Best LR Atomizer for Dripping with the KGO 1100mAh (4.0v under load)

[NuMystic]

Been loving my KGO + 1.25 Dual Coil Cartos from Hoosier, but need a solution for testing new flavors because filling an entire cart just to find I don't like something is a terrible waste of liquid that is only going to get traded or sold. Not to mention I've got to either smoke the whole darn thing or wash/boil/dry before being able to use the cart again.

What atomizer well suited to dripping will give me the closest heat/vapor/flavor/TH to what I'm used to with these? I'd like get a reasonable sense of what a new flavor will actually be like when it passes muster and earns a place in the SmokTech dual coil carto if possible.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations and insights!

This is a good question, and I am hanging around to see what answers come up. I too have a kGo and love it with the 1.25s. I guess I need several attys, because I have been trying every flavor on cartos. I just cleaned 100 (yes, 100) cartos a couple weeks back. I still have many flavors to try out. Yes, attys would be easier.

Hey guys, I'm searching for the perfect atomizer for my Kgo too. I tried to use it with the 1.5 ohm LR 510 atomizers and ran into problems. Everytime I put one on the Kgo that had been performing halfway decently with my Joye 510 it burned up the wick, and I would tend to get a terrible burned taste. I did some experimenting and eventually found that I got nearly acceptable performance from a 510 LR atty if I dewicked it first.

Next month I'm going to buy a couple of 306 attys from madvapes and try them both with and without the wick. The 2.5 ohm atomizer that came with Kgo gave horrible performance, and I ended up throwing it out. Just not enough vapor. I'm thinking that a Boge/Smoketech atomizer running at 2.0 ohms with the wick still intact will do the trick. They have them at Madvapes also.

I get the best performance of course with 510 dual coil clear cartomizers. But, if I don't keep them topped off I quickly end up with black sludgy liquid in the cart, and have to wash it out. If I'm having this many problems at 4.0v, I can imagine what it would be like with a 5v passthrough.

Don at BackWoodsBrew.net recommended these two…

510 LR Bridgeless Atomizer

306 LR atomizer 510

Just wanted to say I learned something a few days ago. I know it sounds crazy, but try using your Kgo without the cone on. I still had a couple of atomizers left. They're so old the paint is peeling. But, I tried them without the cone on, and these didn't burn up! It seems pulling a larger quantity of cool air through is keeping them from overheating. Also, the cone insulates the atomizer inside so heat can build up.

I realize one of the reasons I had never experienced a burnt taste before is that with the 510 I'm very aware of how hot the atomizer is becoming. I always stopped before it felt too warm. Wasn't doing that with the Kgo, and now my problems are gone.

Blech, I am using the atomizer that came with the Kgo, and I keep getting juice in my mouth from the drip tip. I also like the 1.25 dual coil cartos. But what do I use for trying all these new juices?

Can you use the cartridges that come with the kit for trying new juices? I assume I should wash them in vodka or something first?

I've done that Sandy, but I washed them in vodka AND hot water...the taste of the prefill was so nasty it didn't want to come out Also, the cartridge filling comes out pretty easily and you can wash, dry, then stuff it back in.
