Atomizer, Cartomizer, and
Clearomizer are device that you screw on a battery or power supply to deliver e-juice (e-liquid) in a vapor form. These are three major type of devices on the market today. All three type of devices work on the same principle of heating e-juice to a temperature of vaporization. It is important to note that there is no clear winner between Atomizer, Cartomizer, and Clearomizer. Some people prefer one over the other, and each has its own pros and cons which we will discuss in more details below. If you are unfamiliar with some of the terms in this tutorial please refer our web:

Atomizers are one of the original devices. They have a fairly small capacity and are best for people who prefer dripping. There are different design but majority of atomizers have a heating coil on the bottom with metal mesh on top of the coil. Some atomizers utilize silica wick instead of metal mesh.
Pros of an Atomizer: Perfect for dripping, which means that you can switch between different flavors of juices pretty fast, Simple design, Low cost and Easy to refill. Cons of an Atomizer: If you vape a lot, you need to continuously refill an atomizer, Some models of atomizers are rebuildable but require considerable skill and Hard to track amount of
e-juice left inside.
Cartomizers are similar in design to the atomizer. The big difference is that cartomizers have polyfill wrapped around a heating coil. A polyfill soaks e-juice and allows for longer vape time over atomizer. There are some designs of cartomizers that are housed inside a larger cylindrical tank that holds even larger capacity of e-juice. Pros of a Cartomizer: Hold more e-juice over an atomizer, Low cost, Easy to refill and Fairly easy to rebuild. Cons of an Cartomizer: Might not be suitable for heavy vaping. Some people people claim that polyfill material dulls the e-juice flavor and May retain flavor from previous e-juice.
Clearmizers are one of the newest and most popular devices on the market. These type of devices are usually cylindrical and feature a clear poly-carbonate plastic or Pyrex glass tank. A clear tank allows you to see the level of e-juice inside of a clearomizer. E-juice is delivered to the heating coil by ways of a silica wick. Some designs feature top heating coil with longer wicks, others have bottom placed heating coil with short wicks which allows for easier wick saturation. Be sure to check out our full line of
