I am new to the forum but i have been vaping for quite some time and about a year ago i got some LR attys because i have been hearing that they are great and its like vaping HV on LV and so on. But when i tried them they weren't that great, for me anyway i got next to no vapor and they seemed to burn very quickly. I was using them on a indulgence but am playing the waiting game right now for my new mod. Just wondering if anyone else has issues with LR attys?

I dislike atty's for the exception of one...dual coil atomizers from cloudsofvapor.com but not sure if COV will mail to you. Yes, it's an atty and not a cartomizer (although those are good also). Warm, flavorful vapor without a burnt/metal taste. I've been using them at both 3.7 and 6V. Pricey but worth it IMO.
Cool thanks for the advice. i am waiting on a big order right now and i got alot of cartos and attys. I even ordered a couple LR of each to try my luck. And a new device so that might have been the problem aswell
Finding a powerful PV is the first step. Either variable voltage or one that will accept an array of batteries is a must in one's arsenal. eGo's work good for what they are but really aren't powerful enough to properly power LR gear. However, they will fire it but not to it's full potential. Basically, to get the full affect of LR, you need to use something like a silver bullet from altsmoke.com, prodigy from puresmoker.com, or other mods along those lines. Then LR really shines through. The ProVari and BuzzPro will work with LR but you can't set the voltage very high on them or the protection circuit kicks in even with dual coil atty's/carto's. Anytime you use LR, make sure you keep it good and wet. They eat up the juice quickly...which is probably why I don't like LR atomizers except for the dual coils. I run dualies on my bottom feeders so the first sign of dryness, they get feed.
Short answer is no. I like LR atomizers. Even on an Ego. The 306 LRs work especially well. As to a mod, well you can't use 'em on high voltage mods. 5 volts (unloaded) is about the max. The Provari's circuit protection will prevent an LR atty from firing. As to a 3.7V Silver Bullet or similar, sure they'll work fine.
If you're stacking batteries in your Indulgence, the LR will probably burn your juice. However, if you're using one 3.7V battery, it should work just fine. However, I've heard there are issues with the Indulgence switch firing properly. I don't know if they've fixed that issue with Indulgence v3.
Any chance your problem is just the center pin not making good contact with your atomizer?

I have no idea why one would want to use a 1.5ohm atty @ 5v (that's 16.6watts) unless they need to cauterize their tonsils.
Personally I lke a LR atty far better @ 3.4v (eGo) than I do on a big bat mod (4.2v fresh off the charger)
What ohms atty and on what volts?
YES - LR attys get real hot, yes they give burning taste if not keep damp. And in general don't use attys with ohms more than 2 less than your voltage unless you are darn good at using them.
And of course all new attys can have nasty tasting primer, need to be cleaned of that and well-primed with liquid and wait for that to soak in, wtc.

The OP said he was using them on an Indulgence. So, he's either using: 18650, CR123 or RCR123A. He didn't say whether he had the short tube or the long battery tube.
I had a problem vaping anything on my Indulgence. it seemed like it was pushing about 2 volts. my egos are 100% better. youll be happier once you get your new mod. i was told its a problem with the switch. the contact between the addy / spring / little pin and switch are not soldered. i pulled mine apart, soldered it and it was better but i then broke the switch so now it sits.
Yeah the main issue i have with the indulgence is that the switch is funny. I have been using it mainly on 6v with a regular atty because 3.7v does nothing. And that was a big problem i had with eastmall.net i told them right off the bat that my switch was messed and they just seemed to dance around the problem and didn't help me out. I must say i will probably never deal with them again really bad customer service

i never mentioned it to them seeing i broke it but went i went to get a new switch it wasnt in stock. its still not in stock. that was a few months ago. i did see a new version for the button but its in china. shipping was something like 18 bucks from alibaba or something like that.

Were you looking for the entire switch section or did you actually find just the switch? 'Cuz the new Indulgence integrates the switch section and the battery tube. And they did away with the 801/901/510 swappable connectors.
I don't know if they actually improved anything. But, they may have made the manufacture cheaper.

your thinking of the v3 kit. the v2 said to have an upgraded switch to eliminate the problems. from what i understood, if you put the Indulgence v2 button assembly on the v1 kit the problems would be gone. witch would be better connection and nonmisfiring. the misfiring was just a loose bottom plate for the button. that could easily be tightened but the connection from the battery to the addy was bad.
Yeah, I waited for the longest time for the Indulgence to get back in stock. When it finally did show up, it was the v3. I was wondering if it was even possible to buy v2 parts, anymore.
An LR will kill a Joye 510. It's only recommended for bigger batteries 650 mAh and up.
The OPs problem is that he has an Indulgence. Fortunately, it was firing so bad he didn't burn any juice with an LR running at 6 volts. You really want a high voltage atty, i.e. 3 ohms or higher for a 6 volt setup.
