Found a treasure this morning

[Switched]

I found me an 801 atty that metered at 1.8Ohm. Now I can see what all the fuss is about wrt LR 801s. this was purely found by accident, and should not have been found, but I am glad I did

I have been having a string of bad luck with my 801s. It was hit and miss. Now I will concede I am relatively new to HV vaping, but at the same time, I'm no rookie vaper so to speak.

So I decided to meter my stock. Wow! 2.5-2.6Ohm, no wonder they were short lived at 6V. My previous batch were 3.1-3.5Ohms, and the one that I have been using for the last month 3.2Ohm.

So what is the purpose of this post? Well because on inconsistencies with QC I recommend everyone meter their attys upon receipt, and label their resistance or place a piece of paper in the atty with its noted resistance. Should I have installed that 1.8 on my HV setup, I surely would have popped it instead of appreciating the 801 at LR.

Now I need to hunt me down a vendor with 3-3.5 Ohm HV attys

[7/11/2010 11:15:12 PM] amyxxx: what kind of label do you want? A small one or the one wrapping the whole atomiser?
[7/11/2010 11:16:25 PM] Iken: Really, I'm thinking more of an imprint, than just a sticker type label
[7/11/2010 11:16:41 PM] amyxxx: Oh, got it
[7/11/2010 11:17:20 PM] amyxxx: So you just wanna to show the resistance of the atomiser,right?
[7/11/2010 11:17:32 PM] Iken: right


On it


What a mix up that was! I have to ask, was it from us?
Really, most Slb standard 801's come in around the 3.0Ω stock. It works beautiful on 5V, but starting to cross the line slightly on 6v Imo. I had used a standard Joye 302 and loved it to death on 6v.
Infact this much!

No my friend you didn't/don't stock these.

I like IkenVape, it states what is there e.g 5.2Ohm Xtra High resistanceVoltage atomiser to be used with ...

The attys in question were all purchased from the same place, different batches. the others 3.1-3.5Ohms. This new batch 2.5-2.6Ohms, someone is short changing us on the nicad/chrome wire LOL. When I get 'em, I just place them in my tackle box, as singles. I'll just break 'em in at 3.7V and use them at 5V.

That is awfully nice of Amy to do that for you. I am sure more than one customer will enjoy this, especially with the large varietes we have now.

Ahhhh, the video that turned me onto IkenVape. I watched it again In my case it was a mass grave though.

Ahhh, that will be very nice!

Right now I have every atty measured with a MM and in a little plastic bag with ohm # written on it. It will be soooo nice to have it on the atty itself. Nice!

... and the one that I have been using for the last month...

Fyi: This is the comment that prompted me to start the thread about atty longevity.

I test all attys when I get them and mark the little baggie they are in with the measurement. Thank you Isaac for thinking of us and getting them marked ahead!!

What can I say I was complacent Believe it or not I had actually placed all my faith in the BMW technological QC of atomiser manufacturing Ha! To me a delta of 0.1Ohm was/is insignificant as my first batch where 3.2Ohm +/- 0.1

They are now in separate drawers.

Glad to be of help
