One thing about the 357 is it looks like it is a long barrel. I'm thinking that would help prevent getting juice in your mouth in the event you flood the thing.

Everything I've read says it prevents popping hot juice at you with the long barrel.

I use the Vapage hybrid 1.5 ohm atty's and the cisco 1.8's from Avid. And a Hornet. All work very well. Want to try a HH357 1.7 some time as well. I tried a Resurrector shorty 1.7 for the last 2 days and previously a Silo carto from vapage and didn't really like either. Gues I'm an atty person.

Memphis wins, Michigan wins. Woot to the Army!

Hey Bap. Did you find the Silo was a flavor killer compared to the hybrid?

Like I said, I was researching for April cuz she just received a new VMOD. She'd freak if she got juice in her mouth or got popped. That's why I was thinking of a long barrel. I know she probably wants something more compact for her purse but, unfortunately, there are trade-offs. I still can't believe she got an 18650 mod. That charge will last her 2+ days with the little she vapes.

Yes, not as satisfying, hit wise. Same with the Resurrector carto. I vape 6mg 100VG and the carto's make the vape too "soft"

Also the Silo would sometimes spit balls of hot molten magma onto my tongue:blink: although Strat ONLY uses and loves the Silo's.

Those Avidvapes Cisco's NEVER spit.

Oh, I bet April would love the Resurrector's in 2.4 or 2.8 ohms.

They are 22 a pop. Avidvapers.com. They have a while bunch in Cisco spec. So if they are all made with Cisco spec parts what makes the 357 so special then the 9 dollar Cisco spec hybrid attys? Always wanted to know that?

The 357s are custom hand assembled by Hanna Hadawara. That's where the extra cost lies. You have one guy assembling the atomizers and supplying them exclusively through Avid. Cisco is a specification (developed by Cisco, of course) which guarantees the resistance of the atty and the materials used. It's all about quality control. Each Cisco atty is tested, stamped, and colored designating it's resistance. If you buy a 1.7ohm CS atty, it will test at 1.7ohms within a couple of hundredths of an ohm. The Aero attys and the standard Cisco attys are mass produced but are very high quality.

Who's Strat? :)

Thanks for the info. I will pass that on to April. She wont like hearing of molten lava.

Jiggy (HHV) is an anise flavor.

Thanks Bronze, I appreciate that. Someone on this thread directly referenced Pluid in respect to another vendor's juice, and said it compared rather favorably. I can't find the post, but I'd like to try the juice, as Pluid is perpetually out of stock. In fact, i went a certain website that carries it, and absolutely EVERYTHING they sell is out of stock. As in, everything. Every damn item. How on earth does one do business like that? Is vaping gear and juice as rare as diamonds? Bull..... Talk about a contrived market. Websites that can't take online orders for a year; devices that are so rare you darn near can't buy em; juice that is always out of stock. Why don't these idiots just tell everyone that they don't want to sell anything? Why manufacture this BS supply and demand crap? That's why I want to buy something else, that is available. I don't want or need a badge of honor that I'm among the elite ...... who stay up night after night and hit refresh every 5 minutes to buy some "rare" crap made in someone's bathroom, or garage. If these guys are in business, they should be in business. The demand is there. Just get to it. God, that pisses me off.

April most likely will need a higher resistance atty. She likes cool vaping (so do I for that matter). She's already complaining her 2.0 Silo is tasting burnt but I think that might be a function of her learning curve on the VMOD. I'm suggesting she learns how to feed the juice to the atty before making any conclusions.

Good info Bap.

Amen Ice. And I'm glad you got that off your chest. :)

You wont have any problem getting Jiggy. Anise is not a widely popular flavor but for those who like it, they REALLY like it. Keep in mind, while it is a black licorice flavor, it is also a tobacco.

Have you ever tried magic fairy from good life vapor? It is similar to pluid, just as good , and you don't have to sell your first born child for a chance to buy some when it's in stock.

Ice, I found it for you. I remembered that post wasn't too long ago. Sandwiched inbetween my questions about Tom's Provari issues that he had a few years ago.

I ordered a GP Paps from Greece on a Monday morning and received the mod that Friday. They shipped using DHL who in fact called me to be sure I would be around for delivery. Never had that happen before.

Regarding 310vapers who never has anything in stock. I get an email notice from them whenever, whatever, is in stock and then I just go and order. Pluid, 710, a Zen Atty Universal, etc. The hybrids are VERY hard to get as sooooo many people want them. They typically sell out in under a minute, no matter what site they are sold at so a lot of luck is involved.

Most of the high-end mods, tanks, and attys come out of Greece. Next to that, there's Eastern Europe, Korea and Russia making the most desirable collectables.
