*doesn’t even know what a closed pod is. A disposable you have to buy a separate battery to run? Those were around about 2010. It implies there is an open one for one thing*

Could get spendy long term. I DIY rda squonkers and I spend about $1/10ml of juice. The two dollar bag of cotton balls I bought years ago is about half gone.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

If I had my min post count this would go under atomizer hardware.

Let me explain what I am trying to achieve. Maybe best if I explain what I'm really after. I don't want to spawn a debate here but in my decade+ of vaping I am blown away by the flavor delivered by good disposables. Granted the throat hit and warmth are near non-existent and that in my opinion the nicotine delivery is actually a tiny fraction that of sub-ohms etc. My experimentation suggests that there is nothing special about the juice used in disposables, perhaps more sweeteners and flavor base but some bottled liquids have this. It seems that the difference is that the disposables use high resistance meshes. My first measurement looks like a ridiculous 4-6ohm but this could be my meter not being good enough I'll have to test further.

So whether or not you agree with me on the flavor claim I do want to try and replicate this in an RTA. From the comments and more research I see that this wouldn't be practical to build from mesh sheets and I don't know if you can buy the stamped ones like attached. So I think the best I could do is with coils instead; I think with 30AWG I could be made fit, though dual I think 1ohm ballpark would be the highest?

Thanks again!
