What size?

[marya1144]

I'm going to try a bottom feeder and wanted to see what size needle to use? I'm not sure if I want to try the tubing going through the atty... Well I do want to try that but have to order it... The needle I can pick up today... Thank you for your help!

Hi Marya, it depends on the size of the connectors and atty. Needles are cheap so I would recommend getting some 16 and 18G. A 18G clears a small 510 connector from madvapes easily. Good luck!

I had good luck with 20 gauge (but you have to seal up the bottom of your connector with some silicone) That way it can be used with cartos as well. I haven't had good enough airflow with a carto using 18 Gauge.

I have the same problem using the 808's. Was thinking of picking up some 20ga needles. How's the air flow with those? I'm making a replica of a bottom fed juicer. Don't want to say the name incase I step on some toes.

You gotta watch the type. An 18G blunt will have a different OD than a 18G hypo.

With a 510 carto it is good. I would think 808's would be about the same. Just a tiny bit stiffer draw.
