The Wave RTA is Atmizone’s own rebuildable tank atomizer concept, which challenges conventional thinking by setting a new paradigm in atomizer design. It has been developed using a back-to-basics approach, with a focus on fast rebuilding, great wicking performance and accurate flavour reproduction.

Just like every atomizer, the Wave consists of 3 sub-systems that supply the vaporization process with: i) electric power, ii) air and iii) e-liquid. But this is all with similarities.

What is different from other atomizers:

A. Compact Design – Fast Rebuilding

Other atomisers commonly rely on heavy parts, multiple o-rings & insulators, long pieces of wicking material and often no-res wire to join the various sub-systems. The components of the Wave RTA are organized much more neatly into a tightly integrated unit. The result is a compact atomizer that can be rebuilt fast, using only: i) common sense, ii) resistance wire and iii) cotton, silica, or mesh.

B. Real Time Liquid Flow Control and Real Time Air Flow Control

Unlike most other atomisers, with the Wave RTA you can control the quantity of both air and e-liquid that will supply the vaporization process, and this can be done real time.

E-liquid is injected into the Wave’s chamber using an innovative direct supply system, which is powered by capillary action and pressure equalization forces and has an incorporated liquid flow control function (LFCS). This ensures fast, consistent wicking, since flow is not slowed down by the dense structure of a conventional wick. Any cotton, silica, or mesh used in a Wave atomizer has limited role in its wicking performance: The choice of wicking material in a Wave atomizer is mostly a matter of personal preference since it mainly affects flavour and humidity / density. With the ability to adjust the e-liquid flow via the LFCS Ring (Liquid Flow Control Ring), you have all the power to control the amount of liquid going in the atomising chamber; most important thing: you can do this real time, with a full functioning device, without the need to rebuild, empty your tank etc.

Air is guided into the Wave’s chamber using a smart air flow control system (AFCS). The amount of air needed is controlled by an air flow control cap (AFCS Cap), conveniently positioned on top of the device. This allows you to choose how tight or loose your draw will be. The air is afterwards driven through the AFCS Tube, passing from the middle of the device and then lead to the side and bottom of the coil, ensuring the best air supply option for the vaporization process.

The two systems of the Wave RTA, liquid flow control (LFCS) and air flow control (AFCS) are controlled separately, and can be used real time. This makes the Wave a one-of-a-kind RTA, since any adjustments/modifications can be made any time, even with a full tank and functioning setup.

C. Real Time Access to the Vaporisation Chamber

Unlike most other atomisers, with the Wave RTA you can have real time access to the vaporisation chamber, even with a functioning setup, without the need to rebuild afterwards.

D. Great Variety of Rebuilding Choices

The Wave RTA gives a great variety of choices regarding your setup.

There are guided rebuilding procedures for two standard setup versions:

and numerous other potential rebuilding approaches for experienced users, mainly using different wicking and coiling material for the above setup versions.

The Wave RTA mainly consists of two sections:

1. The Wave Tank Section

The Wave Tank Section comprises of the following:

A. the Wave Tank Body

which includes:

• One main tank PMMA acrylic glass unit.
• One 9×1.5mm o-ring.
• One 1.5×1.0mm o-ring.

B. The Wave Top Cap and Bottom Cap

Both are made of 304 foodgrade SS.

The Bottom Cap features engraving with the Atmizoo logo and a unique serial number.

C. The Wave Air Flow Control Cap (AFCS Cap)

which is made of 304 foodgrade SS.

D. The Wave Air Flow Control Tube (AFCS Tube)

also made of 304 foodgrade SS.

Includes:

• One Wave Air Flow Control (AFCS) tube, made of 304 foodgrade stainless steel.
• Two 9×1.5mm NBR o-rings.
• One 11×1.0mm NBR o-ring.
• One 13×1.5mm NBR o-ring.

The AFCS Cap and the AFCS Tube together make the Air Flow Control System (AFCS) of the Wave RTA. You may see in detail how this system can be adjusted here.

The following is a detailed graph of the Wave Tank Section components.

2. The Wave Inner Section

The Wave Inner Section comprises of the following:

A. The Wave Pole and Insulator

Includes:

• One male pole for the contact with the electric supply device, made of soft brass to optimise conductivity.
• One acetal electric insulator that separates positive from negative pole

B. The Wave Base Set

This is the rebuilding deck of the Wave RTA.

Includes:

• One Base, made of 304 food-grade stainless steel.
• One Base Ring, made of 304 food-grade stainless steel.
• Two 7×1.0mm NBR o-rings.

