I hear ya my good man. I guess someone taught me well. I would sure like folks to have similar results but alas I am lost wrt what they may be doing wrong if anything. We know liquids play a big factor but then again liquids are only part of the equation.

With each Carto and atty and PV having different outcomes because of juice, vaping style and Oh yes user it's amazing people find it's not a one size fits all thing.
I know you know what your talking about Switcher and on the hard ones your the one I seek out for information.

Like I said before, there are those that want answers to their problems and questions and there are those that just like to argue. Don't believe me go spend some time in the outside forum.

Switcher, what % pg/vg juice do you primarily vape? I vape the whole spectrum of possibilities at certain times. I personally, have found that I get great vapor with 50/50 on the i06 lr's. I vape reos only, and with each short squeeze of the feeder bottle I get ~7-8 really flavorful hits. I get ~10-12 total before the atty gives the tell-tell "feed-me" flavor right before the natsty harsh, hot hit. (I avoid every getting this if at all humanly possible since I believe at that point damage is occurring to the coils). With no way to actually gauge the amount of juice thats fed with a short squeeze other than a guestimate I assume its somewhere between 1 and 2 drops "worth". That would make my "amount of vapes per/drop" right about what your getting from yours. Not to compare other attys with the i06, BUT I definitley get more vapes (and more flavorful vapes) per "squeeze" out of these than any of the others I have used. Given the "lack of excess wicking material" in these attys I find that fact to be impressive. I assume it has to do with the larger physical size of the attys themselves.

To get back on the topic I have been using 4 of 6 lrs ~18 hours each day since receiving them (10 days ago). Of course, with 4 reos in rotation, they aren't getting used to the point of "over-heating" them. I vape ~6-9mls/day. Nontheless, I have experienced almost flawless performance from each of them. Only issues at all I have had were the 2 of my 6 that came "clogged" (for lack of a better explanation/word) They were way too hard to draw air through. Almost as if the bottom wicking material is closing off the hole. New atty, new design...I expect some errors in the quality control till they have been in production for a couple of runs. Will this stop me from ordering more? Hell no! For a "consumable/disposable" part, the price is right and the performance far exceeds what I get out of "higher priced" so called "performance attys" that I have tried. Perfect? No, but nothing ever is. I have no illusions of finding a "perfect atty", BUT so far these fit the bill as the best I have used for my personal vaping style. YMMV!

NOW... Issac needs to just restock'em after catching up on his orders! :2cool:

Mike,

I vape my own liquid which is 100% VG cut with 20% distilled water and 12.5-15% flavouring. As you see in the video there is allot of room left before I redrip. Usually it is around 18 hits with the IO6. Normal atties fed at 2 drops 10-12 hits with 8-10 on HV. The HV IO6 I find myself around 8 hits before refreshing. When I have been drinking I have a tendency to over drip :lol:

That explains the clouds of vapor! I've been making and vaping my own since Febuary (for the most part). I can definitley relate to the vaping more while indulging in adult beverages. Last night I went through 12mls which is more than I usually vape all day long. I'm sure the crown royal had something to do with that :facepalm: (The 2 reos I had in use with i06's preformed flawlessly) I'm sure I must have had to blow excess juice out of the attys at least 20 times over the course of the evening. I tend to overfeed mine when drinking as well. Thankfully my i06's can take some abuse and keep on cooking. :2cool:

Ab357,
I apologize if my previous comment was inacurate or naive. In all reality that comment was designed for Wacky Dee. I actually do not know why I began the message with both your name and his because as you can see each segment of my response was tailored to adress his comments and his comments only. I did not mean to aim the idea of flooding atomizers at you. Nevertheless, I found the information you provided very useful.

I recreated your test with 9 drops. I found that some of the excess liquid would leak out, and that the atomizer preformed mostly fine except for the fact that it seemed to heat up at a significantly higher rate. This leads me to believe that adding excess liquid still may or may not be part of the problem regardless of the type of atomizer you use or how you use it.

I'm a 1/2 hr from going into day 17 I believe with my Iken LR i06 the dam thing is hitting like new, still using it at 3.8 on my Provari dripping approx 5-7 ML's a day into the I06 every day. I'm not joking this dam I06 is a pretty amazing Atty for me. The dam thing has also turned me into even more of A dripping fool than I already was :laugh: but in reality I'm just getting plumes of some great tasting vapor from this dam i06 and nothing else gives me this consistent vape from any other Atty so not much more I can say other than the i06 ROCKS THE HOUSE DOWN !!! Thanks Issac

Edit; 100% VG Juice being used in my i06

Edit #2 Switcher I'm getting the same dam performance as you are with 3-4 drips of juice, not only does this Atty reak of the strongest dam performance and flavor over other Atty's but the amount of juice that I am saving over old type of Attys I once used is AMAZING ! Issac was kind enough ( As Always ) to send me 2 of these Attys for Beta testing, I still have not even broken out the HV Atty which was one of the 2 he sent me to Beta test. I kind of feel bad about that but MY GAWD this 1.8ohm i06 is just UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING !

OK Guyz curiosity was killing the cat here and I just had to break out my HV-I06 now. I put it on my Provari and loaded it with some 100% VG Organic Green Apple juice. I started it out @ 5.6V on my Provari dripping into it with 8 drops to prime it good. ( much less in drops then I normally use to prime an Atty ) I started vaping and wow just WOW, MAJOR MAJOR Vapor plumes and especially great flavor witch kind of surprised me actually how much flavor I'm getting from this Atty!!!

It seems to me way more flavor than a 510 which I normally use and above 5.5 most juices in my opinion star to get muted a little bit and at 6v they get muted more, this just isn't happening at 5.6v so far. Keep in mind I haven't got to 6v yet but right off the Batt I know for a fact I'm getting more flavor than my normal Iken HV-510 which has always been my favorite Atty ( up until now that is ) I found my new dam Atty's in these i06 little Monsters !!! These I06 Atty's are really something, are guy " The I man " has done it once again, " The I Man "= Issac,, continues to lead the pact with Atty's and we are all very lucky to have this guy in the vaping community who continually has a passion to provide all of us with these dynamite cartos/Atty's and god only knows what he is working on next but I will guarantee you one thing, when he puts it out there it shall be excellent for all of us as these I06's are !!!

Thanks once Again Issac you continue to amaze me and many others I'm sure with all you do for us buddy !

I'll be a SOB~ I just vaped along with Switch and didn't miss a beat....... until after the 5 second hit. I didn't feel the need to choke :)


Done pondering . . . . .

:lol: and that was 8mg liquid. Who says TH comes from mg content. It definitely helps for sure but VP density also adds to TH in my opinion.

My impression of the LR i06 after 3 days on a 3.7 BF device, using Halo juice. Must say I'm all about flavor and least about TH. My only other experience w/306 is a hybrid, so take that into consideration. I do however love the 801 mini and what prompted me into trying these based on Isaac's comments.

First, I got the nasty taste like many have reported. I also noticed it on the hybrid which has a lot of SS mesh. Could that be the source?

Leaking......none.

Vapor, holy cow! Doubtful stealth vaping is an option here unless you can hold your breath a long time.

TH, incredible. Too much for my desires. I'd do better with this atty in a SR version.

Draw is about as perfect as can be and consistent every time.

Flavor......meh. I did not find these anywhere close to the flavor an 801 mini can produce.

I will stick with the minis for now. :)
