    Cisco LR 306 vs LR 510 (I wish I had known they use the same connector earlier!)

    Cisco attys MUST be properly primed or they will taste burnt. I had the same problem with my first 306 LR. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/vaporflow/128108-cisco-lr-306-user-guide.html

    Why did you choose your e-cig

    It owned seven different PVs (E9, eGo, Chuck, Buzz, Tekk Mod, 3.7v box mod, and Saber Touch) before I decided on the criteria that meets my needs. My criteria for the perfect PV was as follows: Has 510 connector Has juice feeder system Has a locking switch Takes 18650 IMR batteries I...

    Who makes the best L.R. Atty?

    Hmm, really? All of the Cisco 1.5's I've purchased, probably around 15-20, have been marked. I've gotten all of mine from VaporFlow. I wonder if someone had been passing generics off as Cisco's. Either way, I'm sure now that Cisco is the only one selling them, we can be sure we're getting the...

    Who makes the best L.R. Atty?

    Cisco attys are marked with "Cisco" in very small writing around the hole by the threads.

    Who makes the best L.R. Atty?

    +1 Cisco 306 1.5's. They're not cheap, but they're worth it. No other atty I've tried can hold up to my dark cloudy daily vape. Fantastic TH and great flavor. Only downside is that they can get hot. I'm thinking about picking up one of the XL drip tips to help mitigate that the next time I...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    I said investors. You assumed VC firms. Of course I wouldn't take this type of business to a VC firm that's looking for millions in profits in the next few years. There are plenty of people with money looking to invest in something speculative that has the potential to yield large profits down...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    Actually, they are the one company that I see making the move to the status I'm talking about. I don't like the look of the ProVari or want VV so I didn't buy one of them. If the Prodigy used 18650 batteries or had an extender cap I probably would have bought one.

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    So anything that might be difficult shouldn't be tried? That's not how to run a successful business. FedEx's founder was told in business school that his idea of overnight delivery was terrible and would never work. I disagree. There are investors out there willing to take big risks for big...

    Bad Experience with Ecigs in first two day

    The previous posters have already covered it, but I'll add my two cents anyway. Try more flavors before giving up. I started with non-tobacco flavors and after two months and 40 or so different flavors, I finally found one I could vape all day and not get tired of after a few hours. Oddly...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    That's precisely how I'd rate the current state of the industry. That's why I'm posting this topic. These one or two people businesses have proven they have a sellable product and a market to purchase them. In my opinion, it's time to write a solid business plan, apply for a loan and/or find...

    Cisco LR 306 vs LR 510 (I wish I had known they use the same connector earlier!)

    Perhaps I was already biased because I tried Cisco's first, but I was not happy with the Joye 306's. I tried a few after Cisco stopped selling the 306's wholesale and before I was told I could still get them from Avid Vaper. I experienced performance on par with EM LR 510s. They're not worth the...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    I agree wholeheartedly with both of those comments. I also know how easy it can be to get an SBA loan to obtain working capital and do things right. :) I'd also say that the problems I've experienced haven't been due to hype, but more to a lack of QC or a poor order fulfillment process.

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    I'm not talking about service. As I stated previously, I think the service is outstanding. I'm talking about product quality. PVs are, in general, very simple devices. There's nothing about them that's ground breaking in terms of manufacturing and design. Switches, anodizing, electrical...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    How is that an answer? Every device I've purchased has been from a different manufacturer. Only after buying this many PVs has revealed that this may be a larger pattern within the industry. This is pretty standard consumer fair. For example, two of the first three cars I've owned were American...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    You've got over 1800 posts here. You know full well that people here classify the PVs I linked as "mods". You may also know that the term high voltage vaping is a misnomer and the correct term is high wattage vaping. It's still a common term that has meaning to the masses so we use it because of...

    It's time for the e-cigarette industry to grow up.

    By mods, I'm talking about non-Chinese mass manufactured PVs (eg. eGo, 510). In fact, the only non-Chinese mass manufactured PV I've purchased that came as expected was a Tekk mod. (ie. something that was built for another purpose and modified to be a PV) Unfortunately, I fried that one myself...

    Cisco LR 306 vs LR 510 (I wish I had known they use the same connector earlier!)

    That's the key here. Cisco's require a slightly different vaping style. I use the 1.5s and I've adapted to not vaping so rapidly. My wife uses standard 2.5s and when I let her use my PV she often hands it back to me with a scorching drip tip. You've got to take shorter draws or let them cool a...

    I was kicked out of Tobacco Summit for mentioning Harm Reduction!

    Congratulations on your success with sobriety. I'm not necessarily talking about only people in an early stage of addiction. In fact, I'm more referring to people with full blown addiction. HR programs are especially effective with people in the contemplation stage of the stages of change...

    A mod is welcome to move it if they feel it's appropriate to do so. In the meantime, I was being safe rather than sorry.
