If it's the site I went to, I hate to tell you, but that is a really low quality model that is way over-priced. The reason they don't tell you what kind it is, is because they don't want you going anywhere else and figuring out how bad their product is. You could get a similar bad model like that for about $25. You could get a much better model for about $50.

The thing to remember is:

Rule of Thumb: the more it looks like the real thing, the worse the performance.

I would suggest ditching what you have and getting a better model where you can get all the replacement parts you need from many different suppliers. I would look at the Kgo, E-Power 510 and the Riva 510 with manual batteries that will provide much better performance. Here are some well supported suppliers:

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - EGO E-Power

Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510

KGO (Riva) 1100mAh Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit - $54.95

Post photos of your atomizer from multiple angles with no cartridge on it. And measure the diameter of your battery the best you can. Need to know if it is under 9mm or over 9mm.

Is this it? Call them and ask why there is no Add to Cart button. How can they sell a cartomizer model and discontinue the atomizer?
Vaporizer

Can't be 100% sure but the detail look of the cartomizer on their site sure looks like 510 up close when you magnify it. It would be nice cause they're as common as fleas on a dog. Dormouse will probably be able to figure it out better than I. Hope so anyway. You're obviously happy with it and it works for you so it can't be wrong.

Seems every ECF thread on the nuvocig ends without a compatibility resolution. Here is one that got the nuvocig atomizer to work with a 510 passthru.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-reviews/138651-nuvocig-v-510-comparison.html

It might be worth a try to fit a 510 threaded atomizer on your battery.

It's really just a battery, you might consider trying a new model to save money and hassle. There are so many much better options available now.

I hope you get an answer. Welcome to the forum.

No - if that tan part is a plastic cartridge going OVER the atomizer then it is NOT 510. But it COULD be L88b or 306 which use 510 threading. Or it could be RN4081 but the threaded part of RN4081 usually looks a bit wider diameter.

Try a Joye 306 standard resistance (2.5 to 3 ohm) atomizer and Joye 306 carts? (because only the exact atomizer you have is likely to fit the carts you have.) And if that does not fit/work then buy a 99 cent 4081 to 510 adapter at Goodprophets and see if that makes it work (if so, then you have RN4081). If neither works then you are SOL.

We are just guessing based on how it looks. Based on how that vaporizer picture at the nuvocig site looks, you have female (recessed) thread batteries and male (protruding) threads on the atomizer - right?

We cannot tell by looking at it if it is L88b or Joye 306 (both plain steel atomizers with the same threads as 510 but cartridges that slip over the atomizer) or if it is RN4081 (similar configuration, slightly different threading). 510 is a different kind of atomizer - a painted tube and the cartridge pushes partially INTO it and extends beyond it.

If someone got a nuvocig atomizer to work in a 510 passthrough with no adpater then you should try Joye 306 2.5 to 3 ohm atomizer and Joye 306 cartridges OR try an L88b atomizer and its cartridges (see Volcanoecigs weakest model "Volcano" or see Smoke 51's Trio)

I personally think, screw the Nuvo from the Meriden Mall. I've tried it, it sucks. An ego/riva would probably blow you away.


I don't think 510 atty's will fit exactly. I think their atomizer screwed onto my ego at the time, however something I remember clearly not fitting. May have been their cartridge if memory serves me right.

i own a nuvocig and on their website they are no longer selling atomizers, just expensive gross prefilled cartomizers. are there any other Ecig atomizers that are interchangeable with my nuvocig atomizer? :mad:
I Googled your Nuvo cig and didn't get anywhere except the picture that doesn't show much.
Is there a possibility you could get a close picture of it?
