Interesting.....

Last year I ended up screwing myself over by putting an atomizer on too tight. By doing this the atomizer twists and blocking the air hole. This was my FAVORITE Atomizer, and it was the original from my kit.

Anyways.... after reading threw a few posts here and there... I decided to get this old atomizer out. I was thinking that perhaps I could twist it the other way and it would still be usable even though I hadnt used it in so long.

Well I couldnt get it to twist. So I said screw it, and decided to take the thing apart. If it was usable it sure as heck wasnt when I pushed the mechanism though the tube. I accidentally smooshed the mesh down

Well I pushed it though and I didnt know where to start. I saw some black corrosiveness in the center. And decided to get that out. Well I guess it was a wire that was coiled. and the wires were REALLY corroded. I broke one of the wires on the side and kinda just uncoiled it... What was left was a cylinder of black ick.

I dunno. But after taking as much as I could of it apart, I dont believe that I could replicate an Atomizer for my 901. Now... given I am not the most mechanical person, but if anyone has made their own atty, would they be willing to take the time and explain to me how to make one? Step by step, and with pictures?

This might be information that is valuable especially if we end up in an E-Cig ban.

Oh, and I just killed another atomizer. One of my new ones I wonder why it died

Oh well just bought 4 more atomizers.....
And 2 new batteries.....
And a wall A/C USB Port

LOL Raven, I'm waiting for the first atomizer to go so I can take it apart and poke around inside. It's mysterious in there!

Making your own atomizer at the size of a factory produced one will be tough...

I just had a brand new 901 atty burn out after less than an hour's use. Maybe there is a bad batch going around? Where did you get yours?

revenge for totally ripping the guts out of the other atomizer?

Atomizers are the luck of the draw, some go out in under an hour and some go strong for 4 or 5 months.

BUT......of all the models I've owned it seems like the 901 gave me the most atty problems. I had several of them go cold on me.

I think it is the minimal quality control standards on these mass produced devices. There are differences from manufacturer to manufacturer and differences from production cells within the same company. Toss in differences in how we each use our stuff and you have a recipe for a range of results.
