I need a good 1.7'ish ohm atty for my bottom feeders (Reo Grand and VMod XL). I've used everything from Cisco 306's to 901 LR and currently running the SmokTech 1.7 cartos on them.

I'm curious about what you guys use, and what your thoughts are on them?

The best atty I have tried for bottom feeding is the 1.5ohm Vapage hybrid atty if there are better options I would love to try them.

They sent the 2.0 or 2.2 version out with my VModXl, and I did like how it fed, but it was a little too "cool" for me. Now, historically I've found 1.5's too harsh on a 3.7 (4.1 fully charged) battery and I've stayed away. I'll keep this in mind though. Thanks!

I was given some GreeHouseOne 306's metered at 1.5 Ohms and those on my Reo's kick like a mule and they don't leak as much as any 510 i tried before, i took apart a 510 atty to make a 306 to 510 drip tip adapter, and i been happy ever since :)
and that was my 2 cents :)

(I also debridged and dewicked one for juice testing and its a perfect tool for the trade)

I tried GH1 atties last year both bridged and bridgeless in 510, and I think I killed about 10 of them in a month. So, unless they have done something drastic to their QC and Production levels, I'm not touching those with a 10 foot pole. But, thank you for sharing. :)

I've had them in my cart numerous times, and then always back out. $21 for an atty scares me, although the coils on them look like they could be used in door hinges. :)

You really want some? I'll be brave enough to try atleast 2. What's another $50 towards something we love right? ;)

Everyone says they are worth that and then some. I'd be willing to put the cash down on 2

The HH is a very particular atomizer and it might not be for everyone - it performs best with short, sharp drags as opposed to the long, slow drags that I was used to and whenever I dragged too long I would end up with a mouthful of juice :facepalm:

Although I don't regret shelling out the cash for one because at least now I know. I had them in my cart for a good 2 months before finally pulling the trigger as well.

I'm totally in the minority here, but I use Ego LR atties on my Reo Grand with a 510/Ego adapter. I just think that the Ego LR is the best atomizer, period. It has a long life, perfect draw, I like the whistle tip mouthpiece and there's a much lower chance of getting juice in my mouth. Plus at 1.5 Ohms it hits hard and is very consistent. The only thing that sucks is that the adapter adds an additional escape route for the juice... so if I over feed it can cause a leak and doesn't get picked up in the juice cup as well as a 510 atty. But hell I don't even like sucking up juice through the cup with a 510...

Could you guys tell me what the "bridge" is? The difference between a bridgeless and a bridged atty?

Bridgeless: Bridgeless
Has no mesh "Bridge" over the Coil, excellent for dripping!
With Bridge: With Bridge
This is a 306, but just to show the mesh bridge over the coil. Historically used with carts to help with wicking the juice to the coil and wick. Still works with dripping, but holds more juice and is slightly more difficult to get the old flavour out.

Ok, That's what I thought. I just bought a high voltage atty from canvape.....didn't realize it was going to be different than the bridgeless one. I can still drip with it though? It's just not as convenient?
