Rebuildable tank atomiser.

Comes in two versions a 5ml one and a drop that holds 2.7ml. silver or black colours.
Single build although some cram a dual build in.
pyrex/glass tank - good airflow i think.

Wonder if they are any good?

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!

Reading around you seem to always get some people that are not satisfied with any product even if the vast majority of people are.

Still to me Yes they are good.

I'm very intrigued about your posts of it laying down and not leaking! so thanks for testing that.

For the lemo i do use the fill screw - It comes with a plastic ring that you can use to put around the bottom and it has a part that goes into the fill hole to block it.

I have not used this and so if your using that it may have a different result. Most people seem to be happy using it but some have had issues.
One day I may give it a go but i find the screw does a very good job though you need to screw it in straight up and down if on an angle there is something in the way.
Have thin rings that go in the top and bottom parts that the top and bottom of the tank touches - can be hard to see but they are/meant to be there.
If those are missing ( be careful when cleaning as one time one of mine went missing and found it in a tea towel i used to dry the device with) or if your fill hole isn't properly blocked ( for me more likely if using the plastic ring to block the hole) or it has some defect in the centre 510 connection part then thats the only way i can think of making it leak.

I did it I did it I did it!!!!


I built my very first coil!! It looks horrible, but my hana says it's a 2.5 ohm coil. A bit more than I was going for, but since I couldn't get online to the coil toy at the time I was wrapping it earlier, that wasn't bad. I haven't wicked it, definitely gotta get better at doin these wrappy things. Ok, so yes, I know all I did was wrap some wire around a screwdriver, and stick the ends under some screws........but, y'all don't know me.......this is a big deal!! lol I used to have a Tshirt that said, I'm mechanically inclined.......I screw up everything. I think I'm gonna save this one, and will do another one tonite, and actually wick that one. Maybe after my shower. Is that just a girl thing to save your first coil......any of you fellers got yurs???

Thanks!!! I know a kindergartner could have done what I did.......and it looks like it was done by a K-kid, but I'm still proud of me for learnin stuff and doin a new thing! Soon as I get done yakkin, which could be awhile, I'll grab a shower, do another one, and actually put a wick in it and see how it vapes. hehehe that is the ultimate goal huh lol

Yay Deb!!! Wrapping that first coil is an awesome feeling! I was traveling when I worked on my first one. All I had on me was 28g wire and a toothpick! And, I was trying to build for an itty-bitty kanger head!!!! It rolled in about 1.2 on my MVP, but the 28g was so "huge" for that platform, I was afraid it was going to short once I got everything reassembled.

Now, I can almost do them blindfolded (with 30g wire these days :) ) Just takes practice - you'll get there!

Gorsh.....y'all are so sweet! Well....I haven't slept at all again. (and it appears matt aint slept much either). But anyhow, I did some more. One, I cut one of the wires off while tightening the screw. One, the wire didn't get around the screw but I didn't know it til I cut the excess off. The third one finally looked like an actual coil. I got it glowing from the inside out. Wicked it. Cut the cotton with fingernail clippers cuz I couldn't find the scissors. And vaped with it. The 4th one definitely looked better than the first one. lol Not sure how I feel about all this just yet.....but at least I did it. lol

Hiya Fran!! Long time no see. How ya doin?

Actually, the plastic "plug ring" does work very well. It's a full ring with only one tapered plug that goes into the fill hole, and when you attach the base cap it compresses it and forces it solidly into the hole. I've been using mine that way with good results. Nice to not need anything but a fingernail to fill :)

And yes, indeed, don't lose the insulating grommets that seal the glass, or it will leak! These are similar to the ones on Kanger PT2 and the like.

No, don't have my first coil. The "slot car" I built it for is long gone, too.... :laugh:

But a big congrats! See, it's not that hard! And once it's stuffed with wick and down inside your topper, nobody's gonna see it anyway :) Unless, of course, you put up a pic...

Regarding logos... Most any product or corporate one will be a registered trademark. While an individual could probably get away with making up one for personal use, any company trying to market them could be in for some serious litigation - that they'd lose. So in that instance, getting the approval of the TM owner is a must. For government ones, maybe contact the PR people at the nearest base for a start? Unless the company or agency has a policy against use by certain product types, seems to me they'd be happy for the free advertising. But then, I'm not a company, so what do I know? (Remember when Kodak got worked up about Paul Simon's "Kodachrome" hit.... sheesh, you get upset about tradmark infringement when your product name is a big hit???)

Ummm? Who would would you get a license for military stuff from?

From the military. And it's a lot of jumping thru hoops. Fairly recent phenomenon. Each branch has their own approval section. Thing that's annoying to me is that it's the government. So we paid to have their emblems designed. :/

way to go!!! but no, I don't have my first coil. It was vapable, so I vaped with it.

Hiya Fran!! Long time no see. How ya doin?
coil building is not a steep learning curve, but it's fun.
you should try using a small screw to build with. the wire fits right in the grooves and makes an even coil.
