A7 From Empire Mods?

[hildicat]

A7 Stainless Steel Rebuildable Atomizer
Anyone try this yet? According to the one review it has an open center post, draws air from the bottom instead of the body, and can be used on a bottom feeder. At $20 it sounds like a win-win for Reo fans. Just wondering if anyone has tried this guy yet.

If it will fit in a REO catch well, it looks like I'll have to buy a couple

 

[tobarger]

According to the one reviewer:
The catch cup on the REO is large enough to accept this atomizer without using an adapter
"The best part is that this means they can be used on feeders unlike other rebuildables on the market. I have one on my Reo and it fits flawlessly"

Got one coming, should be here today Will report back after 5pm PST

 

[Cyrus Vap]

yes please

watching these like a hawk

i asked Keith at Empire about the build, and he said its all stainless, which is good

assuming its the same as the unit above "sailing?" or whatever it is, interesting that the chinese are now putting out all stainless gear at a low price

 

[MXBNW]

Mail did not contain my A7 today Should be here tomorrow I hope.

Thanks for the heads up. My first one will be in today, so here is hoping for something good.

 

[hildicat]

Awesome! Just ordered one from Avid. It cost me about $27 shipped, a bit more than Empire but still not too bad if it works well. Wayne I'm hoping to hear some good things from you later tonight...

This looks interesting, I have been looking around for a chalice, but this seems more reasonable for a reo.

 

[Cyrus Vap]

Avid eh? I'm going for it. Cisco ain't done me dirty yet!

 

[MXBNW]

Just got one today in the mail.

Seams to work ok, Draw is relay light. Like a loos 901

The wick sits way above the feed tube that is in it. But with the stock wick set up seams to wick fast.

I am going to put an o-ring on the bottom and drill a side hole. And try to drop the wick set up closer to the feed line.

Got some juice in the CC of the Grand while playing with it. Sits tall on the grand

Will not fit Mini 2.0, Standard Woodvil, REO Mini 1.0 or First run VVW.

I will keep playing with it but not going to spend a lot of $ on these. I think it will take some moding for most to like using them.

I will change out the Stock wick and wire tonight and let it brake in, but out of the box its no ERA or Challis.

Just my 2c

 

[Cyrus Vap]

damn I just ordered, hope you get it blazing

looking at the pic I was thinking maybe some NR wire would make it easier to get the coil assembly lower. or a massive thick wick

if its a light draw, why the O ring and extra hole?

 

[Cyrus Vap]

Also I'd be curious to hear how a battle between

modded pheonix vs. A7 vs. chalice vs. ERA pans out on the Reo

 

[MXBNW]

I wont to stop the air from coming from the bottom and do an air intake form the side, I think it will work better.

Well, one of the things I liked about the Steam Machine is that the air came from the bottom right up to the coil. To me that gave a distinct flavor bump and produced tons of vapor. I'm wondering if a long cotton wick hanging down from the coil into the cup would make for better wicking. And as for the airy draw, well I drilled out my Chalice and Phoenix to achieve just that so maybe this might be a win for me. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the heads up Wayne!

If all goes well I should be able to make that comparison next week.

Stay tuned...
