I use a bottom feeder mod (VMODXL) and I am looking for a supply of bridgeless 510 atomizers I can get on the cheap. I currently use vaporhawk.com but their atomizers have a bridge and are slightly higher res than I like (1.7. I like 1.5). They ship directly from the manufacturer in China.

They are only 34$ USD for 20 of them though (shipping included). So I wanted to know if anyone knew any sites I could get bulk buys for these items in a comparable price range. They don't HAVE to be bridgeless just good for dripping/bottom feeding and cheap.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the info! However according to the shipping estimates it takes 30-45 days for shipping via Swedish Post!!!
Any other more reasonable locations anyone knows about (I don't mind waiting a bit, usually takes 2 weeks for vaporhawk but 45 days is excessive)

A small test order might not hurt. I have always gotten those long estimates from GH1 but they usually show up in about 9 days.

Green house one still stocks those.
Bridgeless Atomizers

Regarding those GH1 attys, specifically this one:

LR510 Bridgeless Atomizers Pack of 5

Not exactly sure what they mean by "rated at 1.5 ohms". I tested a five pack and they all consistently metered 1.9 ohms. That works fine for me but may not be what the OP wants.

They have a bizarrely tight draw.

They are not sealed on the bottom - there is the standard hole in the 510 connector - but liquid does not easily feed through that hole.

I have tried them on several different Reo bottom feeders and they only work well on my VV Reo Grand. The 510 connector on that one is different than my other Reos, and it's the only one I can get an acceptable draw on. They sorta work on a Vmod, but it's not what I would call a great experience between the feeding issue and the tight draw.

Good flavor, but I won't be reordering. Why?

Atty 1 lasted 12 days. Ok, I can accept that for a $3.00 atty.

Atty 2 popped the first time it was fired.

Atty 3 lasted less than 48 hours and popped.

Atty 4? Well, that's the point - in two weeks I'm now onto atty four out of five in the pack. I e-mailed Tim @ GH1 asking for at least a partial refund. Considering I was running them at all of 3.24 volts on the VV Grand you sure can't say it was from running them too hot and blowing them "on purpose."

Really a shame. The construction looks nice (at least it looks nice) and they do produce good flavor but this has been a crap experience with regard to life span or quality.

Swedish post took 24 days to Boston - but there was a six day delay on top of it before my order got out the door.

That Green House link was, ummm, ouch!

Ouch? You do realize those are the prices for a five pack.

I use LR 306 attys in my bottom-feeders, but I don't know if they work in a Vmod (the top thingy confuses me). I get mine here:

Genuine Joye 306 low resistance 10-pack of atomizers

They also sell 510 attys, but no bridgeless ones.

306 is fine in the Vmod. My personal problem with the Joyetech 306 is they start at 1.5 ohm and seem to drop to 1.39 ohm or lower in short order. Too hot for my tastes. The up side is they seem to last a long time.

Personal best preference for an unregulated bottom feeder is the Ikenvape I06 at 1.8 ohm. Good vapor and no harshness at that resistance. But they aren't "CHEAP" either.

No, I didn't.

I don't check the resistance of attys once I've started vaping on them, so I didn't know that. It's funny, but on a tube mod I usually vape about 7-8 watts, but on a bottom-feeder I will vape the same juice as hot as I can get it. I saw some IKV i06 attys in the classies, but they were 1.8Ω. I want to try 1.5, since that's what I've always dripped and vaped.

And I snatched all nine of 'em! :D Does kitty wanna 1.8 ohm to try? PM me a mailing address. (I haven't actually received them yet. Should be here Saturday.)

Whenever I have tried any 1.5 ohm atty on a mech bottom feeder I get harshness and spitting up the drip tip. That includes the Vapage things, Joyetech 306 or anything else. Just my experience/preference but a freshly charged battery putting out 3.7+ volts is just too much voltage at 1.5 ohms and nasty. At least with the VV Reo I can dumb it down to nearly 3.2 volts but 1.5 ohms still spit and tastes harsh to me.

Regarding the Ikenvapes: The I06 is slightly larger diameter than a standard 306, so you need to get the special drip tips to fit. No problem fitting in that Vapage Tunnel Calamity thing, but you do need the special drip tip to go with.

Thanks for all the info everyone I suppose I have a few vendors to try out. About these tank atomizers, will they work in a gravity fed bottom feeder mod like the VMOD? I've always used standard 510's (and as well some 306's but I can't find any I like plus the drip tips annoy me to all hell)

I'm currently waiting on a battery order from FastTech right now great prices there.

If these tank atomizers can work I may try them out next. Can anyone confirm?