The components of the Wave Base Set can be adjusted to control the liquid flow towards the vaporization chamber. You may see how to make adjustments to the Liquid Flow Control System (LFCS) of the Wave here.

C. The Wave Long Core

Includes:

• One Long Core, made of 316 food-grade stainless steel.
• One 2×1.5mm Red Silicone o-ring.

D. The Wave Nut

made of 316 foodgrade SS, to be used as a res wire retainer by screwing on top of the Long Core.

The Wave Long Core and the Nut work together and are suitable for the Vertical Setup rebuilding option.

For tips and instructions about the Vertical Setup rebuilding option check out the Wave RTA Step-by-Step Vertical Setup Rebuilding Guide .

E. The Wave Short Core

Includes:

• One Short Core, made of 316 food-grade stainless steel.
• One 2×1.5mm Red Silicone o-ring.

The Wave Short Core is suitable for the Horizontal Setup rebuilding option.

For tips and instructions about the Horizontal Setup rebuilding option check out the Wave RTA Step-by-Step Horizontal Setup Rebuilding Guide.

F. The Wave Inner Tube

made of 304 foodgrade stainless steel. The Wave Inner Tube screws on the corresponding threading of the Wave Base Set, to form the vaporization chamber.

The following is a detailed graph of the Wave Inner Section components.

Adjusting the Air Flow Control System (AFCS) of the Wave allows you to control how tight or loose your air draw will be when vaping.

Air is guided into the Wave’s vaporization chamber through a slot on the Air Flow Control Cap (AFCS Cap), which is conveniently positioned on top of the device. The amount of air needed is controlled by aligning the slot of the AFCS Cap with the slot of the AFCS Tube right below. The alignment of the two slots defines the size of the opening for the air intake. The air is afterwards driven through the AFCS Tube, passing from the middle of the device and then led to the side and bottom of the coil, ensuring the optimal air supply option for the vaporization process.

Check out the animation of how the components of the AFCS System work together to adjust the air intake of the Wave RTA.

Adjusting the Liquid Flow Control System (LFCS) of the Wave allows you to control how much e-liquid will enter the vaporization deck. E-liquid is guided towards the vaporization deck through a set of holes at the side part of the Wave Base. This set of holes is surrounded by the LFCS Ring, which is positioned around the neck of the Base. The LFCS Ring features 3 sets of consecutive holes of different sizes, 1.0mm, 1.4mm and 1.7mm respectively. The amount of e-liquid needed is controlled by aligning one of the 3 different-sized set of holes of the LFCS Ring with the set of holes of the Base right below. The interesting thing is that you may align the set of holes of your choice either fully or partially, to define the exact desired size of the opening for e-liquid intake towards the vaporisation chamber.

Below is an animation of how the components of the LFCS System work together to adjust the e-liquid intake of the Wave RTA.

You may also check out the following video to see how this adjustment is made.

There are two easy ways to refill your Wave tank.

First one is the side refill way, through a side refilling hole which is revealed when unscrewing the top cap a bit. To do this you need an auxiliary refilling bottle with a needle, provided with the Wave.
Here is the video:

The second is the bottom side refill, a direct refill way via the bottom side of the tank. You can do this straight from your e -liquid bottle / dropper etc.

This is a quick video of how to access the vaporisation chamber and deck of the Wave, real time, even with a full tank and operating setup.

The Wave allows a variety of custom setups of your liking, especially if you are an experienced vaper. Nevertheless, even if you are indeed an experienced vaper, it is strongly suggested that you follow one of our step-by-step procedures for your first setup approaches, so that you can get familiar with the device.

Below you can read some really useful tips and tricks about your Wave. Maintenance, rebuilding and any other procedure regarding your Wave are much easier with the following:

Tip #1

Before using your Wave for the first time and after any washing/maintenance of its components, always lubricate the o-rings and the surfaces of collaborating parts, by using your e-liquid as a lubricating medium. This will ensure long life and optimal function of the device and its real time adjustments.

**No need to overdo with this. A cotton swab is what you just need, to lubricate without excessive quantity of e-liquid. One pass around o-rings and surfaces of collaborating parts will do the job.**

Especially red o-rings should be handled with attention while assembling/disassembling, as they are silicon o-rings (softer than NBR black o-rings).

Tip #2

The Wave Tank Body is made of foodgrade / medical approved PMMA. Please consult the manufacturer of your e-liquid to check if it is PMMA friendly. You should avoid e-liquids that attack PMMA, as this will result to corroding your Tank Body.

