please help me understand?

Been looking into rebuildables, and ive got a newbie question. From looking at pics of rebuildables like this one $5.08 Phoenix FH20 Detachable Dripping Atomizer (1.5ml) - 2.4 I dont understand how it can hold 1.5ml. Other similar looking rebuildables claim up to 3ml and so on. But from looks alone it seems to me theres no way to put 3ml of liquid in this without submerging your coil... :/ am I missing something here? Ive been rebuilding my evods and protank for a while now and understand the whole concept of rebuilds but I just dont get how you could put3.5ml in something like this $4.41 X1 3.5ml Detachable Dripping Electronic Cigarette Atomizer - 2.4ohm / silver at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping without it submerging the coil

I don't know where their getting the ml numbers from, one is a mini. I'd get them both and see which one you like better.

I have the IGO-L and S the L holds about 15 drops and the S holds 7 before it starts seeping out of the airhole.

because the wicks are long and just soak up the juice and just keep dripping.

Thats what I thought. Maybe they are just referencing the size and not actual liquid capacity. Thats the only thing that makes sense to me bc by looks alone they are comparable to the evod and protank which are 1.6 and 3 ml.

That would take a LOT of wick to hold 3ml lol

Thanks for answering and confirming my eyes dont decieve me lol

Even with long wicks 1.5ml is a TON of juice for that little tiny thing. I use 3mm ekowool in my ERA clone (same size and shape as the atty the OP linked to) and I leave the wick long enough to wrap completely around the atty, so there is basically a doughnut shaped loop of ekowool with a coil mounted on it. From being bone dry, it holds maybe 7-8 drops before it starts pouring out the airhole.

I think fast tech is just pulling numbers out of their butts. Kind of like how a single carto tank gets tons of different "rated" capacities depending on the vendor. How much juice a dripper holds before overflowing totally depends on what type of wick you build, and how small and high the airhole is. With a high up, small diameter airhole you can fit more juice into the atty without spilling. With larger and/or lower airholes, one drop past saturated wicks means leaking.

Juice capacity rating on drippers is totally ridiculous, just ignore the numbers.
