Can I LR Cisco 306 at 5 Volts?

[StarsAndBars]

The title says it all guys. I've got a Big Kazoo on the way and am wandering what it will do to some of my old LR Cisco 306 attys. If I go easy will it be ok? Or is it a 'no way, no how?'

That is almost 17 watts man. Most likely will fry that bad boy pretty quick. But if you have a few on their last leg what the hell it will be one good hit!

On devices such as the Provari, there is an amperage limiting circuit built into the device so it will shut down. On devices with no such limiters there's every chance that an LR will pop at voltages higher than 4-ish.

(the statement above is based on both theory and my own stupidity of mixing up my LR and standard attys --- POP!) LOL

No amp limiting on the Big Kazoo. That unit will blast 5V at whatever it sees. If you do it take a vid man and post. Happy vapes StarsAndBars

Grrrr. I've got a few I don't mind killing. Looks like I'd better order a few standard 306 attys. Thanks again guys.

i accidentally put a LR306 on my 5v wetbox and it just tasted wicked burnt and the juice just flash-fried. that was a pretty strong 306 tho.

I accidentally put an LR on my Roughstack @ 6v, not a pleasant experience. It burned the juice and tasted like that forever after. The immediate sizzling and popping alerted me to the problem before I killed it, but it was too late to save it.

Yeah, expect the Cisco to die almost immediately and consider yourself luck if you don't. As much as I love Ciscos, they can be pretty fragile with a sudden increase in voltage. I had one (which admittedly was a little on the dry side) pop and die when I moved it from a dying Riva battery to a charged one, and that was a 2.0 ohm.

One atomizer I strongly suggest you try on your BK is a standard resistance Joye 510 (roughly 2.3 ohm). The BK hits like a friggin' tank with that atomizer. Just keep it wet though as 2.3 is a bit on the low side for 5V so it may not last more than a few days if you vape it dry too much.
