Here's what a bridgeless atomizer looks like under a microscope

[icemanx3]

Hi all,

I've got some microscopes at work so I decided to take some pics to show you what the internals of an atomizer looks like, under a microscope. This is a 510 3 ohm atomizer where I have REMOVED the bridge that usually covers and hides the underlying coil (so typically you wouldn't be able to see this). It's a low magnification scope that was used (for macro stuff) but I thought it may help people understand what's down there in your atomizers (lots of you already know). By the way I've been dripping into the ceramic tub you will see (the white thing) until its filled, and vaping has been BLISS!

Hope you like!

Right on! You'd think it would heat up quicker, though, with 7 wraps!

Sure..no prob pm me the email...these were real quick shots, and as you can see my coil isn't perfect No need for any credit. BTW...My bridgeless atomizer ONLY happened because I watched your video on it. LOL. I had no clue until I watched your videos!!! Thanks Shan!!

Hi all thanks! Yes this sucker does heat up alot faster! I can actually look down in there and see that coil get red! It's so easy to clean out. And so easy to watch your dry burns! I can say I feel I drip more often now though. But the vapor on a 3.7V roughtstack is no joke. For example, if I vape in front of a mirror to watch, the exhale cloud is so thick I can't see myself for a few seconds. And the throat hit is nuts. I often cough (like way back when).

This set up, coupled with all this backwoods brew...forgetaboutit. That's a new post.

Happy Saturday. Love Saturdays sooo much!!

If you drip, get a clear or frosted drip tip and you can always see it, how much juice is there, especially with the 306.

Very interesting and informative .... Thank you for posting

huh! And all this time I thought it was the bridge that actually heated up. Had no idea there was a coil in there. Thanks!

Great pics. I always have a de-bridged atty at home for dripping. I was a little intimidated to try it at first, didn't want to destroy a good atty just to experiment. I'm glad I did though, I'll always have one around now.

icemanx3, how did you remove the bridge?

Did you use pliers and just pull it out?

Thanks for the link icemanx3. It appears very simple and easy to do.

Yes, that video is SO awesome...I've only been using a single atty since day one. One of the times I blew it out with an air compressor, I had lost the wick material that fills the gap between your coil and the bottom of the bridge. So my coil was hot, but no vapor. I almost thought it was a lost cause but once I watched that vid...I very easily took the bridge off and I am still vaping hard off of my first atty! I've yet to use my second 510 atty that came with my kit!!

I used a toothpick and tweezers to remove the wick, then carefully moved the mesh out of the way and rocked the bridge from side to side with the tweezers. It care out pretty easy, then carefully removed the mesh. There are a couple of good videos showing how to do it.
