Just bought 5 more HH.357 1.5ohm atties, 1 drip shield, some O rings and received them today. Kind of disappointed that they don't offer any discount code, free shipping, purchase points or any other way to save on them. When someone orders over a $120 worth of goods from a supplier, you would think they would at least throw in free shipping or something or am I just wrong to feel this way? I would be interested to know what others think and how they feel about this, has nothing to do with what the product is either, just the principle.

I've been using these 2 new atties since Wednesday, and they are both working really well for me. First is the 901 light draw 80% or higher VG @ 3.0 ohm/5V. I've been using Boba's Bounty, Gorilla juice and Raf-a-licious in it and the taste and throat hit are quite good. If you like a light draw, this is definitely worth trying out. It's very easy to tell when you need to add a few drops and it gives a really clean vape. I'll definitely be picking a few of these up soon.

The aero is a 1.5 ohm 306. IMO this is the best 306 atty I've tried. I'm not getting the leakage I usually get from a 306, although that may be more due to the new delrin mouthpiece I got for it. The flavor I get from it really stand out from some of the others I have tried, and it produces a nice warm vape . Along with plenty of TH. This one's a winner too.

I really love the HH357 line, and out of the 6-8 I have used I can honestly say I don't mind the heavy price tag on these babies at all. Every one of them has given me great life, flavor and TH, despite the first couple being abused while I learned how to drip with them.

If you use a wide bore hole drip tip it stop the spitting while breaking in the 357 once it is broken in it stops I had the same problem when I got my first one the wider the hole in the drip tip the better with a small hole it acts like a straw and its right over the coil making it spit

Thanks Brian for that drip tip tip. I prefer the shorter attys but sometimes when new, flooded, or after a cleaning I get the spitting. Now I just switch to my Cherry Vape Universal with its huge hole until it subsides. It's a cooler vape with such a long drip tip, but beats blisters.

I just fried an HH357. Totally my fault. I had my REO and my keys in the same jacket pocket. The keys managed to get on top of the REO button when I sat down and fired it until I smelled the burn. It still fires, and I knocked a big hunk of crusted juice off the top of the coil, but the burnt taste is extremely pronounced.

I'm giving it a good soak in PGA, but I don't know if it's going to be serviceable any more. It was my first 357 and I got 7+ weeks of outstanding performance out of it. No complaints at all. It was good enough to convince me to order more, so I've got a new one screwed onto my REO and I'm breaking it in now. I was curious as to what kind of life span the 357 had, and minus user error, mine was going strong after almost two months, including some initial abuse as I learned how best to vape it.

I know VV and carto tanks are very popular now, and I've got a set up for that, but my REO and the HH357 give me far and away the best vape I've had. Vaping is an evolving technology and I've had plenty of equipment that was touted as being "better" that simply wasn't. The HH357 is a true advancement, and it's the only atty I want any more.

I just can't sacrifice any more to the Fire (Button) god.

Bore out the hole in the drip tip to make it a wider opening. What Brian was saying is that the narrow opening created a sort of vacuum effect so the juice was more susceptible to get sucked up in your mouth.

I personally wasn't ready to mess with one of my DTs so I gutted an old 510 cartridge and it works beautifully.

I don't understand this. What are you doing to the drip tips and why do they stop spitting this way?

ya can also run the cherry vape universals with a ming or whatever you want on top of the universal, I have some of those set ups and they work fine, a bit long but provide a nice vape for a desk mod. The No Reflux Donut Trippy Tip however is super just nothing better that I have used, no juice come up these Donuts when you take a pull, these where my Beta idea for Bert to make up and boy did the guy do a super Job with these, the black/White one has a hole up top also to accept a 3mm feed tube for a Top feeder PV I got on the way should be a nice set up

ok, im bummed out bad. i had been running a 2.0 on my reo for the better part of a week and it was doing pretty darn good. im waiting on my 1.5 to get back to me that i sent in to hanna saturday before last so its back to 510s and 306s til then. i just cant figure out why this 2.0 went out. i had just cleaned it in everclear for like 25 minutes, blew it out very well and dripped 5 drops in it...put it on my reo and sqeezed a little more juice to the bottom. i got a very light puff then nothing.

just my own opinion here but water and or vodka or PGA isnt an Atty's best of friends, therefor when I do wash mine out I use a pga rinse then a hot water rinse then I blow em out and set them behind the fan on my laptop to dry them out, then once dry I re-prime with about 6 drops of PG/VG Mix. Check it with my meter and know I'm good to go. I wont wash mine then put right on a mod and use them because of the water or pga/vodka that can still be in them, it could cause a short in my opinion and you could get that little nasty puff of smoke then dead it is.

Simply put your meter on it and you will know immediately ! if ya dont have one, dry it up a bit with your hairdryer, but not blowing a ton of air in it just on low and hold the atty back a bit, once nice and dry put some VG/PG or juice in it, then try to fire, if no fire pitch it

How are the innards of the CV Universal? Is the bottom portion just one big hollow tube that would allow one to drip straight through without worrying about getting juice on the sides?

Yes it is a hollow tube with the top/mouth piece similar to their Cannon. The hole is big enough to go over a 306 yet fits in a 510. It is rather long sticking out. I'll take a picture and add it here later.


Here is what the Universal looks like.

Here it is on a regular short HH357 next to a long barrel with a Cherry Vape Pawn.

On a Cisco 306 next to the Cannon.

And lastly as mwa102464 suggested with a Pawn (don't have a Ming:() on top of the Universal. Seems like overkill and silly long, but it does work.

I may have missed this in the 1500 and something posts. I running it on a Silver Bullet @ 3.7 volts and using 70%pg 30%vg (My own blend) It leaks just throwing one drop in and since I am only putting one drop in I can only get a couple puffs. Should I try more VG I really like the way I have my juice. I have tried the bang on the table thing it don't seem to work either.. Any tips would be helpful.
