I build my own atomizers out of old CE2's that I use with my
Drip On Demand Kit I only use it around the house though..it started with some regular short CE2 Clearomizers I had..I took them apart and removed all the rubber..then I took a metal tube from another cart and when I put the CE2 in the tube I pointed the wick up..pressed the metal tub into the CE2 then took a paperclip and tucked the wick all the way around the side of the ceramic so it will catch juice.
They don't leak unless I really flood them with juice,I tip them upside down or they fill up with juice (this happens with Carmel Tobacco as it's thick and a lot ends up "half burnt" in the tube)..these work good for regular dripping also and they work ok if you put an O ring in them but I wouldn't leave them on there side or hold them upside down for long. I do hang them upside down with a piece of paper towel stuffed in them to drain them..after a lot of use I take the tubes off rinse/wash them..burn them off if they coil still works (if it doesn't I make a new coil) reassemble and reuse.
They are a little wasteful as juice drips inside the tube (turning them on there side for a few seconds can soak the wick with "lost" juice) but they work great with my fav Carmel Tobacco as it is so thick it doesn't wick in carts well and kills regular atomizers. I could just drip on a CE2 but when I build them like that I get a lot more flavor.
I also make my own coils and replace them in my homemade "CE2omizers". I keep looking for and trying ways to improve them but for now they are what works and aren't very messy..I have about 4 of these and almost always have a clean one ready to go
