I'm currently using 2 different PVs with the followings:

1. Ego 650mah standard kit from LF.
- BOGE 510 cartomizers from litecigusa (i like it alot but performs poorly after cleaning)
- Original atty + drip tip (so so, faint taste, little vapor)
- LR 510 atty + drip tip (atty from FSUSA, sore throat big time, harsh hits)

2. V4L PT
- Coolcarts (~3.6 ohms, smooth hits, nice vapor and great taste)

I prefer the flavors, vapor and smooth TH from V4L PT. I believe the PT is a 5v, I could be wrong. I really like to get something to replicate the vaping experience from it and allows me to be away from my PC.

This is where i need help :) Still new at this so I'm not sure which direction to go.

Should I get a 5v mod with HR cartos or use the ego but with different atty? If continue to use the ego, which atty should I try? The LR atty i'm using right now gives me sore throat. I can't chain vape :oops: . However, if there is a big difference among LR attys.. I'll give it a shot. Just need some help where to look. I read a thread about Cisco LR 510s, but seems like no vendors have them in stock.

I only got this atty for 2 days, in case it makes a difference. Juices I'm using with the PT and Ego are BWB honey flue, Applewood and FSUSA Hopscotch... all 24mg.

Any help is appreciated. TIA.

try a Cisco LR306 Atty for your ego, but know you will need a 306 drip tip also, the cisco lr306 get alot hotter and are saposed to work alot better, also try to remove the wick and bridge from your attys (only if you drip tho) this also helps with flavor and hits...try it out...what have you got to lose right, it worked well for me, i always remove the bridge and wicks these days, just seem alot alot alot better

My only comment would be if the 510 LR was too much TH, the 306 may be also. But then again, I don't get TH period. You may want to consider a LR 901 or even LR 801 shorty.

I also find I prefer using my 501 and 306 LRs with juices like tobaccos, but 801 and BE112 LRs with fruits and sweets. Attys are much cheaper than mods. Once you discover which attys you prefer, it may help you narrow down what mods you'd likely prefer.

I 'believe" IkenVape's LR and HV attys are Cisco spec'ed.

Go for a 5v mod, or a 3.7v mod.

The reason being that eGo's don't really have enough amperage, or a strong enough switch, to run LR's safely, and some people experience battery failures as a result of that, including myself.

Others have no problems. But if you try it, understand you may kill the battery, especially if you vape a lot.

With a mod, you can put in a battery with higher amperage and a better switch that can handle the stress of an LR.

If you're talking mod I think this is where variable voltage really shines. Probably a good idea to narrow down what you like a little more and maybe avoid the cost of a mod, but if you're going to buy one consider vv.

I think it may be less helpful for the veteran vapers out there. They spent the time and effort finding the voltage they liked and the atties/cartos that matched that voltage. They also probably adapted their vaping style to match the equipment, and unconsciously, their tastes probably changed a bit as well. The brand of smokes you tended to like were the ones you smoked. They were what you were used to. I think vaping can be that way too.

Newer folks like me are in a different situation. I didn't really know what voltage paired to which atty I liked, and it was going to cost a lot to find that out. My vaping preference was changing (still is actually), and I was afraid even if I found that perfect combo, three or four months down the road it wouldn‘t be so perfect.

Considering all this, the ability to turn a screw or dial and adjust the equipment to meet my preferences just seemed to be the way to go. I should really end this post. I have a fan boy anonymous meeting early tomorrow.

It is strange.. I try VB's Pina Colada 18mg 80%pg juice today on LR 510 and almost no TH. I was reluctant at first knowing it was mostly PG. Maybe the Nic content plays a higher role with TH than pg/vg, or mainly just because it's a different flavor. :confused:

I'll definitely play with different attys to find what combo is best for me. I'll get one of each and will get to the bottom of this.. if there is such thing. :)

Go for a 5v mod, or a 3.7v mod.

I have ordered a REO, maybe I'll get it in a week or two. I believe it is 3.7v I'll definitely use the LR with it and will keep using reg cartos with the ego. It is just right now the cartos started to taste stinky. :blush: The ones i washed don't hold juices very well. If i can't improve with cleaning them it'll be an expensive route in the long run.

Which VV are you using? I looked into Saber Touch VV but didn't compare to any other ones.

Before going to the expense of a mod, try buying an XL manual from V4L. To me its the same, (almost if not exactly) as there PT and it will last all day with fairly heavy vaping. Stick with your cool cart at first, this should do the trick.

I have try the XL. I don't get the same warm hits as the PT however. I like it alot and one battery last me about 6 hours.

I have a Buzz and like it a lot. Been using it exclusively for just over four months and haven't had any problems at all. Well, at least with the Buzz, lol, juice is another story. There are new models on or comming on the market though. Shop around. If you decide on the Buzz (or the new model comming from Notcigs), imho you can count on a quality, reliable product. I've heard good thing about some of the other models as well, but don't have any first hand experience with them.

Anyway, good luck
