MTA? Mid-coil tank atomizer?

Shawn I think the one that's missing is the one I see the most lately and is the one I've been using which is RTA...I also find it astounding that in todays world almost nobody has the slightest idea what the true purpose of a 3 Pronged Left Handed Eshler Style Kiniggly Pin really is...Times change and I just go with the flow :D

Did I miss anything?

;) Yup. Good old atomizers. Remember the 3-piece e-cig? That's how we all started.

You can still find them (sans cartridges ;)):

Genuine Boge™ 510 Dripping Atomizer - Vapor Authority (out of stock :facepalm:)

510 LR Long Barrel Bridgeless 1.5ohm Atomizer (Cisco Spec)

:w00t:

ETA: And cartotanks. I believe Kat is the only person still using them. :p

Ah ha! Read it again... cartos are in the list

Those are not cartos, dear. Those preceded cartos. Those are dripping atomizers--no filler. You dripped on them or had to use a separate "cartridge." Cartomizers combined the two--atomizer and cartridge (or filler).

Oh, how quickly they forget. :)

Right, I know--I just had to tease my dear friend Katdarling, the queen of cartotanks. :D

Oh, and welcome back! :)

    I have three of them all loaded up sitting on those "P" thingies at all times. :lol:

    Even still have about 50 of those old 510 atomizers :shock: but those old cartridges all went the way of baiting mouse traps.:eek: (you wouldn't believe how well they worked)

    Add:
    Remember when ya always got 5 new cartridges with anything you bought??

    I did, but I haven't used it yet. I got a rainbow and saving it for a rainbow colored RTA, the berserker.... :)

    I can use the OBS Engine 25mm on my Alien, the Pico 200W, iStick 40W, and most anything besides my Pico 75W's. I have a heat sink that might raise it up enough to clear the battery cap on the Picos.

    I decided to go ahead and coil up the Engine. Two 28ga/2.5mm coils at 1.4 ohms each that paired up in a dual coil arrangement at .52 ohms. Both dry fired with even glows.

    Flavor is strong and definitely far above my Kayfuns. The vape is a little on the harsh side of throat hit at 18 watts for me and a little weak at 10W, so there's room in between for finding a sweet spot. Draw is definitely not Kayfun like when closed almost all the way, but it works for me. It's just a different feel. Vapor is a little weak at low air flow settings and somewhat on the harsh side, but the coils and wicks probably need some break in. So far, I think it might be a workable MTL atty, but I'll have to give it some time and play with the settings and see how it goes.

    I Have told several people following threads of a steel screw was a good way to make spaced screws. But always used micro coils myself

    LOL...Thanks...I could have sworn you'd mentioned that you space your wraps...And now that I've got a pack of 180 pads coming I'll have enough to keep me going for a while with plenty of oppps back-up material...Trig :lol:

    I've seen the threaded bolt method done and it's probably the most accurate way to maintain even spacing, especially if you can mount the coil between the posts before unscrewing the bolt.

    I usually hand wind coils on a mandrel, then stretch and compress. If you compress there's always a loop on the end that wants to hug up to a leg, so hand spacing is probably the way to go if you can maintain it through the wind.
