Mini Pipe atomizer review....the results are in!

[Vince1]

EDO, I modified the ones from ecigmall. It just so happens that I received my order from Bestecig today and their 801's do work great with no modding. As a matter of fact these atomizers rock! I'm using one now and I have to blow the vapor to the side to see the computer screen! Wow, My modded ones now go in the "back-up" box.

Vince..do you like them better than the original? Are they airier than the original? Does it produce the same throat hit and thick vapor like the origianl atomizer. The reason I am asking, as far as I know the bestecig atomizers I believe have 4 holes on the band while the originals have the 4 holes inside the atomizer. Thanks in advance.

 

[Vince1]

I find the draw the same and the ones I got from Bestecig only have 2 holes. 2 tiny holes by the band. I do like them better then the original pipe ones. one of my originals went cold after a couple hours. The other one works but the stainless steel ones from Best put out twice the vapor. Throat hit seems about the same. This is only my experience as it seems that atomizer performance varies from batch to batch.

And I really like the way the pipe looks with the stainless steel atomizer, all high tech and stuff.

3) Now here's a kicker....my silver at with a silver band...I believe I ordered from Beci at bestecig.com I tried 2 that I am using right now on other pens and I liked it so much on the pipe, I went and ordered a 5 pack from Beci and will let you know how they work when received. I tried to see what the difference was between the black and silver bands. All I could see is the silver one has a bit of a larger hole there (the main hole to the battery).

Also, since my white ones worked so well, I ordered one white one with a silver band to try. Did I tell it like it is, or what?

Edited to add: I'm tellin' ya....the white ones with the black band are even better. I have had them on both of mine straight since Sun, and they are still going strong. These were from PS but he's out of them. I'll see if the white one from Beci is any good.

Yeah, I think Beci Chen is the atomizer man! I'll be stocking up on spares soon.

 

[EDO]

thanks vince....I'll put in order for 5. You guys think the color of the atomizers makes any difference? That is weird. I would think any of the 801s from a certain distributor would be the same.

 

[Vince1]

You might want to order some other stuff with that order because it's $20 for shipping.
I wouldn't think color makes any difference but I'm sticking with stainless steel. Paint just holds heat in (not enough to matter, but still). Plus all my stuff from Bestecig is stainless so I don't mix it up with my other stuff that is all black. I wouldn't order juice though. I've heard of larger shipments of juice being held by customs. A small order would probably be okay.

 

[EDO]

oh crap... I ordered some juice (5x10ml) with the silver atomizers before reading your post. How do they know what is in the package?....I shouldn't say this but Ive been ordering cigarettes from the Ukraine for years. Not once have had any problems. Dirt cheap too.

You should be alright EDO. I haven't heard of customs seizing any of Beci's shipments yet. And trust me, with all that bubble wrap on there, they will never see those 5 little bottles....lol

[Vince1]

You'll be okay EDO, Beci marks his stuff for main content "atomizers" and customs doesn't bother small packages. I was more referring to like $200 or $300 worth of liquid. Plus I don't think customs want to re-wrap the bubble wrap football that he sends.

 

[EDO]

Ok...thats a relief...I ordered the silver atomizers...can't wait to get them. Seems like you guys have dealt with them before. It seems like you guys like their atomizers. How about their e liquids...which ones do you guys like? I played it safe and just got their Marlboro flavor.

 

[ZambucaLu]

I ordered those atomizers the other day from bestecig and they are already at my local post office. I should have them today.

Just to add i found that my rn4072 didn't perform well after a few days so back to the originals which are much better

 

[Dr. Russell Fell]

do they work with yang's pen ats?

 

[Vince1]

Hi Russell, I have the pen-ats from ecigmall (yang's) and they will work on the mini-pipe but you have to grind the band on them down a little so the internal connectors meet and cut 2 small notches in the band for more air flow. Bestecig ats work with no mods.

So must be 2 week now for most mini pipe owners, hows everyones atomizers doing?

I washed 2 of mine out with water and they never recovered properly for some strange reason!

but overall the device still rocks

I haven't had much luck with atomizer life since I started vaping....but terraphon came up with the idea of cleaning atomizers with Coca-cola .....and it does seem to restore some life to a failing atomizer.

I've had the same experience too Ted. Cleaned two of my original atomizers out (water rinse & Coke bath technique) to help change juice flavour and they have not recovered very well. I'm pushing on with them to see of they just need breaking in again. Day 2 now and they are improving but still not back to their out of the box performance.

Having said that, I have a new Silver 4072 atomizer from e-cigs uk which worked a treat right off the bat, and an old kissbox atomizer which also steams away on the mini-pipe.

I think the new style mini pipe atomizers must have some significant design differences. It would be great to open one up once it is dead and see what makes them tick differently.

Has anybody else tried cleaning an original mini-pipe atomizer?

 

[phillydes]

I have 3 of the original Lady Pipe atomizers and all 3 are still going strong. I have not cleaned them since I got them other than just blowing them out and I've not had any problems. All 3 still vaping strong although 1 may be starting to decrease in performace slightly.

I have been using my mini pipe for three weeks today......I am using my third atomizer because I love the easy steam train vape of a new atomizer.....this third one has been cleaned with Coca-cola ..and although it took a little while to get if going again, it is vaping quite a bit better at the moment. Other than that the mini pipe so far is Brilliant and just how I want vaping to be.
