High End Atomizer or Mod?

[DIYBrandon]

Hi, I'm interested in upgrading into a high end product. I've tried a King Clone and currently have a nemesis clone with a bunch of other clone atomizers. I've been rebuilding a lot recently and I'm not too happy with the vapor production with them which is why I've decided to give a high end product a try.

I'm just wonder, would you buy a high end atomizer first or would you buy a high end mod first? It would be definitely be cheaper to get an atomizer, but I would like to know your opinions on this.

Unless something is faulty with your current setups, paying more money on non-clone products won't noticeably change your vape experience.

Its all going to hit the same.

The mod you're using makes very little difference outside of usability (size, weight, switch throw, etc) and even then, the nemesis clone that you have is a top performer. Even among authentic mods. It doesn't get much better as far as "how hard it hits"

The atomizer does make a difference, but its not to say that a clone atomizer will give any less vapor. The main difference I find is usability and ease of building. Authentic mods tend to have better posts, better screws, and bigger post holes than cheap clones. Its easier to get complicated builds into a good RDA. If anything is going to make a difference to you, its going to be the atomizer. TBQH until you know what features you want in an atomizer, stick to cheap ones. You'll feel pretty dumb if you drop $100 on an atomizer and hate it, unless its something easy to resell.

If you want a better vape, build better coils. Any atomizer is as good as the coil you put in it.

all good advise posted. Also try different types of atomizers to see which style fits your vaping needs. Then get the authentic one. From my experience the authentic things tend to have nicer quality build on them.

Not worth getting the high end of anything unless you know exactly what you want, IMHO.

Actually, in practical terms, that's the only thing really worth paying a premium for, IMHO. Getting something that ticks *all* the right boxes. Deck layout, ease of build, good AFC if that's to your liking. Your preferred build materials. Etc. And... Well... Looks.

The "high end" really is just something designed by someone who either want something that is currently not out there and took matters into their own hands... or someone who thought "I too want a piece of the pie." The latter is not worth paying a premium for. The former may be if you agree with the design decisions made.

Just my two cents. Your mileage and opinion may vary.

I'm not sure if you have any hobbies but just like any other hobby, if you want to learn this, you should start slow, research, and do it right.

Jumping from gas station (extreme case) to advanced mods won't help you in the future imo

Very much this. You can make insane vapor with a 40 dollar mech and an 11 dollar RDA. Maybe try working on your coil builds.

The simple IGO-L should give you clouds of vapor and great vapor. all for $10.50 delivered Ebay. Simple single coil - check out rip tripper micro coil building - youtube

11 wraps, 5/64 drill bit, 28 gauge = for me 1.5 ohms ala rip tripper way - I vape at 8 watts on MVP 2 and it is a great vape.

Note your juice makes a difference the more VG the more vapor. I do 50/50 and it vapes like a champ - using silica or cotton or ecowool wicking.

Yes. I'm currently using a cheap Sigelei telescope mod with an Igo-L. Using a twisted 30 gauge single 1 ohm micro-coil, and any more would be in the cloud chasing category.

Unless you're looking to make videos on youtube you'd have a hard time getting better vapor.
