I like the increased draw when the cone is not on but I feel like I'm getting better quality drags with it on.

That said, I bought a stainless steel cone as an add-on to my last LiteCigUSA.net order and it was actually threaded slightly off and it lets more air in than the standard eGo cone. I actually prefer this one over the cones that came w the kits!

I preffer the cone on.

1) the atomizer can get warm. The cone stands between my finger and it.
2) If i over fill my cart, the cone stands between me and ejuice on my hands/in pocket
3) asthetic

There is a harder pull on the device while it is on though. I have been giving some decent amount of thought to just drilling a hole in the cone. I dont know, maybe one or two 1/16th or 1/32nd diameter holes will do well to decrease the resistance on my pulls.

The cone looks good and keeps you from bending your atty. I too think it restricts the draw a bit too much. So I drilled four evenly spaced 1/8" holes just above the threads of the cone. Very nice!

I like the cone for the sleek look it adds to the Ego. If the draw is too tight, just unscrew the cone 1/4 turn and the draw pressure eases quite a bit.

I'm partial to the cylinder atty, but have had short life on the two I've had. The first one died in three weeks and it's warranty replacement died in four. My 510 style mega atty is still rocking after 5 months. I think there's a quality issue with the coils. The first one reads 43.5 ohms and the second one reads zero and both are dead. Something is lacking in the solder joints inside.

The main thing the cone does (which makes it worth while) is to keep any liquid leakage contained. That is HUGE! ...plus I do think it makes for a tighter draw (which many prefer - myself included).

+1 on that. If you do any dripping, the cone will save from from dealing with a handful of juice.

Cone on is better for me. Although I cant use it with my LR 306s so I might just go back to LR510

I love the cone! It's always on! You CAN use the cone with the LR 306 if you use a dremel or something to cut off part of the cone, which also loosens up the draw a little. It may not be worth the trouble for some people to modify the cone but it took about 2 mins to do it. You can see what it looks like in this thread.
