Atomiser Anatomy

I have been waiting for a while for an atomiser to finally break so that I could take it apart and see if a 'Re-Build' would be possible.

I will probably try to build this up again in an attempt to bring it back to life as this one is a 'Clone' which had different characteristics and seemed to work better than my original JOYE atty's in my first mod.

The tube used for these devices is made of some kind of high quality alloy - it is very hard but can get bent it your not careful.

I started by finding a drill bit that fitted the inside of the tube perfectly - that way I could clamp the tube in a vice whilst retaining the shape of said tube - this meant I could hold the tube sufficiently.

Once the tube was held securely I used a miniature blow torch to heat the tube where the atty was situated - you know when its hot enough to twist the brass fitting as the atty will start to smoke and pop out fluid - like a volcano.

At this point take your pipe grips and twist off the top of the atty (Brass threaded part).

Now you can see a white ceramic part and a couple of really thin wires that you just broke taking it apart - take your drill bit and push the whole lot out of the tube.

Don't put the tube face down on a bench and push otherwise you will damage the wick as it pokes out of the end with no where to go.

As you can see once its all been taken apart you are left with the element, this is again, REALLY THIN wire wrapped around a piece of the wicking - This atty was about 4 weeks old and I killed it by passing 20v through it in an experiment.

Even so I had a Black element.

These parts are cheap but it is human nature to try to save money.
