Longest lastting atty for Boba's

[Ratman]

Tried searching but so many people have 'Boba's Bounty' in their sig or in random comments that it is like a needle in a haystack. I am having horrible luck with attys and my Boba's. My best experience got me about 5ml out of a brand new vapage hybrid bf on a vv bf before it tightened up on me. Since then I have tried more Vapage attys, drippers dream, halo sr, plain jane 510 sr that came with a pv purchase and a couple of MAP 306 attys. About 12 attys in all. They all lose flavor and vapor within 2ml of use. Even the original one that worked fairly well doesn't last but half a day after cleaning.

Other than rebuildables, which I am going to try eventually, what are some suggestions for attys that handle the big BB well? I prefer 510 SR on a VV bottom feeder.

I burn a super thick VG too (not Boba's) and all I do is clean, clean, clean, clean and when I'm done cleaning, I dry burn, dry burn, dry burn, dry burn. I have found no substitutes. I'm just glad that cleaning and dry burning is not a major task (for me anyway).

I've searched for 9 months for the perfect atty for bobas with the least hassle and best flavor . Genisis style atties is by far the way to go they are the easiest to clean and the wick last way longer than any silica style atty

Do you mind if I ask what your cleaning ritual is? I usually will soak them in hot water for a few hours, then blow them out and soak them in vodka for over night. Blow them out and let them dry. I dry burn till the coil glows evenly and then prime it with 6 drops when ready to use. I let that soak in for a several minutes, squonk from my bottom feeder and let her rip.

Is there something I need to differently?

Joyetech Standard res 510 atties or Ikenvape IO6's. When mine get tight I vape some 50/50 PG/VG juice to loosen em up. Then If that stops workin' I pop em in my ultrasonic cleaner with 90% rubbin' alcohol (yeah I know) and they are new again. I don't dry burn em, pull the bridge, mesh or wick. Nearly all the juice I buy is high VG; rarely do I buy anything less than 50% and don't have a problem. If it starts to clog, I also jack the voltage up!

Have you checked out the AVA from Thermovape? They're a little pricey, but they're bottom-feeder friendly, always give clean flavor due to the ceramic plate, they perform best with high-VG juices, and apparently last forever.

Try avid vaper. Try Cisco spec 306. Or HH357. I run bobas exclusively on my Cisco 306. Cleaning and maintenance? I've been vaping the same 306 for two weeks. Bobas is king in my book. And apart from a rebuilable from mark bugs chalice. The Cisco 306 or HH 357 are top dogg in my book ....

I've been using a 1.8ohm I06 on a kgo since the begining of august and it still rips pretty good. Never cleaned or dry burned, only blown out once a day. (Proceeds to knock every piece of wood within reach! )

The IKV 306 is a beast and can handle anything. This current one is lasting me forever. I just soak it an alcohol for an hour or more if need be, about once a week.

I use HH357s
I have a long barrel 1.5 ohm that has made it through 200ml of Flue Cured, still working now.
My Boba's atty is a HH357 short that has seen 90ml so far. Works well.

After my first HH357, I quit cleaning them. I just use them for one juice. Seems to be fine.

 

[Ratman]

Thanks for all of the suggestions. My wallet hates you all!

 

[jifjifjif]

I agree with buying from avidvaper.com. Get yourself some 2.5ohm Cisco spec 306s and one 2.0 or 2.5ohm long barrel hh.357

Whichever you prefer becomes your new atty. They both rock.

This is what i have found best after vaping Bobas for 18 months.

The Pheonix is a cheap rebuildables and works great with BB and GJ. OKCvapes has them with wicks and wire cheap, they call it the bulldog on their site.

I've got one of these too, and it has been a great performer for VG juices. I recently started using a HH.357 from avidvaper, and I'm loving it as well (also using it for high VG juices). Of course, they're two of the most expensive attys you can get but after using them both I have trouble with lesser attys

how many drips does the the hh 357 hold? never tried an atomizer and wondering how many drags do you get on one fill?

Well, this post made me want to go see if the price had come down on the AVA, and I found that Thermovape no longer has any of their "old" stuff on the site (they are now peddling their new "Cera" PV exclusively). I sent an email and just got the response "...Unfortunately, we are no longer manufacturing any parts or accessories for the older generation..."
So, I guess the AVA's out of the question now, unless innovapor.com or some other retailer has them.

Most of the time I'm just dropping 3-4 drops and usually good for a "vape break" -- might repeat that once with 3-4 more if I'm taking a longer break.
It would probably be like 6 drops from "empty" to get it going, then 3-4 when it starts tapering off.

The 357 seems to be one of the most forgiving attys I've had. I always get a good warning when it needs attention. I really want to love the Ikenvapes (especially my 510 Cannon) but they seem very picky in my experience. Still new to those too, so maybe I just haven't gotten to know it.

I have been vaping Boba's for a long time, and usually vape at 6 volts.. I had did not have much luck with the cisco's or the HH357, they would usually last me a week or so before dying out.. I am having lots of luck with the A7 RBA and Ikenvapes 510 cannon both metering at 3.5ohm..

Build your own with a genesis. Kanthal is dirt cheap and stainless mesh lasts for months. Plus the flavor is unparalleled.
