Not me man, fourth day of ridiculous hours and this thing is still performing ridiculously well except for my previously noted flavor issues. I've cleaned it using H-bomb's instructions using IPA five or six times now switching flavors and no problems. Hrmm.
How big of a drop? You've soaked it and it's still doing it? -Magnus
what I am finding now is that the hits are very inconsistent. One good, one mediocre. It changes from hit to hit.
Just on the off-chance, did you look at the o-ring on your drip-tip? I doubt that's it but it's worth a look.. I had a favorite drip-tip that a small chunk of the o-ring was taken out and suddenly depending on how I put it in, it would cause a little pressure loss and inconsistent drags.
Otherwise I'm guessing you'll have to wait on H-bomb &| Cisco to chime in. -Magnus
Same here. Sometimes it appears to be better then I wont be able to get a good hit. Soaking again...
just found out that the mail depot in Springfield ma, miss-directed my atty's to Holyoke ma. , instead of Chicopee ma.........wtf.......next time i'm going to go N.Y. and pick it up myself.....that way it will be on my pv as soon as i pay for it....lol
i just give up... it gets here when it gets here.............ive been working on my scubage3 for afew days and i'm frustrated anyways...just let it all go for now....
man! vape the heck out of your atty, they are not like the others out there, take a harder or faster pull on them.. i got one that leaks and i chain vape on it , and it vapes like a work horse, tons of vape, only thing is that i can only drip 2 drops at a time. and in my opinion i dont wash it out , just VAPE on it. hit it like a .357 should be hit!. i have been loading this one for 2wks now
also its been stated here somewhere that the pg/vg ratio being used was 60/40, or 50/50. ..........if that helps
Just got my 357's an hour ago. After along wait and a couple of issues now I will see whats up with this atty. My initial impressions are:
1) Draw: The draw is perfect. Its air tight no air pulling in with the vapor. You do not have to pull so hard to get a good drag.
2) Leakage: None. I cant stand having to wipe down my atty all the time or it leaks on me.
3) Ohms: 1.5 like it should be
4) Voltage Out: This is on a Pro Vari. It works from 3.3-4.2 Volts. E2 at 4.3 Volts.
5) Throat hit: Good
6) Taste on inhale: Good
7) Warm Inhale: Good
8) Taste Exhale: Good
9) Vapor Production: OK. I believe it will get better. Let u know as it gets broke in.

Praise be to the vaping God's! Cam, I am so happy you got your HH .357's today and that your happy with the performance. Finally, a good reason to open that last bottle of homemade Blackberry wine. Thank you Cam!
I got my HH .357 today. Until now, I've just been one of the lurkers 
I literally have only used it for 5 minutes, but I'm liking what I am getting so far. I literally don't care for the Vapage atomizer.

First impressions/results...
Those are my results for the time being.
- Vapor production is massive
- TH is perfect for my juice
- No leakage as of yet
- Gets quite warm quite quickly
- Read exactly at 1.5Ω
- Voltage under load read at 3.52v (around 1:36am 8/8/2011)
- Voltage load on my bat read 3.82v (around 1:36am 8/8/2011)
- Sleeve is slightly narrower which makes the drip tip a nice but snug fit
- Short drags produce a good amount of vapor (less than 5 seconds)
- Long drags produce slightly less vapor (more than 5 seconds)
- Flavor is muted
- Using Minnesota Menthol at 25mg...70/30 pg/vg
- Utilizing 4 drops each time
- Vaping with it for approx 7 hours
- Flooded it around 4:30pm 8/8/2011 (most likely user error)
- Voltage under load read at 3.48v (around 4:56pm 8/8/2011)
- Voltage load on my bat read 3.80v (around 4:56pm 8/8/2011)
- Flavor still muted after 7 hours of use
- Vapor production still massive
- TH still perfect for my juice
Those are my results for the time being.

I received the HH357 on Saturday and after two days of vaping these are my impressions:
Throat Hit:
Probably the strongest throat hit I have experienced on any atomizers.
Flavor:
I would rate the flavor as about the same as on a LR306 a little muted on a 1.5Ohm atty. Maybe as Mike(MVGRATZ) said 2.0 ohms might be better.
Vapor:
Good strong vapor but not the best I have ever seen. I have some LR306 attys that produced much more vapor.
Problems:
This thing is just too easy to flood on my REO. I've been using REO mods for over a year and have never experienced this type of flooding on either a 306 or 510 atty. My thanks to Mike who suggested I use the reducing tube on the REO because it has helped. But all in all just a PITA.
Obviously I can't say anything yet about longevity I took a chance on this because I am tired of most LR306's getting tired after about tow weeks. For $21.99 I'm not convinced that this is the promised land of atomizers. Will continue to update this as time goes by.

@ Tripster:
What loaded voltage are you getting with a battery fully charged at 4.2V? Also, exactly which battery are you using? TIA.

I have yet to use a fully charged AW P18650 3.7v 2600mAh at 4.2v with the HH .357, the battery started at 4.09v if memory serves me correct.
Ahh, gotcha. Well, if you have a chance to test it when you recharge it, I would love to know the answer since that's the exact same battery I'm using for this atty most of the time along with AW 16340 IMRs. Thanks.
