The atomizer consists of several main components, including:

  • Tank - a transparent or opaque reservoir that holds liquid.
  • Heating element - a coil that heats up when current is applied and vaporizes the liquid.
  • Cotton - a material that absorbs liquid from the tank and delivers it to the heating element.
  • Base - the part of the atomizer that contains the coil and connects to the battery.
  • Drip tip - a removable tip through which the user inhales vapor and which can be replaced for convenience.
  • Adjustable airflow - an additional feature that allows the user to adjust the amount of air flowing through the atomizer and control the draw.
  • Connector - a mechanism that connects the atomizer to the battery or mod and transmits a signal to the coil for heating.

There are many types of atomizers, but some of the most common ones include:

  • Tanks - these are the most common type of atomizer. They consist of a transparent tank that holds e-liquid and an atomizer that converts the liquid into vapor.
  • Rebuildable Tank Atomizers (RTA) - this is a type of atomizer that allows you to create and install coils yourself and is used with a liquid tank. They allow for high performance and individuality but require some assembly skills.
  • Rebuildable Drip Atomizers (RDA) - these are the most common type for experimenting with different coils and liquid flavors. They do not have a liquid tank (only a small well, usually no more than 2ml) and require regular addition of liquid directly onto the coils and wick.
  • Rebuildable Drip Tank Atomizer (RDTA) - this is a unique type of atomizer where the liquid tank is located under the deck, which allows for a shorter path for vapor to travel and achieve the best flavor and performance. They require special maintenance skills and are the most advanced type of atomizer.
  • Sub-Ohm Tanks - this is a type of atomizer that provides high performance by using low resistance atomizers, which allows for a warmer and denser vapor.

How does an atomizer work?

An atomizer is a device that works on the principle of heating liquid to create vapor. It consists of a heating element (coil), which is typically made of nichrome or kanthal wire, and wicking material (such as cotton), which is located around the coil and absorbs liquid.

When using an atomizer, liquid enters the wick through holes in the atomizer's housing and then the heating element inside the coil heats the wick, which leads to the liquid vaporizing and forming vapor. This vapor then passes through the drip tip (removable mouthpiece) and enters the user's mouth.

Some atomizers also have adjustable airflow, which allows the user to control the amount of air that enters the atomizer along with the vapor, affecting the flavor and volume of vapor.
