Getting my first rebuildable atty.

[railfan844]

Hi all.

I just got a bunch of liquid in the mail (6 x 1oz different flavors) and I would like to get a rebuildable dripping atomizer so that I can try more than one flavor without having to get a new clearomizer each time. The reason for this is that my CE5 clearos don't unscrew so I can't easily clean them to put a different liquid in.

I have two 510 batteries on hand, single voltage (3.7v).

What would be the best 510-compatible dripping atomizer for a beginner? I understand that you have to manually prime dripping attys every few puffs, but that's pretty much all I know. So preferably I'd like something simple that's hard to screw up

That's exactly what I did when I started. I tried testing my eliquid by dripping onto a Vivi Nova, but got tired of trying to clean and dry it all the time.

I recommend an IGO-L, it's probably the most popular single coil dripping atomizer out there. You can usually find them on Ebay and elsewhere for under $15, then get some 2 or 3 mm silica wick and some 32 gauge Kanthal wire and you're set. You can probably get everything you need on Ebay for under $20, or perhaps find it in your local dealer.

Take a couple of inches of wick, wrap the Kanthal 5 times around it, screw it down and make sure to test it with an ohmmeter, drip a few drops and vape away. I like my IGO-L because it's so simple, and with the wide open design I just rinse it under water for a sec, dry the wick on a paper towel, maybe dry burn once and you're ready for another flavor.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Is there anything simpler that doesn't require so much assembly? I'm think along the lines of a ready-to-vape kit or something.

there's a thread running here about a 306 i think; not something i am familiar with personallly but i think its like a bridgeless carto with no filler used for dripping.

For my taster I use a Smok Mini RDA: SMOKTech MINI RDA Atomizer

I recoiled mine but the standard coil is fine for this use, as is the wick. For mine I cut the wick to about 1/2 inch so that I could pop the cap and drip about 4 drops, which lasts about 4 good drags. Perfect for tasting and easy to clean (just rinse and dry burn every once in a while). For me the perfect taster.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

I opted for a Protank Mini II. Seemed like a good beginner's tank.

The Kanger Protank II mini is a great atomizer, in fact I'm using one right now. All steel and glass, you can take them apart and clean them easily.

Having said that, I can't see how you are going to drip and test juices in one. They have a bottom wick which is near impossible to drip onto, and if you decide to fill the tank you will still have to wash and clean out everything to change juice. You might also consider the Vivi Nova by Vision. The model by Vision has a little "cup" shaped silicon cover over the wick (unlike the clones, which have a small tube sticking out like a CE4/5). I would just drip 4 drops or so into the little "cup" to test my juice.

Anyway, best of luck with making and testing your eliquid (it's both fun and easy), and I hope you find something that works well for you.

The protank mini 2 is a good beginners tank.

But if I read your original post correctly, it won't screw on to you 510 type batteries unless actually the ego/510 batteries. The protank minis use the bigger outer threading called the eGo threading.

But since you said you have ce5 clearos, maybe you have the right sized battery.

My battery has an outer threading an then a hole in the top with smaller threadings. the only time I've used the smaller threading is when I screw it onto the charger. But I assume this is the one that the Protank screws onto.

Yup that's it; the outer threads are the eGo threads that the protank mini screws onto.

The protank (not the mini) and most other tanks, use the inner threads which are called 510 threads, which then puts too much things that have to go on in that little space.
