Hey guys, what's up with ya'll?
Hey Whiskey, I went and checked out the iKenVape LR atty's and it looks great
They're $1 cheaper than the Cisco's and though they do come primered they're primered with flavorless PG juice so no foul there.
Don - at the moment, since I am really only a little over one month into vaping, I haven't experimented with very my types of resistance. Usually I am using a standard 2.8 Joye atty but I bought some off branders from one of my usual juice vendors and it's IMPOSSIBLE to get this freakin' primer off, SO NASTY! I've tried cleaning it, twice, with mouthwash. I've used a BUTTLOAD of juice to try and burn it out...still there. It's literally KILLING ME! So! I've decided to say @#$@ these atty's for now and use the one I have now (LAST ONE, besides the NeverGoingAwayPrimered one's) and use the other's as back-ups.
I've tried some LR 2.0ohm cartos, they sucked. I hate cartos, truly I do. They made my juice nasty, and you have to use SO MUCH juice and you have to keep it wet because it's LR... what a waste of juice, I hate it personally.
So, it's now time to experiment with some LR atty's, 2.0ohm should be just fine, any lower might be too hot for me? I dunno yet.
And that's all I've got (as if it wasn't enough! - shut up already Levitas! - YOU SHUT UP!) Okay, done arguing with myself

Oh really now? Checking it out.
Hey Don - do these atty's have the primer on it? *cringing*
EDIT: Actually, let me revert to my newbiness and ask, what's the difference between a 306? though it has 510 threading?
I went back and read it all, conversation picked up a little while I was in school (and the forum got straightened out,
)I want to try it out, for two reasons.
1. I want to support Don as much as possible to ensure my Malty Toffee will always be made
2. Though I want to try 2.0ohm, I can't help but to find myself curious about lower resistance atty's
I am not a big 'straight' tobacco fan, else I'd try some of your signature blend Whis,
Edit: Oh! Thank you Phorbin & Rosco!

I use the 2.0 ohm cisco's. The 1.5s ran hotter than I cared for @ 3.7v...and seemed to kill a bit of the flavor. Cisco recently started selling a 1.8ohm also. the heat is good but they always taste sorta dry to me..even when I go out of my way to flood them. Not sure why that is. So far the 2.0 has been my favorite. I think i'm going to try some of the Ikenvape 3.5ohm HV 306s just to see how a 306 holds up at high voltage.
I'm quite sure they are, but I haven't had occasion to do business with him yet. When I first got into the 306s i wanted to try his but he was out of stock at the time, and I've had such amazing success with Cisco's that I never got back to him.
See, I don't know what to do now. Of course, make my own decision, I know. But, Phorbin here, among many of my other BWB crew brethren, I've come to respect your guy's judgement on what's good and isn't (It got me to BWB afterall, right?) So, should I stick with my original plan of trying out some 2.0ohm? I'd try them all at once, but I have to conserve a little bit on spending for the time being.
As it is, I am probably going to just shoot for the iKenVape 2.0's for now and eventually try some ciscos (depending on how satisfied I am with iken's). With Don's 306's, I am sure to pick one up on my next juice order. Knowing my vaping habits, it'll be pretty soon, lol!
well as you probably saw in the post right above that one Levi, I haven't tried Ikens yet, so I really can't say for sure. I do know that they get pretty rave reviews...this much I can say for sure, trying any 306 will probably change the way you vape for good. 306s in general are just that good in my (not so??) humble opinion. The ohms you should try is ultimately up to you though. Do you like a warmer vape? if you're using the "normal" joye 510s then any of them will feel warmer by comparison. Maybe try the 2.0s first and if its not warm enough for you then give the 1.5s a shot. And don't forget to get a couple 306 drip tips, if you haven't used 306s yet, you probably don't have a drip tip that will work with them. your 510 stuff won't work without serious modification.
btw: i'm blushing....someone out there is actually listening to what i have to say!!!! LOL
Excellent advice! See, exactly what I need. A voice of reason. I WILL try the 2.0's first. I'm gonna swing by the site and see what the 306's/ driptips run.
I listen to everyone with more experience than myself in any situation (and in this one, pretty much nearly everyone, lol.) But! I only really fully take into consideration the advice when prior advice steer'd me into a good path or fortune. In this case, the fortune was BWB, so yes Phorbin, I definitely listen to you, lol.
so would this be a bad time to recap Ohms Law? for those of you who do like technical stuff its like this:
volts*volts/ohms=watts
most people have a sweet spot in the 8.5-9.5 watts range.
with a 2.0 ohm atty:
4.3v*4.3v=18.49; 18.49/2.0ohms=9.245 watts
4.1v*4.1v=16.81; 16.81/2.0ohms=8.405 watts
with a 1.5ohm atty:
3.7v*3.7v=13.69; 13.69/1.5ohms=9.126 watts
so....the first thing you need to know is what voltage your PV runs at, from there its a pretty simple formula to figure out what range of attys you should use on that device. A variable voltage device (like a pro-vari, or a VV monkeyboxx) can work with most any atomizer.
The reason the Darwin is going to be a success is because you tell the Darwin what you want for wattage, and it does the math for you.
OK raise your hand if i totally lost you on that stuff.

one thing to remember on the lower ohms, say from 2.0 to 1.8 to 1.5, is that the device you use has a significant effect as well. each device carries its own resistance.
ie, using 1.5 ohm on the reo grand and its perfection (for me). put that same atty/batt into a silver bullet and its much too hot, as the SB has less resistance in the unit itself than the grand does.
