OK now i'm getting worried all my LR stuff is dead so i'm on my last atty a IKV 4.5 ohm 510 with about 2 months use on it.I have 5 vision stardust coming for my Kgos today so hopefully they are good enough to hold me over until you restock everything.

 

[pizza2me]

Hey guys n gals. Somebody please remind me which 510 IKV cartos are metal (ss?). I'm hooked on tanks and never want to peel another carto.

(And I already have a good amount of fusions)

Thanks!

I just ordered the first two listed (waiting for SR Fusions)

IKV MEGA 510 Cartomizer Stainless 3.0Ω
IKV 510 MEGA Platinum STD
IKV Gold 510 Cartomizer 2.5Ω

 

[pizza2me]

Thanks JCB! Are the Platinum's ss? I have some old ones in my drawer that I think are platinums. But they are black wrapped.

And I don't want mega.

 

[JCB1]

Pizza2me, yes, they are.

MEGA IKV Platinum 510 STD Stainless (rated at 3.4Ω for optimal use at 5.0-5.5V)
but Isaac also has IKV MEGA LR 510 Cartomizer (recommended for 3.4-4.19V) which appear to be black, maybe that's what you have?

 

[5cardstud]

He has black and stainless 510s, Platinum's, Fusions, and darn near everything that isn't clear or stealth. All you need to do is take the black paper off and you will have a stainless steel.

Thanks buddy. But, read my lips 5C. I aint peeling any more cartos!! I haven't found an easy enough way to do it.

Yup. I'm a lazy bashted whenever possible.

Ah!! <lightbulb>!! I put the 801 top on my Buzz and get some SR FUSIONS!!! Then, I get some LR Golds for my soon-to-be-kicked SB!!!!

THAT sounds like a plan!

Fusions are the only thing I use on my Buzz Pro.

I think that's the way I'm going loft. I have a bunch of LR Fusions I have to use up first. Then I think I'll try the SR.

Which do you use on the buzz?

I've heard some say that higher ohm/voltage is better than the same heat on a LR. Do you agree?

In theory, yes - but it really is subjective. Theory being the SR has more wraps of the coil around the wick so that in turn means at the same power (wattage) you are going to get more vapor, flavor, etc. I get more vapor (I think) but everything else is the same. So generally, I'll use whatever I can get. SR/LR doesn't really seem to matter much for me when using a carto. However, on rebuildable atomizers and premade atomizers - HR is the only way I'll go as the theory is very true.

It's easy. You just put it in a drill and use 60 or 40 grit, something coarse, then turn it around and do it again on the other end. Then I hit it with steel wool while it's in the drill and shine it up a little. I don't like doing it either but it's better than going without.

Except that the LR causes a lot more stress on you battery unless you use them on the 3.7 volt device they were made for. I burnt up 3 sets testing LR cartos and attys in the higher voltages.

Well, yes - but I only use IMR batteries that can handle the amperage without an issue.

 

[Ferris419]

Im wondering when (if) the 510 HV 3.5Ω or 4.5Ω atty's will be in stock ....

 

[J**2]

My GG is desperate for a i06 1.5. Even have a new Pyrex drip tip just waiting. Any chance these will be available soon ??

Hey! Thanks for reminding me 5C. That is ONE way I haven't tried! (I think I heard it from you before ) thanks! I'll try it. I have a bunch of what I think ar golds and platinums I want to try on my buzz.

Thanks buddy!!

Hey! Where's Isaac???

Anytime Pizza.
Where's Isaac you ask? Working his bootea off for us vapers. LOL

 

[Switched]

Isaac is doing what Isaac does best - he is in the corner playing mad scientist

I'm not a "dripper."

But after reading the information Loft put together on atty's I decided to give the i06's a try.

I know so little about atty's that I had to PM Loft and ask him what to do with the orange plastic cap that comes on them ... I couldn't figure out how to get the juice in the atty! Good old Loft replied and held my hand getting started with the i06's and I was able to vape with them.

I found out real quick that my juices had a nice flavor that I hadn't previously experienced and that with the i06 I could take big, long drags like I do with my duel coil cartos and Fusions. I flooded one a couple times ... no problem and when the juice ran low in the atty there was no "ugh" taste.

All the things that turned me off about atty's before just didn't happen with the i06's and I quickly ordered a bunch more of them.

I'm really enjoying these atty's! Thank you Loft. If it hadn't been for your article I would never have tried them.

TT

Can you point me to the info on dripping atty's Loft put together? I've been wanting to try it but am still confused about the process and atty's as I've only used cartos.

I have std 808 batts, an 808 echo and an Ipro with both 510 and 801 caps ordered. Do you recommend the i06's or what?

Also what is a drip "shield"?

 

[Mookie]

Also, I did e-mail cs because I have a problem with an order. I was shorted some fusions I ordered but obviously can't prove that. Do you think they will honor it?

 

[woodslady1]

You're dealing with one of the best CS vendors out there, Mookie. I am sure you will have no problems getting things corrected!
