Cisco 306 LR - first try, need help

[rexet]

Hi guys,

I started vaping 3 weeks ago only and I wanted to try the "dry" experience.
Following some advices I bought a Cisco 306 LR 1.8ohm and a Siam mods drip shield to go with it.

I have some question regarding how to use it.

Here is some instruction I read on the AvidVaper website that I don't understand:

These atomizers are not designed to be run on standard (cigarette sized) batteries and are known to significantly reduce the lifespan of eGo | Riva style batteries.

How is it possible that using the Cisco 306 LR on a eGo can reduce its lifespan? I can run clearomizers with 1.8ohm coils without any issue but I can't do the same with the Cisco?
I currently use it on my Vamo v2 but I wish I could screw it on my eGo 650mah or my Twist 650mah.

Do not use these atomisers on power sources greater than 3.7v.

Why that? It is only 7.6W. My sweetspot is more like 9W. I can't push the Vamo above 3.7V with the Cisco or I misunderstood this?

Last question: what is a "bridge" and what is the purpose of that?
I bought my Cisco here: Cisco LR 306 Atomiser - 1.5 / 1.8 / 2 / 2.5 Ohm - Low Resistance Atomisers - Atomisers
Is it a bridgless version? If not, should I unbridge it since I read people saying it will better perform without the bridge?

Thank you for helping me in my first step in the dry world

It won't hurt it, don't worry about it. It's bridged, it'll hit fine but gunk up after awhile so you can either unbridge it or just buy a bridgeless (what I use to drip). I bought a couple bridged atties when I was starting, they're OK but the bridgeless are much better for dripping - more pure, just a cup and a coil - nothing else to interfere w/ flavor.

Thank you darkhood for your kind advice ! So I should not worry about using it on my eGos ? Good to know.
I heard the bridgless are more complex to handle the drop refill? I guess I should get used with the bridge before.

I think it's just a precautionary warning due to the high amp draw you get with using low res anything on a 3.7V device. Genuine Joyetech eGo batteries are regulated at 3.3V and you can set the Twist to whatever voltage you like, so it's a bit of a non-issue really. Higher amps will mean less vape time between charges and reduce the overall useable life of the battery, though - whether you're using a low res Cisco atty or a low res head on a Vivi Nova. That's the trade-off.

I currently use it on my Vamo v2 but I wish I could screw it on my eGo 650mah or my Twist 650mah.

I often use a 2 ohm 306 on my Twist. I like high wattages, but I find that the 1.8 ohm can be a bit harsh at any given setting above 3.8V on the Twist. 306s seem to burn much hotter than 510s. YMMV.

Why that? It is only 7.6W. My sweetspot is more like 9W. I can't push the Vamo above 3.7V with the Cisco or I misunderstood this?

Again, I think the warning about using anything other than 3.7V power source refers to unregulated non-VV devices. It's not something you need to worry about - it's just a case of the vendor covering their behind.

I like the LR 306s, but I did toast an Ego battery using one and tripped the protection circuit on 2 different 18650s using that same one, as well. No issues using it on the Vamo at all.

The 306s are awesome for sampling juices as they seem [to me] to transition well between flavours.

jSquared > that makes sense, thank you!

indianajames > what do you mean by "toast ego"? I'm kind of paranoid about batteries that could explode or hurt me in any way.

I've been using a 1.8ohm 306 on my riva (ego) for close to 6 months now w/ no issues.

Bridgeless are very easy to drip w/ - they just take less juice since there's no bridge to soak it up, it all sits in the cup so all u have to do is put 1-2 drops in, take 2-3 hits and repeat.

It didn't blow up or anything. Whatever happened, the battery just quit working. Forever.

Good to know! Thank you for your feedback!

New question

I decided to put a paper tissue in the drip shield (Siam Mods 306) to clean in a bit and the tissue came out with a lot of black dirt on it. It looked like I sweep a old chimney ! What the hell is that? It doesn't look healthy at all.

 

[rexet]

Any idea ?

Here is what I am talking about.
I clean the drip shield. I take a dozen of drags and then put a white new tissue in the drip shield and here is how it comes out:

So much dirt in few drags? Is this normal?
