I thought the 306 was a vapor cannon?

[bogeyjim]

Just received my 306 atty from Avid Vaper yesterday.

Its a nice atty, but definitely not a vaper cannon that everyone says it is... what am i doing wrong?

Im using it on a 3.7v Reo, and the atty is 1.8ohm...

i get more vapor on my half spent ego battery on a standard 510 atty....??

Something's not right there

WOW, That is very very surprising because usually a 3.7v battery comes off the charger at around 4.0V-4.2V so your 1.8 ohm 306 should be dang near choking you. Have you tested the resistance on the atty itself and insured the battery is fully charged?

[bogeyjim]

nah battery isnt fully charged, reading 3.6 right now, but still.....

How do I check atty resistance?

 

[Dougiestyle]

Check resistance with a multi-meter. Turn the selector to resistance (ohms). Put one probe on the center pin and the other on the outside of the connector.

 

[bogeyjim]

Cool.

I'll do that now and report back

I'm gettin 2.4 ohms...

That sorta pisses me off as I spent 20 bucks on 2 atomizers that were supposed to be 1.8.....

Okay, that is kinda what I figured. I would just contact them via e-mail and see what they can do to get them replaced with the right ones. The correct ones will definitely make a huge difference in your experience.

Damn, well thats good and bad..

bad because I didnt get what I paid for, good because there is still hope to experience the vapor plumes Ive been looking for.

I hope they make this right.

Just checked the unused atty, (i ordered 2) that one reads 3.0!!

I mean are you kidding me.....

 

[Devonmoonshire]

WOW That is insane. 3.0?!?!?!?! Holy Smokes I use 3.0 at 6V with 2 CR123 3V batteries stacked up in my VMOD XL. Grandted at 6V those hit like a truck but with a single 18650 in the battery compartment I would be lucky to get any vapor at all LOL.

I am sure if you let them know they will make it right. Most companies will. I personally use strictly Bauway 306 atty's because I know they work and they last forever if taken care of properly.

OK, before ya freak...didja zero the meter before doing the test...you must always zero the meter before running a resistance check...to do so, touch the leads together...read meter, does it say zero...if not, there should be an adjustment wheel to reset meter to zero...imjusaskin..............

my ciscos are either dead on or .1 off. I have used probably 20 of them. seems odd

 

[bogeyjim]

I can't make it zero. It's always "1" when I go to ohms on the multimeter.
So do I take away 1 ohm? That puts me right but the vapor is still weak.... Really weak.

But I'm usin a digital meter so there is no zeroing out anyways....

...yes...there should be an adjustment wheel to zero meter...if no wheel, you subtract the 1 you got when touching the leads together......
madjack

 

[fray]

I have a meter that is off on ohms (shows .4 ohms while touching leads) so I have to subtract that. My other meters have ZERO buttons to calibrate it.

 

[bogeyjim]

So why no warm, plumes of vapor?

And why does my 3.0 510 atty read 3.0??

Thanks for the help btw

...can't answer that, I can only tell ya how a meter is supposed to work............
