Please help me choose a high-end atomizer.

[TSRodes]

I have a kayfun lite and an AL-1 on the way. I used to have a richman rba, and I miss the vapor production from the cable wick with cotton buffer. I got huge clouds, even if it was very finnicky and the coil became warped from the slightest turn of a distant mod part.

The kayfun tastes great, and my girlfriend thinks it clouds, but...she uses an evod. I just can't get a build on it that cranks out voluminous, THICK clouds. I'm thinking the AL-1 should be great, but I'm looking for something now. Vapinaze is taking forever and won't answer my emails even though these were supposed to start shipping a month ago.

What I'm looking for:

-Big enough airholes for tons of vapor, but not way too open.

-Dual coil a plus

-If bottom-fed, better than the kayfun lite.

-If a dripper, shouldn't leak excessively and should have a really deep well.

Looks are important to me. Thanks for all suggestions.

Oh, and this will go on a Paps X or an IM Roller

Hornet is my favorite. I've been using rebuildables since before they became well known in the USA. It has the option of being top or bottom fed.

 

[TSRodes]

Is that what I have heard referred to as the "ERA?" I saw a pretty sweet translucent cap for one of those recently.

 

[zhentipede]

helios.... omega... trident ?

 

[TSRodes]

I've looked at all those. Heard someone complaining about omega, can't remember why. Trident V2 looks cool. How's Helios?

The VHO Helios rocks, the "quad-posts" make dual coils insanely easy because it's just like making two single coils, there's no need to fiddle with the wires and try and get to multiple coils to stick perfectly in the post holes.

Look into the MCV Atomic, it's amazing my favorite RDA at the moment. VapeHappy is out of stock currently but that's where I got mine.

I have the Trident V2...
I like it. Huuuuge clouds, if you want it to.
Airflow control works really well and it
is easy to build with its slotted build posts.
Reduced chamber size, copper firing pin...
A winner in my book.
... If you want stupidly big clouds.

I have the kayfun lite plus though... And...
to put it mildly... it isn't lacking at all in the vapor
department. Enough to fog the room up.
Not even sub-ohm. Microcoils and cotton...
Check this out for example: Chimney Micro Coil Build In A Kayfun Lite - YouTube
Not enough for you ??!??
I would revisit your builds for the kayfun before you drop more cash
on pinoy heavy artillery.

 

[TSRodes]

i want a helios or a trident pretty bad. i really can't figure out what could be wrong with my builds.

any common problems for low vapor production?

 

[jake88]

I really enjoy my kraken I got it at okcvapes it has adjustable airflow and it's a easy build looks amazing on my nemesis

 

[Krizzell]

Omega you want clouds and taste that's it. I'm not into clouds but I can't help it with this thing, the adjustable air holes and 22mm fit sold me. I don't know what's better than a Russian or 91% with a tank you already have that.

 

[TSRodes]

I think it's the air flow in the KFL. I mean it makes way better vapor than a crappy evod or something, but just not like hundred-dollar-atty vapor. I've done micros and ribbon and regular coils from .7 to 1.6 ohms with 28-26AWG kanthal using cotton yarn, loose cotton from CVS and cheesecloth. No matter how I build the thing, it makes a...respectable amount of vapor with great taste. I'd like more airflow and more vapor.

Omega sounds cool. Heard great stuff about the origen, too. Anyone have that? Love the Helios' look and clear caps. Are any of them more or less prone to leaking? Do any have particularly large drip wells?

The double cross atty is awesome.

Russian 91% or Kayfun lite plus both have airflow control and bottom fed! I have the original russian and it works amazing!

You should buy a REO and an RM2.

 

[evgeny131]

Kayfun Lite Plus is my newest...on the Zenesis Winter Camo Sidewinder with the Zen2 510 Connector...
Amazing Atty especially for the price

REO

Brilliant design, but I find them hideous

No offense meant, and I wish I didn't find them hideous, because I would be all over that functionality in a reasonably attractive package.

I know, I'm vain...

UGH! YOU HAVE SO MANY OF MY DREAM DEVICES!

I want a 69 (but Eric's Edition) so much. And your GG/Ithaka combo is art. Poldiac button might be too confusing for me to clean frequently.

Can I ask how much of a difference you notice between the KFL+ vs. KFL? Is the set airflow on the KFL the vapor production bottleneck, and does opening it up create more vapor with lower ohm builds?

Also, how do you like your Squape compared to your Kayfuns? Sorry for all the questions!

 

[entitynein]

How about the Aqua?

Aqua Atomizer by Footoon

Dual Coil, bottom fed, tons of vapor and it looks good.

 

[crazyarms]

If you're looking for a dripping atty id recommend the helios. I was skeptical at first but i pulled the trigger and bought one and it is my go to atty all the time. Flavor is great, vapor production is amazing. The adjustable airflow is much more firm than others i have seen so it wont move around. You can close the holes completely and throw it in your pocket and it wont leak at all. I personally am thinking about getting another one just so i can have another setup with it.
