Also, and I'm not complaining here just looking for some advice. I had a 2.0 ohm 357 that I used for about three weeks. Absolutely loved it. I think i cleaned it twice in three weeks and it worked fantastically every time. At one point I took it off my Reo Grand to do a general clean up of things, and when I put it back on it was dead. It had worked perfectly just 5 minutes prior, and I did nothing to the atty except unscrew it from the Reo then put it straight back on after giving the Reo a wipe down. I didn't hear a pop or anything, just dead. I metered it and it read 0, gave it a prolonged alchy bath and the usual start up procedure but still no dice. I kept it around for a few days praying that it would come back to life but eventually threw it away. That was about two weeks ago. I have not pulled the trigger on a new one simply because I would have hoped to get a little more life out of it, especially with some of the claims I have read about its longevity, but I am REALLY starting to miss it. So if you were me, would you go ahead and purchase another one or wait for some announcement on the 357 front? I am very interested in what you have to offer, but I don't want to go too long searching for the perfect vape.

I would buy another for sure, but then I have about 20 of these. I just have not found anything I like more. I would only wait if you are looking for something specific that is different.

What are you looking for that would be different?

Well, nothing really, just thought with the announcement and speculation as of late there might be something better, or at least the latest and greatest.

i had one of mine die, when i dropped it, it didnt fire any more , so i dropped it again and it worked and still is, its been over a couple of months ago

Someone on another thread mentioned your experience so I tried dropping mine a couple of times as a last ditch effort, but alas my experience was not as happy as yours.

hildicat, I think the new improvements are going to mostly focus on sizes, and maybe ones to use with different kinds of juices. I think he is also considering different ohm's I am not really sure as Hannah has not really announced that yet. I am just going off what he has said in this thread.

I am sure he will announce when he has info and/or is ready with the product. The tanks seem to be the newest innovation that people are looking forward to.

As you guys have known, with Hanna being a Massachusetts resident I no longer get the chance to help him, but I did get to try some of the prototypes right before the move and the tanks.

All I have to say is if you've been impressed lately, just wait until the tank comes out. Because its the best vape I've ever had!!

And Hanna hit me up later, I needs a tank when theyre finished too ;)

I would say the mistake made here is throwing it away, 3 weeks is really the cutoff for replacement but after two weeks if it went dead and the coil was still decent looking i would have replaced it for you.

Of course i would encourage you to purchase another one and I hope you woill contact me with any issues you have with it.

even if it has been over three weeks if I determine that it was a defect I WILL replace it. I had one replacement after a little over a month, because after i looked at the atty it was obvious that one of the wires inside had broke.

Thanks H. I paused a bit before tossing it but didn't think I had a leg to stand on asking for a replacement. That was before I discovered this thread. I know better now.

3 weeks? I hope this doesn't apply to international customers, because if so this will have been my last batch of HHs (it sometimes takes longer than that for them to actually reach me)!!!

H_Bomb, been a few days since I started using the 1.5ohm long barrel and I did manage to find one thing I hate.

I am getting nic sick from over use.:laugh:

Today is the first cleaning, using 190proof everclear in a syringe and will follow the "never allow atty to dry out" rule. So far it has been working very well, vapor production is better today than it was on the first day. Flavor is cleaner than I had expected, no strange "306" like taste and the flavor seems consistent.

Still haven't touched the other 2 atties but now that I see the 3 week warning, I guess I will have to soon.

thanks! I didnt lie anyway so I did not feel bad about this post. I totally admitted using a toothpick to try to clean them. I am sometimes TOO honest :) As I told you, I would not even know what to do with these if I took them apart. I am surprised I am intelligent enough to get through my day sometimes......

thanks for clearing that up though. You rule.
