The longer barrel addresses two issues for April...one, it should be a cooler vape, and two, exactly what you said...the juice spitting. Only question now...should she get the 2.5 or 3.0 Ohm version. She has a 2.0 ohm Vapage hybrid and says it's still hot on her VMOD. I'm thinking 2.5 ohms would be best. That's only 5.48 watts (as opposed to 6.85 with the 2.0ohm). 3.0 is just too much resistance for a VMOD.

What about my pretty cone on top? Will the long barrel just stick out of it?
The thing is goofy looking as it is, I guess that won't matter much. I'm going to bedazzle it with glitter this week.

I think 2.5ohms is too high for a relatively weak 3.7v mod. On a fresh (4.2v) charge it might be just right for her, but she'd be losing vape and charging those batteries as soon as it hit below 4v. I think the 2ohm long barrel is the way to go for a 3.7 battery and a desired cool vape. I have the 2ohm LB and it's too weak on a battery which isn't right off the charger. For most, the 1.5 is the best for unregulated mods. For lady-lungs, the 2.0 would be a good balance. Just my
(this is coming from someone vaping at 20 watts right now).The long barrel HH is only about 1.5mm longer than a standard Boge carto.
There are a few of us in the army who vape 2.4 ohm stuff with regular Ego batteries or twists set at 3.6 v or below. i know I keep Gandalf/Legend at 6.5 watts myself no matter the device. A 2.4 ohm atty/carto would be the same watts in a Vmod. Sounds about right for Sunny to me.
Disclaimer: I vape most of my other juices at higher watts and prefer 1.5 - 1.8 ohm atty's for my bottom feeders. My Nova's, however are always at 6.5 - 7 watts.

Well, I agree X except we have to be relative. Unless the long barrel really cools off the vapor more than I think, then April is going to have to step up to the 2.5 ohm because her current 2.0 is too warm for her. That said, I'm waiting for her to learn how to use that VMOD as it is still possible it is running warm because she isn't getting enough juice on the coils. She says it still tastes a little burnt. It definitely takes time to learn how to use a bottom feeder.
Sorry for talking around you April.
Lol!! I'm here I'm here!
Yes, it's hot to me right now. Even if the drip tip gets warm I don't like it. If my twist could go lower than 3.2 I would do it.

I frequently vaped at 2.4 - 2.6 ohms with my 3.7v eGOs. No experience with bottom feeders but I am sure learning a lot from the threadsters here.

See fellas? April likes COOL COOL COOL. I do too, but she takes it to another level.
It's not just about "watts" and "ohms". Different devices require different power combinations to produce a relative vape experience. This is why I can run a genny at 20 watts and a Kanger Evod at 9 watts and get good vapes from each. The HH.357 will be weak at 6 watts. Maybe that's what April wants, though. It could be. I say buy both (or three) resistances and pawn one off to an Army member when a decision has been made.
Get both the 2.0 and 2.5ohm. Someone will gladly want the other as long as they're cared for.
Maybe I will buy a few hh357's and take them in my garage and modify them to incorporate variable resistance. I'll market them under the name VRBronze357.

Those aren't something you buy a couple of. At 25 a pop I hope I am blown away. The few drippers I have here I love. Right now using the SR joye that I got with the provari. Dripping some DD and its great. I am a LR guy tho so I have high hopes for the 1.5 357.

I regularly vape in the 4.75 - 5.5 watt range. There are few who vape this cool. You have me beat April. You're in that 4.0 to 4.75 range. You truly vape as cool as anyone I have known. I don't know how you get the juice to burn to be honest with you.
You're right Smitty. At $22 each, they aren't throw aways. But they appear to be very durable so my guess is they are inexpensive when you factor that in. I gave up dripping a long time ago (didn't fit my lifestyle) but I would consider a VMOD now that April got me all interested in it. Don't have to be tethered to the juice bottle with that VMOD.
If you really like that cool of a vape, I don't recommend dripping at all unless you're using vv and a high voltage atty (3.0ohms). LR attys are warmer no matter the resulting wattage because they heat up faster and use lower resistance wire. A standard resistance atty at 2.5-3.0ohms takes more voltage to heat it and will take longer to bring it to temp, but the resulting vape is considerably cooler than you would find with an LR atty at the same wattage. I would recommend, for your personal taste, a variable voltage bottom feeder so you can use a high resistance atty on it. The VMOD may not be the thing if you like such a cool vape. You can get a cool vape with it, but you will be sacrificing flavor and vapor as well.
I can say this; with a 2ohm HH-.357 long barrel at 7 watts, the vape is very cool. That calculates to 3.7 volts which is what the VMOD will be putting out most of the time.
I'm not an avid dripper nor a bottom feed user. This is getting into the realm of "check out the bottom feeder forums and ask the members there". I don't want to mislead or confuse anyone. My soft brain can hardly take it as it is.

And you see...I find the cooler the vape, the more flavor. And that has been pretty much across the board. That doesn't mean some juices might not taste better at a warmer temp, but that's only because I didn't like the flavor at all at lower temps. Any change would be an improvement...if you know what I mean?
Who makes a VV bottom feeder? REO?

I just set my Zmax to 5 watts with a T3 filled with HA in it. Puff puff puff.. poof!
It's like drinking water when you're expecting Rum. I don't know how y'all do such low watts.
