A couple months ago I started a project to build an atomizer from scratch. I had all sorts and sizes of brass and aluminum tubes, silicone tubing, nichrome wire, tiny drill bits, etc. I did get a prototype together that somewhat, almost worked... then I decided I was over complicating things. The commercial 510 atty works very well as-is... EXCEPT it's only really good for a couple weeks. When an atty dies (or weakens), there are really only 2 worn out parts - the nichrome coil and the wick - and both of these materials are dirt-cheap. $10 will get you enough nichrome wire and wick material to last a lifetime. Everything else in the atty could last for years. My new project is to slightly modify a 510 atty so that the coil and wick can be changed out easily - with no soldering. I'll post in detail when my prototype is ready. Right now I'm waiting on some tiny diamond-coated drill bits because that's what's needed to drill into the ceramic cups.
a simple search would yield exactly what you are looking for , and a quick browse would see that 99% of this thread has been gone over exactly 42 times...
cigar atomizers are not bigger wire , a lot of them are the same , just with a larger cartridge and bridge. the disposables i bought , have just slightly larger ceramic cups than a stock 901 atty , but not much. the coil is about the same.
you guys are trying to design something that has been done repeatedly , not trying to dump in your coco cereal , but look around...
and dry "tobacco" and wet
eliquid vape at different temps. a "tobacco" vaporizer does not work with
eliquid , nor does putting eliquid on "tobacco" work...so dont bother wasting eliquid or pot...

I'm kinda handy and I think I have some of those parts lying around.
