I thought about this all day. First my attys didn't pop, they just died. Second, I still have the second. After it stopped working I took all my attys that hadn't had a PGA bath in a while and gave them one overnight, followed by a Crest Pro Health dunking and a hot water rinsing. Today after more than two days of air drying I took that second i06 and re-examined it to make sure the coils were still intact. Then I put in on a mod. Nada, no life.
One of the aspects I find fascinating about the 306 is you CAN'T flood them. You can literally fill a drip tip over the coils and the thing still fires up and works. Also if it was a flooding issue, the initial blowing out and retrying them when they first died would have done the trick.
I know these are betas which is why it's so important to provide data. However I don't see how flooding could be an issue since 1) mine didn't pop, they just died 2) I know how to tell when a normal atty (non 306 style) that has too much juice acts and blowing out any excess does the trick, and 3) the second one I kept and cleaned would have still been working if it were flood related.
I am only familiar with attys popping when they don't have enough juice. Since I began solely dripping shortly after I began vaping I definitely know when an atty is too dry. These weren't.
Finally to prove my anti flood theory, I just dripped a full 20 drops onto an IKE 306 HV with a cannon drip tip. It fires up and works without a problem. That is if you like the taste of juice in your mouth. other than the couple or so drops of liquid that came into my mouth when I took a pull and what looks like almost a drip's worth of leakage, it is working fine. I took the drip tip off over a napkin to release the excess juice, reapplied it to the 306 and it's still working perfectly.
Has anyone ever been able to actually flood a 306 type atty? You can't in my experience. If you're using a good drip tip, excess fluid doesn't even leak out, it's going to end up in your mouth or you take it out by removing the drip tip to release it. I used 20 drops as an extreme to prove the point.
One of the other factors I love about the 306 is being able to visually see when it's about to need more juice. Which is why I use acrylic drip tips. Not to mention knowing the nose thing if any atty is not wet enough, particularly with high volt vaping. In my 17 plus months of vaping I literally have lost less than 20 attys. Most of those were in the early days of using Hello 016 or ego type batts that would malfunction by not cutting off.
Maybe Isaac will have more info and give some feedback. I will wait until a good acrylic drip tip is out before trying my third and final i06. The black delrin worked fine. However I would prefer an acrylic drip tip. I hope someone comes up with a drip tip that has the characteristics of a cannon drip tip just a bit thinner at the mouthpiece end. I personally don't like the ring at the top.
Honestly, I have NEVER had an atty last more than a week for me. The taste is still great, the vapor is still great. Still metering 3.8ohm 
3-5 sec pulls is all I pull and fine plenty of satisfaction
