This is why I switched to cartos, will not say flavor is as good but certainly close enough given the ease of use, consistency and price. Also as I understand it the 357 comes with a lot of detailed instructions on how to use and maintain, that just doesn't transulate for me into ease of use. For $22 I want more longevity than I seeing here in this post. Thanks.

I've only had mine two weeks. So far so good. Some people have reported getting months out of them, but others haven't had such luck.

This atty hasn't had anything but bobas in it. My usual Cisco 1.8 ohm 510s would start performing poorly and need to be cleaned about every 5 days using 100% VG juices. This hh357 has gotten better every day. - That fact has impressed me a little. The instructions and vids lead me to think I really should clean it pretty soon, but the way it's putting out vapor makes me think I should leave it be. It seems to handle VG better than any other atty in my collection.

So far, I only have one complaint about this atty. It tends to spit. Now that I'm just dripping it on a tube mod, that has been happening less than when it was on my bottom feeder. If it is even slightly over full, it will spit hot juice.

I think it has a lot to do with what juices your using, usage habits, etc.
I use cartos during the day when I'm out, etc, but I do use an HH.357 to drip and to test all my juices that I make. So I prob use my HH.357 for about an hr a day. I know that's not constant use, but I've had my HH.357 for almost 6 months and it still performs flawlessly. I've only actually fully cleaned it twice but do regularly blow it out well. I think if you use it correctly and take care of it you can def easily get your money's worth. I feel I've already gotten my money's worth and I don't see if dying any time soon. My buddy who mostly drips, but uses cartos when he's out, has been using 1 HH.357 for almost 11 months. If you stick to clearer, thinner juices it can def last a long time. The only juices I dont use with it are juices that I know contain flavoring sediments bc juices with sediments clog attys and cartos faster than anything. I use a different atty for dark juices that I know have sediments and also real thick, high VG juices.
It is def an expensive atty, but if you really use it correctly and make sure you don't neglect it, it can def last for at least a few months. Plus I find the HH.357 gives the best flavor out of any atty I've ever tried. Ive used quite a few different attys and the HH.357 picks up undertones of different flavors in a juice that go unnoticed with alot of other attys. And it makes a LOT of vapor from little short pulls. The HH.357 works on a vacuum pump so instead of long slow pulls, you take shorter harder pulls, it's the closest I've found to how you take a drag on a cig. If you like to take slow long drags, then the HH.357 is prob not for you. But if you kinda miss how you used to take a drag on a real cig, then the HH.357 is def worth trying

Hi hubseven,

Just wanted to give you my figures so far:

*1st HH357 Purchased in Aug/2011 (going on 6 months) -- still going - but I think that like all attys, even after cleanings and all, there is some degradation -- it doesn't taste as good as when it was newer. Nonetheless, I have received a large return on my investment on this atty! The $22 dollar cost divided by 6 months = $3.67 per month!

*2nd HH357 Purchased shortly after - something was wrong with it, it didn't vape like the first - had to be sent for repair -- was okay after that but still not as good as the first. Still alive, but I don't use it often -- it's more of an emergency backup.

*3rd and 4th purchased in December 2011 in Red & Green for the holidays :laugh: Both still going strong.

I think I've been lucky so far, but like you, I've heard lots of reports of untimely deaths of this atty! :(

If Cisco & Hannah can make it so that it lasts 3 to 6 months -- I'd give it 5 stars!

EDIT: PS: If your 357 dies quickly, get in touch with Avidvaper right away -- they put you in touch with Hannah for repair! Worth saving your investment ;)
