306 drip tip problems

[shaggychip]

K so i just ordered a :
LR306 Atty http://www.vaporflow.com/products/Lo...-Atomizer.html
And a 306 Driptip http://www.vaporflow.com/products/30...-Drip-Tip.html
For my new phidias but the drip tip does not fit on the end of the atty?? the ends are the same size..
I tried another drip tip i got for my ego and it doesnt fit on the 306 atty either...
Am i missing something? Im really confused :/
Can i use them without the driptip on the phidias?

Also should i not use this 306 atty on my ego? I heard something about not doing that...?
Thanks!

There's nothing wrong with using a 306 atty on an eGo, unless they're 1.7 ohms or lower then there is the potential to cause the circuit board in your battery to overload.

As far as why the drip tip doesn't fit, they're often very tight from what I've read. There was a thread about this a few months ago where someone was saying they couldn't get the drip tip off a dead atty because it was so tight. I don't know how you'd get it on there if you want to try it other than putting the plastic drip tip in boiling water to hopefully soften it enough to stretch a bit. I don't know if that would work, it's just an idea.

Sounds like the atomizer might be out of round. I would contact the vendor supplying your product to ask for advice, they may have shipped a wrong part to you. If they are the same size they will never go together of course.

Mine is very tight - I can push it about 1/4 inch onto the 306 atty. Not very attractive but at least it is tight and no juice leaks. I'm using a standard resistance 306 atty on a 510 and I think (not sure) I got my 306 drip tip (clear colored plastic) at LiteCigUSA.net and I know I got the atty there.

Well its not just tight, the 306 attys are definitely smaller than the 510s...
The 306 will fit inside of the 510.. the 306 driptips fit really snug and nice inside the 510 attys though?
Im gonna email them in a sec and see what they say..
Are different attys normally not the same sizes?

Im an idiot, I emailed the supplier and he told me to screw it into the pv and then pull the cover off to expose the atty...
I guess i was just used to the 510s where they come already exposed :/
Thanks for the help

Try Avid attys 306 specials..they come with DTs or just get one of these 306 to 510 Drip Tip Adapter - Avid Vaper

Haha, that's funny. Funny that us "experts" didn't think of it.

I made the same mistake with my first 306 atty. I felt like a ditz, and I'm not even blonde.
sorry if I offended anyone. I love the 306's now. But it is nice to learn that I am not the only one who could not figure it out.

To be more clear - I am using a 306 clear colored plastic drip-tip on a 306 std resistance atty I got at LiteCigUSA.net. I can stick it on (i.e. OVER the atty) about 3/16 or 1/4 inch fairly easily. I have not tried to force it on further because I would be unable to get it off (I am not very strong at pulling) so I actually do not know if it could be forced on all the way. It doesn't look good where it is but it works and I actually appreciate having my lips a bit further from the sizzling juice.


Oh shaggy - hahahaha

Yeah - 306 attys are sweet tiny little things. I use my std res one with a 306 cart too - together the atty + cart look exactly like a standard Boge or SLB 510 carto. I like it - I put blue foam in the cart's little juice cup. It's sort of like having a long-life re-washable carto with low capacity. I use it for whatever new juice I am currently liking occasional drags of.

If the standard DT of a 306 is too short for you they do have XL that work fine. And btw Im amazed at all this talk about being too tight. I say that cause if anything I found some to be too loose. So loose that I had to squeeze extra hard on the base to unscrew the atty otherwise the DT would spin with not enough grip. Again, you have the 306 to 510 adapter you can buy so your favorite 510 DT can still be used.

My 306 drip tip had to go into the garbage because there was no way to get it off the dead atty. I tried for days with no luck at all. I tried again with a new Drip tip and a new atty and it was very very hard to get off again but it did come off and worked pretty good after it was loosened up a bit from wear.
