Has anyone noticed the cisco 306's quality decline lately??

[austin.deejay]

When I got into the vaping game the 1st 2 atty's i got were 2 1.5 306's from cisco.. i still have the original 2... since then (on other orders) I have had 2 1.5's pop on a ego for no reason after about 1/2 day's use on BOTH and I have a 1.5 that reads out at 2.3-4 ohms and a 2.0 that reads around 1.4.. What is going on? whoever he hired or whatever he did as of late ruined his name in my opinion.. With that said, the 1.5 that does 2.3-4 is my favorite atty.. Has anyone else noticed things like this lately?

Well I haven't had any pop on me, but I have noticed a size problem. Some of the ones I ordered are too narrow to fit in any of my tips. I have a XL 306 drip tip from Cisco, and it just slid around. One wouldn't screw in to my provari, but does just fine on the Icon. And the fact that they all meter out to 1.6 on the provari, same as the joye or any other LR 306 that I have, never 1.5. Perhaps I am missing something?

I have LR 306 from Bauway and Joye that last 10x over the Cisco's.

The cisco attys lasted me about 2 weeks and then just poped.

The other cheaper attys still going strong.

I have had 2 pop on me.. the major thing I have heard is they meter all over the place.. which is the problem I had.. They did replace 2 of the 3 I sent back, so I will have to see how these do..

 

[RedAlert]

I havent had any DOAs, and they all meter right at 1.5ohms, but I've only had one out of the last 6 I ordered perform they way they should. The other 5 have barely any sizzle and don't produce the vapor or warmth that they should

I've been having so many problems here lately, that I'm just about to give up on attys all together. I've lost at least 10 in the last two months, some cisco and ikens. Just not cost efficient if I can't get at least a month out of one. I still have attys that are over a year old that I stopped using as all the new cartomizers came out and I started experimenting with those. The last few months have been nothing but bottomfeeders and I just can't keep the attys alive.

So I'm back to my old order of dual coil cartos. It's much nicer to have one of those pop that I paid .60 cents for from smoktech vs the 7.99 atty I just got from cisco or iken. Quality is going downhill as more and more people keep buying from these two guys. I've got a GLV3 that I ordered over 7 weeks ago, if it ever gets here I think I'm just gonna sell it and stick to a VV mod with no amp cuttoff point and dual coil cartos.

Durability isn't there. Very disappointed...but i just order 5 more anyway; hoping it'll buy me enough time to find an alternative... Tried 3 COV Hybrid atties but no luck there either. The Maelstrom LR306 1.5 seems to last a lot longer than the Cisco's but it's out of stock.

1st Cisco - 8 hours
2nd Cisco - 8 hours
3rd Cisco - 2.5 days
4th Cisco - just started...

Not doing to good!

I've decided to head away from Cisco as of yesterday. I purchased a 2 1.5 306's+a V2 drip tip about a month ago. This was my second set of these, the first were great but were just getting weak. Also my first drip tip was a V1 and cracked.

BOTH of these atomizers literally split in half from the connection end to the upper half exposing the wired inside. I know for a fact it was not because of anything I had done as the first one split within the first 10 minutes of use as I was unscrewing it, the other fell apart this morning. The second one is still working but falls apart every few minutes, first one I can't even get to close back up.

I sent a support ticket asking whether this was a bad batch and if perhaps a replacement was in order 3 weeks ago, I've yet to hear a single reply or acknowledgement of my complaint. It's one thing for an atty to die out, which I have yet to actually happen on me with any atty, just weaken in vapor production, etc, but to completely fall apart is not something I expected from a "high end" atty.

Fairly disappointed since the first set was a complete game changer for me compared to a previous cheap 1.8 510 I was using. I decided to order the Ciscos soon as I picked up a Reo and it was amazing. I may give the Cisco 510's a try since I have been missing having any flavor from the juice lately and hope these don't fall apart on me.

My first ever Cisco 306 is going on about 3 weeks without issue... haven't taken it off the REO, haven't blown it out, never touched it. Kept it wet at all times. Hits like a champ.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I haven't touched my ciscos since starting with the dual coils. Getting ready to try a few new juices so I'll break one of my old ones out. But I also noticed that out of the last five I ordered only one , maybe two really put out nice vapor and flavor. Surprised someone hasn't come up with with another way to vaporize juices. Commercially speaking

Might try those next. Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of IKV, the atty was great but I've really enjoyed 1.5ohms and not sure if I want to step back to 1.8 since I'm limited to 3.7V. Cisco was great with my first try, this last one really ruined it for me though.

Using a Cisco LR306 on my 1000mah ego battery(with nifty ego dripshield). Has to be my favorite way to vape. Good TH and plumes of vapor

 

[zackswag]

i heard in a madvapes newsletter that egos can only handle 1.8 ohms

 

[caughtus]

All 4 of my Cisco LR306's have split on me. I was planning on soldering the top to the bottom on my next order.

This upsets me to hear this. I loved the last Cisco LR 1.5 I used. (on my Old Goat without catch cup). It lasted 3 months and I never "maintained" it. I need/want to purchase more, but am now leary. I'm using some Joye LR 1.5's right now and they last maybe 5 days with me and I can't afford that even at the bulk prices. Oh please please, somebody, please come in and say that Cisco is back up to par and all is well in Cisco land once again.

This is not a review, moving to proper sub forum.

I had that same is with the 1.5 ciscos, I recently bought the 2.5 and 3.0 ohm ones from avid vapor for use on my Provari and they rock anywhere from 4.6 to 5.5 volts and are going strong after 3 weeks of hard, daily use with no significant drop in ohm rating on my Provari's ohm readout . Hope that helps

I get a better throat hit in the DCTs than from my cisco 306s, plus they're less fuss... imo dual coil tanks are the best add on out right now, especially for VV devices. But as we all know, a year from now, some other spectacular device will render the DCT obsolete

 

[zackswag]

i bought three 1.8 ohm ciscos and i wish i would of bought 1.5's now becuase the throat hit and vapor on my hh. 357 feels better
