Atty design question, not a mod perse.. (Socketed atomizer elements?)

[Vapinginjapan]

It would seem that with the highly consumable rates of atomizer elements, it would make alot of sense to make an atomizer housing that could take socketed atomizer elements. This would significantly reduce the cost of replacing a dead atomizer, as you only need the platform, wiring, steel wool bridge, and wicking material, instead of the entire plastic housing and internal wiring.

While this would indeed be for more advanced experts only, it would certainley be worth the effort if you go through say, an atomizer a week, if atomizer elements could cost $4 instead of $8. You could probably get a whole bag of them for minimal cost. Heh.

Aditionally, I think it would be highly entertaining to see an atomizer housing run dual atomizers off the same central wick, that could produce some SERIOUS vapor!

Aditionally, this would make cleaning atomizers much easier. Just pull out the socket, dump it in your cleaning sollution, and not have to worry about dousing the entire housing.

Yes please
Could be a bit fiddly to insert/remove tho.

The existing posts that support the coil could be made much sturdier.The absorbant metal covering the bridge could be seperate from the absorbant metal arround the ceramic pot thus allowing lifting the bridge out with a pair of tweezers..The coil could then be exchanged if fitted with push fit connectors each end and could be pushed on to the sturdy posts then the bridge replaced. If you drip you would not need the bridge at all.

I have been thinking about this same thing, but as I was reading your post, I thought of something that hadn't ocurred to me before. At first I was thinking about a snap in design...then I started thinking...what if we made it so that you could just screw a new one in like a light bulb and snap the tube over top? That way one would never have to mess with any wires or anything when they went to replace the old coils...just screw out, screw in!? I might have to go buy some tiny bulbs and check this out! (not saying to use the actual innerds of a light bulb of course, i just like the screw in idea!
