brands just seemed somewhat inconsistent.

I use the eastmall LR510's and they are sturdy

Weird that your magma atty died in 2 weeks. They are one of my prefered attys. If not those, GENUINE Joye attys come in extremly close.
