Found new love in atomizers.

[ejervjero]

To start off I started vaping around 4 years ago with a RN-4072 "penstyle e-cig" with cartridges and after awhile ended up moving back to analogs due to the low performance of those things back then and still today. This is where I got introduced to dripping but was unable to actually do it myself due to automatic battery.

I soon upgraded to a 510 manual so I could drip direct to the atomizer and by pass them nasty cartridges but the power behind the unit still left something to be desired.

Fast forward to this year where I discovered the advancements that e-cigs have made and picked up some 18650 mods with cartomizers which are a huge advancement over the cartridge world I was used to so many years ago and failed me horribly.

I have introduced the world of vaping to many co-workers and one of them just recently purchased a kit that came with some atomizers (2.8ohm I believe). I traded some juice for the atomizer to give them a try on the newer units as the batteries and everything has advanced over the years.

I do love my cartomizers but since I moved over to 100% VG due to wanting to give Boba Bounty and Rafa-li-cious a try and some others from Alien Visions and possible allergic reaction I decided the atomizer world would be perfect for this as I would have to worry about clogging.

Second day on the atomizer on my 18650 3.7v mods and I think I might just have converted over to a full time dripper. The vapor production, flavor , and the smooth relaxing vape that I get from the atomizer vs the cartomizers ( I have tried Boge and Smoketek 1.5 dual coil , 2.0, and 3.0) is just about night and day from me. I have found flavors inside of the juice even at 3.7v on the atomizer that I did not taste in the cartomizer.


I decided to give the atomizer with the juice a try on my friend who gave me the atomizer on their re-branded Lavatube and pretty excited to upgrade to a vv device shortly as it just increased my love atomizers it was like a whole new vape.

The past 2 days I have became pretty good at even driving and dripping.

Anyone else experience the same thing? Any drippers have any advice for new things to try?

Glad you found something you like. Just be careful dripping and driving!

Been normally trying to drip mostly when at red lights or stop signs Normally gives me a good 2-3 minutes to quickly pull out my 5ml juice bottle I am now carrying around to drip with and put a 2-3 drops in until the next couple lights or stop signs.

The only way you'll ever know what your liquids really taste like is to drip them.

What atomizer are you using?

Currently just using the standard 510 2.8-3.0ohm that come with the Lavatube and re-branded Lavatube starter kits.

I know the lower atomizers will be better suited for better vape on my 3.7v mods but since I plan to upgrade to variable voltage soon I plan on just sticking with the 3.0ohm stuff to limit the amount of money I have to spend.

There's a couple from Ikenvape you may want to try (both 510-threaded): The Cannon (it's a big 801 atty married to a 510 connector) and the i06 (an improved 306).

You might want to consider a REO in the future. You can use your favorite atomizer and carry your juice on board. Just like dripping without the hassle.

I have been reading and seeing a lot of mentions on the Ikenvape stuff along with a lot of people really loving the 306 atomizers over the 510 ones.

Going to add that to my future plans of upgrading now that I think I want to lean more towards dripping.

I have looked at the REO but what has put me off from pulling the trigger is the wait for them to release the variable voltage REO.

Have you tried HH .357? What are your thoughts on these?

I haven't yet; I keep reading good and bad about them, but/and $22 is pretty steep for a single atty.

Agreed on the price of the HH.357's and I have heard there have been some heated debated over these atomizers especially with the hybrids.

I do understand though that the price of the HH.357's probably also take into account that they are not assembly made but hand made by a person.

I just find spending $22 for something that could last awhile but also could die quickly a pretty big gamble for me at this point at least.

Some day I'll plunk down the $22 just to see what all the hoopla is about. You only live once...

In the meantime, I have a few of these on order, for which I've heard nothing but good: New COV Dual Coil Atomizer 2.5 ohm

Haven't heard much about those but I know I will need to look into more atomizers here shortly. I am right now just looking to move into the variable voltage from the 3.7v mods and probably going to go the re-branded LavaTube route mainly because of the pretty big price drop on them and for the price a pretty decent unit.

I drip a lot when just relaxing and watching TV or playing on the puter. I also have about every kind of atty you can name (don't want to miss out on something good), but I really don't have a favorite ... I like them all.
My only complaint with the HH-357 is damn I go through a lot of juice with that thing.
Here lately I've been messing around with the CE4+, also known as the Stardust or Vision ego, which is just an atty mounted above a small tank. You just tip it when it's time to drip.
They're not a bad low wattage vape. Great for when you don't feel like socking a lot of power to an atty.

Some mods are worth the wait.

I agree with that statement. What I should have said is I don't want to pull the trigger on the REO just yet since I know if I bought one now I would also want the Variable Voltage one. I might as well wait for the REO VV instead of purchasing the normal 5v now.

 

[murrajes]

I drip exclusively. These are the atty's I use and I love them. They last and last. I use one for about 2 days before I have to clean it. I do weekly atty cleaning on Tuesday.

There are a few VV bottom feeders out there like this one among others. And, there's also a VV Top Feeder. I love my REO and I think it's probable that I'll buy a VV REO when the metal ones come out. The VVPV is a really nice mod - all metal, vv, and provides very good control of the juice feed with a mechanical pump that delivers exactly two drops of juice per button press.
