Ikenvape.com makes high quality attys/carts. A lot of people, myself included, swear by them. Cant guarantee they're cheaper, but they last a long while and work like a charm!! I vape 510s, not 901s, but all of their stuff is made with the same high-quality heating elements... they actually have a say in what sort of materials are used in their products, they aren't just re-selling Chinese stuff. I believe their attys run $7-8 each

i've done a lot of research into looking for other makers of 901, but pretty much all come from dse salibo. Don't know where Iken gets his.
Smart vapes has a bridgeless wickless "dripping atty" 901 and Iken has his plus a 901 carto ( i think it's iken).

the Joyes at VK are 510's because they don't make 901's.

and as to unsure's question re reliable/durable... seems all attys are the same; they are disposable; but some have a knack for keeping them going longer.
Uke is right on. Vaporkings sells original 901 joys in bulk for really cheap, go check it out!!

I find that 901 are, in general, the same, as they are made by one or two makers - from what i surmise.
I vape hard and heavy all day and night, and i'd go through one a week (avg). Some make them last for months, but i don't know their vaping style, and some regularly clean their attys. So this is pretty avg. across the board on all atomizers. They are "disposable" which is why many feel that atomizers are the weakest link in the vape chain.
Until i found bulk ordering i was in a pickle.. ranting about the cost and how atomizers needed to be improved, but if you find your PV of choice, and stop buying every new thing that comes along, this is where you just compare the price to what it used to cost to smoke cigs.

IMO 901 attys combine the best of both worlds between the 510 and 801... light but detectable air draw, lots of vapor, and great taste. You just have to learn how much to feed them and which voltage works best to which resistance.
I like to use SR with my Provari, Sgt Army bottom feed VV, and Buzz Pro... all VV, so that's 3.0 Ohms ... at anywhere from 3.7 to 4.5 volts.
If i were limited to a 3.7 PV, i'd get the LRs.

I don't think it's a "hit and miss"... you may get 1 out of say 25 or 30 attys that are DOA, so if you know what to expect, they are reliable.



Thanks ukeman!
Do you find any particular model to be more reliable?
Or are they more like a hit and miss thing?

And btw, Vaporking do carry LR 901 atty.
thnks
