Will any 510 atomizer work with my e-cig??

[QusieQ]

I just purchased a 510-X Zircon e-cig from a local mall vendor. It is made by First Union, new in 2011. I love this thing!! Anyway, it came with two atty's and I would like to purchase additional atty's, and the vendor doesn't have any!! Where do I look online to buy these atty's?

And my main questions is ... are all 510 atty's the same. I have a 320 mAH battery.

thanks

Hi, congrats on moving away from cigs! 510 is a description of the threading size. Overall, yes, they are very interchangeable.

You may want to investigate cartomizers, a one-piece unit that both contains the juice and has the heating element. A good one to try for your battery size might be Boge 3-ohm carto.

Try several juices, try several atty/cartos.

Sent from some hand-held thing. It makes noises, sometimes.

Feeling stupid, what is ohm? is it important to know this information when looking for accessories?

In general only 450mah+ batteries should use LR (low resistance, low ohms, hotter) atomizers and cartomizers. Examples of such batteries 14mm+ in diameter are the fat models Ego, Riva 510, Vgo, Kgo as well as 510-threaded mods with removable industrial Lithium Ion or AW IMR batteries. Low resistance is usually stuff below 2.5 ohms IF the battery is 3.2 to 3.7v (i.e not a high voltage device because high voltage devices have their needs).

Ohm is what electrical resistance is measured in. Lower ohms ecig attachments use power faster (some too fast for slim batteries) and make more heat.

You have a 9.2mm diameter slim mini and I think you should stick to 2.5 to 3 ohms (2.5 is the hotter end of that).

Ohms is a measure of resistance in electrical terms. Think of electricity as water. A high-pressure hose would be high voltage. A large diameter hose would pass more volume, or current (measured in amps). If you stuck a sponge in the hose, that would 'resist' the flow, that's resistance. In the case of a heating element like our atty/cartos, less resistance (in ohms) makes a higher temperature, but uses more amps. Many like lower 1.5 or 2 ohm atty/cartos, but that might be hard on your 320 mAh battery.

OIC, thanks!!
