In the last chapter, I have mentioned different kinds of atomizers and in the following I am going to give 6 “how” to solve your common questions.
If you use a new atomizer straight after filling, you may get a burnt taste. To avoid this, let the atomizer stand for a couple of minutes, or swill the e-liquid around the atomizer to make sure it is absorbed by the wick before using. With bigger coils it is usually a good idea to try and completely soak all of the wicking material. This is done by applying liquid to the exposed cotton at the base of the coil, as well as dropping some liquid down from the top of the coil to soak the material around the side. Do be careful not to fill the coil with unabsorbed liquid, though. The aim is to make sure none of the wick is dry, so it is less likely to burn.
Whether filling a top or bottom coil atomizer, the same principles apply. While there is considerably more space between the tube and mechanics of the atomizers, some care is still required for filling. The basic golden rule of atomizer filling, no matter which type you have, is simple. Don’t get e-liquid down the centre tube. All modern atomizers have some kind of air tube (or chimney) running down the middle inside the main tank section. Getting liquid down the tube can cause performance problems by flooding the heating coils with too much liquid, or simply leaking liquid, causing a mess.
Taking care while filling is key. Depending on the design of the atomizer, it may be helpful to use an e-liquid bottle with a fine tip. This allows for more precise dispensing of e-liquid. The best way to fill (with or without such a tip) is to tilt the atomizer and let the e-liquid run down the inside of the tank itself. If there are markings on the atomizer, avoid filling past the top marking. This will ensure e-liquid does not overtop the center tube when putting the atomizer back together. If you use a new atomizer straight after filling, you may get a burn taste. To avoid this, let the atomizer stand for a couple of minutes, or swill the eliquid around the atomizer to make sure it is absorbed by the wick before using.
Basic cleaning is simple. A simple rinse is typically enough to keep buildup to a minimum in most cases. Just take apart all the components of your atomizer and run them through hot tap water to get any buildup removed. Wicks on the head can be rinsed as well, but special care must be taken in drying. Wet wicks will not perform well as water does not vaporize as readily as e-liquid. Remove as much mixture from the wicks as possible with a paper towel. Then let the wicks dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours.
If you have a replacement head, you could always pop that in and rotate the heads. If you’re in a hurry to dry the wicks, try placing them in a sealed container of rice overnight. The rice will absorb the moisture speeding drying time. For particularly gummed up heating coils, you could try using pure grain alcohol, or a strong, clear liquor to soak the heads and break up some deposits prior to rinsing. Do not use standard rubbing alcohol.
When a coil burns out, it’s usually much cheaper to buy a new replacement head and wick for a atomizer rather than buying a new atomizer. While models do vary, this is usually a simple process of unscrewing and replacing the head. In the video below, I demonstrate how to do do this with the Aspire Bottom Dual Coil Atomizer.
How Long Do Atomizers Last & How Do You Know When They Need Replacing?
Atomizers don’t last forever. In our experience, atomizers can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending how often you use it. Cleaning may extend the life but eventually you will either need to replace the whole thing if its a disposable, or replace the coil if it is a rebuidable. You know the atomizer needs changing when it starts to give a burnt taste, give weaker vapor production or just stop working.
Atomizers with replaceable coils usually turn out to be cheaper in the long term, since instead of purchasing a whole new atomizer you can just replace the coil/head on the atomizer. While models do vary, this is usually a simple process of unscrewing and replacing the head. In the video below, I demonstrate how to do this with the Aspire Bottom Dual Coil Atomizer.
Heat is created by the atomizer inside your atomizer. Electricity is passed through the heating coil wrapped around your atomizer. The coil provides resistance to the electricity. As the energy can not be fully conducted, it has to be turned into a different form. In the case of an atomizer, it is turned into heat.
