I found the $20 deal for the 2 LR306 attys with drip tip by google.com searching. I thought it was an excellent deal and for all intensive purposes, it was; hwr, I have had a major problem. It arrived today and I began to use it around 3:45pm. It was great. The vapor plumes were nice and the taste of the e-liquid came through cleaner than I believed was possible; however, I had a snag that screamed the words, "Houston, we have a problem."
I was using the 306 set off and on from 3:45 to around 9pm but rather intermittently. I am fighting off a cold so I have been taking cold and flu medicine, which makes me drowsy and even sleepy. I have always had a habit of removing the atomizer and cartridges from the e-cigs I use even from the first one I owned (Janty Dura-c). It is a habit I kept over time even as I moved up to various different models. For me, it is a way to ensure the liquid drains from the atomizers and it separates that cartridges from the atty. In the last few months since I found dripping, I still remove the atomizer and the drip tip, place them on a clean paper towel so they can drain and if necessary, cool a bit b/c I can't afford to replace them constantly.
It seems the heat from vaping caused the thin plastic material to create a bubble in it. The atty still works like gangbusters. The 2nd atty is in the pack unused. The change in flavor didn't occur until just short of the time I found the bubble and noticed the plastic around the bubble was softer than it was initially when I first opened the pack after it arrived in the mailbox. I can't use either of the 306 attys.
Is there a drip tip that is more like the 510 drip tip I use? it is heavier, thicker, more dense, and appears to be made from a metal material although it never gets too hot for me to use it even though it feels as if it is metal.?
Does Vaporflow offer a better drip tip to replace this tip that come w/ the $20 set? If not, I can't use the 306 attys until I find something better that can withstand mild vaping without causing bubble raises or softening of the material from gentle to moderate use?
The LR306 atomizers do a great job. They produce excellent vapor; the flavor of the e-liquid is cleaner than I've noticed in a long time. It won't work well without a decent drip tip and/or cartridge. The drip tips are more convenient for me. The drip tip is the only part of this order I have issues with as the attys perform their job more than adequately.
