Creating Your Own Dream Piece
Before I had ever learned to machine or use solid modeling, I had for the first time the opportunity to create my own dream piece. This tank atomizer was a very old niche with not a lot of appeal, but I saw an opportunity for myself and many other users who loved this kind of atomizer.
Several other advancements had come to pass, as well. Airflow control chief among them for customizing the experience, which was uncommon in competitors. This atomizer had several unique qualities compared to the competition as well.
First, the liquid reservoir capped out above the vaporization chamber. This meant that despite a diminutive 35mm in height, the Trajan atomizer could hold an astounding amount of liquid, thus reducing the need for fillups.
The vaporization chamber was substantially reduced in size from the industry average, thus ensuring that the vapor remained concentrated and flavorful.
Lastly, a removable build deck to assist with installing the coil was crucial, as the process could become finicky.
It was imperfect, but so were all genesis style atomizers. There were simple limitations of the design that could not be overcome without drastic changes that would keep them from even being called that anymore. It was my favorite to use, though, and the experience was consistently unique.
I have never been accused of doing anything the easy way — that’s why this is the portfolio of someone with a degree in economics, and not in manufacturing or engineering or industrial design. While I was still using vaporizers, that was still the case.
A vaporizer was designed a long time back that utilized stainless steel mesh as the wicking material as opposed to fibrous materials. That vaporizer was called the “Genesis” and tank atomizers which used the same material were called genesis style atomizers. The flavor was superb.
There was a problem, though. Vaporizers used resistive heating to vaporize the liquid, and stainless steel mesh was quite a lot less resistive than the Kanthal wire that was used at the time. It took a process of creating a carbonized layer on top of the stainless steel to prevent electrical shorts, which could be disastrous for vaporizers that had no electrical control.
Many years later, temperature control technology had come around, and by using nickel wire, the control boards of the batteries could fairly accurately estimate the temperature of the vaporizer. Additionally, the nickel wire was substantially less electrically resistive than the stainless steel mesh. Genesis atomizers could be used with less hassle and substantially more safely.
