So sick of 510 atty leaks...........

[nectarguru]

I absolutely love atomizers. To me, the throat hit and quality of vapor is unmatched. HOWEVER........I am completely fed up with leaks. So much of my liquid is wasted that it is becoming no longer worth it, but I'm unwilling to switch back to cartos. Can anyone recommend a type of atty (or similar) that #1 won't leak, #2 has great flavor/vapor production, and #3 is as affordable as a 510???

Are you dripping? If you are losing that much juice, you're dripping too much. I'm not an atty fan at all. However, there is only one atty I will use on a daily basis...it's the dual coil atomizer from cloudsofvapor.com. The lower resistance ones should not be used on a battery with less than 650mah. He carries several resistances.

Drip shield will help too & empire, avidvaper carries them just to name a few..

Price ranges from $8-$20 depending on material.

HH 357's rarely leak but they are $20 but perform excellent

I would also recommend this setup: 510 atomizer + 510 sealed adapter (available at madvapes for example) + empire drip shield.

Or get a 510 to 901 adapter and try the 901 with the empire drip shield, it's a wonderful vape !

Thanks for the input everyone. I think I'm going to try out the Dual Coil Attys first. Hairball, which resistance would you recommend for a 1000mAh eGo w/passthrough?

Wait have you tried a LR 510 atty? Or are you using 2.2-2.0ohm?

It makes me crazy if I hafta borrow a reg 510 from someone, takes forever to heat up IMO

 

[Nocturnalpriest]

I'd recommend a 1.5 ohm with an ego battery and 1.25 with the passthrough (don't use the 1.25 with the ego battery, it will kill it).

1.5 ohm ....

I'm just using the standard 510 atty. I used to use despiked 510-T's, but they were too much of a hassle in the long run. Nocturnal, I use the 1000mAh eGo with built-in passthrough. I think I'll give the 1.5 ohm a try. So long as the vapor and throat hit is great and it doesn't leak...it'll probably be my new standard.

My personal opinion about dual coils is that:

- They perform better with mods that go above 3.7V
- The more coils you have, the less your battery will last (the main reason I don't use them that much)
- Last but not least, the risk of an incident (battery failure) is very much increased with dual coils, because you draw much more "mah" than with single coils.

=> I would only use dual coils (atomizers or cartomizers) with a PROTECTED VV mod, like the infinity pro in my case. I'll never try them at 6V in my Silver Bullet for example, I think it might really increase the risk of turning my favourite mod into a bombshell.

So, you can try them on an ego battery, but the best setup if you still want to use them at 3.7V would be a 1.25 ohms DC on an IMR battery. I use my 1.5 ohms DC on the infinty pro and it is great around 4.2-4.5 V.

Hope this helps.

edit: In your case, if you stick to your ego battery, I'd recommend:

- a bridgeless 1.5 ohms 901 atomizer with a 510 to 901 adapter and an empire drip shield (all these awesome things are available at empire mods)

- a single coil LR cartomizer for PG juices (the 1.7 ohms "renew" cartos seem to be a good pick, I'm currently using Boges)

- buy a 3.7V device with IMR batteries LOL
