I got three of the LR i06 to try, hopefully to tide me over untill the LR306 come back in stock.

I like the shape of the DT, it's very comfortable for me to use. I'd prefer a translucent DT, but I assume they'll be available down the road sometime. The hole is a little small. I have sucked up some juice but I think it's when trying to drip right down the center. When trying to drip down the (in)side of the tip, I haven't had any juice sticking in the hole.

The actual function of this atty differs from the IKV LR306 that I'm used to, so I haven't mastered it yet; these are only first impressions. TH is very nice; a bit more than what I'm used to but not too much. Vapor, when properly filled, is VERY nice; again, probably a bit more than I'm used to.

Flavor: I didn't check my first atty for primer; I should have. After my first hit, everything tasted like soap to me. After dealing with this for a little while, I got smart, blew out the juice that was in there and refilled. The soapy taste was much fainter and went away pretty quickly. I don't know if this is from primer, break in period, or it was just bringing out flavors in my juice I'd never tasted before, but it does seem to have gone away. Flavor is now pretty good, I'd say not quite as good as the IKV LR306, but it may not be fully broken in yet.

So far, I don't feel that a fill on these lasts as long as the 306, but that may be due to my still learning how to properly use this atty.

As far as 3 drops lasting one whole vaping session... some days I've had a vaping session run from 7am to midnight.

Bottom line, these attys do seems quite efficient at turning juice into vapor. I haven't had any leaking yet and am happy with their performance.

Will they replace the IKV306 as my favorite atty? Jury's still out on that one but the io6 is the only atty in the running.

Well package #1 arrived a few minutes ago with 3 io6 lr's and a io6 dt. I always check resistances with 2 multimeters because I'm also very annal about that. (I'm possitive that 15 years of Electronics experience qualifies my to give valid readings given also that one of my mm's is a $500 Fluke) 2 were 1.8Ω and 1 1.9Ω. Perfect imo. Way too soon to form a firm conclussion, but thus far I'm really liking the vape on a reo grand with a fresh 3.7v aw imr... Lots of vapor, very nice th (even with a sweet 50/50 waffle juice at 20mg) What impresses me above the vapor and th is that "most" 1.8Ω attys tend to mute out the flavor of this particular juice I am testing with. This one is allowing the flavor to come through sparkling clear. I'm looking forward to seeing how it hits when its broken in a little while. Also very much looking forward to the arrival of the 3.5Ω hv versions. The dt that I received fits very snug on the first atty I tried. NO leakage of any kind noted thus far... I'll add more later when I have a little more time with this promising atty.

Edit... LOVE the draw on this atty and drip tip combo Issac! As close to ideal replication of taking a drag off a filtered cigarette as I have experienced in the last 8+ months

2nd Edit... The taste and vapor production rival the best lr 306 I've ever used. These work fantastic on a juice fed mod.

Mine metered at 1.8 on a ProVari. For now I am using it at only 3.5v because it seems I can burn out any 306, even a HH.357. How many drops are you guys putting in at first use and then on refills? I use 70/30 PG.

Issac was kind enough ( As usual ) to send me some goodies to Beta test and I received them a few days ago but didn't want to say anything until I put some things through there paces. I will start with my LR I06 Attys which metered in at 1.8ohm. I have been running them on my Provari and dripping into them to start because I know this unit gives me the same constant voltage to the Atty throughout my vape. I usually always vape +2v-2.2v over whatever my Atty ohms are so 1.8ohm = 3.8v-4.0v vape for me except on Issacs HV 3.5ohm Atty's I run them at 5.8v - 6v anyways as for the LR 1.8ohm i06 ( 306) Atty, I have been dripping at 3.8V and have been on this 1 same Atty for about 3 days now, it has continued to give me a superior vape with great flavor throughout these 3 days and continues to do so. Also as for Atty's Issac's they still rule over any other vendors in my book and I will continue to only purchase his because of the longevity of them being the best and how much work he puts into making sure they are !

I put 5 to begin with and let it sit for a while then before I started I added another 3 drops. I believe that I over did it though so maybe 4 drops let it sit and then 2 more before you start. It really is hard to say exactly how many drops because the drops from my bottle might be larger or smaller than your drops but figured it doesnt hurt to share my experience. Once I got it vaping right I just redrip 3 drops to maintain.

When you get a normal atty, lets say 510, you may or may not notice that there is a small amount of fibers that are outside of the coil and tucked into the bridge, there is also a small wick that the coil itself is wrapped around. When an atomizer is advertised as wickless then it only means that there is no outer wick(the portion that is tucked in the bridge. I myself have never ever seen an atomizer that had a coil without wick inside of it. I could be wrong but I am quite certain that if people believe otherwise then they just cant see it or are mistaken. Not trying to argue, I am just stating my experience. Wickless means no wick in the bridge.

