so I thought I was having a issue with my darwin but now I think it is an issue with my hh .357's

no matter what I set my darwin at I get the same readings. 3.6 2.4 1.4

why won't it change based on what I set it at?

 

[Abubika]

I've read the cleaning procedure on these. In terms of using vodka, just a vodka soaking? Or can I use it with Vodka and ultrasonic cleaner like i do all other attys? I love my HH .357 by the way....vapor machine. Good flavor...crazy throat hit.

Thanks,
Adam

I'm very glad your enjoying it, I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner so I've never used one but I think other people on her have and it wasn't a problem.

And OB if you could pm me we can try and get this fiqured out

 

[MagnusEunson]

I think I might hold out for 2.0ohm & the new s....erific tubes too. Maybe I do need some 2.5s though. Hrmm. -Magnus

Aww snap new toys!!

I'm def getting in on these 2.5's!! Even tho I still have a brand new 1.5 in the box and 2 1.5's in rotation.

I've found that with my extra flavor, sweet, dark juice that I have to 91% iso soak each atty once a day. I put a fresh clean one on in the morning, then when my juice bogs it down the hit quality in the afternoon I switch to the other fresh clean one. Then I soak that one overnight. But now I am not cursing this atty and it hits like a champ 99% of the time!

I can't wait to be able to get a little lower than my 1.5 hits on the lowest Buzz Pro setting. Its good but I could prob use a lil less

I should be good on atty's for a dam year+ lol

Glad to see you got your cleaning schedule worked out JD, most people wouldn't even consider cleaning their atomizers at all never mind once a day.

A dirty atomizer performs like poo, the wicking gets clogged, the air flow is not optimum, the coil heats unevenly, and could start to leak. If its under performing, clean it, no matter how much time has gone by from your last cleaning, this holds true for any atomizer. If it's cleaned often enough ( use and juice dependent) a quick soak and blow out is all it needs, if you let it go to far it will get to the point were cleaning wont help. If the carbon build up on the coil gets to heavy, you went beyond the point of no return and it will work like crap and probably go cold.

cisco, can you comment on my issue? I would appreciate some advice. abubika is trying to help me as well.

Is the 357 the only one of the Cisco attys you blow out from the connector end or all of them?

If you can check the atomizer on a meter and/or another device and it reads 1.4ohm and it works it could be a Darwin issue. Have you put any other LR atomizers on the Darwin to see if you're getting the same issues? There is nothing in this atomizers circuit path other than a Ni Chrome coil, if it reads correct on a meter its functioning

Just the 357's need to blown out in the proper direction. Personally I blow then all out from the connector, better to blow the gunk out the larger mouth piece side than trying to force it all out through the small holes on the connector end.

I tried thes atties and am sad to say that I am one who had a bad experience with them. I am sure most of my problems were user error, but after three days of either very harsh TH with little to no vapor or juice in my mouth, the atty died when I tried blowing it out like the instructions said. I think I will just stick with the cisco 306's or 510's from here on out. I get great vapor and outstanding flavor from them and can buy 2 for the price of the HH357 and still have a little change.

yes. I put one of your 2.0 306's on there and it did what it was supposed to. all the 357's do the same thing. I need someone who has a darwin and 357's to tell me what they think. It has been this was since the beginning. I have 4 and as far as I can tell, they all do the same thing. same readings no matter where I set it.

ps I have two darwins and the same thing happens on both.

 

[unsure]

Well FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Day 2 and now its working like the Video. I was getting really frustrated in the beginning and almost tossed it aside and reordered my normal Ciscos LR510s. From the beginning sticking to the instructions to a TEE the 6 drops flooded it bigtime so blew it off from the connector side and started again with just 3 drops. That worked better. Then it was getting use to the the amount of juice to feed it...too little less vapor and extremely harsh...too much and flooded. Slowly thru out the day I got better and better squonking the right amount of juice from my REO and today it working great. It took a day to break in this atty and to break in ME on using it but it finally happened.

Are you able to meter the 357 or put another 1.5ohm atomizer on the Darwin? Makes absolutely no sense at all why it would do that, it still sounds like the issue is with the Darwin output. I have a Darwin here that has no issues at all with the output on a 357 or any LR 1.5, I can kick it up to 12.7watts, 3amps, 4.3v and it works without issues, not that I would vape at those levels but all the numbers read true.

Glad to hear unsure,

There is a smaller window of optimum operation with the 357's, some if not most of the problems I see people having is trying to use their current dripping /drag habits. There is a learning curve and once you find the adjustment that fits your vaping style its like winning the lottery...

Definitely an advanced user product without question.

Thanks for the response. Would you say this sounds normal considering my juice? I'm not doing the attys any harm by soaking once a day am I?

Anyone else notice a need for soaking more often?

Cleaning will be different for everyone, to many factors are in play here, everyone will have to figure this out on their own, or just clean them regularly. I use a low % vg light colored juice and I clean mine every 2-3 days, before it starts to under perform. Darker, heavy vg, and high sugar content juices might very well need to be cleaned ever day or every other day. Those type of juices create carbon build up pretty quick, it all depends on how much liquid you vape per day and how hard you hit the atomizer.

I scope up Vodka with the atomizer, initially it drips out the connector after 3 or 4 scopes it starts flowing out the connector in a continuous stream, I blow it out and juice it up. I could probably go a week without cleaning. Once you get build up on the coil its hard to get them back 100% unless you dry burn, and we all know how dangerous/costly that can be.

I just wanted to toss in I hope to see more sealed connector 357's, hopefully in 2.0ohm ROFL!! The first ones never leaked a DROP in over 3 weeks of use I believe. I'm breaking in one with open connector and of course had to go back to wiping. My OCD really likes those sealed bad boys, I had forgot all about having to wipe lol.

 

[unsure]

Was there a answer given if a ultrasonic cleaner is ok to use on the HH.357?

I don't see why it wouldn't be as long as you blow it out from the battery end...
