Now all they need to do is make the tanks able to take drip tips so we can have then customised to our needs. The standard tank coming down to a 510 round shouldn't be too difficult to produce as an alternative to the regular whistle tips.

For those who have the 'C's and the LR 'C's do you think a VV unit would give a comparable result to the LR an a standard 'C' unit? I have a Lava-tube coming and I wouldn't mind trying out the new 'C's but need some guidance on which way to go with them.

I have tried the LR "C" Atty w/ both the stock Ego Batts, and the Riva VV Batt, both do well. Haven't tried the standard "C" Atty yet on the Riva VV Batt. I thought some flavors were muted on the standard "C" Atty w/ Stock Ego Batt.

With the VV batts from LF (wow, fast shipping - like cignot) and the eGo-c - I think it's the most ideal setup now (there is no 'ideal' and never will be :) but best so far wrt trouble free and flavor - no burn, no leaks.

Hey Kent do the VV ego batts from LF keep the voltage you set 'steady' till discharge?

Actually - one does and one has lost the setting after a day but now it seems to be holding after a few chargings - it may have been the one I started without a full charge but I'll keep an eye on it. The one I fully charged is on 'blue' - I'm seeing how a cisco 306lr does on it for coffee - so far so good. One thing I noticed on charging is that one still has the blinking last bar but then goes full 5 bars once off the charger. Other one all 5 solid when charging is finished.

Well, I received the ovale lr heads and atty body today. WOW!! these are hitting like a cisco 306lr! in vapor and ease of draw. My betas (regular ohm heads) are marked joyetech. And yes, the ovale lrs are marked 'ovale' 'LR' on the side of the head. I haven't had the ovale LR going long enough to just any burning or discoloration... vaping a non-clear but light ejuice - habana reserve right now - taste is great with no signs of burning so far.

One thing is that while the atty body and holder without the head inserted go to full flush when screwed together - there is a small gap when the head is in place. I'll look into this later and check the other heads at some point. This is the 'chinese thread/tolerance issue' it appears. And it doesn't affect anything as far as draw or leaks in that the air channel is at the other end of the silver band of the holder.

This is a significant difference in vapor and if you may recall - I have reported my regular heads (I got two) as metering out at 2.4 ohms on the joye's but others were reporting 2.2ohms on the ovales. Not sure if that was a factor or whether it's just a range of variation. The new lr head (haven't popped the whole set yet) are at 1.8Ω.

Ok, just finished the Habana (off doing other things while composing this) - no discoloration in the residuals and am trying a clear flavor - DV's Lotus Flower - my lightest flavor. So far so good. :) Good flavor on this one - the T's tend to burn this one out powervaping, although I get good flavor on the lotus in the regular ohm'd C's, but not this much vapor! :D

edit - thought I'd add that this was on a regular eGo batt. Haven't tried the VV yet on this one.....

Nice! Now I know I wasn't imagining better flavor throughput.....

Update.. on the lr - there is one flavor - black currant that was a bit washed out with the extra heat. I always thought the lotus flavor was the lightest but it held up well and black currant didn't?? Both ejuices have the same VG base and VG nic base. The stronger flavors - real tabs and habana reserve really do well on the LR. Ylang Ylang well enough but for now the real tabs and the habana will be the lr flavors.

I also tried the VV with the lr and I think 4.2 is a bit hot for it. That's 9.8 Watts and while I've been vaping coffee on a big brother vv mod with a HV joye atty at higher wattage, it doesn't get that hot on me. Here perhaps because of the metal band on the holder and the steel button on the VV the heat transfer was getting hot. And the flavor was starting to suffer as well. At 3.7v again - habana and real tabs (tobacco) held up well with great vapor. But this thing puts out good vapor on regular eGo batts as well. Still haven't fixed the 'gap' (about a fingernail width of the holder and the atty body, but again, it isn't leaking or affecting the airflow as that is from the bottom of the ring which fits snug against the battery.

Basically the lr works well on regular batts and would do well on the vv at 3.7 or the SE rivas. Perhaps some ejuices would hold up to the 4.2v but it runs hot, imo..... just telling you all what I'm experiencing as I go. I did have a bit of a leak/drainage in removing one tank that still had some ejuice in it but not during vaping. I also noticed earlier on the regular c, that if I inserted the tank 180 from where I had it, it was a hard fit - someone mentioned on a thread about a hard placement of a tank. When I turned it around how it originally went in, no problem. So there might be a 'channel' for the spike once the tank is inserted but I also prepunch the tanks before initially inserting.

Had my first LR Atty decrease performance last night. I had been using it steady for 8 days, vaping 3-5ml per day. I will probably try and clean it up, and see if that brings it back to 100%.. But other than a quick grain alcohol soak and burn out, if that doesn't do the trick, it goes into the trash. I'm really trying to eliminate all the hands on intensive maintenance, going forward. I'll give tanks a quick rinse and blow out, but that's about as far as I'm going.

What specific performance decrease did you notice? If they are still working but just a flavor/vapor reduction you can probably do the rinse/dry burn/rinse and revitalize them. I have done this with two of my SR attys and they are like new.

I also have another trick I saw in another thread for wick cleaning. Just burning the wick with a lighter and then rinsing seems to work nicely. I will report more on this after I have tried it a few more times. The wick does not burn...just the charred juice burns off. Freaked me out the first time I did it because I thought the wick was on fire. :ohmy: :evil:

I've done this with wicks on the CE2 and it certainly works as you say - mine looked pristine after the burning and a soak - pure white.

Got my LR attys for the C earlier today! :D

Talk about torture with the LR attys just sitting on my desk just begging to be popped open while I finished work. Finally got a chance to dig in and try 'em this evening with Boba's Bounty. Blew out the primer and loaded a brand new tank with Boba's. Took several puffs to get the primer burned off but these are pretty nice. It does enhance certain aspects of the flavor on Boba's and I get much more of a cinnamon/graham tone than I do on the SR atty on my C. The SR has more chocolate notes but the spicey tobacco notes disappear. I have one SR and one LR side by side on two different setups and I like them both!

Got my LR's in today as well! Also got in some new juice from Mrs. T's, two of which are from her test section. Figured I'd fire up a fresh atty and taste test the carrot cake (since she asks for initial impressions, and then again after steeping).

Holy wow - did I love the crackle of the LR - and it was the most full vape in flavor, TH and vapor production! I never knew!

I'm very excited to be rocking the LR's now!
