I'm still trying to figure out what the OP is wanting..

Does the OP want an old fashioned clearo that will fit on an old old old battery? (I would worry about using a battery 10 years old myself)

Or does the OP want something modern in a style more reminiscent of 2008 pen battery shapes?

If the first option, then we need to know the diameter (in mm) of the battery in question a clearo is being requested for.

If something more modern, but still pen shaped, then we can recommend away..

UWELL WHIRL 20 / 22 Starter Kit | Vape Pen Kits

^^^ something like this with a 1.8 ohm coil is new, modern, yet still has the right features (pen style, mtl) for an old school vaper.

If it's too large, we can look for smaller but most modern batteries are larger, or differently shaped..

My husband likes the renova zero pod mod, its under 400mah and tiny, yet still lasts him the day and is not complicated, although still refillable. It's a modern cig-a-like, but it's not cigarette shaped.

So I'm just a little lost on how to direct the OP, because I'm unclear what is being sought after.

What I am after is cheap drip atomizers. I have a 2019 brand new 510 battery I got for free at a dispensary. I used it with a screw top ccell I got from the same place to try eliquid again. I liked the new salts and flavors, figured I'd give quitting analogs again, bought a couple of boulder rock to get me through until next month when I get a check I hadn't already bought my months worth of tobacco out of. I'm going to pick up a smok Nord pod device then, and want to start making my own liquid. I want to be able to test single flavors and such without investing in a mod, or deck, or any such kit, which would most likely spoil me from pods anyway. Ccells seem the cheapest way, but would be difficult to clean thoroughly, so wouldnt be cost effective in the long run. A few old school design attys would be perfect, as I could easily get just a drop or 2 to test.

Then Baditudes link on page 1 is perfect.

Except those attys come wuwi a warning that they'll pop normal batteries, so I'd need a mod for them. The ones I linked to after his are original resistances, but I'm unsure of the site, and at 10$ a pop, I could have almost 20 clearomizers... Or might as well get a yucan hive and five pack of Artie's for the price of three that looks like their single coil should hold a couple of drops of liquid for a reasonable taste test.

What are "normal batteries" to you? :unsure:

The Cisco atomizers that I linked to you are considered "high end" atomizers. They will last far longer than the inexpensive atomizers (Joy) that you've been using. As long as you use a higher resistance (higher ohm) atty over 1.5 ohm you could use them on an eGo battery. 2.0 ohm would be even better.

Here is what that site says about Cisco spec attys:

"These atomizers are designed for use with larger e-cig batteries and mods that use single cell Lithium 3.7v batteries. These atomizers are not designed to be run on standard (cigarette sized) batteries and are known to significantly reduce the lifespan of eGo | Riva style batteries. Older heavily used batteries and batteries with faulty protection circuits can be instantly rendered useless."

This is the battery I have:

from what I'm seeing online that battery you have is not created for e cigarette/ nicotine use, but for the stuff we can't even talk about on this website.

Are you wanting something for nicotine use?

That battery is originally from a dispensary, but should run a 510 atomizer as long as it has enough constant amperage to fire it... So not a 510 style, or 510 connector.

Best as I can tell, that other industry took ideas from this one, and used concepts that didn't work well for eliquid, but did for thicker oils (some of which are thinner than VG). That clearomizer and battery run eliquid just fine, with only minimal leakage after 20 or so seconds on 2.5v or higher

Nothing created for nicotine use, in our modern day, will work properly on batteries that aren't designed for nicotine eliquid.

As you can see in the instance of a non rebuildable dripper.. I have an ego (a modern one, 2200 mah) that would run that without effort.

yet your battery, made for something else entirely, will have problems.

This is what your going to run into with a battery that is not designed for nicotine use.

Ok... So I contacted the company I linked to, and they did get back to me finally. They do have 901 atties in stock, and was wondering if, with the 901 to 510, I could run those or the ones Baditude linked to earlier. Any thoughts, or should I just see if something overheats/blows up?


The slb/dse atties run at about 2.9 ohm, where as the mt3 clearomizer are 2.2-2.4... would this cause serious issues?

This is what I'm thinking of using for power:

$5.22 (Free Shipping) Variable Voltage Passthrough + MT3 EVOD Clearomizer Starter Kit (White) at m.FastTech.com

no..

You need to shop for batteries with the correct amount of power for the atomiser your putting on it, otherwise your putting yourself in danger.

That isn't a battery. It's a voltage regulated USB pass through.

Can you use it while your not plugged into the wall?

If yes, then it's a battery.

If no.. then it's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of.

Anyway, I don't do drugs and really can't help you here... All I know is the nicotine delivery systems, which are obviously quite different than those for drugs.

Good luck.

You sure you don't do drugs? You use nicotine, don't you? How about caffeine? Sugar maybe? You obviously haven't read my posts, if you did, you'd see I was talking about eliquid. Both the Dse and kr808 paasthroupa kits are just that. Pass through. The Kanger was regulated, the Dse wasn't, and would simply pass the USB current to the connector. No battery involved. I want an atty to test ELIQUID that isn't going to surpass the power of a rock boulder.... I don't want anything bigger than a mini.

Honestly, If you want to vape (i.e. instead of smoking cigarettes) then buy something created for that purpose... we can't really help you otherwise.

I'm still not entirely clear on what you are looking for, @HigherStateD

How about this setup? It's old school gear that may be difficult to find nowadays, but it should fit your description for tiny and low amp vaping specifically to sample e-liquid flavors.

Before I began using drip atomizers to sample new flavors, I used the below Nano clearomizers. They only hold 1.0 ml of e-liquid. Fill or remove e-liquid by unscrewing the mouthpiece. Have a common 510 connector which will connect with either a 510 mod or eGo battery. The original Vision nano clearomizers have been discontinued, but I'm pretty sure somebody is still making clones.

Battery: 650 mAh eGo battery.
Atomizer: Nano clearomizer

Well Baditude, I have some of these:

Boulder - E-cigs


Afaik, they are designed for nicotine...

I want to make my own eliquid. I want an easy way to test flavors. I want how I test flavors to be as similar to the pods I use FOR NICOTINE. The atties you linked to seem great, if I can fire them on, say, 3.7-5v at about 1-1.5A with out shortening the atties life, or melting the wall outlet. If not, old stock will have to do... As a cart, or clearomizer, although cheaper because of mass production, wouldn't meet my needs well.

You are going to need a separate setup to test your recipes. The nano's or any clearomizer are designed to be used for any 3.5 - 3.7 volt battery, which we use universally in vaping. The coil resistance of the nano's are 2.4 ohm, so they aren't going to stress ANY battery. You could even put one on a cigalike battery, as long as the cigalike has a 510 connector. So I don't understand what you mean it wouldn't meet your needs well.

You're using a pod system for everyday vaping which uses replaceable pods exclusively. You won't be able to sample or test your flavors easily with any pod system. That's why I said you are going to need one setup to test flavors and another one to vape all day.

The atties you linked to said they would pop cigalike batteries. I know the pods won't work well for testing, which is why I'm looking for a pass through/atty combo for dripping, just nothing trying to have to seat coils. The best my eyes and hands can do as far as electronics go would to build a pass through, but would prefer to just buy one if I can find a decent one for not too much that would run those Cisco atties with out popping something, as it looks like they still make those. If not, old stock 901 or 510 atties.
