LR306 war story

[hittman]

Yesterday when I was leaving work, I threw my pv's in my lunch box and went to wash my hands and then headed for my car. By the time I got in my car and opened my lunch box to grab my pv's for the way home, I smelled something burning. I guess when I put the pv's in my lunch box, the button was pushed in on my SD that had a lr306 and drip tip on it from Drew. I took the battery out and let everything cool down. I saw that the spring had collapsed some so stretched it back out, put in a new battery, dripped some liquid and gave it a try fully expecting the atty to be burnt out. It had seemed like it was getting clogged up during the day and needed cleaning. To my surprise, the LR306 worked like brand new. Not only did it not burn out, it cleaned itself. These attys are truly amazing and appear to be almost indestructible. Thanks Drew.

Glad you had no damage Hittman. yeh i decided that the only attys i want now are the LR306. I will also use my reg 4081 when i want 6 volts.

The only damage I had is that now my drip tip fits pretty loose. I will have to get more the next time I order.

Wow! Dude, that is impressive. I melted a drip tip with an LR510 in my purse and the atty was burnt & nasty!

I'm so impressed with these atomizers! I'm always scared of the dry burns for fear of that burnt wick taste but man! Sounds like you just put it on the auto clean cycle LMAO!

Cool, thanks for sharing! Glad the atty is okay Hope your lunch was too wheee!

I think after I get some more and am not worried about burning them out that I might try dry burning a clogged one on my xhaler at 6v to see if it cleans it or burns it out.

LR306 Attys are awesom but I cant say the same myself, I had one on my wetbox and my button got sticky from a small leak, I took my last vape, set it down and went up to bed, came down the next morning and my wet box was a melt box, hahaha dam thing melted away and looked crazy I wished I took a picture of it, and glad I didnt have it in my suite case on my recent flight to the west coast, plane might have caught fire, haha but seriosly these LR306's rule and I love em

Yep, can't say enough good things about these. I can't beleive how long they are lasting and easy they are to clean up. Has anyone noticed a difference in battery life between these and a 510? Might be a good experiment (if I can put the 306 down long enough to try)

 

[mwa102464]

Im pretty sure that batts will be the same drain seeing the amp draw is the same as the 510 Debook

i dont dry burn the LR306. i just leave them the way they are. after a week or 2 i put it in warm water and drop 1/2 tablet of denture cleaner in it. leave about 2 hrs take it out rinse well blow it out and it vapes just like brand new.

Lol... That is a good one.. The 306 is a tuff atty..

 

[hittman]

Just a little update. The battery I was using when I had that accident started leaking and I had to throw it away but the atty is still going strong.
