Help on LR 510

[dopeh]

No we don't spit on folks here Isaac want's to know if an atty is not coming in on spec or very close to intended spec. It is not uncommon to have a slight deviation, but a large one e.g 2.5Ohm instead of 1.8, is indeed a large deviation from spec. Does that make it a bad atty? No, just an atty that is not LR and can be used at 5V. OTOH Isaac definitely want's to know.

I have to agree, 2.5 or 2.7 is something Isaac should be aware of and rectify. Like you say, doesn't mean they're bad, just not LR - though not everyone has a MM, or vapes at HV. Personally I haven't seen any so far off the mark, either I've been lucky 20 times or folks are reading their meters wrong..

These are my favorite atties for now, they have the fastest (though admittedly roughest) break in, and last me about 3-4 weeks with zero cleaning/maintenance. I pretty much leave it on my Reo til it dies or performance drops to unacceptable levels, then toss it.

cheers

My post was more to the point of deviation and checking. My meter measures the leads at somewhere between .1 and .2 lingering the longest at .1 so I'll subtract .15. For that I arrive at 1.95, 2.15, 2.15, 2.35, and 2.55. There again the point I was making is you really can't say a atty is 2.0 or 1.8 just because they're advertised as such.
All that being said, these are my favorite LR306s... wish they were made at 1.8 though.

I imagine to get into this business you can't just have a lot of heart in the beginning. You must consistently want to be helping people to stay away from cigs all the time. Do you think Nurses who get work overloaded, yelled at by the very people they're trying to care for, and unappreciated just think they can slack off on how they put the IV into their patient's arm? Look I'm not trying to be a d-ck I'm just pointing out that if I have to use my multimeter to check an atty and have been fortunate enough to afford a VV mod device, much more.. like the device, just to use that atty? Well that is very wrong especially since the atty is not intended upon initial purchase to be used with that type of device. And more so I think you need to find your passion, not just a way to feed a family. Quality is extremely important and I'm sorry to put it so harshly it just needs to be done, you should want it to be done. Look at these HH .357 attys coming out, the guy will test them before he sends them out. I sincerely doubt that Isaac personally tests them anymore, maybe he did in the beginning, but hey, who wants to test attys anymore when you feel you've made enough people impressed that they're shuffling about doing the impress talking for you? Just my 2 cents. Work hard. Play hard.

I seriously doubt that Isaac has the time to test every single atty and carto that goes out. I don't mind metering mine once I get them. I actually like it because then I can tell whether something is DOA or if I just need to use it at a different voltage. I don't own a VV device and I don't know that I'll be getting one any time soon. Every single atty and carto that I've purchase from Isaac has been exactly the ohm it was supposed to be. EVERY SINGLE ONE! I just got an order of SC and DC cartos today. I metered all of them and they all tested at 1.6Ω.

The guy who will be selling the HH .357's might say that he'll test them before they go out but if they end up being popular, I bet that will stop. Even vendors need a life and time off from work. It's hard enough running your own business and they can't spend 24 hours a day testing everything.

I am pretty much new to Ikenvape (and thrilled that I found him). I have been vaping almost a year now and didn't own a mm until the past month. I used to take the atty's to my son to test (he must of got tired of it because he gave me one of his ..heheh). Maybe it's because the mm is new to me, or just that I throw all of my atty's into one bin, but I'm having fun testing them (okay so I need a life). And I LOVE the LR306's they ROCK!!! And they have all been right on 1.9 mm is .1

Did I get lucky? I don't think so because all of my other atty's came in within .1 or .2 of what they should be......

That is pretty much what I found out as well.

OTOH I ordered some time back (before IKV) some 801s at 3Ohms for a specific purpose. Before I placed it on for its intended destiny, it metered out at 1.8. Well there is no way I was going to do that with this discovered gem so it got marked 1,8 and used as such, as a low res atty.

Isaac has been my sole supplier for the past year + for all mu vaping needs. Besides customer service, his product meets my needs to the fullest enjoying longevity like no where else. Yes I am an IKV customer, no I am not a fanboy. But in closing I have realistic expectations wrt my gear and IKV meets my needs and then some. I will not go anywhere else at this time. what does that mean? I am not sure...

I've seen a lot of range on IKV atties... but 75% have been spot-on... I have IKV HV 306s that meter from 3.5-4.5 (yes, I know how to use a MM)

It's all good though because 1) My darwin doesn't care what the resistance is... It'll vary the voltage from 3-13 to get my wattage and 2) they're still fall superior in terms of quality.

Also, I've seen some crazy ranges on other atties too... Cisco "1.5s", for example... have been spotted as high as 2.1 ohms...

For my REOs, OTOH, they have to be close to 1.5... or I don't get the vape I need and start jones'ing.

Wow, that's not cool. I know the industry (China) has a 25% margin for error but that range is simply not cool. I can't speak for myself has I have never seen atties with such a large margin. 0.1 - 0.2 yes but 1Ohm, that is totally unsat.

I just got a mm and tested all my IKV 510s, all metered 2Ω with 1 at 1.9Ω. Close enough, though I'd prefer it to err on the low side lol

Glad to hear this, I often wonder wrt some post. I cannto pssibly be the only dude that doesn't have issues.

Forgot to mention that I tested 12 atties, all from the newest batch with the smaller print. Large enough sample imo.

Cheers

Edit: I also tested 1 that has been in use for 3 weeks or so, it metered at 2Ω. So it's not like they're going bonkers after some use.
