Mod help!

Not really sure what mods are or where to get equipment like rebuildable attys etc. I have been using an Ego for 2 years (also 2 years tobacco free). Dripping is my thing. When I buy attys, 2 out of three are usually poor in vapor production. I'm in the market for a new ecig and I want to get the best this time.

All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!

Chris

 

Hi Chris if you're wanting to buy a high end mod take your time and find something you like, ask lots of questions. The p + from super t manufacturing is really nice, I love mine. Rebuildable atomizers are harder to get and most of the good ones have a waiting list, I would recommend looking on youtube for something that interest you and ask everyone what they think. Look for a rebuildable with screw post terminals, they are easier to setup. There's lots of genesis users here and we are all happy to help. Congratulations on your two year mark.

 

First off CONGRATS on your 2 year achievement!

I would highly recommend and advise to ask the best of the best when it comes to rebuildable attys and that's DocDave!

 

It's really kind of hard to answer you. You've been vaping longer than I have and it's working for you. It's hard to want to mess with a record like that. I do use mods though. I have to ask where you're getting your atomizers. Unless you're doing something wrong with them or are using a really problematic juice, even bulk atties from vaporkings do better than that and they're cheaper than most places. There's a lot of variance in atomizer resistance sometimes. If that's what's causing the dissatisfaction, VV (Variable Voltage) would remedy the situation.

The term mod with a couple exceptions has come to mean a device with a replaceable generic battery. Some have VV. Some have a feeder system. Some have VV with a feeder system. Some are tubes and some are boxes. They can be wood, a variety of metals, or plastic. Some are manufactured and some are handmade by an individual or a small shop. They can be as cheap as $25 or as expensive as $700 or more. Some are nearly impossible to get.

As for what they can do for you, it's one or more of the following:

• More battery life with less expensive batteries.
• A different feeder system. In some cases like bottom feeders that amounts to a more convenient way to drip.
• Variable Voltage
• Variable Wattage
• A fixed but, higher voltage
• Greater durabiliity

Most them are bulkier than an ego. None of them resemble a cigarette. So, I have to ask what you would like to improve from the list above. Is size important? Must it be a tube or is a box acceptable? Do you want to try VV? How much are you willing to spend? I get that you're frustrated with your atomizers. I would be too but, I'm not sure what else you want.

I have a couple coming but, I haven't tried a rebuildable atomizer yet. You don't drip most of them. They usually have a wick with a juice reservior. There are a few you can drip but, I don't know a lot about them.

To be honest, I think some of your atomizers are a little lower resistance than others. A relatively inexpensive ego twist may be all you need.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention that DocDave will be releasing his "BLISS" soon! The "BLISS" is a rebuildable atty! It is a Genesis type style atty! NO pictures yet are available, but here is some basic info on the "BLISS":

Diameter: 53/64
Length: 2 7/16
FDA approved Stainless Steel
Scientific Chemistry Grade PYREX

The "BLISS" will be EXCLUSIVELY RELEASED here in Nu-Vapor!

 

I feel that I need to add a little bit more to the tome I already wrote. You say 2 out of 3 atmizers are not putting out enough vapor. A standard resistance atomizer runs from around 2.8 ohms to 3.2 ohms. The lower resistance will provide more vapor and heat. A standard ego puts out around 3.4V. So assuming the atomizers you like are 2.8 ohms and the ones you don't like are 3.2 ohms, varying the voltage to a little over 3.6V should be pretty close to what you like on those atomizers you don't like. For around $30 an ego twist will do that easily and more. You get to keep your current form factor too.

 

Hey! I am using a LR atty from Joyetech. I get them from liberty flights. When they work they are great and I get about 1 month out of the good ones...sometimes longer. Maybe the ego twist would be the solution. I will have to check it out. Form doesn't mean much to me and I was actually thinking of picking up the Screwdriver from Totallywicked. Anyone use this?
My biggest concern is vapor production and consistency. Where do most of you get your 510 attys? Anyone ever try Halo attys?

 

I really like my rebuildable dripping atty. There is a few out there but some are hard to come by. I should have one of the first made Trog Screwdrivers here in the next few days not sure if I'll be keeping it. For a regular 510 atty I use 1.7-1.8ohm on my 3.7v mods.

 

The only atty I like is the dual coil atomizer from cloudsofvapor.com. Those are the only ones that I'll use on a mod...I like them on my Reo's.

As for a rebuildable dripper, you can join facebook for coop that is going on there. I'll PM you the email address and details if you'd like if you don't want to join FB. Also, search for the Ato-miser. It's not a bad rebuildable. It's what I am currently using so I can learn to build coils while waiting on my other rebuildables to get here....and also Doc's to be released...I think I'll vape myself into a coma waiting on that one with anticipation for release.

 

If the difference between the atties you like and the atties you don't like is the variance in resistance seen in just about all atties (This industry NEEDS some serious quality control.), then a fixed voltage mod is the wrong answer. Also if that is the case, you don't need a high powered VV to find out. A relatively inexpensive ego twist will tell the tale. There's nothing wrong with going to something more powerful or to a different form factor but, I really think you need VV.

You expressed an interest in rebuildables. I share that interest and I have a couple on the way but, I haven't tried them yet. There's going to be a lot of variance in the resistance in those as well. I really need Docdave to chime in here but, for consistancy's sake, I would think VV would be imperative for a good experience with them.

I can't help you with the 510s. I use mostly use 901s. I typically buy them in bulk from vaporkings. They aren't anything special but, they are inexpensive and they work well enough. A lot of people get 510s there but, I don't have any experience with them.

 

I use rebuildable Genisis atties almost exclusively and 99% of the time with a mechanical mod normally my Legacy occasionally my Precise+ 18650. I do have a 2 VV mods but they are not what I use with my rebuildables.

The new Hybrid's combine a Genisis rebuildable atty with the mod and I have yet to hear of any VV hybrids.

While some people do use VV with Genisis and other rebuildables VV is by no means necessary for a great Genisis experience.

If you are happy dripping you may not want or need a Genisis which normally has a tank. A rebuildable atty may suit your vaping style better.

 

Thanks for all of the help folks! Looks like I have some researvh to do!

Best to all
Chris
