Atomizer suggestions

[sjoat]

What is a leak-proof (or hard for it to leak) atomizer that isn't a 22mm?

Looking for something in the Atomic/RM4 size range and for MTL and flavour.

Suggestions?

Don't say Nuppin (unless you want to sell me one)

edit: RM4 or smaller I guess. Oh and cheaper than a Chalice (unless you want to give me one)

Others can be more helpful than I but I'm really enjoying my Cyclone lately.

The Manta is top air and nigh leakproof. It's 22mm in outer diameter but has a restricted inner chamber that's 14.6mm. Super flavour.

Not sure of your not-22mm requirement, but if it's performance based (rather than aesthetic), you'd be happy with the manta.

Sucks..that 16mm of the nuppin fits the top of the reo perfectly.

That cyclone with afc also looks great on a reo. I have one I'll be selling as soon as I get off my lazy .....

I don't think I'd call the Cyclone leak-proof. At all... I do like 'em, but juice comes out the AFC airholes...
Under 22, the challenge is if you want AIR or DUALS, you are seriously limited.
If you like a tight draw, then there are a bunch of other options, not found new everywhere, but people have them and you could find them - things like a ERA or a PDA or a Reactor...
But for air? Nuppin, sorry.

I can't agree. Maybe because the wick or I don't over squonk or just I have a smaller air hole on my AFC than you but no leaking here.

Yeah if you don't have it all the way open on the afc no probs. Of course some don't have a low drain hole which helps.

Didn't know that. Good to know....thanks.

I'm being fussy. I'm not having leaking problems, but even an occasional leak on my Woodvil sucks. Can live with it on my metal Reos. Thank y'all for the suggestions

The chalice is virtually leak proof and you can often find them cheaper in the classies. Other than that I dunno of any top air esque 14mm attys. I wish they'd make more options for smaller attys these days

What wrong with an RM2 for a M-T-L vaper ? If you can live with single coils anywhere from 0.7 to 2.0 ohms ( from 7 Watts up to 20 Watts) then the RM2 is very difficult to beat. The only time it leaks is if I over squonk. Or if I over fill the bottle in Summer heat.
Have you tried the RM2 yet ?

 

[supertrunker]

i always used to make a parallel coil in my RM2s to get down to the resistance i wanted without having to drill more holes in it.

It's a very versatile and robust atty. I went from that onto RM4s (Atomics) for the better airflow options.

[PapawBrett]

Don't get me wrong.... I have noting against the RM4. In fact, I have one. But in the OP the comments 'Mouth to Lung' and 'Flavor' were mentioned. So I believe either the RM2 or the RM4 would work, depending on if this person wants single or dual coils.

 

[sjoat]

It's funny how often these kinda threads always default back to "RM2"

@PapawBrett, it's what I use, and there's nothing wrong! I really like it. I'm a relative RBA noob but I've tinkered to the max and I think I wanna branch out and have a look at other atomizers now. RM4 is winning so far based on what I've read and seen. Just want least leaky as a priority, if there's such a thing

 

[PapawBrett]

No problem. If you are looking for something to try other than the RM2, then the RM4 would be a good choice. There used to be an RBA called the Hornet, and it was very good as well. But I don't know if anyone is still making them....

 

[supertrunker]

The most leakproof atties would be something like the mantas or top air ones that are similar.

Any that have that kind of inner/outer sleeve air flow thing going on will be less likely to leak. Unfortunately the more air you wish to have hitting your coils, the more prone anything is to leaking.
I found the RM4 to be a decent compromise.

What happens at about that point is that you are settled with a juice you like and things are ticking along nicely, your choices widen. Single or dual coils? Maximum airflow or brilliant flavour?
These are not as easy to answer as you think but the answer will dictate where you go from there - perhaps to flavour atties like the marquis or flat-out cloud chasers like the dark horse.

As the atties increase in size they tend to accommodate one vaping style better than another. There are few all-round versatile 22mm atties - maybe a plume veil, but it has more holes than a rivet-catcher's glove, so the leaking might put you off.

Are you inside my head? That's literally the other one I want, mostly because of how well it sits on an original Mini 1.0. I'm a sucker for aesthetics.

(Chowderhead1972 said he had some available when I asked him a few weeks ago. I'm sure I will find when the time comes.)

"Looking for something in the Atomic/RM4 size range and for MTL and flavour."

I don't really like my Atomic, but I can't help you with mid size atty's since I can't mention what I use instead (the 'N' word) because nobody is going to ever get any of mine away from me.

Lots of smaller than Atomic choices that are really great atty's for flavor and MTL, and most DLH if drilled. I don't like bigger than mid size atty's on my Reos though.

I have a Hornet because I have a 2011 Mini that not much else will fit in. I like other small footprint atty's better than it, wish I could run a Chalice on it like all my new Mini 1.0's and 14500 Woodvil's.

 

[supertrunker]

if you use a 510 adaptor in a mini, you can overcome the limitations of the catchcup and use what you like. Otherwise even an A6 is a squeeze.

[Spydro]

I'm not going to use an adapter, have an A6 and a couple of RM3's (never tried them in it)... but I bought the Hornet for it, I wouldn't use it anywhere else so just leave it where it is.

ETA... I just tried an A6/RM3 and they are not even close to being able to fit in this Mini.
