The Right Atomizer?

[Esmoker87]

I've been hearing about many different kinds of atty's, but I've only tried the 510. What is the difference between a "low bridge" and a "short bridge" <----I'm not sure if that's the correct names... but what does it even mean when they talk about the type of "bridge" in the atty. Also, I heard that the 801 atomizers are a bit bigger, holding more juice. Is that the only difference from the 510?

If you look inside the atty, the "bridge" is the mesh V shaped object inside. Some are distinctively higher, the lower one is the "short bridge". I THINK theres a pic on here somewhere showing the difference, Ill see if I can find it and post it here.

High bridge and low bridge only apply to the classic pennstyles or DSE 801 ,Joye 302 Janty Kissbox,Janty Stick and a lot of the mods.Your 510 you only have to choose between the authentic Joye 510 atty's and the DSE 510 atty's.The usual way to tell the diff. is the DSE's are $2.00 cheaper.Some people like them some don't .Try them and decide for yourself.As for the low high bridge thing ,the bridge is what you see when you look into the atty.It protects the element and helps wick the liquid from the cart.The high bridge was supposed to reach deeper into the cart and get more of the liquid out.In my opinion all it does is squeeze all the juice out and flood the atty.

Oh ok, i see it. Do you by chance know what the difference is, performance wise, between a short bridge atty and a standard atty? Also, have you tried a 901 yet?

Performance is a matter of opinion,I have used both and they put out the same vapor for me.I use the high bridge I got with my second kit for dripping and the low bidge ones I buy for carting or dripping.My atty of choice is the 302/Kissbox low bridge ,I have adapters to use 901 and 510 atty's on my 801 batteries and Kissbox passthrough.The only difference I can tell between the three is the 302/KB have way longer time between topping off due to the larger cart size.All are very good units and are readily available from a lot of places.

Alrighty, thanks for the info, that really clears up a lot for me. I've also heard that removing the threads under the bridge improves its performance... do you happen to know if this is true or not?

Everyone says no, but here's the discussion of it:

I think you would likely ruin the atty ,they work fine the way they are.Best to not poke around in there as the nichrome element is very fragile,that is why they have the bridge to protect it.

Thanks, I'm glad you said something. I was waiting to see if i should try it or not... I'm glad i didn't. I haven't tasted any burnt taste yet from the threads, but then again mine is almost brand new.
