Cisco LR 306 vs LR 510 (I wish I had known they use the same connector earlier!)

[Bootsand]

I've just received my first Cisco LR 306 attys in the mail today, having just learned of their very existence mere days ago. I've used in the past many brands of 510 atomizers, LR and regular, and given the similar look (internally) and same threading/battery on the 306 I was not expecting too great of difference.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

I find the 306 to be so difficult to describe. I've had atties that produce good vapor, weak vapor, hot vapor, mild and smooth vapor, but the 306 vapor is simply... different. Thicker and warmer, I suppose, and the nic rush hits like I've never experienced, and I mean that in a very good way.

I'm still in the break in period, so I don't know how this atty will perform in a day or so, but I can say immediately that I will never *not* have at least a couple of these attys on hand if I can help it.

The feeling I get while vaping these is, for lack of a better word, 'completely satisfied'. Typically I chain vape pretty much all day, but with these it's a few puffs and I set it down. I'm really kicking myself in the rear right now for my lack of descriptive skills, it's simply a very unique vape. It's a very rich true throat hit, not a throat burn.

...and I love it.

Pros: Unique vapor and a heavy hitter nic-wise, NO primer to burn through (make sure you follow instructions for the first use, Cisco has a post around here somewhere on that) transparant drip tip allows you to see how much liquid is on the atty (well, not for me as I ordered the Riva cone compatible one... *sigh*)

Cons: Cost, and probably won't be using for chain vaping like usual. Also, if you order the drip tip that fits a Riva/eGo cone, you can't make use of the transparent tips.

For all you Riva/eGo/510 mod users out there, I HIGHLY recommend these. I think it was 20 bucks for 2 attys and the drip tip shipped.

Nothing finer than a Cisco LR 306 1.5 - Must be a 1.5 IMO

Just got mine in the mail today and I'm loving them so far! Lets see how it goes a few days from now

Forgot to mention, the Cisco LR510 1.5 and LR901 1.5 are must haves also. There's juices out there that don't do well on his 306. Example - house extracted tobacco juices do much better on his 510's and 901's IMO

I am smitten with the Cisco LR306's and have been for almost a year! No other atty, carto has provided me the satisfaction that the LR306 has. Love them!

Do they do XL cartomizers that fit the ego. I have one from janty and am loving it as my out of house vape option.

I have heard so many rave reviews about cisco 306 attys that if they did an ego carto based one I'd snap it up right away!

They only have atomizers, not cartomizers.

This Avid Vaper deal is very good. That is what I just received and the shipping was fast, products are high quality and the price is right! You HAVE to have a drip tip to use the 306 on a 510 I believe, so this is the way to go. Those Cisco atties are amazing!

Thanks for the review. Just places an order. I am looking forward to direct dripping. Have not done that before.

Thanks again for the review.

I got mine yesterday and was immediately enamored. Today I've been using it on my Reo (2.0 ohm) and vapes in rapid succession caused the drip tip to get super hot and, I think, to give off that hot plastic smell with my vape. I'm up in the air about them right now... They are awesome and a true Cisco 306 will definitely give you that high voltage experience at lower voltages for sure. I got some HV 510s with my order because high voltage is probably more for me than the exposed bridge path to warm vapor. I'm not giving up - the drip tip is as new as the atty and maybe that's what I'm smelling.

That's the key here. Cisco's require a slightly different vaping style. I use the 1.5s and I've adapted to not vaping so rapidly. My wife uses standard 2.5s and when I let her use my PV she often hands it back to me with a scorching drip tip. You've got to take shorter draws or let them cool a bit between draws.

Also Ikenvape has their own version of the 306 that appears to be liked also (IKV LR 306 2.0Ω Atomizer)

Wow - I think I am losing it - sorry for the duplicate post - but at least now you now where to buy them for sure

I just use the plastic cap, and pull it off each time I drip. Certainly no more trouble than stepping out in the cold to light up a smoke, like I used to do. These LR 306 are awesome, and I havent even tried the cisco attys yet. I just use the joye brand.

Perhaps I was already biased because I tried Cisco's first, but I was not happy with the Joye 306's. I tried a few after Cisco stopped selling the 306's wholesale and before I was told I could still get them from Avid Vaper. I experienced performance on par with EM LR 510s. They're not worth the price premium I'm willing to pay for Cisco's, in my opinion.

For the first 6 months of vaping, I was 510 or nothing. I had tried a few 306 LRs but wasn't blown away. I kept reading so many reviews about the Ciscos so I had to try them. I was wrong for sooo long. Now I will use nothing else. I have found they can get a bit hot, but that also depends greatly on the tip. I had an awesome tip from inhaler which seemed to xfer no heat. It was great! till my loving wife accidentally fired my Icon in her pocket until she felt the heat coming through her shirt. Destroyed the tip. Now I'm resorting to the tip that came with the atty. It gets hot as a ...., but the atty has been going STRONG for well over a month now.

Not bashing but I don't get the hype.

I tried 1 Cisco 306lr and it performed no better or worse than the $4 510lr attys I've been getting from EastMall and Greenhouse1.

Didn't put out more vapor or flavour.

Mabe I got a bad one.
