What is an atomizer?

The atomizer is the most important part of an electronic cigarette. It’s what produces the mix of vapour and flavours you get from your device. Unlike a clearomizer, a rebuildable tank atomizer (RTA) allows you to choose your own style of vape, save money and even find a new hobby. This article is part of our guide to vaping.

The big difference between them is that you can build your e-cigarette yourself, i.e., you choose the coil and the cotton wool wick. However, one question immediately comes to mind: why bother when you could just buy a ready-made coil? There are three main reasons. The first is simply that it can improve your vape experience. The atomizer allows you to choose a coil for maximum satisfaction, whether that’s for vapour production, vape power or flavour.

The choice of atomizers is also much wider and more varied. Opening the door to the world of rebuildables will ensure your set-up meets your expectations perfectly. The second reason is financial. A ready-to-use coil generally costs 2 to 5 euros, and will need changing at least two to four times a month as some e-liquids will clog the resistance coil in no time. If you like using different liquids and change them frequently, the cost will soon mount up. Rebuilding a coil only costs a few cents for a piece of resistance wire and some suitable cotton wick. By the end of a year, the savings are clear. The last reason has to be the recreational side.
