I use LR atty's and I think they're much better than regular ones. Flavor seems about the same, but vapor and TH are certainly better. Keep in mind that I'm using good juice, though. I'd imagine crappy dekang or 100% PG wouldn't show that much of a difference.

I'll probably never use regular attys again. I'd imagine going back to regular attys would feel like using a 901. Weak!

Oh and by the way, if you're spending more on LR attys than you are on regular ones, you're getting them from the wrong place. ($6)



edit: Hey mods, you should consider adding a "comment" to "LR" in posts, similar to the TH PG VG etc...

Thanks switched for explaining it to me, I wasn't really sure why I shouldn't be doing this .I guess now I should expect to buy batteries more often if I keep doing this .
Well considering the atty was matched with an 18650 battery, yeah, I would say that stock 510 batteries are a little on the small size.

Roughly speaking here if you are producing/using almost twice the power. Then it would be reasonable to expect that life between recharges is also halved.

I wouldn't go as far to say that they are better than stock, but they do have their place. Wrt Dekang juice, that is one pretty large assumption, again this may be all subjective, but crappy Dekang juice, questionable.

Although highly concentrated VG liquids produce more vapour, they do so at the cost of flavour. This is a known fact, and the leading cause in pre-mature atty failure, but you will never get a vendor admit to that ;)

Right on the mark Switched, for you guys that dont understand some things about these LR's the run at double the power @ 2 Amps draw vs reg 510 running at 1 Amp therefor they will run down your Batts faster, also the Ego-650 mAh or Riva 750 mAh both using 3.1v seem to work very well with these LR's also a high Drain 18650 AW batt will work well for the LR, just trying to help out here and give some of my findings

Switched;
So I was not that wrong… yes, too many variables and in real life we’re dealing with “pleasure” which can’t be measured or tagged in numbers.
LOL yes, everything is subjective. There is a lot of info circulating out there, and some of it is not quite accurate, repeated and somehow winds up that the sky is brown at the end of the day. This is where we need to be careful because things have a tendency to take off like a freight train here. Take the Pink tinted PG/VG liquid in the DIY liquids sub-forum and see how quickly a thread can be de-railed by one poster (post #34).

I got a couple LR’s fronm nhaler and TW and I like them, but in my 3.7V box (with 14500 battery) they die soon, heat like crazy and get rid of the juice too quickly while in the V3 (as stated is a real 3.1V) they perform pretty good.
Those are the attys I use as well (NHaler) and have yet to kill one on my 14500 box mod. Mind you I don't take long hits with them, because anything over 5 secs, taste like sheets. I take 3-5 sec hits compared to 5-7 sec hits. I normally take 2-3 hits and allow the atty to cool for 1-2 minutes, then repeat the process for 4-5 sessions, just like smoking a cig. Notwithstanding, they will last longer at 3.1V that is a given:

  • 1.5 Ohms @ 3.1V = 6.4 watts
  • 1.5 Ohms @ 3.7V = 9.1 watts
The best IMHO is still happening on the eGo via pulse modulation, but a $30 proprietary battery a little on the expensive side. If we are to presume that the Stick PCB functions in the same way as the eGo, then yes, you are getting one hell of a vape. Unfortunately, the battery characteristics make this short lived.

I got a couple SLB for price only, and in the 3.7V box, they’re ok but in my 5V GLV those are the very best for my taste.
... and that is indeed where my SWLBs function best, on my regulated 5V box mod.

I guess the real best advise is to try all and stick to what is bet for you. I never liked the regular 801 in the V3, but when using AC from Tasty Vapor, it is great… we need to be prepared to try everything and have different devices to find the most pleasurable vape considering all the real variables we face.
... absolutely, but in the end it is through discussions like these that we extract the maximum out of our equipment and increase our vaping pleasure :D

Thanks MWA, I try hard.

All I do is correct some mis-information that may float around which in turn as you know gives the wrong impressions to folks. At times this has made me quite unpopular, but it the end....

The good of the many outweigh the needs of a few.

There is a many variables that come together to produce the vapor. The Ohm's of the Atty, volts and AMP's of the battery, viscosity of the liquid, PG or VG, the flavor you use and how you vape it. Much of the experience you will have with vaping will be subjective depending on your own personnel preferences and tastes. If something isn't working for you try something different, change your e-juice, switch to VG or PG, vape at different intervals, try a different flavor. The one piece of advice that everyone will agree it is much easier to dry out these atty's and you don't what these to run dry. You can burn these atty's out much easier if they run dry and they can develop a burnt taste that can be difficult to get rid of.
