Just to make a quick note. I pm'ed AcesFull the day they left and made sure it was not going to offend him if I posted my thoughts on these maelstrom 306 atty's in comparrison with some other vendors. This is what I thought of them the day I received them after a few hours of use...
I am pleased so far with the Maelstrom 306 1.5Ω atty's. I purchased 2 to test out. Both tested right on the money as far as resistance spec's go. I had none of the "fitting issues" with the REOS mods desrcibed by other's that they had with the 510 versions. As always, first thing I did was to dewick the atty's. I did not de-bridge, or remove the wick from the coil. I primmed both in my normal 8 drops/10 minutes wait, then 3 more drops, and vape routine. First thoughts... They are very smoothe, no harsh after taste like other's experienced with the 510's. This issue may have been resolved already? They are a tad bit "too hot" for the Woodvil and Grand for my tastes, but perfect on my mini reo. Of course, neither is anywhere near being "broken in" yet so my opinion is subject to change. I did shatter one of my pyrex glass drip tips trying to get it more than a 1/3rd of the way on.. My el-cheapo derlin 306 long tips fit them like a glove though...Durrability will be noted at a later date... So far I like'em far better than 306 joye lr's, more flavor came through with the Maelstrom, IMHO. I'm undecided at this juncture which 306 1.5Ω atty I like more, the cisco's or the Maelstrom's. As for a "new kid" (or atty in this case) on the block, thats saying a HELL of a lot in my honest opinion! 2 be continued...
Here's what I think now 8 days of use later.... I'm VERY pleased with them still. The flavor is warm and very smoothe with a sweet juice. Th is, as would be expected, minimal with a sweet flavor... BUT vapor production is impressive with 70pg/30vg BWB Waffle juice. It took a full days worth of use for these to get "broke in". The flavor improved, and vapor production improved after about 3-5ml of juice through them. If these keep on lasting and performing like these 2 are, I'll be a happy camper. I will add any major changes that occur later on down the road.
My 2cents are this, glad I took the chance on a new atty. Was definitley a surprise, since I expected nothing more than a rebranded joye. It sure beats them in my book...
As of today 6/28, both of mine are still performing very well...
