Question about LR Atomizers

[HyOnLyph]

I just had an opportunity to try my first LR vape. It's amazing. Before I buy some, I have a question about the atomizers.
Does a 510 LR atomizer work with 510 cartridges or is it only good for dripping?
What about 306 attys. Are there cartridges for them too or are they just for dripping?

If I want to recommend something LR to my nephew, and he's not into dripping, would it be best to go with a LR cartomizer?

Thanks for any help.

I don't know anything about 306s, but LR510s certainly can be used with carts... i used foam filler in all kinds of carts on LR attys (510, 901, 801) before switching to dripping.

Although some have been able to use carts with LRs, LRs were primarily developed for dripping, as the majority of carts do not wick well enough to supply the atty. It's akin to supply fuel to a 4bbl carb using a 1/8 fuel line.

VM on the other hand has had great success doing so, especially the 801 which is really surprising. Nonetheless, not many do, because of inconsistencies and frustration wrt performance.

Thank you both for the info. very enlightening....
How do the makers of cartomizers overcome the wicking issue? Or do they? Is it because the heating element runs through the whole thing?

Sorry, I'm not a big carto user, but the idea of a true low resistance carto put together like they usually are with burnable materials in close proximity to the coil seems like a recipe for burnt cartos? I don't think any of the cartos at IkenVape are considered "LR" really. And Isaac's LR attys are at the upper end of the range of what's considered LR. Some LR attys are 1.5 ohms whereas Isaac's are around 2 ohms. I never tried a 1.5 ohm atty much less made carts work with it... but these 2 ohm guys were not all that different from std resistance attys when it came to cart usage... just needed a cart filler that doesn't hang on to the liquid too much... that was blue foam stuff for me, but other folks seem to like the tea bag material... just the polyfil doesn't cut it.

If your nephew is a std 510 user, he'd almost certainly like Isaac's LR510s.

Yup, the 801 was pretty frustrating to get well behaved cart behavior out of, definitely the most troublesome when it came to carts for me. Seeing as the 801s are my fav attys, that's probably a part of the reason why i bailed on carts. Upon resuming vaping, i had a choice... muck with an 801 cart or just drip and vape... i'm happy i choose the latter.

So, should I assume that the LR Cartomizer that I was given is a 1.5 ohm? There are no markings on it. It is pretty hot. (If I take two drags too close together, it burns my lips pretty bad..... so I've ordered a 306 driptip) Will I be disappointed in the 2.0 ohm? I usually drip. I tried to order at Ikenvape and they were out of stock. But I'm gonna try em eventually.

Try the Dripping carto's when Issac gets them in, these are some seriously great cartos with a material that just doesn't burn and they are good from 3.7-6v and provide a great vape and flavor. 306 drip tip wont fit the LR Carto or 510 Atty HyonLyph

Which ones are the dripping cartos. I didn't see them.
Yeah, I know the 306 drip tip doesn't fit the 510. If it won't fit the 306 LR carto then I'm out of luck. I'll have to PIF it.

I don't think there is such a thing as a 306 carto, don't see how that would be physically possible with the exposed bridge.

Yup! they exist. Not too many stock 'em though.

 

[HyOnLyph]

306 carto? I was gifted one. And it's a vaping fool. Everything else is just .... well..... less. Must have more!!!!

 

[Bella Chic]

I, like many others can't wait till Iken is restocked cause his atties and cartos are amazing. LR cartos are good to for those that like cartos. I have a lil of everything. I don't have and LR carto from Iken though but when he gets restocked I think I am going to get a few different things

Can someone please explain to me the difference between a 510 and a 306 carto, please? Since the threading is the same, what is actually different? Thanks.

When you say carto are you referring to a cartridge which sits on top of an already existing atomizer or a cartomizer which is a cartridge+atomizer in a single unit? I'd love to see a picture or link to a 306 cartomizer, can't imagine they look any different from a 510 cartomizer.

Hmmm. Well I don't use 510 cartomizers. So far the only cartomizers I use are SmokeStik (4081) with an adapter. I can't imagine anything being better unless it's an LR. If I'm not useing the SmokeStik cartos, I drip. Once in a while, I use some left over cartridges with the 510 atty.

The 306 carto looks just like any other carto except for the threads but I haven't broken any open so I can't say what the internals look like. I do know that the SmokeStik cartos are different on the inside. I don't know why they work so good, but they do... and they NEVER burn on my eGo.... Actually, I've never even had one fail on me. I'm using the same one for months now.

I've been vaping for about a month and have tried my fair share. I would say start your nephew out with something with some battery life with 510 threads. It seems to be the most used native thread and a lot is made for it. I love IKV premium platinums. Holds a lot of juice and fairly easy to use. Good vapor production and should be able to satisfy his cravings with the right juice. I tried cartridges, but think they will soon become antiquated. They're simply less efficient then the material used on cartos. 306 atties are by far the easiest to drip that I've tried so far. I've tried 510, 801, and 306. 306 makes it easy. Even if your nephew has tried 510 dripping I think he will find that in his spare time dripping can be very satisfying. I'm slowly starting to drip in public and it has become less and less of a problem.

Long and short. Cartos by Iken, period. Easy, reliable, great performance. Not much else can be asked for.

Thanks, my Nephew is already vaping. I gave him an eGo kit. He's lovin' it. He told me yesterday that he's 100% off analogs. The thing he likes the most is the vapor. So when I tried this LR carto... I thought "holy smokes he's gonna love this.".

So I'm just trying to figure out what to send him as a start into the realm of LR. I'll definitely purchase some IKV as soon as they are in stock. In the mean time, I'll wonder on over to somewhere else and purchase a few attys just to get started.

Ryan;

What in your opinion makes the 306 easier? I've also tried the 510 from other vendors and the 801 from Iken. When he gets the 306's in I'm going to try them.
