{edit} After four hours of moderate use the TH and flavor have increased significantly.

Using 24mg VG juice.


No leaking here with the 4 lr's I've got in use. 2 were extremely hard to vape, and unusable... Meaning they felt like the air intake hole and/or center hole are "clogged". (Didn't want to screw around poking the atty with anything and screwing up the coils so I just sat those aside) The other 4 are perfect imo... Ready for another order for sure. The flavor of sweet juices with the lr and a fresh aw imr 3.7v batt (4.2v) is fantastic. I have a strong feeling these will be my new go-to's...:2cool:

I just opened my two Lr i06 this morning and first time try of H.357 all three on virtually identical REO Mini, same 3.7 AW IMR 14500, and same juice in all three.I, also, have my REO Grand loaded, 3.7v 18650, same juice, with just broken in LR 1.5 510, for comparison. Juice is CCV Werthers VG but not really thick; not my favorite juice and could use some extra flavor, as one of my go Juices is COV Butterscotch that is really strong. (If I was an RY4 lover, which I am not, and I've tried lots, IKV RY4 would be my favorite out of all I've tried. It is one of the few RY4 I can vape, if I have to. Sorry, I'm just not an RY4 lover.)

Mike one of my i06 was almost closed it was so stiff. I sent an email to Isaac, this morning, and I got a shipping notice that a package is on it's way from IKV so I'm assuming it is a replacement. I haven't heard back, email, from Isaac yet, but I offered to send the bad one back in case he wanted to check it out.

I've only vaped a total of two hours splitting my vaping between three bottom fed REOs. It is not so easy to detect atty leaking on a bottom feeder with good sized catch cup but it doesn't appear that the i06 is leaking.

I am really sensitive to any primer or "new taste" and that can ruin a whole day of vaping for me if I don't first clean all new attys/cartos. I used to boil but now I do PGA or 90+ % Iso, in sonic cleaner, for new and cleaning used ones. I did not preclean the i06s or H.357. There doesn't seem to be much, if at all, primer in the i06 but I did blow them out. At this time I and my taste buds, eyes, nose, skin are affected by the smoke from Texas wild fires so if there is any "soapy" taste" my "sensors" may be handicapped, at this time.

I do one or two soft pulls or a total of 2,5-3 seconds but usually wait 30-60 seconds between each draw. I'm hardly having to squonk=feed the atty; probably every 10 tokes or more.

The draw is virtually perfect, vapor phenomenal, and TH, at this time (very early use of new atty) is about average. I expect TH to increase. The juice I'm using does not give as much TH as other juices I use.

I'm impressed. I expect to be even more impressed as the i06 become a little more broken in.

The ultimate pleasure would be a Cheery Vape DT and even more so a pyrex DT that takes regular 306 to the the "be all, end all."

I'm an experienced 306 user and love them so much I have 10 X CV Canons and 4 X 306 Pyrex DTs. Attys, around my household, virtually don't get killed rather they have long lives and eventually get "long in the tooth" and retired to the "extreme emergency" box, after many, many months of rotated use and cleaning when needed. We use light colored juices, 50/50 VG/PG all the way to 100% VG (except for some 100% juices that have some PG in the flavorants). I always use sweet and DH always uses tobacco. So longevity will be compared to many other well used and long lived attys, many of which are IKV. I usually have one IKV 801 going and I have about 30 of them different ohm ranges and sizes and they are such "tanks" it's hard to kill them even trying.

Will report back with more vape time under this little marvel's belt.

:thumbs:Two Thumbs Up. Great job Isaac.

It gets extremely frustrating to constantly substantiate my claims on a nearly daily basis. For those who know me know I don't post BS.

I am here to help folks as much as I can. I don't have to prove anything, but I do get my knickers in a twist when someone seems to doubt my written word. Remember folks I do not have to post or help people.



I don't get POed at the comments, I get POed at the folks that refuse to admit that perhaps they could be doing something wrong.

If a picture is worth 1K words then a video is worth 1M. Will folks finally concede that perhaps, just perhaps Switcher knows what he is talking about?


