Cisco 306 - need help with a couple issues

[BlackMetalBuick]

1) I forget on which vendor's site I saw this, but the item page for the 306 featured a warning to "not use it with a 510 passthrough". The wording is a little vague and I'm not going to attempt anything until I get a better idea. Does "510" passthrough mean a PT meant for a basic skinny 510, or are they using the general classification wherein eGos and Infernos are still technically 510s? Basically what I'm asking: 650mAh Inferno passthrough battery with LR 306, plugged into passthrough. Safe or no?

2) Having trouble finding a sweet spot drip wise. If I put it enough drops (3 good ones) to get really amazing flavor, it always comes oozing out by the battery. If I keep it a little more dry, enough that it doesn't leak, I'm already getting a taste of the atomizer. So I'm stuck either constantly cleaning up leaks, or getting nasty hits.

I de-wicked mine because it was starting to burn. Also it seems like I only get the best result if I remove the drip tip, and drip directly onto and under the bridge, but this is a hassle. Dripping through the tip, seems like not enough of the fluid is getting where it needs to be, although the bridge is still there to guide it in. Should I risk de-bridging a 306? Was not thrilled with the results of gutting a Magma atty, liked it better stock.

Otherwise, so far the hype is true. Brings flavors to life, tons of vapor.

#1. My understanding is that PT's that have a battery feed the atty with 3.7v, but the one's w/o a battery would be classed as high voltage( up to 5v) because there is potentially 5v supplied by the USB port. So you wouldn't want to use ANY LR atty on a batteryless PT. Even a reg. resistance atty wouldn't last as long at 5v. For the battery type, though there is an internal regulator that keeps a constant voltage to the atty thruout the charge. Let me say though, this is only speculation based upon the construction of a 510 or ego type battery.

#2. It seems there is a problem with your 306 drip tip, maybe? Is it cracking at the bottom? You may want to try a different kind of tip too; a cannon perhaps, or a nhaler 306 tip. In any event, you should not be getting leakage.

I dewicked one LR306 so far. I can't imagine trying to debridge one...I was successful on only one 510 out of three tries...no more of that for me.

I debridge 510 atty's to drip but not 306's. You can use a regular 306 on a 5v PT but not a LR306. LR's are meant to be used on 3.7v batteries to imitate 5v vaping. They put off tons of heat and can damage your batteries and drip tips rather quickly.

New 306 - drip 6 drops. Vape once. Drip 2-3 more drops. Vape on.

You need a new drip tip. 306's put off more heat and warp the tips. If it's leaking out the airholes on the bottom of the atty...back off dripping so much. You're flooding it. If this is what is happening, remove it from the battery, blow through it on the battery connection end into a papertowel. Put it back on, drip 3 drops and try again.

like hairball you gotta prime them and as long as thats done my 306's work great dont de bridge becuase its not as simple as debridging a 510

Yeah I followed a 306 "Starter's guide" to do all the priming and stuff when I first got it.

The drip tip fits snugly and hasn't cracked yet. The leaks are coming out the holes by the battery. I know I'm flooding it, but like I said, I only get good flavor when I drip that much in, run it any drier than that and I can already taste burning. I'll keep experimenting with it tonight though. Thanks for the advice.

Also as far as the passthrough, I've found some conflicting opinions when I research. In the case of the Inferno PT batteries, the passthrough doesn't directly power your atomizer, the PT just recharges whatever amount of battery power you've used as soon as you take your hit and set it back down. So it's always your 3.7v battery powering the atomizer, being plugged in doesn't really change the source or the amount of power.
