I used to use SLB LR 901 atties, and I recently bought a Cisco 1.5 ohm LR 901. Here's my warning:

THEY ARE FRAGILE!

With the SLB LR 901's, I was able to wash them with water, blow into them to clear the hot water, and tap the button for a very quick dry burn. The Cisco LR 901 I have, on the other hand, started shorting out after its first cleaning. The center post in the middle of the threads came loose. I managed to get it working again after fiddling with it, but just keep in mind, if you are going to buy a Cisco LR 901, be gentle with it. Don't blow into it like a straw to clear any liquid or water because the center post will come loose and cause a short. I get the feeling this atty won't last nearly as long as my SLB's did (they lasted 3 months). For the extra few bucks I spent on this atty, I expected it to be a little more sturdy.

The 1.5 ohms makes for an awesome vape (feels more like a 5v vape than the SLB's did), but apparently longevity wasn't part of the Cisco design specifications.

I recently bought a Cisco LR 306 from VaporFlow as well (where I got my Cisco LR 901), but it hasn't arrived yet. I'll be a little easier on it than I was with my LR 901, but still, I can't help but feel that I have to be too gentle with the 901 in order to keep it going. I LOVE the flavor it produces, so I hope the LR 306 can do just as well.

You won't get the flavor you are looking for from a Cisco 306, in my experience. It WILL give you superior throat hit and plenty of vapor. I find the Cisco 510 to be much better at producing flavor.

A bit off topic: I received my first Cisco LR 306s yesterday and I was VERY impressed with the flavor, more than anything else (guess I'll have to try the Cisco LR 510s now).
However, I am not using the 306's tonight, and will set them aside until I can find a solution to the leaking.

You should really try the Cisco LR 901, the flavor is better than anything I've tried (801's, 510's, 306's, all in standard resistance with either 3.7 or 5v, and LR versions). I've yet to find an atty that gives better flavor.

My cisco Lr 306 worked like a beast for two and a half week's I blew it out but never got a feeling that I needed to wash it out. It in no way showed sign of gunking up, and in fact hit like I just unwrapped it till the day it went. But now I have also had the same joye Lr 306 got this from litecigusa almost a month and still runn's like a beast.

Just my Opinion but even with his design..... It seem's to be a hit or miss. I think I am just gonna stick with the Joye product although I will be trying out the cisco lr 510 and 901. I can't stand any of the Lr 510's out there so hopefully somthing will work out

I noticed the flavor was great too. I wasn't expecting it, as I had read the 306s killed the flavor a big. As far as leaking goes, for the 1st day or day and a half with my new cisco lr 306, it was leaking like crazy. at first i thought it was just because i couldn't get a handle on how often drip...this things definitely hold less AND use more juice than a joye lr510 (haven't tried the ciscos...should be one in my mailbox today. but, after giving the atty some good use, i've noticed that it has stopped leaking excessively. It seems to hold a bit more juice and just function more smoothly now that it's been broken in.

here's a great quick read for those new to the cisco's: LR 306 User Guide
