So far, I've tried 510 atty, 306 atty, KR-808D1 cartomizers (2.5ohm and 2.0ohm.)

306 atomizer is my favorite. I love the sound it makes, like sizzling bacon, and then punchy hits and clouds of vapor I get. The 510s work well too, but I think I prefer the 306. I have some 801s en route from avidvaper to test those out. The cartos work fine too, but I prefer attys.

So, what's your "weapon" of choice? 808, 801, 901, 510, 306, other?

In my limited experience I would have to say cartos. If I use an atty I get zero taste from it.

Really? Interesting. I get far more taste from the attys than the cartos. In fact, of what I've tried, I'd rank them :

1) Cisco 306 2.0ohm atomizer
2) Cisco 510 2.0ohm atomizer
3) Cisco 510 1.7ohm atomizer
4) Ikenvape 2.0ohm Mega LR KR808 cartos
5) Bloog MaxxFusion 2.5ohm KR808 cartos

Strange, I feel you give up a bit of flavor with a carto ... but its super simple and worth it sometimes.

Cisco 510 @ 2.0Ω gives the best flavor IMO.
(with exception of IKV 2Ω 801)

I don't get jack for flavor with a 1.5Ω 306 Cisco though and some people think they are the best.

I guess its all subjective, and the flavor/type of juice makes a big difference !!

I have not tried a 306 atty, would I just need a adapter for that? I have Cisco 510 LR 2.0, and standard 510. I tried a 510 cartomizer. So far I am liking the Cisco 510LR at 2.0.

No adapter needed, the native connection for the REO holds a 306. You'd just need the atomizers, and the 510 drip tip (if you use them) won't fit on a 306, so you'd have to sink a couple bucks into a 306 drip tip.

My favorites (all Cisco):

Woodvil, 2 ohm 510
Mini, 1.5 ohm 306

Yep, same. Grand gets a 2ohm 510.

Mudflap, that needle adapter help much? I found the 801s leaky and a pain to feed - always too wet or too dry. I'd get 1 gurgly flooded hit, 1 good hit, then burnt taste after that lol.. though I'm talking about a 1.5 cisco. The IKV mini 2.0 was airy for me - maybe the needle adapter helps

The 801 Mini is a tricky beastie. The needle adapter is nice, but really stiffens the draw with 100% VG juice. I have the best results with my 50/50 juices, and I've got to be careful how I feed the atty. It's easy to flood and get some juice in your mouth. If you're happy with 510 threaded attys, stick with those.

IKV 801 2 ohm mini on 801 native Woody with Super T 801 tube to 510 DT adapter. There is a continuous learning curve with the 801s and some juices, though. I tried an IKV 2.5 Semi on it, and even with an IMR battery, the vape is too cool.

I like the Grands with 5 volt battery (custom Ni-mH cells stacked and encased) and IKV 2.5 Mini or Semi. I drop the ohm down to 2ish, or a little below with 3.7 HD batteries. Because we get so spoiled with the vape time using 18650 it's good to have more than one Reo going when you use the 5 volt batteries because they don't last as long as the Li-ion protected or the High Drain (IMR).

Mini, depending on juice an LR 306 or 510 2 ohm with sweet juices or 1.5 or so LR 306 or 510 with more tobacco type juices.

What batteries do you use "westamyx" to get 5 volt. I've got a Woodvil comeing that was shipped yesterday and I've been trying to figure out which atty's to use but I was only thinking of 3.7 and 6 volt. I would look for some atty's for 5 volt if I could find the batteries

Sorry I didn't get your quote right. I haven't figured this out yet.

This is the battery she was talking about. It can only be charged with this charger.
