Cisco LR306 on a Reo Mini...something's wrong!

[SilentEcho13]

Just picked up a LR306 1.5ohm for my Reo Mini.

Basically, it's burning. I haven't had a single good drag, no matter how much I squonk. I've tried taking unpowered pulls to draw liquid up, tried lighter/stronger pulls, nothing. It's so dry that you hear it sizzling even after the switch is released.

Help!


Should I dewick the thing?

You may have a lower ohm atomizer then 1.5 I bet its closer to 1.2

I just metered it on my Provari, comes out to 1.5ohms on the dot. I actually never had a burning problem with the 1ohm 306 that I used last time, though it was debridged and dewicked.


Edit:

Cool to see Rob himself give me a response on here

It could just be a bad atomizer if its not getting the proper air flow it will over heat and burn your juice .

Check the tube in your bottle. It might be forming a suction to the side or bottom and not feeding juice. You can cut a little off if it is.

I've had that happen on two Cisco 306s in the last two years. Rare, but it can happen. No matter what I did it was just burnt.

 

[SilentEcho13]

Well, I dewicked it. It is now a magical piece of vapor heaven!

 

[SilentEcho13]

Well, it's bad again.

After dewicking it, it worked great. It wicked perfectly and kept up with heavy vaping.

2 days later... it burns on every damn hit. It just doesn't wick properly anymore. I have to take 1-2 second drags just to use it, before it burns again.

Next step?

Maybe debridge it?

I've tried an alcohol bath, it helped for about 20 minutes.

Toss it. It's a $9.00 atomizer that has caused you enough grief already. It's time to break in a new atomizer.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

I agree.

 

[SilentEcho13]

Meh...it's less than a week old...

What's strange is that on a fresh 14500, it burns. As the battery dies, it starts to work perfectly. I'm not sure if my resistance got lower on the thing because of a short, I'll go check that.

I may as well try a debridge and see how it works while I pick up a different atty.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

That could be...it's happened to me before when I had an atty dying on me. I had one that was supposed to be a 2.5 and when I noticed it causing problems, I metered it and it read 1.2.

When I was using Cisco's...I only had that happen to me about 2 times in 18 months. So it's not too common. I would put another atty on there and see how it goes.

 

[SilentEcho13]

I traded all my atomizers away in PIF...lol.

I only have RBA's that don't work on the Reo, a 2ohm hh.357, and some ACS 2.5ohm 510. Neither of them produce anything worth vaping, not at 3.7v atleast.

 

[Rhapsodies Fire]

Oh no! shoot.

 

[SilentEcho13]

Oh no! shoot.

Eh, if anything I just put the Reo down until the new atties come in lol. I'll debridge and report back on how it goes though.
