Which interface do I need?

[Diagasa]

I have an Alpha Ultramax with the R.E.S. system. My res is simply not what I had in mind... I need to know whether or not I need the atomizer with switch or without switch interface. I love the device but the res does now do anything for me...
Thanks,
Diagasa

I'm pretty sure you can use the switch assembly that is in the RES interface with the standard atomizer interface, I'm fairly confident that they're the same (just push it out from the atomizer end and don't forget the o-ring). This would save you a few bucks if you just had to buy the interface with no switch ;-) I'm sure TmeisT will be along to confirm whether the switch assembly is the same or not

One thing to note, there are now two different tensions for the switch mechanisms, the newer one being a little bit lighter spring. So if you wanted the new switch then you'd need to get the interface with switch (then you'd also have both switches).

Sorry to hear the RES isn't agreeing with you

I figured it out thanks to Killjoy. I can get either one. It simply does push out the end.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes the switch is the same for either interface. If you want to save even more money simply take the RES off and keep the RES atomizer interface on and use whatever you want. It doesn't look as good as the standard atomizer interface, but works just as well none the less. If you want it to look better, just buy the atomizer interface without the switch and then put your old switch inside. That way you will have the smooth slanted base of the interface rather than exposed threads of the RES interface. Hope that helps.

Same switch- I got both, and have moved the switches back and forth between them.

Personally, I'd get the atty interface WITH switch, though- then you've got a spare.

It is much easier to just get a spare switch. That way you don't have to worry about switching them back and forth all the time.

Yeah- got a spare switch when I ordered. But when I'm cleaning gear, I don't keep track of which is which, so they sometimes swap places.

(In the beginning, I had a little trouble with switch function, and was taking them out a lot.)

BEst,
