So I had a Cisco 3.5ohm atomizer sitting around from when I was going to test the Aurora, but after I sent the Aurora back, I had sort of held off using the Cisco because it was a costly little thing and I wanted to wait until I possibly come across a better dripping atty or whatnot. I was sort of hoarding it.
But today's a rainy day, and I have nothing better to do than test out vaping gear, so finally, I just pull out the Cisco and try to test my taste buds, making sure that I haven't went crazy with how I taste wall-insulation with so many other devices.
I drip some Velvet Cloud Vapor's Candy Bar in it (you need a bit of thick juice in regular old dripping atties, the thin juices leak out like crazy), and start at 3.3V's.
Right away, there's no contaminant tastes. However, there's hardly any vapor (3.3V's with a 3.5 atomizer lol - hey, it fires and produces vapor), so I keep bumping it up, and re-dripping, and at approx. 4.1V's, it's producing excellent vapor.
So what's the big flavor result? GUESS WHAT. NO CONTAMINATED FLAVORS. This atty is even right out of the box. ALL I'm tasting is VCV's Candy Bar juice. Now, granted, there really isn't much flavor - VCV have been kind of iffy with that, and I'd believe their juices would probably shine best on a cotton build that can really wick that thick juice up. But NO wicky flavors found here! No wall-insulation! No asbestos! No cigarette filters! No dry silica!
I think this really proves I'm not nuts and that silica isn't the problem with my taste buds. It really is faulty devices. There's no reason my Aspire or Protank or anything else should really work less than this Cisco - all this Cisco is, is a filler-less cartomizer. That's all it is. You drip juice into it. It stays wet.
Now, I've had some funky tastes from much, much cheaper dripping atties, so yes, I think it's either contaminants or build qualities. The Cisco is an expensive little turd. And the build quality seems to reflect. Just NO bad tastes. I so wish the Aurora worked right - the juice simply wouldn't feed into the Cisco and other atties, there was a suction problem. But with how generally clean this Cisco tastes, I really wish it would have worked!
Other than those factors, I'm sucking on it the same, I didn't clean it, I'm using one of the same juices, I'm vaping at 4.1V's of all things (never have been able to do that before), and it's simply working... so far. Without a doubt, I know now that the other devices I've tried are faulty. All there is to it. Either the coils or built badly, or the coils burning other materials in the heads, or the factories are dousing the devices with so much contaminants that a vodka then 24 hour distilled water soak can't clean it. That's rubbish and those issues don't satisfy me.
P.S. Ya'll remember how VCV's Caramel Swirl was tasting like salt in the Aspire? In the Cisco, it's pretty sweet! Not miraculous, but certainly sweeter! Yayyy! This device actually tastes good!
However, there's no way I can buy Cisco's every time I turn around, and the flavor just isn't very strong on this one, so I'm still looking out for RBA's!
