I've never had a REAL Iken i06 with this type of very hard draw,,, Issac developed the I06 to mimic the draw of a real cigarette and that's how all mine have always drawn, and how they should feel I believe. I'm wondering since Issac has been down if there are bootlegs popping up now, I just never had this issue with any of them, I mean one might be a tad stiffer or looser but nothing like is being described by some of you with this extra stiff draw, there very easy and comfy of a draw how they are supposed to work,, seriously a great Atty, especially with a Glass i06 TrippyTip and also with WarfRats sleeve. Wonder what's going on with these, I love this dam Atty hope nothing changes with them.

I ordered 16 from ecigcharleston and so far 4 out of five I've tried are a very tight draw.. I've chucked 3 of them as unusable, the other 2 are stiff but usable... Hope I have better luck with the rest of them or this was $150 bucks out the window... NEVER had this problem from ikenvape... I'm so disappointed so far... Does they really get them from Issac?

So imo it's got to be a glitch at the factory where Isaac has them made. A few times' I've had mislabled resistances... and just lately the draw issue.
I have a couple of unused from Switcher's JR (which is the same as Charlestonecig as far as i know)... can't be bootlegged; just QC. Just saying haven't tried the newer ones yet...

all right!!! i think even i may be able... :) these are darn good attys.
Fixed the 2 unusable io6's...1.15 mm drill bit...and by just turning it with my fingers slowly bored out the air holes, my perfect draw...I'm doing the other 2 now ;)...ok, I take it all back, these are awesome, minus the sweat equity...

Looks like ecigcharlston re-stocked. They were out for awhile, but now have them again. I picked up a few 2.5Ω's as I was down to my last couple. Figured I'd better get some 'casue even if Isaac comes on-line today, he'll be swamped with orders. I'll check them when they arrive and post back here, if they're tight or OK.

I got one of the last batch JRCustomTurning had and it draws perfect.

Now Ikenvape better get his store open before Ikan'tvape anymore.:D

I'm in the same boat! I'm down to ONE iO6 3.5 right now and getting worried. I like to have at least 6-7 of these on hand at all times.

Update, ok I just received my io6 sleeve's from gratefulvapor and now the attys in question are hitting great! I'm not sure why, maybe the tips I had on it before were blocking the airflow? I dunno but as soon as I put these on they hit great and I'm no longer pulling hard to get a hit... I'm relieved obviously because these have been my favorite atty since coming out and I don't have to worry about falling back on a smoke. Thanks ecigcharleston, issac, and wharf, everything's fine here now!

I had a bit of an issue with my Siam drip tip, I put it on my i06 and it seemed to lessen then flavor and I needed to turn up the voltage a bit. Made me think if with more room does it take more heat to get the same vape? Could it be the metal in the inside of the tip messing with my flavor?
