IKV atomizers 1.5Ω poll

[Iken]

Hey guys and gals,
I wanted to do a poll regarding LR 1.5Ω atomizers. As most of you know, I don't quite agree with them as they do have a tremendous amount of sacrifice that 1.5 users or those who are interested in need to understand and accept. We always kept a reputation by not Burning anything and always aiming for a smooth vape as all of our LR cartomizers and atomizers don't burn by remaining at a safe setting. I have been receiving a rather large amount of requests for them. So I thought it would be better to give facts about them and have you guys decide.

Pros

• Greater increase of heat
• Superior vapor production
• Ultimate feel/strong throat hit (TH)
• Mutates flavor to the greater good or for worse depending on the given flavor
• Satisfies those who require a strong hit
• Increases chances of lowering nic mg due to strength

Cons

• Atomizer life dramatically reduced by causing heavy stress to the filament (1-2 weeks average)
• Requires double to triple amount of liquid use
• Chances of burning filaments raised
• Chances of burning/melting stock mouth tips raised
• Chances of Drip tips getting very hot very fast
• Greatly reduces battery run times in Bigger batteries
• Can destroy batteries rated under 450 mah
• Depending on type of atomizer will separate the mesh causing leaks due to high tensity currents
• No warranty given only DOA, as all 1.5Ω are unstable

I like em! They ARE an 'advanced user device' if ever there was one. People frequently think LR atties are a "something for nothing" item as opposed to a "give & take" product.
I liken them to a high performance race car engine. (if Switched doesn't mind me stealing his analogy...) They are not something for nothing. If you now wanna drive a Porsche at 160, you can't expect the longevity and low maintenance you had with your previous Toyota.

BTW, Isaac... That's a great list of the plusses & minuses here in your OP. In my opinion, the entire ecig world benefits tremendously from risk takers & entrepreneurs that are motivated to improve the basic design. People must understand performance can ONLY be improved through actual long term, real world testing.

These products are still in their youth. There is SO MUCH more to come! To some extent, we high performance item buyers are all beta testers in these early stages.

Isaac, you keep being a pioneer! Stay right there on the leading edge of PERFORMANCE product improvement research. And thanks for LISTENING, for your responsiveness to customer feedback.

My vote is: KEEP THE HIGH PERFORMANCE STUFF COMING!!!

Now.... About that secret new atty.....

 

[Vaporologist]

Is there any way to rig this poll and add more "Yes" votes?

 

[tybin]

Issac, if you sell them, I'd say including those pros and cons with the purchase or having them on the site would be good, as you know we have lots of beginning vaporites and folks that will have issues and not understand the additional risks.

 

[warlike36]

Whoa.... 50/50... I dont use em, I vape strictly HV, but voted yes.

Simply because its obvious you have customers that want them and enjoy them,and I feel that if you as a supplier warn of the cons...then the consumer knows what they are getting and what to expect.

And you get to make more customers happy...that has got to be a positive for both sides.

A side note......I would love to try that new tobacco..

As a variable voltage user, I see no need for anything under 2.5-3 ohms. The lower the worse, for me, since lower ohms just means more battery life drainage. HV all the way! Or an average 3 ohms will suit me. As to people who don't own VV, get one! JK, but seriously get one. Until then I guess 1.5 ohms is cool for a 3.6v regulated battery?

LR 1.5 attys are all I use. 306, 510, 901, 801. Now that DC 1.25 cartos are avail. I like them too. Bring on the 1.5's - I will be your first customer. There are alot of us who do not use VV

 

[Switched]

The poll might have stated 1.8 or 1.5

 

[dspin]

Alas, I have tried the LR 1.8's and they are not for me at this time. Wish I did like them, would make life much easier.

I have recently been pulled to the dark side in regards to 1.5 atties, I only use high drains 16340s and up so I should be ok. I would much rather order attys from you so I am crosiing my fingers that there is enough interest to make you budge. 1.5s give me that TH that I absolutely crave without having to use HV. They most definitely are something that should not be used as a newb, I know that I wouldve burnt them up within the first half hour of use when I first started vaping but I know how to baby them now that I have some experience. My vote is most definitely yes, a large disclaimer is all you need and as long as you have that disclaimer you need to stick to your guns on the warranty thing, if someone reads the disclaimer and decides to order anyways then it is on them. I am willing to risk it lol.

Absolutely!

Issac.......just a different thought.

With as quick this industry is evolving it must be hell to keep up. Seeing as it looks as if you've already got the R & D done I would say go for it. I personally have only tried as low as 1.8 and love it.

The adage "build it and they will come" would seem to apply here. I have not bought another atty of any kind from another vendor since I found Ikenvape. You're atty's are simply the best.

Maybe if you had a terms & agreement box identifying the cons when you add it to your cart (the only way to be able to add it to your cart is by checking that you've read the terms)? Much like the terms & agreement when you check out?

With a javascript prompt that requires user input such as 'i agree' or 'i confirm' etc.

Well personally I think more of my equipment than to use LR stuff. But as Switched and others have pointed out there is a safe way and that is with highdrains so I have since altered my thoughts.

Never had a problem with 1.5s. Can't say I've noticed any of the adverse affects you've mentioned. My juice consumption is about the same, no issues with my batteries lasting me (I use IMRs exclusively) and provided you keep your atty wet you have no burning issues.

On a side note, Isaac take a look at this 3M's Nextel ceramic mesh for your wicks going forward. Some of us have been using them with great success on our rebuildable atomizers. I've been using a 1.1 ohm I made myself with this wicking material. I cleaned my atty this past weekend and the wick was still white (even under the coil! You should definitely look into this stuff, it's magic (aka, no more burnt wicks).

Where is the discussion about this? Thanks.

 

[washvap]

Love 1.5 306's and if you were to release them then I honestly think, that it would be good for your business. Since there are a lot of people that love it. Regardless of the cons, it's the vape that you get out of them that are the selling point.

 

[blackwater]

I'm relatively a noob and haven't experienced any problem with 1.5's other than recently noticeing that my Joye 510s had a lacquer coating on them. Other than that I had not heard that I could hurt my mod, my batt or anything of the sort. They work great for me and havent had one fail yet.

 

[btngchck]

Kind of strange there are so many no's but only a couple of explanations as to why. You might think they would like to give Isaac some good information to base their determination on.......sry..jst thinking out loud

 

[mgaruccio]

As long as you keep producing the 1.8 and 2.0 ohm parts I would say go for it, with a disclaimer of course.
