Advice needed for choosing LR attys

[shanewarne]

Been going thru several discussions abt using LR atty on my Riva 510. Not able to come to conclusion. Please advise whether to go for cisco LR306 or for Eastmall LR 510. EM seems to have better price on these attys $3.95/pc. Please share ur experiences.

I think you might find everyone has a different opinion even on this kind of 'small' subject area. They are cheap enough that you can buy a couple from several vendors and decide which you like. The thing is, you need plenty of spares, so any atty you buy anywhere is going to be useful. Right now I'm getting liberty flights single LR atties (not multipack) as they work well on my kit, have no primer and are shipped dry, good airway clearance therefore a very easy draw, wide bridge with a lot of metal for a 510 atty, they last well, not cheap but I prefer quality over price. Some people might prefer a tighter draw like the totally wicked ones. But next month I might get another brand, that's the way it goes. And you just can't have enough atties.

If you drip, then atties that don't leak too much will be better for you, but I can't help you there. Try a few and judge for yourself. There are so many variations possible in just something like a 510 atty that only you can decide, someone else will have a different opinion.

What rolygate said!

Also, bear in mind the EastMall is based in China, with high shipping costs. If you are buying in bulk, it's worth it. Otherwise, higher prices from a U.S. supplier would turn out to be less expensive overall. For example, Vapor Junction sells those EastMall LR510 atomizers for $6.95 with $5.65 USPS Priority shipping. Compare that to EastMall's $3.95 price plus $17 shipping (which also takes longer to arrive, of course).

And U.S. supplier websites like Vapor Junction have the additional advantage of being filled with familiar Americanisms like: "this little puppy simply rocks." You won't see that on the EastMall site.
