avidvaper vs ikenvape atomizers

[oclafcire]

I guess you could call these the "designer" or "brand name" atomizers out there. They'll cost ya a little more, but many claim they more than give you their money's worth in terms of performance and longevity (I am one of them).

I've only used the avidvaper (Cisco) LR 306 1.5 ohm & LR 901 1.8 ohm. I love them both. I'm curious if anyone out there appreciates the brand name atomizers as much as I do, and if anyone has tried more of them! I'd love to know more about the ikenvape line. How do they compare to avidvaper? Is there any one style of atty in which either vendor specializes? In particular, who makes the better LR 901? So... opinions? reviews? Thanks, all!

Just my opinion of course but the Ikens are superior and much smoother of a vape than the cisco's, others will disagree im sure of but I have ran them both and to me its a no brainer.

I don't use the 306, but the IKV 510 is better than the cisco 510 IMO

Im the the other side of coin. Cisco out last Ikv more times to a point I nolonger buy them anymore. Still #1 & 2 best attys you can buy.

its a rare dat i disagree with unser.... that being said.. the avids don't last as long as ikens=for me....
i haven't had a single iken last me less than month of heavy use = 6 mil a day
i don't clean them i use and abuse them.. if i tried to im sure i could get double that out of Issac's attys...

the cisco's just don't hold up to the abuse I put them through.. there good. but i haven't found any atty better than iken 2.0 =306/510 or the 801s for my vaping needs..... i love them all....

There are a lot of variables which go into the formula to determine how long an atomizer will last. Cisco & Ikenvape are both high quality & you can't go wrong with either of them IMO.

Haven't tried the ikenvape's, but if they're smoother than the Cisco 306 1.5's, I don't think I'd want to. The monster throat hit is one of the things I love about the Cisco's.

I like both suppliers - Issac really a stand up guy. My experience is that the ciscos are lasting longer - averaging 3 months+ on the cisco 306lr. I had a 510 lr from ikenvape that lasted a day but that was unusual - 2 months on the others - mainly 510 but I prefer the 306, and oddly haven't had that good of experience with the Joye 510 LRs - 2 months tops and many went much quicker. Expected more. The Joye mega eGo LRs are better than the standard 510, imo. All of the 'no bridge' models from various places went real fast - won't be buying any more of those.

I love bring ujp old threads but with the those of us in both camps I recently heard both Cisco & Iken are made from the same company...which if you think about it makes sense considering our passion and strong opinions for each.

I love IKV attys especially the LR 306. But I did order 2 Cisco 1.5 306s at the recommendation of a friend just to see if they fit my tastes better. So I'll know more in about 2 days and get back with you all.

I have 2 GLV-2 mini sitting in front of me... one with an avidvaper and the other an ikenvape 901. Same juice, same batteries... 9 times out of 10 I grab for the Cisco/Avid loaded one. If Avid was out of stock and I was in dire need, I wouldn't hesitate to order another ikv... but until then, Cisco will be getting my business. Vapes a little stronger but not harsher, pulls a little lighter yet still the stiffness I like and have yet to pop one... though I replace them every 4 to 6 weeks

I have had 2 Cisco and 1 IKV atties die on me in less than two weeks. The one from IKV only lasted like 4 days and the ones from Cisco a week or so. Don't know how to explain it but they do perform better than something like Bauway. Which was good until the second day where I got the infamous burnt taste.

If I had to make the choice than I would choose Avid since they deliver a better hit than IKV atties.
