Well, back to the original question... Why do I want a better atty?
Because I want to know what to expect. They are so inconsistent now. If I were to take a 2 week trip right now, I would feel the need to carry quite a few attys with me, because I really have no idea when one will flake out on me. I still have the first two I ever got, and they still work. But I have also lost 5 others in the meantime. 3 of those just died between one breath and the next.
No warning. No slowdown first. Just dead. Multi-meter dead.
Better to me means they would be consistent, and I would know approximately how long they were going to last, and could depend on that. So if I went on a 2 week trip, I could grab a couple of extras and go. Not 10.
I know I'd have to pay for that. And the manufacturer still has to make a profit. If the cost benefit ratio were good for me, and good for the manufacturer, then we'd all win.

cayman -- 510 atty's are $5 and ship free when purchased in bulk on my site ;)

very good points bunni ... :)

I have looked all over your site, but for some reason never saw any "bulk" deals.
Would you mind posting a link to the bulk section please or advise on how to order and get bult prices? All I can see is the normal price of $9.99 for Atomizers :-(

Thanks

don't quote me, but i believe the discount will update when you add the specified quantity.

there's another post listing the prices as well, i believe it is titled something to do with "bulk pricing" (in the PS forum).

There is a fairly small rectangle about the Related Products column... or right below Add to Wishlist button which is next to the Add To Cart button. :)

Hope this helps...

I just found the Bulk Info (it's a bit hard to spot the clickable link to it):

20% Off Bulk Atomizer Purchase
buy... Save... New Price...
5 - 14 20% $7.99 ea.

35% Off Bulk Atomizer Purchase
buy... Save... New Price...
15 - 24 35% $6.49 ea.

50% Off Bulk Atomizer Purchase
buy... Save... New Price...
25 or more 50% $5.00 ea.


Now my question is:
Can I order like:

10ea 901 atoms,
10 ea 801 atoms and
5ea 510 atoms
and STILL get the 50% off bulk discount for the 25 or more quantity????

Thanks for asking Steve. I've never bought yours until just recently, as I didn't know about the bulk discount. So, what I'm bringing up here are not issues directed at yours, just attomizers in general.

Consistant performance.

I would like attys that vape as good on day 5 as they do on day 1. All the ones I've tried so far fade away in less then a week.

Tell us how to clean them properly. If it's best to blow them out and rinse in vodka every 2 nights, that's fine. Should we soak them in cola every 3 days? If we should dry burn every night, that's fine. Just tell us the appropriate maintenance for your attys.

I want to be able to depend on them; If I buy 5, I don't want to find a dud (or one that just under-performs).A "guarentee" means (if I have a bad one) I have to go to the post office on Saturday morning, and pay to ship back what should have been right in the first place. Maybe the guarentee should be if the customer has to ship one back, they get 2 free. Something to offset my lost Saturday morning, and an incentive for the manufacturer to test them better before they are shipped.

That's about all I want in an atomizer.

P.S. Great juice! I love the CashCap; Any plans to offer vanilla any time soon?

I really don't understand why ecigs are designed like they are. Seems like it should work like this:
Your Mouth - Mouthpiece - Atomizer - Liquid - Battery.

You pull the liquid through the atomizer, and it's vaporized, then into the mouthpiece. Have some absorbent material in the mouthpiece just in case any juice gets through. The atomizer is basically a heating tube that the liquid gets pulled through. If you can't vaporize it that fast in the atomizer, form the tube that the liquid flows through into a spiral, or even more complex shape. You could put a pressure sensitive valve on top of the liquid container, so that the liquid can't escape until you draw, which causes the valve to open.

This is an old one. But, since I already here, I have only couple of items that I think need improving. The attys need to be capable of a cleaning cycle that will help purge the carbon that sticks to the coil. The wicking system also needs to be a bit more durable.

You are right about one thing Steve. The cost of the atomizer is very reasonable assuming that they will always be available. I'm afraid that the FDA will try to cut us off from our suppliers. So instead of costing a mere 5.00 per week they will become priceless.

Excellent idea except you have to prevent the liquid from hitting the batt and make a connection from batt to atty around or through the liquid.

But yeah, you make an excellent point - half the difficulties seem to be the liquid having to make a round trip!

Consistent performance would have to be the single most desirable thing from my POV. The problem with PVs in general is the wide variety of variables that we have to deal with making them work right. Battery charge, fluid level, if the atomizer is flooded or not, the quality of the fluid itself, what kind of filler you're using... the list goes on. The beauty of analogues is that they're simple. Light it up and go. PVs require FAR too much futzing and fussing. Someone needs to invent a VASTLY more consistent and easy PV before they'll be ready for prime time.

If you put absorbent material in the mouthpiece to catch juice, it also catches all of the flavor from the vapor and, I'm assuming, at least some of the nicotine as well. I've tried this. Trust me... no flavor.
