Vapage - AMG Hybrid Bottom Feeder (2-pack) - 2.5 Ohm

Just wanted to share my initial impressions. A two pack of these shipped cost me $18.27 with a coupon code at checkout.

First off, these will not work with my MonkeyBoxx, not sure why, but they won't fire on that connector. Put one on my Phidias and BOOM...no problems even though they say the atomizers are not for needle-feed systems. The needle end seems to be clear of the coil, no problems.

After priming it up, the first thing I noticed is how airy the draw is. These atomizers definately let more air into the mix. It's similar to drawing on an analog. However, the vapor production is so strong, it's not a problem. At 2.5 ohms the vapor is nice and cool, just how I like it. Just my taste, but at 3.7V I cannot stand the 2.0 ohm and below atomizers. They run too hot and seem to be burning the ejuice as much as vaporizing it.

Overall, I can recommend these atomizers, but they might not work on all mods. I'll report more after I've used these for a few weeks.

That's odd, Thad, that they do not work in your MonkeyBoxx as they surely work in mine? That's a confusing one :confused:

Yea man, I have no idea....it's got to be something with the connector in my MB. Remember, I am one of the early MB guys, I'm sure Tom changed his connectors over time. Hey, at least they work in my Phidias.

An update, I'm not liking these much. They seem to require too frequent of cleaning. The vapor production drops off after just 2 days of vaping. My standard 510 atomizers last about 4-5 days between cleaning. I also find myself going back to my Monkey with a standard 510 for the thicker vapor I'm hooked on.

The past couple of months of fighting atty fade has convinced me that I need a MB VV box. All atomizers SUCK, they all fade and I feel I could use a new one every 3 days. I've tried a multitude of brands/resistances and it's always the same story....fade. I see why a lot of people use the LR atomizers, but I cannot stand the blistering hot vapor. My sweet spot is 2.3-2.5 ohms with 3.7v, it makes the vapor I prefer.

The strange part is that I dilute ALL of my ejuice down to about 70% using PG/VG and my atomizers still gunk up. A close inspection shows the problem is right on the coil, a black, carbonized mess that seems to cut the power. This is where Tom's VV would come in handy! Man, I wish he was still in full swing, this blows.

I had the same problem with the new 2.0 version hybrids. The pin is just set too low on some of the new hybrids. Just pull the connector out a little bit with a toothpick or paperclip and it should work.

Also for your atties, soak them in alcohol for 2 days, let them dry out for another day, then burn them a couple times with no juice (just till it gets red hot 2 or 3 times). That gets them to keep on going for another week or two for me usually. But if I do it again when they die off the second time they just pop.
