Hahha Got my first DCA

[trepalium]

Just bought my first DCA off a user here on ECF (anodized black ). I feel silly though because just after the purchase was made and the package sent, goodsense tells me they are back in stock. Doh!. I paid $30 total so if you think about it, it probably would have ended up costing me a little more. The DCA was brand new in package still stapled to the card. I've got some boge 306s lying around but I've heard ciscos are the way to go with these. What do you guys think?

I prefer Cisco's or Ikens. Never had a good vape from a boge myself.

 

[AlmightyGod]

Joye 306s are good too.

Cheap from Joye eGo | Joye 510 | Electronic Cigarette supplies Tulsa | Batteries, atomizers, cartomizers, e-Liquid and more! when you buy 10 in the Bulk Atomizer section.

I think I'll buy some ciscos first. It seems like that's a general consensus.

I just got a couple of the HV306's from GSV to try out hope they are good.

So how is the DCA treating you Trep? I was looking at them very hard, but decided to get a cisco 510 and drip shield for my Provari that better ship soon!

I picked up some boge 306's but the top cover was too loose. I got almost 0 draw. If I lifted up the top piece a little bit it was better, but that's annoying. Lol I also for some reason was getting a burnt taste out of them. Even after dripping some straight pg on them and vaping it off a little. I'm using plenty of juice and I've never had that much of an issue with 510 attys before. I'm using standard resistance at about 5 volts. I tried dropping the voltage but got the same response. Am I missing something with 306's?

 

[Hoosier]

I can bring you a good 306 at the next meeting so you can find out what you're missing. Should get a warmer, high flavor, vape from a 306 over a 510. The DCA should tighten up the draw and bump the flavor a bit.

Following the crowd can still get you lost.

The DCA is made to work with a specific 306 atty (the MAP).
You'll want to buy the expansion kit to fit many other 306s.
I typically pull the upper wick out from under the bridge of the 306 atty.
Quite often it will burn and cause the bad taste.
With the DCA you can add a lot of juice...which is necessary for the 306 to function properly anyway.

 

[trepalium]

Huh. I might need a little training next time I see you guys. I'll look at getting the expansion. Originally the seller had one but sold it before I got to the thread.

I bought the 306 dca at vape bash and felt so lucky to have the inventor of it show me how to use it. It was a game changer for me. I have the bottom piece and bought all three sizes of the top. The only trouble I have is boy those suckers get hot!! Lol

They didn't turn me into a full time dripper, but it alot easier to try out juices now before I waste a carto on a juice I won't like. I will bring mine to the meet too.

They gave me a 306 while I was there too, they said its what they sell, and what they recommend to use with them. U guys saying its a map?

 

[Lethalp]

Speaking if attys what is your preferred way to clean them? Alcohol? Boiling? Baking soda and vin? Denture cleaner? Jewelry cleaner? Somethg else?

Thanks!

I've been vaping this new cisco 510 with a drip shield on the provari, 3ohm@5v, it's pretty damn sweet.

Dripper convert? Probably. I found myself topping off my beloved 808 cartos so often to get a 'full' vape, I was nearly dripping anyway.

And the stardusts are the first clearos I've really liked, FWIW.

I'm still in the carto camp. The ease of use seems to outweigh the disadvantages. I haven't really had a great experience with clearomizers or dripping. I think that's probably my product selection and misuse.
