After months of trying all sorts of juices, I finally found my daily vape. Unfortunately, it's a really dark liquid that seems to be killing attys faster than an exterminator at an ant farm.

So, for those who've tried a wide variety of 510 attys, which brand/supplier have you found to have the longest life and least clogging problems? I generally use LRs on my 3.7v devices and regulars on my HV devices.

Edit: If no one thinks any 510 atty has clearly higher performance, I'll most likely end up buying wholesale in bulk from China.

I have both LR and regular EM attys, it's been chewing through them as well. They have been lasting longer than the regular 510s I got from Vapor Mall (not sure what brand).

I was easily getting a month+ from my regs and at least a month from LRs before I switched juices. Now I'm lucky to get a week before performance drops to levels that make me want to stop vaping. Maybe I just need to get off my lazy .... and start doing better atty maintenance.

I'm with BasilRay here, the LR306s are like Timex (y'know, takes a licking and keeps on ticking) especially the Cisco versions. I've been using one (to test out) out of the ten I have for about four weeks now and with just a quick two minute soak in alcohol every night its still performing as well as when I first got it.

As to 510, well I know some people have had issues with them but the DSE510 (Regular resistance) atty's perform admirably.

I've had bad luck with generic 510's. When I splurge and buy the Janty 510's, they last longer, some up to a month, so in the long run it would probably make more sense $$ wise. However, at $15 a pop, I balk sometimes.

That's why I'm considering buying wholesale in bulk. They may have a shorter life, but I can get a crap load more of them for the money.

Hmm. I didn't realize the 306's had the same threads as the 510.

I'm a dripper. I'm guessing with the exposed bridge it's a Dip v.s. Drip situation?

Nevermind, I watched the video on Vapor Flow. I might have to give that LR 306 package with the drip tip a try.

How much more throat hit are we talking about with a 306 over a 510 LR? I like a bit of TH, but it's not my priority when it comes to vaping. I vape HV or 3.7 LR for warmer vapor.

I have placed two orders in the past week w/vapor flow. The 306's kick .... Answer about 10% more. They do feel hotter though since your throat is closer to the coil.

The Janty Dura has a 6-month warranty. I was actually thinking about ordering some specifically because of this.

But seriously, my 1st couple atties (joye std. 510) lasted better than 3 months. The last several I've had have lasted a couple weeks or so. So I'm seriously thinking of switching now. I don't know if it's me, or what. But for an atty to last only a couple weeks is nuts. "Genuine Joye" is becoming less meaningful to me of late.

Is this the cisco 306? I haven't tried LR, and frankly I'm happy with vapor/TH/etc from std. 510 atties. I'd actually just like to buy a handful that I can have some confidence won't crap out after a couple of weeks.

WP - Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. I have brand new standard 510 atty's and in the last 4 weeks have not touched them. First went with the LR510 now hooked on the LR306. I do switch back and forth between the 2 LR types since the 306 vapes a little hotter than the 510. Some juices just taste better a little cooler. At this point I have been stocking up on the LR's. Not sure why but I keep ordering more, the two I have in rotation have been going strong for 3 weeks each. Each one has vaped at least 70ml of liquid in that time. I had one LR fail in that timeframe and that was because I was getting aquainted w/it and ran it way to hot then dry. You do not want a dry hit off these bad boys!!!!!

BTW - yes on your link

I might just try one. Followup question is if the 306 will fit inside the tube from a 510 atty. Reason I'm asking is I already have drip tips for the 510, and I'm on a low budget. If I could use something (like the tube from a dead 510 atty) to connect my T-tip up, that'd save me a few bucks.

Also, as a followup, I did a quick look at Eastmall, and didn't see what mfr. their atties are. Off the top of my head, for 510 mfrs. other than Joye, I've heard of Boge, Bauway, SLB, and DSE. I'm not going to order from China, but I wouldn't mind trying a different mfr., if I heard enough good things about them.
