I don't even think you have to replace the atomizers in this sucker!!!! This would be so much easier just to carry around a small butane bottle than multable batteries to get you threw the day.

Robert I'm not much of a review person but maybe i'll do when I'm at home tomorrow or tuesday. But to give everyone a lil info on it. It basically comes in the box you take it out fill it with butane and you're ready to go i bought a 250ml bottle for like 2.50 euro which is dirt cheap, and the sucker comes with a 2 year warranty. There's no atomizer to break, no battery to replace, all u need to do is add butane. My initial refill lasted me around an hour and a half and it only takes a few sec to fill it up. I tried to smoke it with a few drops of 6mg menthol e liquid and I nearly died from coughing, the throat hit was like taking a hit from a ..... I've been smoking peach flavored molasses with a few drops of 36mg unflavored e liquid in it and well the taste carries really nice and you get a huge throat hit, but the taste is not sweet like the flavors you get from ecigs. Also there isn't a huge amount of vapor production, that and the vapor is really really really warm. The device it self tends to heat up a good bit and you will burn your hand if you dont hold it right. At the end of the day it think its a pretty good investment, especially with the 2 year manufacture warranty and the fact that all you need is butane to power it.

What about the mess u were talking about?

The chamber where you keep the molasses gets sticky, so you have to clean it. I have to use ..../hooka pipe cleaner on it to get all the residue off. It's really not that big of a deal but i'm just a fussy person and i like to keep my stuff clean. The molasses for it are fairly cheap as well I paid 10 euro for 3 boxes 50 grams each. Every time you pack a bowl of molasses you only use a couple of grams if that.

This device has been kicked around here for over half a year now. The problem with it is that it gets so hot the e-liquid is burns right up and the flavor with it. That is why they sell the heavy molasses based flavors. The unit would be a viable alternative if it had a temperature control on it for our regular e-lquid.

Sun 3 drops of e liquid in this thing only gave me about 3 to 4 drags I think. I haven't had the courage to try any other flavors after my 6mg experiment but of the few drags I did take the menthol seemed to carry fairly well, if anything the flavor was stronger. If the heavy molasses are used just as filler and then drenched in e liquid it seems to work alright. I mix it all up in some tin foil and place it in the chamber to avoid any extra mess.

Crash--try this if you can as I suspect it will work:

Take a couple of old atomizers and take the wire nickel mesh out of them and roll it in a ball---then place the e-liquid on the ball and place it in the chamber and give it a go. The problem is direct contact of the liquid with the chamber--- and the mesh may very well obviate this problem. Let us know if it works--thanks in advance-------

Hate to tell you this but I had a massive clean out and have no dead/old attys left. Do you think it would work if I tried it with some other mesh stuff??? Maybe steel wool thats used to clean dishes??

Crash--what a shame you pitched them---but who knew. I would not use the steel wool as we concluded in the experiments section that this was not a viable option as a repalment for the polyester core due to toxic effects of steel wool. That nickel mesh in the atomizers does not to the best of our knowledge to date, is not toxic. Might have to wait Crash till a few more fry out on you as that is the perfect medium to use in that device.
