I thought the 306 was a vapor cannon?

I get all of my 306 Atty's from Jason at E Cig City in Laguna Beach CA. It is a brick and mortar store and he is a registered supplier here on ECF. Here is his thread link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-cigarette-suppliers-forum/174797-new-southern-ca-store.html

You can drop a note there to tell him what you are looking for or you can just send him a PM. I know that a lot of folks have there favorite 306's ranging from Cisco, to i06 to MA06, but I know that for me the Bauway ones I get from him perform impeccably and consistent every time. The very first one I bought back in like March or April of last year lasted me over 6 months before I popped it when I was doing a dry burn on my Provari and forgot to lower the voltage before I started.

If I don't touch leads together it says 1. If I touch leads the numbers go kind of crazy. If I'm dead steady they'll even out at 1.

So if I subtract 1 I get 1.8. On a battery that is 3.7 volts on the multimeter. I've been using the battery all day. Hence the 3.7 reading.

Shouldn't I be getting a good amount of vapor? It's really weak.... Atty isn't flooded. I actually am purposely vaping till it tastes somewhat burnt just so I'm sure it's not flooded.

It's really odd that your getting weak vapor from your atty right now. Especially since it's a Cisco but, you might have just got a defective atty. Have you contacted Avid Vaper already?

Actually went ahead and started using a brand new 1.8 ohm Cisco 306 right now on one of my mini's. Haven't noticed any weak vapor or anything. Did you prime it before you started using it? What's the PG/VG ratio of your juice? What type of battery are you using?

Maybe you should try dripping normally to see if that makes a difference. First, just blow out all of the old juice in there. Prime it and do the usual. Then take some hits to see how it performs. If it's still weak then the atomizer is to blame.

I must have got a bad batch of 1.5 ohm's before christmas as well. I've tried pretty much everything and get hardly any vapor off these atties. I heard they were BEASTS and was pretty dissapointed.

I even tried De- meshing one of the five I ordered and nothing... I put a joye LR 306 on and blow clouds!?!? So weird to say the least

What PG/VG ratio juice are you using? I'd suggest at least a 50/50 blend. I usually use 70-100% VG and produce insane amounts of vapor.

You should try using a fresh battery. When my batteries drop to 3.9 volts, I notice a drop in performance and replace them with a fresh battery.

I've been using Cisco 1.5, 1.8, and 2.0 ohm 306's for almost a year and they have always performed well.

Make sure you are using the right ohms setting on your multi meter. You probably received the right attys. Cisco is very thorough when packing orders.

I stopped using 306 attys in favor of CE2's. I would buy Bauway 3.0 ohm 306's for use with my 5 volt. I loved them when they worked. Seems quality control isn't so good and some would work well and others not. Plus they leaked easily enough to be a pain. Now I just use em for emergencies. But when they do work, yes, they can be a vaper cannon.
