Where you least expect it....
What type of atomizer are you currently using? eg brand, ohms, threading


There are many choices out there but, for vaiable voltage APV's such as the lavatube. It's best to get a 3ohm atomizer. Since you can utilize the full range of voltages.

306's are popular since they produce a little bit more of a hotter vape. 510's would be other popular choice.

If your more into flavor, cooler vapor, and an airier draw then 801's and 901's would be a possible option.

I'm not entirely sure, I got one of the clearance MyGO VV's from Aquavape prior to them upgrading the model and I don't believe anywhere it said what the atomizer was. (They accessories mostly sucked that came with it, the real deal was just the mod, the 18650s, and the charger)

Yeah, just double checked. Just says 510 atomizer but I am guessing it's SmokTech since that's the logo that was stamped on the cartos they sent with it.

Your guess is probably right. There are a lot of vendors that sell it such as Madvapes for example.

i am a 100% all the way IKENVAPE user. especially wen it comes to atomizer. not too long ago i finally tried my 1.8ohm 306 and its been used non stop since then. amazing flavor, awesome vapor, and the dry hits are very tolerable. but if you know what ur doing you should never get a single dry hit.

the 901s are very legit as well, actually ive tried every version of there attys except the 801 and i was very happy with all but one...the iO6. ive had alot of problems with my iO6s, and its sad too cuz spent so much on the siams tips but 4 of my iO6s are just not performing well at all. and i have 2 glass tips as well. hate seeing them just sit there.

nothing compares to cotton cheesecloth and 28g kanthal, but if your not trying to go RBA route then id strongly recommend ikenvape. the hh357 is great as well. but the last 2 i bought ($40) are not producing vapor for ..... and its made me rather mad considerig how much they are. the one 357 i had that was AMAZING has been ruined by my ......ed self. blew thru the opposite end by accident at work one day and now it wont even activate. that was custom 1.5ohm 901, $30..... down the drain. ugh

Interesting post Kevin!

Isaac is not that far from me and I am mainly a 306 user and tried to conivnce him to add some 306 sized cartos to his reputed cartomizer line but, he wouldn't go for it <g>. But, I saw the I06 and went for one but was dissapointed. I figured it was his new line that would replace his 306 line of atomizers but instead it was a 510 sized open bridged atty and, the drip that I bought from for it didn't fit well and, looking at the coil under 10x magnification, the turns in the coil were not as regular as I was used to seeing with my ciscos and so, it is still sitting there in a box, have never tried it.

But, reading your post, guess their 306 line and I06 line are separate and they have both 1.8 ohms and 1.5 ohms in the 306 line so, looks like a possibility for sure.

They sell a drip tip for it and it is probably acrylic. I got both arylic (transparent and multi-colored) and delrin (just black or white solid color) from cisco and, IMO the delrin drip tip works much better... maybe holding the heat better I dunno. Isaac's is probably acrylic but, for just $2 what the heck (I have lots of delrin drip tips from cisco but, unknown if they would fit Isaac's 306).

One problem I have had with the ciscos (I remove the wicks) is, they tend to drop in resistance. IMO this is why they give the warnings for using on ego, riva, etc. I had one that started at 1.8 and dropped down to 1.5. Yeah, if the resistance drops too low, it can danage your batteries. IMO, it might be due to the turns in the coil being right next to one another and possibily developing shorts. Not a big problem, though I keep on eye on them, but significant enough that I have stuck to the 1.8 ohm ciscos keeping away from the 1.5s. But, with Isaac's 306, I could probably give the 1.5 ohmer a try as well as a 1.8 ohm.

Hmmm... something I should think about... and scrap up $20 and give it a go.

Thanks again for the post!

yes ur correct. isaac has 306s and iO6s.

from what ive read the iO6s used to be alot better. something to do with the air holes on the connection being to small. alot of my iO6s have extremely tight draws. to the point were u cant even use them. until isaac gets that straightened out, id HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE to try out his 306 line. i cant say i have alot of experience with other 306 brands, but i DO know what a good vape and a BAD vape is, and IKVs 306s give an amazing burst of flavor, vapor, and TH. i only have one 306, 1.8ohms, and it hasnt dropped at all since i primed it at vapercon. thats another thing about the iO6s, the ohms were ALL OVER the place wen i got mine. 3 or 4 of em too. isaacs CS is outstanding tho, just one more reason everyone should check his products out at some point.

UPDATE!

so after discussing the iO6 a bit, i grabbed a new one still in package that i had(2.5ohm) and slipped over a siams tip. primed it with rawrs banana cream pie and threw it on my kicked bam set at 7 watts. and WOW! this is the first iO6 out of 4 that ive tried that is actually working very well. the flavor is reallllly delicious and i also noticed the density of the vapor to be different. in a good way. its almost thinned out more, but still massive plumes. hard to explain really. hopefully the iO6s have gotten worked out for the better this time
