New clearomizers, rebuildable or not?

[matt1988]

Ok, I am looking to invest in a couple of spare clearomizers, now the question is rebuildable or not.

I don't have much cash, and need a couple of spares, and I'm also looking to get an atomizer. 

My local vendor stocks the Kanger T2 repairable or CE-5 VER3 as the rebuildable, or CE4 (which is what I'm using now) un repairable. All these are just under £5

As far as atomizers go, they have Bauway Bridgless 306 or the bridged one. Both £5.50.

Now I'm not sure if I'm ready to use a atomiser yet, they sound a bit complicated, but I'm sure the shop will show me how to use them. 

So which one of these would you get, if not can you suggest a better one for similar money, and what is the difference between a bridged and a bridgeless atomizer.

Thanks again guys, sorry to constantly pick your brains and help, but I know you will come up trumps



Edit: They do have a few more, but I don't know what I'm looking for with these things, there are so many, and all slightly different

I would go with rebuildable as you can just replace the bits that break as and when rather than replacing the whole clearo on a non rebuildable. Works out cheaper that way.

Kanger evod. Amazing.
Mini nova. Although more expensive to buy it does come with 3 heads.
There are others but they are the better end of the market.

What battery are you going to put them on?

+1 for evod. Don't have one myself but everyone has said how easy they are to rebuild. Nova's are easy too (from experience)

[matt1988]

I'm putting them on an ego twist 900. I have an ego standard 1100 as a back up.

Is the evod reliable, I have read alot about them leaking, whether I have been lucky or not, these have only leaked a few drops, I suppose they could get worse. They do sell the Nivi Nova for £8.60 but they are out of stock at the moment.

Also what atomiser should I get? Or am I better to leave that for now?

I love my novas, but beware of cheap ones - there seem to be rip-off copies about.

I have bridgeless 306's because I use them for tasting - less to wash out - but I don't think there's a lot to choose between them.

I've been using CE5's for a couple of months now and find them great. The heads are easy to clean in warm water, and I rotate them leaving cleaned ones to dry naturally over a couple of days. I like the sleek appearance of the setup, and one filling lasts me all day till mid evening, as does the battery (650maH).

I would go with the Evod for definate,takes just a few minutes to recoil and i have never had any leaks or gurgles.If you want to try a cheap,good quality rebuildable atomiser then go for the Igo-L dripper to see if rebuildables are your cup of tea.A lot of choice out there so good luck with it all.

Been using these cheap and cheerful rebuildables without any problems, £1.90 each inc free delivery but drop to £1.71 if you get 10 or more, you can get spare heads but they cost as much as the whole thing.

Only problem with the free shipping is it can take upto 6 weeks to arrive!!!! but every order has turned up eventually

Edit
Just looked at the price of the head and it is £2.03 ??? 13p more expensive than the complete unit!!!

+1 for the IGO L . . . Easy to set up and a nice vape as well

Dripping is nice to do, but not practical really, I would never advise against getting a dripping atty usually, love mine personally but if finances are limited, then getting an extra clearo or two would probably be the way forward, as along with the 306 atty, you have to get a 306 drip tip as well, adding another pound or two onto the cost. The reason I say this is that you will more likely get a lot more use out of the extra clearos than the dripper, where you are limited to using it at home and places you can sit still and drip. It's more of a luxury than a necessity I suppose.

I have both a genuine and smok mini nova, both perform equally well I feel, no leaks or gurgles from either of them. Recently been using a CE4 as well, which again I have had no problems with, and have ordered some CE5's from zainy, which work out about 2 quid a pop. In my opinion you can't really go wrong with a decent clearo, I have only had issues with the T3, but since that is/was a new model at the time, the niggles get ironed out if you buy the older models generally!

Started rambling a bit there, and lost focus on what I was saying, sorry!

To me, the question is very simple to answer. If I buy any clearomiser of any type, then it has to have a replaceable or rebuildable head. I'd rather spend less on new atomiser heads than more on a complete unit. Now, obviously there are some cheap clearos out there but I've never had one that's lasted a long time. My first (and only) CE4 lasted a matter of hours. My only ever M1 (nano type) lasted 10 refills (of about 1.2ml).
I have (use) approx. 4 CE5s(V3s), 2 mini novas, 2 EVODs (recently got into these) and 1 innokin dual coil. All marvelous i.m.o.

As for dripping atomisers, I'd certainly recommend you try a 306, they really are excellent. A true rebuildable dripping atomiser is not the same...sure, it does the same thing, maybe better, certainly better in some cases, but whether to splash the cash depends on how much use they might see. A few months ago, I was swapping juices all the times, trying new stuff, testing some recipes.....all these were done on a 306. If you use one every day, it's got to be worth buying an RDA....or if you just like dripping! For quick blasts now and again, a £5-6 306 will last ages. Just get a good one though.

Summing up, rebuildable (both types) all the way for me, unless it's just occasional dripping/testing liquids.....

Great - you'll enjoy. Don't forget the drip tip.....it's not an option.

PS - I've had a few. There are some duff ones out there (non-branded or "shop" branded). Go for Bauway. Vape Escape sent me the last one(s). I also had a standard resistance one from Vapour hut which has lasted months and months. (I soak them in Vodka periodically).

The bridged ones hold a little more than the non-bridged. Seem to vape the same to me. They only hold very small amounts of liquid though, just so you know.
