I know there is another thread, or perhaps even two on these atomizers, but I felt it deserved the respect of its own, from my personal experience. I was given 4 atomizers total, a 1.5ohm Standard & Bottom feeder atty and both in a 2.0ohm as well. After approximately a week, here are my opinions on these attys.

I will use the same juice on all atomizers to accurately record results, a 70%vg 12mg juice. For the Standards, I will be using a 3.7v mod with a freshly charged 14500. For the Bottom feeders, I will be using my MonkeyBoxx VV bottom feeding mod, set at 3.7v.

Standard

1.5 ohm - This thing is a little juice eating monster. TH is ridiculous, in fact, almost too much for my delicate air pathways. After using this one for a while, it seems I go into a nicfit quicker than usual and my throat is seemingly way too worn and torn. Personally, I couldn't use this atomizer all day long as it hits a little harsh for my tastes. The vapor is magnificant once the atty is broken in. The draw is a little stiffer than I'd like, but has been easing up the more use it gets. Definitely not my 1.5ohm atty of choice, but still, a little monster as this surely cannot help but to gain the attention of those who enjoy some wild and brash TH.

2.0 ohm - This one is much better, in terms of a less harsh TH. The draw is also a little stiff, but eases up the more it is used. The vapor, as it's lower resistanced counterpart, also increases the more use the atomizer gets, and gets unbelieveably ridiculous. I could easily use this atty comfortably, even at a higher power level. For some reason, and I do not know why, but the 1.5 standard just seems to be a little harsher than this one. Even if I am vaping them at the same power level.

Bottom Feeder (I am just going to review the 1.5 and 2.0ohm together, as the Standards seemed to have the difference in harshness factor, these 2 seem identical when vaped at the same power level.)

1.5 + 2.0 ohm - Okay, in my opinion, these attys are where the new Hybrids shine the absolute most. As opposed to the Standards, these do not have a stiff draw at all. The vapor in these (once "broken in") is the most ridiculous I have ever seen. It's almost a joke how much vapor these things produce. I have experienced zero harshness in either of these Bottom feeder attys, as long as you keep them nice and wet. Which, with a bottom feeding mod, should be no problemo what-so-ever. The TH is very respectable and in terms of comparing them to a high dollar atty, so to speak, I feel that they hold their weight well.

Wrap it up

In terms of longevity or the life-span of these atomizers, I've no clue. I've had them for approximately one week and have had zero issues with them aside of what I noted above. Out of all of them, I like the 1.5ohm Bottom Feeder the most and I've taken it as high as 4.4v before and it's still hitting like a champ. I comfortably vape it at 4.1-4.2v for hours at a time.

As far as any negatives to be said, aside of what was noted above, I would say that these things are juice hogs. They demand the sacrifice of ml after ml of your juice, in other words, you must keep them moist! (Common sense, right?) Well, the mesh in these attys can hold a relatively decent amount of juice, and I have found that these things really cook, like Emeril, BAM!

To be completely honest, I personally like the Cisco spec 1.5ohm atty more so than any of these. Simply because it doesn't require the sacrifice of so much juice and hits just as hard. Though, I fully appreciate what these attys can do when they're "broken in" and after that initial period, these things are tanks with threads, ready to fire that vapor down your throat in generously copious amounts.

I find it very satisfying to yield as much vapor with such a small draw with these bad boys, but given the break in period and other points noted, I think I'll just stick with the Ciscos for now. Definitely worth looking at though, as this could be exactly what someone might need to reach vaping zen. If you're looking for loads and I mean LOADS of vapor, with a respectable TH without having to take a longer draw (and of course, have the patience to "break in" the atty), give it a shot!

Note: I have only been using these atomizers for approximately one week. The Bottom Feeders more often than the Standards. As I continue to use these throughout the weeks, I'll adjust my findings accordingly in this thread.

Nice review, Levitas.

I've been using the 2.0 ohm standard now for a week so I can't comment on longevity either, but it's a very nice atty. Very smooth draw, excellent vapor and flavor. You are correct in that they need a bit of time to "break in." I use mine in the 4.0-4.2v range.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 306, but I did like the "heat" aspect of it though. For me this atty combines what I enjoyed about the 306 with aspects I really like about the 501. It seems almost impossible to flood this compared to some of the other atomizers I've tried.

Longevity is really the only ??? left to determine for me.

Thanks again for the review.

Thanks Levitas. As always a well thought out review. Look forward to hearing about the lifespan performance.

Thanks Tiny :) For me, they'll probably last a long time. Since I generally vape one juice most of the day and only use one atomizer at a time. I've gotta preserve the supplies until I become rich, or graduate, whichever comes first :laugh:

Nice review, Levitas.

Thanks Nate. I agree, it is seemingly impossible to flood them. In fact, to avoid any burning taste, (because these things really do cook), I purposely try to flood them when filling :)

If I am not mistaken, all of these are hand made? (I could be wrong?) If that is true, it makes it sort of hard to actually give a consistent review and someone else might read my review and think I am mentally challenged.

Me thinks AG would be better able to answer that question, but I thought that was the other hybrid atomizer.

I was told that the first run of Vapage Hybrid Atomizers were made in the "special projects room" & were all hand-made.
