Geekvape has been keeping up with trends, and recently, they have brought players the latest mesh atomizer device - Alpha. The launch of Alpha is aimed at allowing players to use it with Geekvape's latest dual-battery mod. The atomizer is made of resin and stainless steel, with a diameter of 25mm and an oil capacity of 4ml.
Alpha features a lockable top-fill system and a new Meshmellow atomizer core made with Egyptian organic cotton. The bottom dual airflow design allows the atomizer to maintain a lower temperature even when operating at high power. I have recently used several mesh atomizers like SKRR, Mesh Pro, and Fat Baby Mesh, and I am curious about how Alpha differs from them.
The atomizer has a refined and minimalist design, with the bubble tank and resin material giving it an outstanding visual appeal. It pairs well with the Nova mod we recently reviewed.
Alpha's top-fill design is somewhat similar to the top-fill design of the atomizers recently released by SMOK. When players press the "OPEN" button, the top cover opens, revealing a rubber filling port. Due to the position of the filling port, it is relatively easy to fill with a dropper, but using a larger plastic bottle can be a bit challenging.
Alpha also comes with a spare bubble tank, while the rest of the atomizer is made of stainless steel coated with resin. The overall build quality of the atomizer is excellent, which is not surprising.
Finally, and most importantly, it features a wide-bore drip tip and continues the previous resin color scheme.
Alpha uses a new atomizer core design, which Geekvape calls Meshmellow. They use Egyptian organic cotton instead of the traditional Japanese organic cotton. The single-coil design is for high power, while the dual-coil is suitable for medium power. The top openings of both atomizer cores are slightly smaller than conventional mesh cores, which may give them a stronger flavor performance.
The MM X1 single-coil atomizer core has a resistance of 0.2 ohms, suitable for power outputs of 60-110W; the MM X2 dual-coil atomizer core has a resistance of 0.4 ohms, suitable for power outputs of 50-80W.
Last week, I tested the MM X1 at around 75W, and during the test, there were no dry hits, leaking, or condensation in the mouth. The X1 has a high oil consumption, but for a 0.2-ohm atomizer core, high power usage will inevitably lead to rapid oil consumption.
The X2 is more suitable for medium power use, with an atomizer resistance of 0.4 ohms, and although it is a dual-coil design, it consumes less power. Considering the atomizer's 4ml oil capacity, the X2 seems more suitable for Alpha. The O-ring on the atomizer core tends to fall off, so be careful during installation.
Initially, Alpha gave me a mediocre impression; the airflow ring of the atomizer was locked, and at first, I tasted a plastic-like flavor, which might have come from the resin drip tip or the bottom of the atomizer. However, after opening the atomizer for inspection, both issues resolved themselves.
Since then, everything has gone smoothly. I had an excellent experience with both atomizer cores. The X2 produced a moderate amount of vapor at lower power, while the X1 provided a very direct flavor experience. I am not sure if this sensation is influenced by the Egyptian organic cotton or the design of the atomizer.
Overall, Alpha left a deep impression on me, especially when using the X1 at 80W or higher. The atomizer cores maintained good condition over a week, and to test the lifespan of the atomizer cores, I specifically used a sweeter cream e-liquid, and so far, it has passed the test successfully. I believe the lifespan of these atomizer cores is about 2-3 weeks, depending on how frequently you use them.
Since I add e-liquid at least four to five times a day, the top-fill design of the atomizer is very convenient. The structure of the atomizer is easy to disassemble and clean, and it uses durable O-rings. The comfortable feel and dense vapor I get from the Geekvape Alpha are enough for me to overlook the minor issues encountered with the atomizer.
Players can adjust the airflow by rotating the airflow adjustment ring at the bottom. The draw is smooth and quiet, but when the airflow is reduced, the sound produced by the atomizer becomes slightly louder - although not as loud as the Fat Baby Mesh, it is still not quiet. The airflow design of Alpha indeed affects the heat dissipation performance of the atomizer at high power.
Regardless of the power used, the vapor does not seem to get too hot. Overall, Alpha provides players with a very smooth lung hit experience, working well at any airflow setting. I actually prefer a stepped airflow adjustment design, but it seems that this design has not become mainstream yet.
We have a winner. Geekvape takes their work very seriously, and you can tell they have put a lot of thought into their products. This Alpha proves they know where their previous shortcomings were and have worked hard to improve them. They have incorporated some of the best features from current atomizer devices, such as resin aesthetics, mesh cores, and a lockable top-fill design.
In summary, I am very satisfied with the Alpha. Although I encountered some issues at the beginning of use, I would still recommend the Alpha to players looking for mesh or resin atomizer devices. Its flavor performance is very direct, with a huge vapor output, especially when using the X1 coil at high power. If you are using a single-battery mod, the X2 would be a great choice. What do you think of the Alpha? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section of the article.
