FunkyVapes - HH.357 Review and Tutorial - HD

[FunkyVapes]

I know it's been done, but I decided to do my take on the HH.357 atomizer from Avid Vaper : Personal Vaporizers and Accessories. I basically review the unit, compare it to a standard Cisco-Spec 306 and detail a little How-To and the "Atomizer Bridge mod" to prevent juice from spattering into your mouth.

Of course, all credit goes to Hanna and FieldsOfVapor for the background information and I link to their tutorials in the description.



Thanks for watching and Subscribing, and vape Groovily everybody

 

[Mr.Mann]

Thanks for doing this.

How is it with switching flavors? That has been one of the confusing aspects to me. If it soaks up so much juice, how long does that flavor persist? Do you have to "clean" it in between flavors?

p.s. Watched the entire video.

 

[Mr.Mann]

I have finally realized that the money is worth it. I just hope all works out. I have gotten far too many dud attys that if I tallied the money up, would have purchased several 357's. Granted I always get the duds replaced, but it still is far more hassle than what they end up being worth.

Well, the flavour persists until the juice is gone. Given the size of the hits I usually take, I get about 3 hits per 2 drops. Once I want to change flavours I just do exactly what I did in the video: three rounds of blowing through the battery connection end into a paper towel. I try not to "clean" an atomizer unless absolutely necessary. I've read stories of people not cleaning their HH.357 for months and having no performance drops

This is what basically lead me back to trying atomizers again. I couldn't stand how poorly and inconsistently Joye 510s performed. I have always been happy with Cisco 306s so I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. Are you going to Grab LR ones? Or Do you use VV devices?

 

[Mr.Mann]

I am going 2.5 ohm. I have never had any luck with lr, whether it be Cisco Spec, Joye, or I06 or any really.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Oh, I use a ProVari and I have a Precise Plus 18650 coming that I may try a lr 357 on. But I got that to use with the DID. (That's another story though.)

 

[FunkyVapes]

Ah, very cool. 2.5 ohms will be great on a Provari. I've got a Provari on the way, I sold mine awhile ago and still miss it.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Sorry I keep addding posts, but since for now its just us, so be it.

Does the flavor merly linger, or is it strong if you choose to switch flavors without blowing out? Have you tried any NETs that are harder on attys like W2V? I was wondering how a 357 matches up to those. I am really excited now to get one. For so long I thought it was a waste, but now I have to find out for myself. Even with all the negative reviews on the site, i am certain that those were either earlier versions, wrong mod match-ups, or user error all together.

Don't be sorry dude, I only wish all of my videos drummed up this much discussion

The only thing I've been using it it are the HHV flavours. Cinful Pear and Gandalf would be - to me - flavours that I would anticipate leaving a lingering flavour. The Cinful Pear due to the cinnamon and the Gandalf due to the Darker tones of Cocoa and Tobacco.

I can say with confidence and sincerity that I used the HH.357 exclusively for 10 hours yesterday while my brother was in the "Tough Mudder" competition and rotated between HHV flavours. The only time I blew that atty out was After a Gandalf Vape and I seriously couldn't pick up any residual flavours (including cinnamon) when I vaped other juices; even the light stuff like Bah-In or Monkey Mango.

I have to say, I am surprised by the negative comments, but it does require changing your dripping style. I used to be a pretty exclusive dripper and I had to learn the ins and outs of the HH.357. All I recommend is watching Hana's, myself or other tutorials the first time you set it up and it should work flawlessly. As I said, I can't speculate about the longevity but the accounts of such have been from members of the community that I consider the pinnacle of honesty and integrity. I'm confident it will pay for itself

Well, your efforts are not in vein. I purchased it after watching your video, and I have watched many over the past several months! Holy Shish-kabob! That was a ton of vapor for quick hits man! That must be why it goes through so much juice, because it actually utilizes it.

Haha, thanks man. It really does get better after you vape it for a couple days, so I would say it needs a bit of time to break in, just like any other atomizer. I'm glad I could steer you into a purchase and I look forward to your thoughts on it.

Would you be willing to go so far as to say that the pre-break-in 357 is better than a broken-in Joye?

Haha, I think I could actually say that with confidence. When I first got it, I just blew it out, filled and vaped and it blew my socks off flavour-wise. Within a day, by the time I was shooting the video it was clear it out-performed the Joyes in terms of Vapor too.

Hanna actually has a video where he uses a brand new one, blows it out, fills it and gets twice the vapor I do.

I think I saw it in your face, literally as the flavor upgraded a notch. You were like, "well, damn!" hahaha. I think that was about the time I went to AV and purchased. I dig your accesability, as far as your persona, and I like that you were trying flavors from a vendor that I have hyped so much.

I really appreciate that my friend. They'll be more flavour reviews to come with my next order. Perhaps tomorrow even.

Hey Funky,

What has been your experience with spitting from the 357's? If you have gotten it, how have you combated it?

Never mind, I remember the part about de-bridging and such...

It definitely spits, but keep in mind I'm rocking mine at around 6V. The "bridge" trick works wonders, but next time I'm probably going to get a long barrel anyways

 

[Mr.Mann]

First off, I just washed my hands! Second, I before that washing, I went out to the garage to go through my trash where I found two bridges! Sweet. Now I won't have to worry about that. Thanks.

 

[Mr.Mann]

So, I have had it for all of 5 minutes. I got all the primer out though the connector end blow. I got the crackle, but man is that a lot of juice in the mouth. I mean, not a little spit, but a lot. Does this ever subside or do I have to wait for my donut hole tip? I also did the bridge trick but to no avail.
