Question on Atty's

[rel322]

I've looked around the forums about Atty's and a couple questions have arisen.

1) I read something about drilling holes in the atty/carto to help air flow. Which atty's do you recommend that don't need any such adjustments?

2) I've been reading that sometimes the hole in the atty/carto doesn't match up with the hole on mod. (not sure what the connector's called). Is that something I should be worrying about with my Reo? If so, which models/brands do you recommend?

I'm finally going to be ordering attys/carto's to dial in on the resistance that I like and whether I like atty's or not

1. Cisco 510's and 306's don't need this type of adjustment (except the Aeros). This is because they have a light (almost airy) draw to them. Joye LR 510's and IKV LR 510's also don't need this as well. Even though, they don't have as light of a draw. They definitely don't have a tight draw.

2. With all the atties that I have just described. None of them will have this problem and they will hit very nicely. Some mods do have this problem but, not with the REO. So, you don't have to worry about that.

3. If your not sure if you would like atties. Then I would get one atty of each; 1.5, 1.8, and 2 ohms. These work best at 3.7V. Just remember that 1.5 ohms has to be kept moist in order for it to work well. If you vape it dry then eventually the coil will pop. So, you should be careful of that.

Hope that helps.

The atomizer connector is called a 510. With atomizers and cartomizers being mass produced, sometimes there are variances in the threads that result in them not fitting the Reo very well. Vendors such as Ikenvape and Avid Vaper are known to resolve this issue if you've purchased from them and the attys or cartos don't fit. Just let them know you have a Reo and they will replace those attys/cartos with ones that have been tested for fit on a Reo before they ship those replacements. Alternatively, you can send your Reo back to Rob and he can chase the threads on your Reo so that they should accept these attys and cartos more easily.

I'm a big fan of HH .357 and Cisco spec atomizers. Ikenvape atomizers are a close second. I recommend LR DSE 510 atomizers for new users to learn how to use attys on a Reo, because they're decent in quality and relatively inexpensive.

Alright, so the top brands for Atty's are: (In no particular order); Cisco, Joye, IKV, DSE (For Learning)

And I should go for a Low Resistance; What's the range of something being considered LR? (1.5 to what? 2.0?)

The general rule of thumb is most vapers prefer low resistance attys/cartos at 3.7 volts and 1.5 to 1.8 ohms are better suited to tobacco flavors and 1.8 to 2.3 ohms are better suited to sweet flavors.

Since we all have perceive tastes differently as well as having differing preferences for throat hit, warmth of vapor, and volume of vapor produced, you'll have to experiment a bit to see what combinations of flavors, percentages of PG & VG, and resistance of atty or carto, best satisfies you.

You could discover that you like 3.0 ohm Boge cartos at 3.7 volts with a tobacco flavor. That would put you in the minority, but if you like it, vape on. Try everything in front of ya.

Alright, so i've been wandering around different suppliers and not all of them state what the attys/carto's are rated (Ohmwise). What is the general consensus be of those attys/cartos resistance? or should i just avoid them?

IKV 510s have been mentioned but IKV i06s are good for changing flavors and don't require any adjustments.

The only time I've seen ohms omitted (pun intended) is when they are standard resistance.

For my Reo, I really like the 1.8 IKV i06. Otherwise I use LR 1.5 IKV 510s and 2.0 cartos.

You don't drill the holes in the attys until you find it necessary. When an atty begins to have a tight draw or seems "stuffy", it is worthwhile to drill out one of the holes in the atty. I disagree that it is unnecessary with Joye LR attys. That is all I use and I find them to have a tight draw after awhile. Certainly the Joye LR 510's benefit from it. The Joye 306's --sometimes they are better for being drilled, but they can become awfully airy. In my experience, the jury is still kind of out there. Sometimes it works, other times....not so good.
Really it comes down to deciding if you're unhappy with an atty and willing to take a chance to make it perform better. JMO
