I'm using a LR AVA (bottom-feed version) on my new REO Grand and I like it,
but this is my first time really using an atomizer so I have nothing to compare it to unfortunately. I do actually have a sealed SR AVA and a SR HH.357 but I've only ever used them to drip with to try new juices. My favorite thing about the AVA is that I don't get
throat-searing dry hits if it gets too dry, which I feel makes it the perfect atomizer for me to learn on. Other than that I think
ukeman said it quite well in that other
thread - Great flavor but less vapor, and it's best to press the fire button as you're moving the REO up to your mouth as it takes a second or two to reach full temp.
