Quick questions

[Hammerfyst]

So I am new here but still a little cornfrused. I am reading about Clearomizers, atomizers, and drippers, and , and, and. Is there a place I can go to research this and see what it all is and what they each do?

An atomizer is anything that you screw onto your eGo battery or mod that has a tank for juice and a coil in it and turns the juice into vapor. A mod is pretty much a modified battery tube, or in some cases a box. A dripper is an atomizer (atty) that you drip a bit of juice into and vape for a few hits, and drip more into it, and vape for a few hits, etc. etc, etc. A clearomizer is one of those atomizers you can see the juice in that screws onto an eGo battery and has a coil in it that heats the juice when you push the button and turns it into vapor for you to get a hit on. In short it's another kind of atomizer.

An RBA is a ReBuildable Atomizer. and includes Genesis atomizers which are made to function with a stainless steel mesh wick wound with a kanthal or nichrome wire coil, and these generally are used on what is called a mechanical mod, or mech. Then there are Kayfun style RBA's that use silica wicks, or cotton. That brings us to RDA's, which are Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers, (drippers) which I've already described.

Then there are the regulated mods, (modified battery tubes with electronics in them) and these have LED displays that tell you how many hits you took, your GPS location, blood pressure, suggested lottery numbers, and what watts you are vaping at.

This brings us to Mechanical Mods, (mechs) which you should not venture into without a fair amount of homework because they just put the power to your coil without bothersome electronics and LED menus, and just get it done, but you'd best know what you are doing with them before messing around with them or bad stuff can happen and result in severe post-vape cognitive dissonance.

Hi Hammerfyst, The short answer to your question is, they are all devices that convert liquid into vapor. Each one, clearomizer, atomizer, dripper, and cartomizer, is a little different. There are strengths and weaknesses each. The basic principle is to heat a coil. Once you get past that, then it is a matter of what strengths you are looking for. Portability ? clearomizer and cartomizer rule. Clouds of Vapor ? drippers rule. Convenience ? clearomizers rule. Do you have some specific questions?? The good folks on the forum will be happy to guide you.

clearomizers tend to be plastic el cheapo bottom coil tanks

Some things to keep in mind:

• Try to stick to pv's (personal vapors) that have both the 510 and ego connections this way you have all kinds of options when it comes to juice delivery systems.
• Variable Voltage (vv) = everyone's taste is different so you can set your voltage up or down to help suit your needs as well as different juices and different juice delivery systems (cartomizers, tanks, ect) taste different at different voltages. (how many times can I say different)
• Variable Wattage (vw) I haven't tried yet but assuming it is the same principle as stated above for vv.
• Pass-through battery to be able to vape while charging.
• the higher the mAh the longer the battery life
• do you prefer a warm vape (top coil) or a cool vape (bottom coil)? top coil vs bottom coil tanks, to each their own...but go with glass or metal so that there's no worries about tank cracking juices.

Thanks all. Looks like I got some studying to do...