I know that this has already been determined but my Io6 had a couple strands outside the coil, just looks like the wick that the coil was wrapped around was left a little long but I just pushed it aside and vaped away.

My experience with the Io6, I got mine yesterday afternoon. It took most of last night to get it broke in but by the end of the night it was vaping great. I tried to use it on my glv supermini first but the new style connector on the glv's have a nipple that sticks out and goes into the bottom hole of an atty so the draw was incredibly tight, since the glv has an adjustable center post I may try to move it down and try again. Anyways as soon as I screwed it on another mod the draw was instantly cured. I am really enjoying the draw, the draw is close to best that I have had in an atomizer. During the break in period the throat hit was lacking, so much so that I thought I may have gotten a HV one, but keep in mind this is a new atty that I have never dealt with before so maybe I was just over doing it with the liquid. Now the I have gotten the hang of using it, the throat hit is very satisfying for my vaping style, I actually think that it might be a bit much for some people. For those wondering, mine metered at 1.9. The flavor for me is somewhere between a 306 and a 510 but I have hopes that it may blossom some more with more use. Overall I am pretty impressed with this atty, I think that a lot of people are gonna be converted to the Io6 once word gets around. Also, I have not had any leaking issues at all, so far so good. The drip tip is actually has an outer diameter that is thicker than a standard 510 which may or may not cause issues with use on certain mods, One I can think of would be the adjustable draw cap on a ggts. The drip hole is a bit smaller then I am used to but I have not had hang ups with the liquid I am using. Remember, these are my thoughts and my thoughts/opinions only and I do not claim to be an expert.

So, I wanted to check to see if the precise tight tolerances would cause problems with the io6, mostly I was checking to see if the diameter of the drip tip would prohibit the atty from screwing down completely, it does screw all the way down but it seems like it seals off what little airflow that the precise has so the draw is extremely tight on it, not sure if a slot on the positive post on the atty would be a solution but its a thought.

Sorry to hear it doesn't do well with the GLV (at the moment) wrt the P18 I believe it's because of the unique recess in the device itself were a normal 510 sits inside the counterbore. This is cool for a 510 because air can still be drawn in from the top. Not so with the IO6 because the DT completly seals the top since its outside diameter covers the airway entirely. I will have to see if I can find a cure once mine get here. A 510-501 adapter will cure this problem (pretty sure)

Bold text good points to note

Well I have a LR and HV each with about 8 hours of chain vaping on them and these things are awesome.Flavor and vapor is better than when I started and no sign of the draw on either getting stiff(I'm vaping 70pg/30vg KBV sweet juices).I can only hope that they are as long lasting as some of my other IKV attys.I bought 6 just in case but I think these are gonna last a long time if taken care of.I've been using the LR at 4 volts and the HR at my BuzzPro's max of 5.6 volts.I pushed the HV to 6.5 volts on my power supply passthru and it was too warm for me but the flavor was still great.I will be using these a lot to see how long they last,great product Iken.

Thanks for sharing. Interesting observation as usually Isaac insist on them being shipped dry.

This is something that I experienced as well but kinda thought it was just me, but like you said, I blew it out and the taste went away. Your description of soap is very close to what I would describe it as, I was thinking some kind of cleaner but soap is a better description, its weird because it wasnt totally disgusting it was just strange but all is well now. Got me wondering what is causing that if there is not suppose to be primer. Out of curiousity what juice was it that you were using to break it in?

Still using my sole i06 and its hittin the back of my throat just right every time now. Really enjoying it.

sound all good...one week and count down.......

Yeah if I had an extra i06 drip tip I would try to mod it to allow use of 510 drip tips but I only ordered one and am worried I would mess it up.

At what voltage?

 

[mwa102464]

I'm on day 4 dripping at 3.8V and my i06 is cranking it out and performing flawlessly with nothing but thick white plumes of some great tasting vapor ! enough said, Winner all the way !!! Is there a 510 version coming next Issac ???

 

[atavanhalen]

At what voltage?

Roughly 4 volts, on a AW high drain 18350.

 

[mwa102464]

Yup 3.8-4.0V is just the right number depending on what yours ohm in at, these are running very good for me !

 

[Chornbro]

Really? All of my ikenvape atties seem to come primed... io6 included...

 

[5cardstud]

That's about where I'm running them at.
Not being a dripper (too much drama) I can't believe how good these are though. I haven't had one drop leak out anywhere and it hits great every time. Not being a dripper took me a minute to get it set up and find the right voltage to use but with Isaac's instructions it was easy. On the occasions that I do drip I will definitely use this atty.

 

[emonty]

can you share those instructions please, or are they included with the atties?

They're in this thread directly from Ike... look back a lil bit
