I ordered a couple, and at the same time ordered my first couple of Cisco 306s while I was at it. I find that the 306 is a better experience, but it's entirely possible I'm doing something wrong... Maybe oversquonking, but I pretty constantly get a hot spatter through the drip tip. The same squonk works well on the 306.

What drip tips are you guys using? I find that sometimes that can make a difference with the spatter...

I just had a pawn on mine. I don't think I got any splattering, spitting, or juice in my mouth the whole two months I had mine.

They also have a longer 357 you might like - it provides some space for that splattering and maybe even a cooler vape.
I use 510 Drip Trips - Delrin, Cherry Vapes Pawn and Ming, and even the shorty and the aluminum dts because I like warm vapor :thumbs:

3 weeks does seem a little short. Did you clean them regularly (I tend to give them a 1hour alcohol bath and a drip-through with alcohol every 2 days at least). Mine have all lasted longer than 2 months (I lost the one that I had been using the longest).

I lost my first one right at 3 months. I have three going right now (on three different REOs) and they're all going strong already past the two month mark. (Knock on wood! Now I've probably jinxed at least one of them!!) I'm really loving these. I had a little spitting on the short barrel I had (gave it to a friend to try) but haven't had a problem with the 1.5 long barrels. Just ordered a couple more...thanks for the heads up.

I'm so sorry to hear that some HH357s are not lasting as long as expected :( I have been lucky as the first I bought in August is still going strong. Out of six that I have purchased, so far I have only had an issue with one - which was returned for repair.

The pamphlet that arrives with the HH357 recommends weekly cleaning and I cleaned mine religiously at first. Then past the 4 month mark, I got a little lax about it figuring if it still tastes good there was no need. I've since cleaned it and put it away because I started using the green HH357 in December -- I've got a month on this one.

I'm thinking I better start cleaning them religiously again hoping that will increase longevity :)

The above won't mean much to you but believe me when I say that with all my orders from Avid....the deliveries to my house have taken many different screwy routes and can't always be blamed on USPS. Its as if they are all be shipped from different locations.

My 357s lasted about 1 week. I bought 3 of them for almost 60 bucks.. All went blewy with 2 weeks or less.

I switched to the I06 from Ikenvape and they have lasted many times longer and are awesome in performance.

I also love Ikens LR 510s. Great attys at reasonable prices and they last and dont spit at you :)
