If I didn't have to drive, I could totally use this atty all the time. It was great from the get go. No leaks and fantastic flavor. And many thanks to Isaac who included the dt with my order since I failed to order one!!
That's how they treated me to. I've never used one that didn't leak somewhere but on top of all the other goodness this baby has no leaks is icing on the cake.

just got them, first I will clean them, don't like soap....;-) Cleaned it ultrasonic and no soapy flavor, clean. great flavor!!
HV one, it metered 3.6 Ohm...start off with 5.4V....up to 6.0V
awesome, not a long break in time to be convinced that this is a GOOD atty.....like the drip tip, not bad at all on BF no issues with the small hole, perfect fit, no leaking after tilt and shoot.. The vapor is awsome and TH nice and warm....let's see how they will perform in the long run, but until then :Isaac, YOU DID IT AGAIN!

I gotta say the more I use these attys the more I like them.I have a LR and HV that are now broke in.After a few days of using them in the 8-10 watt range the flavor and vapor is better than I expected.I'm an 801 guy so flavor is real important to me and besides the vape being warmer the 801's don't have too much on these.

Understanding where you are coming from, to me they are akin to an 901 :) but less fussy than a 901.

I have only used this atty since I put it on my GLV yesterday pm. It is really amazing. Every so often I put 3 more drops of juice. I have NEVER used an atty this long w/o going back to my Fusion.

It's great that Isaac competes with himself to make great cartos & attys.

Curious to know, do you have the upgraded or newer connector pin in your glv or is it the old style?

edit; I noticed in your sig that its a SM super mini so it is more than likely the new style.

With the exception of the soapy taste (gone) mine has settled in quite nicely.

I could be wrong about this but my experience with replaceable attys may pertain to this issue. One thing I have noticed with using different wicks in my replaceable atties is that some liquids mask the initial nasty wick taste but with other liquids it comes through loud and clear. Maybe that is what happening here, the liquid that some people use is masking the initial primer taste and that is why they do not taste it. Something about the flavoring used cancelling out that flavor. Like I said, I could be way wrong but just thought I would throw it out there as a thought.

No I believe you are spot on with this one.

I have been spoiled with the usual take it out of the box, prime it and vape, so this was a shock to me. OTOH this thing is performing well and has settled in quite nicely. Full flavour is coming out and TH has increase. I think the HV is going to send me into tomorrow :lol:

These are really performing well! Almost on par with the HH .357s I've been using and loving for the past two weeks or so. The primer does definitely taste "soapy" though. I actually kind of liked the perfumy taste of it at first, but it was really harsh on my throat and made me gag so I'm thinking something funky is going on there.

Since the drip tip diameter seems to be about the same size of a regular 510, I would really like to see a simple sleeve adapter that would let me use any 510 drip tip on the io6! With this and the primer issue resolved, I can see potential for a real winner with these atomisers :)

I have one of each. I have the original SM with the older connector pin and a 2nd generation with the adjustable pin. I am using this atty on my original.

LR IO6...on a Phid running with an AW 18650 at ~4V, awsome, this setup is actually in terms of flavor better then the HV IO6 running on 5.8V, the latter's flavor taste changes drastically where the LR gives it a spot on flavor. TH and Vapor is on par, no issues there, but I wonder why the HV IO6 is in terms of the flavor not 100%......actually changes it. A 306 HV does not do that....

Popped the 3.5 on the P18 for 6V. Nope too hot will try 5V tomorrow. Man what a juice hog at 6V :( BTW different juice same soapy taste.
Yes, very warm and juice doesn't stand a chance in it. I've gone through about 10ml in two days at 6v, waiting for the glv3 to come back to try it with a feeder...

Blow it out, soak in vodka or pga for 30 min, blow out again, wait for alcohol to evaporate, prime then vape.
