go to eliquidplanet.com and get the low resistant atomizer if you didnt already. night and day difference, i love mine as i smoke it now!!!! .. its good with manual or auto battery, i think they recommend automatic.. i forget which ones is better, right now im using manual, but im really not sure.. i think automatic may give you a little better vapor, and definitly get yourself a drip tip from them or from volcanoecigs.com .. or somewhere who sells them, i personally like the stainless steel ones with the rubber gasket over the plastic ones.. or you can just use the plast tip that comes on the atomizer, it doesnt have cotton or the extra plastic on it, and thats basically a drip tip with a smaller hole.. trust me, upgrade that atomizer to the ELP low resistant its 10 dollars and will be the best 10 dollars you ever spent on your e cig's
