Empire Mods makes a sweet 510 atty, you just have to make sure you get some in low resistance. They are pretty on par with the Cisco attys. supposedly the IKenVape ones are good too, but I can't comment, never used them. Most of us are using RM2s however because noting compares.

Kudos to this post. I absolutely love the empire bridgeless 510/306 LR atty. I'm also on the rm2 bandwagon. Which is also wonderful :)

Cisco's get hot too fast. You can't (or I couldn't) chain vape them. Hot juice in the mouth is uncomfortable. Empire or SmokTek are OK. But with any of them for me, about 1-2 ml's of vaping and then they draw hard and need a cleaning. Go for the RM2. You control your vape. Easy to clean and rebuild.
 

GoodNews!

On the subject of the Cisco, I figure I'll ask:

I'm using the 3.5ohm Cisco just as a manual dripper, and when I first used it, the first 30 minutes or so of vaping it was one of the best vaping experiences I've had yet - it gave me the cleanest taste I've gotten from any type of pre-made coil or atomizer in months. Gone was the contaminated tastes and burnt, hazy vibes, the Cisco was giving me tones that I haven't tasted in my juices since I first tried them out at a juice bar. I was in love!

Sadly, after about 45 minutes of vaping, the taste suddenly went pretty downhill. Not bad, just, it lost about %50 of its flavor strength. Now, this could have been totally my mistake, as I was mixing quite a few juices - I didn't have any no-flavor PG on hand to flush it - but in all common sense, I'm not sure where mixing juices could dull flavors. Even when I get a flavor good and cleaned out by the next, the strength simply refuses to come through, and now it's even tasting the slightest bit yeasty. I was mixing flavors back and forth before the strength went out, and every flavor I put it, it was as strong as the next. The atomizer just suddenly went downhill after a good period and didn't seem to correlate to anything I particularly did.

My guess is that I vaped it too long on too low a power for 3.5ohm, causing a little coil buildup, or that when I dripped the Burley Beard by VCV (a NET, supposedly), it gunked up the coils a little. The coils did start to look a little blacker than they did while the atomizer was giving tons of juicy, authentic vibes. I'm sure I'll probably have to clean it, but I don't have any alcohol on hand either - does distilled water usually bring back a fairly fresh atomizer as long as the coils may just be barely coated over, and is it ok to use distilled with the Cisco build? If there's any residue distilled water after I let it dry, is it OK to vape it or does any type of water harm coils?

What you are going to find is that room temp water will not clean as well as hot water. Ok to throw distilled water in a pan and heat it up, throw the atty's in after the boil starts for a couple of minutes, drain them, stand them upside down on some paper towel to dry, and dry burn before dripping. Some don't last too long, no matter how you clean them.
