We're planning on making them a True dripper's atomizer by having the wick not installed during the production cycle as they have proven to be the weak point in these guys. Even if properly filled initially the odds of burning the wick can still be fairly common and once burned the acrid taste will be inevitable till removed. Once removed they shine like like night and day, much like the same liquid being used on an 801 to 510.

Isaac, why don't they use the burn-proof wicks? They do exist, they are used now in E2 cartos. They don't burn, period. I torched them myself in order to remove that nasty primer fluid they were soaked in.

That's very interesting Katya! I never heard of such a thing. I'll definitely look into it! Thank you! We don't use primer fluid, so that's a +!

Here's a link for ya'. He had a video of actual torching, with a butane torch, I kid you not, of those wicks, and they didn't burn. The video must have been removed, I can't find it, but I assure you, you can't burn those things. The more you try, the whiter they get! Those are the wicks used in the Royal Smokers E2 cartomizers.

The 306 is more like a 510 but gives off a slightly higher percentage in flavor and also a less liquid consumption. Mwa taught me: with a translucent drip tip on, fill it till it reaches the top of the bridge and vape away. It makes no mess and will last a very good session.

So what am I doing wrong? I drip 2-3 drops in one (2 diff. vendors) and it drips out the bottom hole. I really like the taste and TH of the 306, but can't keep them from leaking. Any advice is appreciated!

Egads...... I'm all excited about trying these, but on the other hand I'm afraid. What if I adore them????? I don't want to develop a dependency (lust) on something that isn't consistently kept in stock. And poor Isaac has been waiting one these for what.. a month?
No worries good sir, we did tear through 1188 this week, but are on a track of consistency. It can get difficult estimating how much quantity soars through and the abilities of how fast a manufacture can pump out safely as delicacy is demanded. I really you hope that you enjoy them Scott. Besides the run times on them surpasses most atomizers :laugh: odd, but true.

Thank you Katya, I have to admit I'm a little disturbed by this in a sense. From the ability of nicotine breaking down certain barriers and the plasticly taste thats being reported. It just just worrying. I wish to dig deeper into this development.

Hmm, it depends really, over filling is fairly easy, but we need to determine what exactly is leaking, the tip or the atty,. Lets try to seal the holes on the 306 and fill up the tip. This way we can target where the problem is, be it, tip, atty or adapter fitting.

I don't know what you mean by that. You're still out of stock on the LR 306's.. right? I've been checking the site on a regular basis for about the last month and have an EMAIL notification set up.... still waiting to try my very first one.

Thanks for responding, Isaac. The tip does not appear to be leaking. When I plug the bottom hole w/ my finger it doesn't seem to leak. So it seems my mods (I've tried it on the Reo and the Tekk) aren't plugging the hole adequately or it is coming out the side holes. I don't screw the atty in extremely tightly, maybe that is some of my problem. I'll keep experimenting.

Oh! I'm sorry, I was referring to the 510 Gold V2, they have been circling around very often. On a good/bad note, we ran another 100 of the atomizers through testing and have seen promising results. The down side is that the Chinese Festival has begun and will remain in effect till Feb 12th. We do have a our foot in the door to be first in line of production upon the return. Each year the formation changes, this year the factory workers will have off through the entire event while customer service will come back a week early. Either way the fun fact is irrelevant as we must wait until the entire staff returns. I'm crying too :(

Ahh I see, there is an easy fix for this. Pyloric Thinker had suffered through this exact problem, he noted that the trick is to line up the holes on the atomizer to avoid the 510/306 adapter's custom groove when tightened. You don't want to over tighten it as you the chances of ruining your device raises. If all else fails instead of buying a whole other atomizer seek an adapter, that should do the trick. I heard a few folks were suffering something of the nature from another product that was 510 native and was recommended to seek an adapter as well. I thought 510-510 adapter?! but they did make it work somehow. >see Great lakes vapor sub-forum to dig deeper if lining up the units fails.
