I received the HH357 on Saturday and after two days of vaping these are my impressions:

Throat Hit:
Probably the strongest throat hit I have experienced on any atomizers.

Flavor:
I would rate the flavor as about the same as on a LR306 a little muted on a 1.5Ohm atty. Maybe as Mike(MVGRATZ) said 2.0 ohms might be better.

Vapor:
Good strong vapor but not the best I have ever seen. I have some LR306 attys that produced much more vapor.

Problems:
This thing is just too easy to flood on my REO. I've been using REO mods for over a year and have never experienced this type of flooding on either a 306 or 510 atty. My thanks to Mike who suggested I use the reducing tube on the REO because it has helped. But all in all just a PITA.

Obviously I can't say anything yet about longevity I took a chance on this because I am tired of most LR306's getting tired after about tow weeks. For $21.99 I'm not convinced that this is the promised land of atomizers. Will continue to update this as time goes by.

Thanks for posting this. I agree, they remind me a little TOO much of a tempermental 510. I switched from 510's to 306's because I hated the ease of flooding them... There are many that love 510's though I'm certainly not one of them. "Best atomizer available"...maybe not. An improvement in the right direction...definitley. I'm looking forward to updates/revisions on these attys. Gotta try a 2Ω for sure...

Got my HH357 in the mail today, but I also ordered a couple of LR cisco 306's at the same time and figured I would try one of them first. Having only used the LR510 atties that Rob sells with my Grand, I was pleasently supprised with how good the LR306 is. I got improved flavor and TH with them as compaired to the 510's. And I agree with Mike when he says the 306's are easier to squonk without flooding. I will give the 306 a day or so, them try the HH357 and report my experiences with it.

I know what you mean. I am very happy with LR 306s so I should just keep on vaping them and be happy. Theres always temptation to try new things though. Unlimited budget and I would probably try just about everything though.

Thanks for the info and the reviews on these. I've pondered getting some, then again, I'm VERY happy with my REOs and how they deliver now so I'll just stick with my LR306 attys. I'm also very picky about what goes in or on my REO babies. :)

My conclussion after 5 days of use; a definite improvement in the basic 510 tube imho. Still flood too easily for my taste even with a reducer tube. The 1.5Ω is too hot for me. I'm sure the new higher resistances Hannah will be unveiling will address that issue. When they do come out with a 1.8Ω-2.2Ω I'll try them again.

first time i tried to use my .357 on my mini with imr14500 batts it shorted and my spring is screwed now.

Thats terrible. I have one comming today. I have always used Ciscos 306 1.5s but lately have switched to the Ciscos 510s 1.5. Only cause I find the 510 lasting longer. I dislike any ohm over 1.8 of any brand.

Just tried my new HH and after 1 hour my first impressions.

1. 6 drops to start was too much. Flooded!!!
2. After blowing it out and trying again with 4 drops better.

2nd hour it started working much better but not as good as seen in the Avid video. So far I noticed hits to are more harsh and it will take a longer learning curve to figure out how to sqounk to get the right amount of juice. So my conclusion on day 1 is much more work (so far) to get it to perform at it best but again I just got it. If the hassle to maintain the better perfomance continues I say I won't be getting another one. At this point in time I'd been happier with 2 of my regular Ciscos. Vaping should be fun not work. This just all be due to the fact I just got it and will keep with it for the rest of the day.

I tried the hybrid, Gil, and like you, it was just too much work.

Then it hit me, why am I trying to fix something that ain't broke to begin with?!?!?! I know there are ones that like both or either of the new attys but my Joye 306LR's are the bee's kness with my REOs.

Ain't got to worry about me hogging up the new fangled attys, I'm good! :)

I need to give this more time but I see us on possiblily the same page soon. Btw I feel the same about Cisco regular attys and surprisingly Brad's Sweetvape attys as you do about Joye 306s. :)