I just wrote about my short time, first day, using LR i06. I had just been up from sleeping (up all night to keep watch because of wild fire potential). I think I was wrong about something.......

I"m probably getting 15-20 tokes, or more, before having to bottom feed that atty. I use the "blind squonk" method of feeding atty which is, gently draw, without power, while barely squeezing bottle, until the pull resistance changes slightly. Then start vaping.

Never said electrical current is different but there has been quite a few reports about atties changing resistance on them. I do not have an explanation for that. All I know is that it has been reported (and not just here). I don't know I do not own one, but then again I never experienced what folks seem to be experiencing on their Provari's with any of my PVs???

I've had a new black Provari, for many months, but never even used it yet as IkV attys and great Bottom feeder is the ultimate, hassle free vape for a time stressed person. I will say though, I'll be using Isaac's cartos on the Provari as that is just too convenient. I dripped for months before getting my first premium bottom feeder. Dripping is too much hassle!!!!!! and dangerous while driving. I drip, only, testing juices. I don't understand why anyone drips with all the great options now days.:confused:

Hey loft,

I cant say the longest Atty as of yet for me, as I've had ones that have lasted for 5-6 months before ( Ikens of course ) but I will say I'm thinking these i06's may be the leaders to longevity as I'm keeping track on these bad boyz and as far as vapor production they too are right up top ! I also like the newer 510's that Issac just put out too, they feel lighter to me in weight and are producing results also, and there purty too with there Chrome finish , I'm giving them both a :thumb:'s up

After a couple more hours use on the LR i06 the TH has increased considerably. I can't comment on flavor as I'm so affected by Texas Wildfire smoke; almost like having a cold and the juice I'm using is not the most flavorful. I'm going to edit my initial impression post, from today, to reflect the increased TH.

Gotcha! Thanks!

That Pila charger I also bought has got me spoiled already!
And before that, so had my LaCross computerized charger.

Now Ikenvape atties has gotten me spoiled too! :D
They're so dang easy to use. And your're right about
Ike's new 510's...I got them in each ohm range to try.
They're so stealthy and smoooooooooth, like a Puma!

Ike's i06, or his 510? The i06, or his 510?
Dang, it's easier just to sell my sister's right arm to keep them both! :evil:

I have some of the new 510s 1.8ohm coming in in couple of days. We've been attempting to find the ultimate vape for DH for several months, using his REO Mini. Got him almost settled in but then got him the new Figured Redwood Mini Woodvil, which hits harder than the all mechanical REO, so we are virtually stating over with that and his abrupt reducing his nic from 24 to 12. I think the new 510 1.8 ohm are going to be the cherry on top and finally take him to his near perfect vape.

I don't dare turn him loose with a 306 of any kind, due to his vaping style. He has only killed one atty in almost a year of vaping, his first week using a 3.0 ohm 801 (the tank and almost indestructible atty of all), with cart (straw modded), and 801 pen style battery. He keeps his attys pretty hot with his pipe smoker chain vaping. I think the i06 may be a good x06 to start him on. He and the atty would have a good chance of surviving each other.

for the lazy and absent minded one's: put your batties on the charger before going to bed and put a time-clock on it with the amount that is needed........

That's how I do some of my Gadget battery chargers especially the chargers that don't have cut-off. Like the external battery chargers for the iRobot Scoobas. A little too long and you have cooked Ni-mH battery packs. I even use the timer for the modded Li-ion packs that have internal cut-off built into each individual cell in battery. You really can't be too careful.

Get the inexpensive kind of timer with the dial and tabs. Use only the turn-off tab and turn the dial around each time you turn it on to charge, to give the amount of hours to cutoff. It only takes about 2-3 seconds to set it.

I just got a LR 1.8 and HV 3.5 and I have noticed that the HV running at 5V on my reo does not bring out the flavor as much as the LR 1.8 at 3.7. I am going to charge up my 3V batts and try the HV at 6V tonight to see if there is a increase in flavor.

I'm liking both so far the flavor reminds me of the 801's I used in the past on the reo.

