I'll admit, I'm hard on attys, people say they vape a lot, but honestly just like with regular smokes, I think I out do 99% of the people out there. I was a 5 pack a day smoker, I'm a 1oz every 5 days vaper.
I tend to go through standard 2.2ohm attys at 4.3-4.5 volts depending on my juice every 2-7 days at the longest. I direct drip, and I'm pretty much a VG guy through and through. 5 days seems to be about the point they start to drop for the norm, sometimes I simply change sometimes I push it to the end.
I ordered the HH357 at 2.5ohm, and when i got it, i set my Provari to 4.5 expecting to need to increase it slightly using my day to day Red Oak Tennessee Cured juice from Johnson Creek Smoke Juice.
I will say just like everyone else, out of the box it was a good vape, good vapor production, decent throat hit. So I was fairly excited to hit the magical "break in" period that everyone here speaks of. Well unfortunately, day 2 of use the atty started reading 2.0 ohm in resistance, dropped it to 4.3 volts, and several hours later it died.
Now I'm not upset about 25 bucks lost, as I did chose the HH357 and told him 100% VG Juice just to be absolutely sure it would work. I have opened a ticket with Avid questioning if I did anything wrong, or if it's possible there's a defect in the product, I may even order 1 more based upon the response of the customer service team, but unfortunately at this point I would not recommend this product nor will I likely be purchasing them in place of standard Joye 510 2.2 ohm attys simply because even if I go through an atty every 3 days @ 5 bucks (buy in bulk of 30 at a time for the price), it's just cost effective.
I was hoping simply to get 6 weeks out of the hh357's and they would have been the atty of choice for me
