IKV 510 LR and Cannon Stealth problems

[Endosidney]

My first order from Ikenvape consisted of 6 510 LR, a 2.0 Cannon Stealth, and some regular cartomizers.

I have tried 510 LR's from several sources and they have "generally" performed similarly and they have always had primer. I am currently using a REO Grande with my 510's. The IKV's, with no primer, are a different animal. I am aware of a break in period, but I am having real trouble with these.

On the first one, I placed 5 drops of juice and let it sit for a few minutes and then put it on the REO. The draw was tight and I could not get a consistent amount of vapor. It also seems to flood easily.
I took it of the REO and put it on my SB. Dripping seemed to work a little better but still weak vapor production.

I took a second one that I had let sit for a few hours with 5 or so drops of juice. Same deal. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

The Cannon stealth, however, seems to work a bit better out of the box. I'm not sure it is well suited to bottom feeders though. I'm not a total ..... but maybe I'm just expecting something different.

Any thoughts?

Hope I haven't offended anyone.

I have trudged through this first atty for a day with little improvement. If there is a break in period, I think I should be past it. I'm just trying to determine of it's something I need to do differently, if I have a bad batch, or if the IKV 510 LR's are not for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I wish I could guide you along. Unfortunately I do not use 1.5s so I haven't checked them out

Hi Sidney. i think i've read over in the reo thread about folks' experience with the ikv on their reos. I have not use them on mine, but on other bottom feeders instead. I think you might find a better answer on this over in that thread. sorry i can't help ya with that.

Thanks for the reply. However the 510 1.8 LR performs the same on my SB as it does on my REO: Weak vapor production. I've tried 2 and they perform exactly the same. Cannon stealth produces stellar amounts of vapor but kinda leaks.