I still keep at least one IKV 801 going on one of my 801 Wood Reos. In fact I keep them well oiled inside and use them while in the spa because when they decide to take a swim (I have The Champion REO swim team. BTW... no REO floats.) I can pop out the 18650 AW IMR, wipe out the Wood REO, blow out the 801, and go right on vaping. Other attys don't take well to immediate vaping, after a swim, and the Metal, all mechanical REOs need to have the firing pin box well rinsed in distilled water (lots of chemical and mineral contaminants in Spa water) and dried before using. (I'm anxiously awaiting my first stabilized wood Midi 801 REO. He will be my real "swimmer" champion.)

POINT THOUGH.... After about four hours use, today, LR i06, on REO Mini, 3.7v, the flavor is starting to come through and the TH has increased significantly.

{edit}} Frain Barts here. I was confusing the WF-139 with the WF-138. SORRY.

I apologize for derailing this thread further but I feel this is important to mention...

Just like your 3.7V battery chargers should never charge your 3.7V batteries past 4.2V, your WF-138 charger should never charge your LiFePO4 batts over 3.6V regardless of how long you leave them on the charger after the light turns green. But as stated by others, you really should remove them as soon as the light turns green...

I strongly believe that your "auto shut off" is not working properly. The following is something I tested on both of my WF-138 chargers many times and have gotten consistent results in the past year and a half... Even though LiFePO4s charge up to and meter at 3.6V as soon as the light turns green, the voltage starts dropping toward about 3.36 (3.37)V where it finally settles REGARDLESS of whether batteries stay on the charger or are immediately removed. The only time I get a 3.6V reading is if I literally take them off the charger immediately as the light turns green (within 10 seconds or so..). But if these batts stay on the charger for about 15-20 minutes after, they always meter at about 3.36(7)V as soon as removed. So, the fact that yours meter at 3.6V when the light turns green but continue to charge to over 4V if you don't remove them, just does not sound right.

Also, as previously stated, don't use these batts as soon as they are charged. Let them at least drop down to 3.37V on their own. When using them, I let mine get down to 3.1V before replacing them. But it is a good idea to let them get back to their resting voltage as much as possible before recharging them. If you have at least 3-4 sets, that should not be a problem. Also, always keep them in pairs and make sure to rotate them every time, top to bottom. I have mine marked A1 A2, B1 B2... So one time 1 will be on bottom and 2 on top while the next time 2 will be on the bottom and 1 on top. You will notice that the top battery always drains a little more or a little faster and whichever one was on the top will always take a few minutes longer to charge.

Hope this helps and let us know what you discover with your charger. Hopefully, what you are experiencing is not a big deal but I just want to make sure that it doesn't become one.

Are you putting LiFEPO4 3v batteries on a WF-138?? I don't understand why it doesn't over charge them as it is designed only for 3.7v batteries. In addition the WF-138 charges at higher amps and therefore faster and LiFEPO4 batteries definitly prefer slower charging rate, even slower than other Lithium chemistries, according to those in the know. I would never put a 3v LiFEPO4 on a WF-138!! My:2c:

Alice,

The WF-138 charges 3.0v & 3.6V The TR-001 is for 3.7v I believe:closedeyes: and LiFePo4 Batts can be and are charged On the WF-138 on the 3v setting,, been charging my AW LiFePo4 Batts on this charger for a long time it is fine to do so ;-)

The old WF-139, which we've had for about 10 years does not have a switch. I see people refering to the WF-138A which might have the switch. The WF188 has the switch for 3 and 3.7 charging. I have two of them and, boy, I didn't believe how "rinky dinkly" made they are compared to the old WF-139, until I got one. I need to do a little studying as I didn't know a WF-138A existed. I've probably been using "8" in my post when I was referring to "9" as in 139 and wrongly assuming people were referring to the WF-139.

Sorry, Alice

Sorry, Alice

Okay I found the WF-138. I didn't know it existed. I have a couple of Tenergy chargers for LiFEPO4 3.v. Before I got those I had a Uni charger for NiCad/NiMH/Li-ion 3v-9v that I used for them. It charged them fine and they came off the charger at correct voltage but I took them off the moment the light turned green.

So I was having Frain Barts. Sorry.
