Hi

I'm sure this has been asked and answered somewhere, but I haven't been a newbie for awhile and it's fun to have other people do the work for me.

Is there a rough estimate of how many drags I might get with an average pressure squonk from a regular mini using an LR306? I don't have a Lungometer, so I don't know the resistance of my respiratory system, which I hope won't be a problem. I'm used to dripping and the bottom-feeder I'm using now doesn't sound the same. That may seem odd, but you'll just have to trust me. It seems like after squonking some of the liquid is sucked back into the bottle, so I don't know how wet the atty is without a tentative draw. I'm sure with practice I will get it down and I've ordered a clear drip tip so I can see the liquid, but I'm still curious.

Thank you in advance.

Oh, and since Statistic is insignificant, I don't think he should answer.

Lots of variables in that answer. First, if your juice is being sucked back down into the bottle you might need to loosen your cap a tad.

The length of your draw, the force of your draw both will impact how fast the coil burns up the juice.

If you are blind squonking, drawing without firing and squonking, then listening for the gurgle of the juice, then you should have a atty that is right for vaping.

I can usually go 5-7 vapes on one squonk with a LR 306 1.5 atty.

:facepalm: and here I was all set to say "I have no experience with bf cartos but glad to see your furry mug around these parts"

Insignificant may I be, nevertheless, Statistically speaking... welcome to REOville, kitty cat.

I'm not using a carto, I'm using an LR306 atty. I tried a carto, but couldn't figure out the point. I have tanks for cartos and without a tank I would rather drip.

Thank you for the welcome. I apologize in advance for snarky, non-sequiturs and thread derailments. I can't help myself.

Hi Kitty! I have no experience w/those attys, but welcome to Reoville!;)

Thank you. The LR306 is quite lovely. It's the atty I learned to drip with many moons ago. 1.5Ω and hits like a horse and carriage.

They were my favorite to use till I started into RBA's. Now nothing can compare to the RM2!

1.5Ω is low enough for me at the moment. I am not Portuguese

The sweet thing about the RM2 and other RBA's is you can do a 1.5 coil or take it higher or lower. If you are using a VV REO then you might want the higher ohms. Nothing hits the sweet spot for juices like the RM2!

I got the regular mini, not VV. 1.5Ω is fine for me, it's rare that I vape 9w anyway, I'm all about cool...

Oh, whoops.. I have some homework to do.

Speaking solely for myself I forgive you in advance for any and all snarkiness, non sequiturs and thread derailments. You know we kinda like em anyways ;)

Speaking of thread derailments...

Any REONauts who haven't read Ocelots blog are in for a treat.

Gonna be a real hoot now that the Provarinati Princess has come to ReoVille...
