Thanks everyone. I am a little confused by some of the stuff in your post dormouse. The only parts of e cigs I am familiar with are the battery carto and atomizer.When you say threading I am thinking of where it screws together but feeling like I am wrong.Is the black derlin drip tip something halo sells? What is a horizontal coil? Sorry...... I am new to vaping and the websites don't seem to explain what each thing is. Like is there some kind of tank that can go on this thing? I would love that but don't want a huge e cig like an ego c or I would buy that one.Again thanks for the help guys
Bless your heart, I know exactly how you feel... I was right there myself not long ago. If it helps, please know most of the stuff you find confusing now won't matter much yet anyway & you'll pick it up as it does. You're right about the threading, it's the threaded, bolt-like connection between the battery and cartomizer (or atomizer). In a 2-piece unit made to look like a cigarette, the cartomizer is the "filter tip" part and combines an atomizer (electric coil, etc. to heat the liquid) and a cartridge (encapsulated filler material to hold the liquid). So, if you're using a 2-piece e-cig like this you can safely forget about atomizers and cartridges for now.
The delrin drip tip dormouse suggest is just a mouthpiece to replace the little white plug with the hole in it that comes in cartomizers. They offer a number of advantages, one being if the carto gets hot the drip tip insulates your lips from the heat. They are also very easy to remove for adding drops of e-liquid to the carto to keep it moist. Personally, I find them much more comfortable in size than a cig-sized tip, and they probably look kinda cool if that matters.
The horizontal (or vertical, or whatever) coil is buried in the carto so you won't need to tinker with it, but it will make a difference in your vape. I haven't used horizontals personally but base this statement entirely on things I've read here, and more than a few of those were posted by dormouse. As you experiment with these different cartos, as well as flavors, etc., you'll see the differences and find out what works best for you. Please try to be patient (especially with yourself) and enjoy your journey. And be prepared to be amazed.
Best of luck & Happy Vaping!
