Quick question - Atomiser prices?

[santa668]

Hi guys,

Just curious really: I got a 510 SR atty to do some direct dripping with all the new flavours I've got, but I was surprised by the cost of the atty:

£4.50 for 1 atomiser, compared to £5.99 for 5 Boge cartomisers

I thought that the cartomiser was a combined atomiser and cartridge, whereas the atty is just the atomiser - surely it's cheaper to make the atomiser on it's own? Confused.com...

(And yes, I know I should have got a 306, but I don't particularly like the LR cartos I have and vapeescape didn't have SR 306's... )

So, can anyone explain why the atomiser costs 4x that of a cartomiser?

I may just buy a bunch of cartos and test my samples in those anyway - I've been having problems with flavours hanging around in the atty. But, I was curious about this and thought that someone on here may know a good logical reason why the prices are so different

Nick, an atomiser should last you at least 4 times as long as a cartomiser. Cartomisers, though they can be refilled several times, are really made to be disposable. Hence why they are so much cheaper than atomisers.

Ahhh, thanks Chrissie, that's useful to know cheers!
I'm sort of trying one of everything anyway to find out what I like so it's all in the name of science!

Lol Nick Mind you, there are a heck of a lot of things to try these days & more new stuff coming out all of the time

Plus Nick with the atomisers you will have a Much much better taste experiance, worth every penny

I know - there are far tooo many things to buy, I have a dozen websites open with items in baskets all over the place... Keep having to restrain myself from clicking "Go to Checkout".... It's like window shopping/licking

I was surprised by how different some of the juices I've tried in the atomiser tasted than in a carto... Sometimes too strong a flavour tho!
It's kinda frustrating because I wanted to use the atty to taste test juices, but its like I can't trust that I'll be able to replicate that taste in a carto or clearo ??? Dripping is too much effort to be my primary way of vaping lol

Well each combination is a lesson learnt, and there's many more to go!

Nick,

There are so many vaping components you can try, some swear by them, others dont like them, its all down to personel preferences

[maccafan]

Attys contain a ceramic coil holder, stainless steel mesh, a leak minimizing plastic disc and a bridge support on the bridged ones in addition to a larger wick and coil. Cartomizers only have a heat resistant wicking tube and polyfill in addition to a very small wick and coil..

Lot more components in an atty and takes longer to put together, hence the price difference..

Excellent explanation Macca
