306 Atty: Cisco or IO6

[Rttch]

I'm looking to get an atty for occasional use at vape meets and to try new liquids. I vape on a non-kicked Silver Bullet at 3.7 volts (usually with a carto and tank setup). I can only vape 100% vg due to a pg sensitivity.

For the best flavour and throat hit (don't care about vapor and don't need it with vg), which one do you recommend?

Cisco Low Res Atomizer - 306 (1.8 ohms)

or

IKV IO6 Atomizer - 306 (1.8 ohms)

I'm not an experienced dripper and am interested in these two atties based on previous recommendations. Also, I can purchase both of these in Canada which is a must for me. The IO6 is a bit cheaper with drip tip purchase than the Cisco, but both are under $20 with shipping included.

So, which one would be best for a new dripper for great flavour and throat hit?

If its a non-kicked SB, and all VG, you won't be getting much throat hit at all, unless you use a fairly high nic level. Or at least I don't get any TH from VG. But at 3.7v, 1.8ohms is too high for me, gotta be 1.5ohm. 1.8 ohm might be good for others, we will see what everyone else has to say, but IMO 1.8 is too high on 3.7. Actually, it would be ok on a fully charged battery (~4.2v), but after that no good, but again that is my preference.

The i06 requires special drip tips, cisco will work with most all 306 tips, the 306DCA, etc.

I've used both, they both work good, but I don't like how the i06 needs its own special tips.

This is meant to be used at vape meets, which means the nic strength will vary. I am currently vaping at 18mg, but am hoping to drop down to 15mg or 12mg soon.

I already calculated the cost of getting a drip tip because I don't have one anyway to fit a 306.

The i06 provides better flavor.

Primarily, I use hh.357s, i06's, and cisco 306's. In fact, the three mods on my desk right this minute are equipped one with each of those attys. Also, I primarily vape VG juices (I have a minor sensitivity to PG - I can vape it occasionally, but I largely avoid it except when I really get a craving for some of the BWB juices).

I can't find anything negative to say about the i06. The nitpickiest thing I can find is that they take a couple of ml to fully break in whereas a cisco 306 is generally putting out as much vapor as it's going to almost immediately. -- The i06 on my REO VVW has been on there for over two months and has consumed roughly an average of 2.5 ml per day (my VVW isn't my primary PV, but I use it a lot). ---- They last a long time - the flavor is second only to the hh.357 - I think they are reasonably priced - they generate just as much vapor as a 306 - They're just plain good.

Hmm.

Every io6 I've had has been leaky...very leaky. They do hit pretty nicely, and provide good flavor too. I just don't think they're the "absolute best" out there.

I remember getting some awesome vapor and flavor out of Clouds of Vapor's Dual Coil atomizer.


....it's MIA at the moment, so I'm pretty depressed

I have a cisco 306, and I freaking love it. Can't compare it to a IO, but I can say the cisco is good.
