My account got frozen, I'm trying to resolve it, but worst case scenario everyone who ordered will simply have their money refunded. I have a feeling I know who is behind this, and just know that karma is a ......

Hmmm.... lemme see... who would want to put a stop to customized atomizers...? who is it that offers their own custom high volt atomizers...? hmmm... :rolleyes:

Probably someone with a poor track record in business practices, I would guess...

Oh yeah, Nerf. I received my 510 battery connectors on Saturday. Tried to PM you, but you were all full up. Thanks for the extra atty connector!

So if I got a higher wattage atty and only uised it at 5 volt- would it last longer with the same vapor/hit production? How would they hit be? at 5 volt? with a different wattage atty?

5 Volts is the Sweet Spot. Maybe these would help those 6 volt burt flavors? I dunno.

To me a flavor and Vapor I got now is GREAT. My main question is could it be better? Or Could it be the same and have the atty last longer? With the same vapor and flavor?

You get into two issues: Wattage, and peak temp. If you run more voltage through a standard atomizer, you get more wattage and therefore more vapor, but you also increase peak temperature which means you can cause chemical changes in your liquid (giving it a burnt taste or just killing the flavor) and are more likely to melt the pieces. That's why two-cell mods generally pull the voltage back down to 5-6V.

If you run that voltage through a higher-ohm atomizer, you get a much lower peak temperature for roughly the same wattage. You could potentially run a high-ohm atomizer on even higher voltage (the full 7.4-8.4V of a two-cell mod) and get the equivalent of 5V vaping but with even more vapor production (12W of heating is easy, without the nova-high temperatures that produces with standard atomizers).

I did get a few extras for personal use and to make sure I hit the MOQs, but I'll need to wait til the order gets here and those who've already paid get theirs shipped to see how many exactly - there was an issue with the 901s and they are indefinitely backordered, so some of the extras will be going to those folks.

Also, remember that I really want reports from everyone who gets them once they arrive on performance, between the lot of us we should be able to nail down the perfect resistance for HV applications, and package *may* have an effect on it. I'm particularly interested in the reports from those who got both 801 and 510, as the higher airflow on the 801 may result in slightly cooler vapor.

OK, I have to ask to learn... Why not just put a rheostat inline with the atomizer and attempt to "dial in" the ideal atomizer resistance? This would change the overall resistance, thus change the voltage applied to the atty, right? Is the length of the heating portion of the atomizer critical here? There are many ways that one could adjust the resistance of an atomizer I guess. Tweaking the length of nichrome twisted around the wick seems ideal, but is that how they varied the resistance?

Others have talked about Custom resistance Atomizers...Mostly shade tree electricians on here...and that was pretty much decided as the ideal way to adjust resistance....a few more winding for higher resistance, a few less for lower resistance(I think)
