306 vs. 510 vs. 901 attys. Besides fittings, what's the difference?

[Horselady154]

I have seen some people rave about 306s and others rave about 901s. Since I imagine most of us have devices with 510 connections, there must be some reason why people are willing to get an adapter so that they can use these. So guys, help an atty noob understand, please. What's the difference between these?

Thanks.

306 and 510 share the same connection. The 306 is an open bridge design; the drip tip fits over the atomizer instead of inside of it like the 510/901. It has a warmer vape than the others and usually a bit more throat hit.

Haven't used the 510 enough to compare it to the 901, but a 901 provides extremely good flavor.

I can't speak for 306 and 901 atomizers but I'll I know is the 510 has a good throat hit and produces and vapor. I have seen many video reviews of people who tried both 901 and 510 atomizers and said the 901 was alittle less in throat hit compared to the 510.

People say that the 901 has more flavor but less TH than the 306/510 and, I have never used a 901 but, my guess is that is just because the 901 is vaping at less wattage, because that is what they generally say about less wattage on the 306/510. In other words, if you want more flavor (but settle for less TH) on a 306/510 then just try a higher resistance atty or, try less voltage on your VV battery.

But, again, have never used a 901 so this is just a guess.

As far as the 306 and 510, the 306 has an open bridge while the 510 has a closed bridge. What this means is the tube that covers the atty is part of the mouthpiece/drip tip on the 306 while on the 510 it is part of the atty. This is an advantage for the 306 re cleaning as you can see what is going on with the coil on the 306 while on the 510 you can't.

(The I06 atty from Ikenvape is a 510 sized atty that is open bridged. 510 sized but open bridge like the 306.)

The 306 is cigarette sized like many of the low MAH batteries they sell in cigaratte stores (like BLU, etc), while the 510 is a bit bigger. The atties and other accessories from both work on each other as well as on Ego batteries.

The big advantage of the 510, is that there is more stuff out there for the 510. More types of cartos, clearos and the like... and a LOT more drip tips.

I go with the 306 but others go with the 510 (or 901). Different people prefer different things, so there is no one best choice it is just a matter of what is right for you.

Hey, I'm not sure where to post this, but I need some help. I've used hh357s for a long time as well as rebuildables and am an experienced vaper. I'm loving the amp tank, it works awesome. But, I ordered a Cisco 306 just to try it. I put a lot of juice in it, to point I can feel resistance in the beginning of the pull cuz there is juice down there. My problem is, I'm getting that sort of nasty bogegate/metal/smoktech/plastic taste. I don't know if it was from the first few vapes, but it is certainly not dry now. Thanks Guys

Did you order a bridged cisco 306 or one with the bridge removed? Also, what ohms is it at and what voltage are you vaping at?

If it is one with a wick you need to prime them more... because the wick will absorb some of the juice. If this is the case, probably you need to add some more drops. Typically, you need to add 7-10 drops to prime an atty that has a wick... maybe 5-7 for atties without a wick.

I've dripped all three. 306 takes few drips. I end up using it for DIY because I like to use pretty drip tips plus the drip tip covers the atty or partially anyway and sometimes goes slippery to come off from juice getting in between atty and wall of covering drip tip. You can really see it like the previous poster said. Seeing is believing and yes1 or 2 drips is plenty. 510 by joyetech is more forgiving and I like it a lot. More drips and drip tips pretty up things nicely. I bought a 901 from nHaler. At first it tastes off so you drip and vape thru that. It is true. Flavor comes through better on 901. It takes fewer drips than 510 and more than 306. I like all three! 510 is the Leastlikely to give me a burned flavor hit without a little warning but I'm more used to 510 too so...I think I'm liking the 901 a little better because flavor is important to me but I can't use my drip tips with it!

Or maybe I can....mine came with its own tip firmly attached, it can't be removed. Anyone know?

I think you are asking in response to me? I'm on a two ohm with bridge and wick. I have never vaped a bridge and wanted to try it. My hh357 is rocking at thirteen watts for months working well. I got my 306 at like 4.5 volts for now, which is a little low. I think I dripped to few drops because I read everyone taking about how they don't hold much juice. I ran it through water then a little ever clear, then water, the blew it out then dripped and vaped, it seems to be much better now. I didn't get a derided because I'm just doing this for fun and want it to hold juice well. I may ever stick a cart on it, haha, not really. When I sucked on the atty before dripping, after cleaning, it tasted like wet cardboard, but seems better while vaping. Can these take high voltage like the hh357? Thanks for the help.

So now it's real wet but tastes dry.
EDIT: Scratch that, tastes like wet cardboard.

I was using regular 510 bridged atties for a while and when I got some new cisco lr bridgless 306, I got a little bit of a metal harsh taste, I'm stilling using that same atty and it went away for me. I'm not sure if it was just a fresh coil or what, but I just attributed it to needing a break in time.

You could try giving it a nice cleaning with some alcohol or distilled water, I don't like letting them air dry after using water. I'm scared of them potentially rusting. I blow all the water out and run some vg through it afterwards.