Tip #3

When making adjustments to the Liquid Flow Control Ring (LFCS Ring) or the Air Flow Control Cap (AFCS Cap), always change one thing at time, also making any change gradually. The two systems are controlled separately but are interactive and partially affect each other. For example, making the draw tighter will eventually increase the liquid flow partially as well, although you have left the LFCS Ring intact. This has to do with physics and is not a malfunction of the Wave. Also, factors like the level of the liquid in the tank or the thickness of the liquid will also affect things. although leaving AFCS and LFCS at your initial positions. This is physics again and can be noticed with any other atomiser. The different thing about the Wave is that you can change things any time, real time. Just “listen” to your atomiser and adjust things to both your needs and the Wave’s needs. And again remember:

Tip #4

When carrying the Wave around, or want to put it in horizontal position, it is wise to shut off the liquid flow. This can be done easily by turning upside down, sliding down the tank section and then twisting the LFCS Ring to a non-aligned position (no hole is aligned). To put the LFCS Ring in off position, also watch this video:

Not shutting off the liquid flow might result to e-liquid leaking: it is plain physics, like placing horizontally any liquid container with a hole on top.

Tip #5

The Wave Brass Pole (male pole of the Wave RTA) should be clean and without dirt or oxidization, so as to optimize electric conductivity and performance. It is strongly recommended that you clean it periodically and have a look every now and then to check its condition.

If you want to clean it, just use vinegar or a mild brass cleaning medium. For thorough cleaning, you may afterwards wash with isopropyl alcohol, wipe and let dry for a few seconds before assembly.

**Do not rub excessively, do not use sandpaper or anything else that can cause damage**

Tip #6

The Wave Acetal Insulator of the Brass Pole should also be kept clean like every other part. To do this, just use a mild detergent or soap product. For thorough cleaning, you may afterwards wash with isopropyl alcohol, wipe and let dry for a few seconds before assembly.

**Do not rub excessively, do not use or anything else that can cause damage. Do not use corrosive detergents or other corrosive chemicals.**

Tip #7

The Wave Tank Body is made of foodgrade / medical approved PMMA. It is highly recommended to wash often every couple of refillings or rebuildings so that any e-liquid leftovers are removed. This will ensure fresh taste for new setups / top-ups.

If you want to clean it, just use a mild detergent or soap product.

**Do not rub excessively, do not use or anything else that can cause damage. Do not use corrosive detergents or other corrosive chemicals. Do not use isopropyl alcohol or any alcoholic derivative, as this might corrode this component.**

Tip #8

All 304 or 316 foodgrade SS parts of the Wave should be kept clean to ensure optimal performance and function.

To do this, just use a mild detergent or soap product. For thorough cleaning, you may afterwards wash with isopropyl alcohol, wipe and let dry for a few seconds before assembly.

**Do not rub excessively, do not use or anything else that can cause damage. Do not use corrosive detergents or other corrosive chemicals.**

Tip #9

When turning the Wave upside down for any necessary procedure (e.g. to access the vaporisation deck and chamber), it is a good chance for you to clean any excessive liquid that will run down through the drip tip. This may come from vapour liquidation or temporary over-flooding.

Tip #10

It is wise not to over-tighten the Inner Tube when screwing on top of the Base Set. If you do, this will eliminate the easy-unscrew process that is achieved by pulling up and turning the Tank Section anti-clockwise. Even in this case, you can always unscrew directly by carefully gripping on the part of the Inner Tube which is revealed after pulling the Tank Section up. To understand the Inner Tube easy-unscrew process that is achieved by pulling up and turning the Tank Section anti-clockwise, check out the following video.

Tip #11

It is wise not to over-tighten the Nut on top of the Long Core when coiling. Especially avoid the use of tools for this purpose. In case the Nut has been over-tightened, use a pair of pliers to twist it anticlockwise until loose, after placing the Pole/Long Core/Nut assembly on the bottom of the Base Set. This way you use the Base Set as an auxiliary base of repair, doing the reverse procedure from the one shown in the Wave RTA Detailed (o-rings) Inner Section Assembly Guide.

To understand the use of the Base Set as an auxiliary base, check out the following link:

Using the Base Set as an auxiliary base of repair. Example from the Wave RTA Inner Section Assembly (reverse procedure)

Tip #12

If you find it hard to slide the Core assembled part through the Base Set (Wave RTA Inner Section assembly procedure), try loosing (unscrewing) the Core from the Pole and Insulator a tad bit. Also check the red o-ring around the mid part of the Core and replace if it has failed.
