"Rainbow V2-A" RA without tank?

[SilentEcho13]

So I came across this on GotVapes:
ALPHA - 5 Piece Rebuildable Tank Atomizer CE9 2.2-2.5ohm [ALPHA-CE9RebuildableTankAtomizer] - $6.95 : GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more

Upon researching, it turns out it's a Rainbow V2-A atomizer. My question is, can this be used WITHOUT the needle/tank base, and the tank? Can I just screw the top cover onto the wick/coil portion, and throw on a 510 drip tip?

If that's possible, it looks cool for $7.

Thanks!

Hmm, wondering if the Phoenix's top cap will thread onto this too...

I've been looking at that atomizer as well, not too bad for the price. I'm just having a blast with the Phoenix(clone) but now I kinda want to get some others just to mess around. Are those Ego tanks a different diameter than a 510 drip tip?

 

[SilentEcho13]

I believe they are a little bigger which is s problem, but it MAY take the Phoenix's top cap.

I popped out the needle plate and still use that section, giving me a nice little well for my wick, much like the phoenix. The threads aren't compatible with the phoenix. I use an ego cartridge with the filler removed as a drip tip.

Ah, damn. That means I can't use my Siam tip. Looks like I'm going for the V3 RBA.
