Props to Isaac.

I e-mailed back and forth a few days ago (Tuesday?), and he takes care of his customers. I ordered some RY4 and some IKVision clearo's (2.5ml). Got them in today.

The RY4 is just what I needed. It is definitely an all day, everyday juice. The clearos are easy to use and they provide lots of vapor without getting hot (this is on my humble eGo batt).

As an additional bonus Isaac threw in a sample of his 555. I am digging it as well.

Ikenvape has some quality products and Isaac is good people. Can't wait to order again.

Thanks

Just out of curiosity, do you think there's any drip shield around that will fit the cannon?
At the moment, no. Unless Isaac comes out with one... but I wouldn't necessarily say it would happen as the tube shape isn't uniform.

Sold out already?? Bummer, I may not ever get my first order in :( maybe next time...
Whatcha trying to order?

i06 is the best for your description; it is a robust as hell atty.depending on what device pv you use, 1.5 can be very toasty hot, and some wouldn't use it on an eGo type batt; i would.
You might want 1.8 to be on the safer side of hot.
Dripping takes some practice to get right but you might as well start with a great atty.
tip: Keep your LR's slightly wet.
I just wanna try a few things. I06, some cartos, just want to get a feel of the Ikv experience. I am not a great dripper, so I am thinking maybe a drip atty would help, the one I have l e a k s everywhere, lol. I prefer a pretty warm vape. I use LR dc cartos 1.5 om at 4.5v.
ooops; since you are using VV, i'd go with 2.0 or 2.5 myself.

I'm in the same situation, i'd like to try some things but everything seems to be sold out right now. More stock soon?

1.8 is pretty warm on an ego, but 1.5 is probably what many would use, your VV recommendation is probably spot on, though. On my KGO, I like the 1.8 because it's nicely balanced, but then again I have yet to use my 1.5 510 cannon v2- the 1.8 510 cannon v2 produces lots of vapor, but it's slightly cooler than the io6.

If ya get lots of leaks, you can use the ego drip shield or the delrin or hex from empiremods. I haven't been able to wedge the io6 drip tip inside of isaac's drip shield yet, but I'll let you guys know if I manage to pull it off. Adapters help, too. This way, if it's flooded and your battery dies you don't need to empty out the shield to transfer it to another battery, you simply unthread it and thread it on to the fresh battery/device with zero mess. :2cool:

FWIW, the drip shield tightens the draw of the io6, as well. This seems to force it to produce even more vapor and warmth, but can tend to heat up the device a little as the shield acts as a heatsink, cooling off the atty in the process.

Hello all...So I believe I'm finally ready to experience the much touted IKV line. Unfortunately, I have no clue what to try, lol. So, how 'bout I tell ya what I'm using and you guys throw out some suggestions??? I currently use a Phidias (affectionately named Myrtle BTW)at 3.7 with a CCV 1.7 Resurrector or a 306 atty. And, my other device is a Lavatube, primarily set between 4.5 and 5.5 volts. Now, keep in mind that I've never used anything other than 510 cartos and 306 attys but I'm open to trying whatever you guys think might coincide well with my setups and voltage preferences. Thanx for any help/suggestions you guys can give.

fun setting up hypothetical matchups:
I had a couple Phids; they hit hard for a so called '3.7" mod so I would go with a 1.8 Ohm LR i06. If you like it hot and vapacious, you could try the 1.5 but some find that too hot.
You could also do well with an LR 510 same range, and I find Iken's 306's are great.
If you like lots and lots of vapor and flavor, his Cannon is great; I don't like the wide 801 mouth, but it's got a 510 connection. The T/H on the Cannon is negligible so if you want T/h, imo don't go with the Cannon.
Isn't the LT a variable? Take an i06 2.5 and find the spot, or for a 4.5v + vape, you might try his HV stuff.
Basically my favorite Ikens are i06, 510 and 306 in that order. Just match the resistance to the voltages.
If you like cartos' you shouldn't miss the Fusion. SR on the LT. THey are the best of all cartos imo and many agree.

My suggestion... if you like 306's - try the io6. 1.8ohm @ 3.7v = good stuff. Or, if you like it toasty then aim for the 1.5ohm. :)

I'm going to follow your advice and try the ion @ 1.8 ohm. I'd also like to try some fusion carto. Both of these products are currently unavailable, would you have any soon?

I have to say I REALLY loved Ressurectors when I vaped at 3.7v fixed (sorry Issak). If you want to try something different, it's hard to go wrong with LR Fusions for that application.

For the LT, I would try SR Fusions (they are 2.5 ohms), and work fantastic on my Buzz Pro. Simply my favorite for that application. Just please don't buy them all when they are back in stock, because I'm getting low.

Now keep in mind that Fusions only come with 801 connection, so you need to use 801-510 adaptors with them. I don't think the stealth ones will work on Fusion. Issak has them pretty cheap if you need them, so order a few.

Hey people, thanx for all the informative responses. So, I went to order last night and everything I was told to get is out of stock. Day late and a dollar short, story of my life. Problem is, I'm tapped out on supplies. Ive got one 306 atty and one semi new 510 carto and if they die I'm screwed. So, my question is are there any other vendors that sell IKV? Or even someone that has a few to sell until the stock replenishes? If this is the wrong forum to post such a query, please accept my sincerest apologies and remove it.
