Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Finally ! This is a little masterpiece that will delight many.

The Alpha from Atmomixani is an atomizer made for a daily single coil vape that requires a little bit of dexterity in the implementation of the wick (and that's it). It has an original engraved plate as well as an unthreaded bell which moves to avoid dry hits. You will succumb to this atomizer which easily takes liquids loaded with vegetable glycerin to restore you a creamy and voluminous vape at a reasonable power.

This atomizer is a very nice surprise but above all a great discovery for me with the great pleasure of re-vaper on my Nemesis (Atmomixani Mechanical Mod) in a time when electronic boxes flood us.

With the Alpha, you do not need any more artifice to get the class!

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Elegant with a sober Kayfun look, this atomizer is in stainless steel, in a matte finish. Its tank is in PMMA but also exists in Pyrex.

All the threads are perfectly machined, the finishes are superb and the engravings on the bell with the serial number are beautifully made.

As for the plateau, the work is exceptional. You can put your fingers in every corner, nothing cuts, not even the clamping screws to fix your resistive. A marvel of patience that is seen in the choice of joints that are doubled and whose quality is much higher than most of those who equip the atomizers of the market.

While the weight is 75 grams, it is the weight of the material and especially the thickness of the material that makes the object solid and of good consistency, so rest assured, it will not deform at the slightest impact. It is a high-end product whose price is justified in my opinion, by its good overall quality.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The first functional quality of the Alpha is the ease of execution of the assembly. The fixings for the resistive on the pads are slightly offset in order to obtain a right coil the first time.

The air flow is not very aerial because it is suitable for a vape around 20 watts. However, it allows a direct inhalation barely restricted but sufficient with total 6 holes (3 X 2).

The engraved tray leaves a large space for the wick to be completely soaked and unimpeded, so the capillarity is ideal.

The bell is not screwed to the board but is placed and then fixed by a screw which leaves a little play to allow it to move slightly. This little game is very clever and allows the bell, during the aspiration, to barely rise to allow enough liquid to pass regardless of its fluidity in order to properly soak the wick. Generally, during suction, a compression is created and sometimes helps to promote dry hits. However, with this system, that becomes mission impossible (on condition of always respecting the balance of the assembly between Ω and W).

The heat dissipation is also well controlled and at no time did my atomizer heat up.

For the brass pin, another pleasant surprise, because not only is it adjustable, but also because it is screwed and unscrewed against the direction by a reverse thread. This is a very good thing because it often happens that the pin moves when screwing the atomizer on the mod and that the contacts are leaky due to an unexpected screwing. With this system, this is simply no longer possible.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Length and type of drip-tip present: No drip tip present
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: No present drip tip

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

There is nothing to say about the drip tip since it is not provided and as always I regret that a luxury product is not delivered with the appropriate accessories.
The drip-tip is for me inseparable from the atomizer sold and must be effective while being in the aesthetics of the object. Not for Atmomixani apparently, maybe so as not to increase the purchase price? I do not know.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 1.5 / 5 1.5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

It is a luxury product that deserves better. Your Alpha is delivered in a pretty navy blue velvet pouch with two additional seals for the Pyrex tank, a spare screw to fix the bell and a Allen key.

But it is often the packaging offered by Atmomixani for its products. Too bad no record is delivered to explain the position of the wick and / or assembly.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The use of the product remains simple and the engraved plate gives a lot of space to make the assembly in simple coil. In addition, the holes on the studs are slightly offset to position your resistance so be careful when making your turns, start on the right side.

Nothing is complicated on the Alpha, you just need to know how to put the wick. I tested two ways:

- The first is classic but not very effective : I insert my wick and I fall back on the engrave that forms "a kind of walk". My resistance made with a kanthal of 0.3mm on a support of 3mm, I made 6 turns for a result of 1Ω, I steamed between 16 and 20 watts and despite that to 16 watts with a wick well soaked resting on the plateau I still had some light dry hits. The more I build up my power, the more they are numerous.

- The second is recommended : I insert my lock in the resistance, I share each piece of wick in two and I spread it evenly on the board as in the photo below, with two pieces that pass behind the studs and the two others are on the engrave.

KODAK Digital Still Cameraalpha_double-coil2alpha_double-coil3
The realized resistance makes 1.3Ω with a kanthal of 0.3mm on a support of 3mm and 8 turns, I steamed between 16 and 22 watts. I have absolutely no worries, no gurgling, no dry hit, a round vape and very nice. A fabulous restoration of flavors with a nice dense steam.

I used a 90% VG liquid for my test to see if the viscosity would be a problem for this atomizer, conclusion: NO!

For filling, it's a breeze, just unscrew the top cap and gently pour the contents of your bottle directly into the tank. However to change your resistance, it will be necessary to empty the tank before.

The pin is adjustable, but it therefore has an inverted thread, which is an advantage in order not to risk it being screwed in as the operations progress.

The air flow is provided with two sets of three holes. It is not an extremely aerial atomizer but enough to be able to have a direct inhalation. So an ideal flavor / steam match.

Only small constraint: the change of tank. Because there is a replacement pyrex tank sold separately for the Alpha. This tank is sold with two gaskets that look a lot like the ones already on the atomizer, except that they are slightly thinner so that the pyrex tank is perfectly in place.

But to change these seals, it requires completely disassembling the base of the atomizer by removing the pin, then with the allen key to take out the tiny screw, unscrew the bottom plate and finally, slide the airflow ring. Finally, the red seals present must be inverted with those supplied with the pyrex.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Congratulations to the owners of the Alpha and future buyers, it is a very good choice and it is especially a beautiful object.

The Alpha is an atomizer made to vape daily with beautiful flavors, on resistances and average powers, with an honorable vapor density. A very round vape that makes liquids creamy thanks to an airflow that allows direct inhalation not too much air.

This single coil atomizer is easy to use, there is only the positioning of the wick that requires attention, also it is made to vape on powers around 20W for resistances of about 1.2Ω ( it is in my experience, his favorite beach)

I regret the absence of the drip tip for a luxury product but we must admit that this wonderful ato has been thought out in all the details and machined in a majestic way to offer the vapoteur an object of choice with superior materials. It will ideally match a nice mechanical mod such as the Némesis from the same moderator in 18650 or 18350 format (Tested and approved;))
