That's right. I remember you mentioning that before.
Money isn't an issue for me, so I decided to stock up on what I felt was working for me.
I guess you can say I got lucky in that standard Joye 510 atomizers are still working for me perfectly well to this day.

But I may very well buy two Mini Reos and three RM2 rebuildable atomizers some day, if I sense vaping Armageddon is close at hand.
And I must admit that the pending bill to ban online sales in California has me thinking hard about making that purchase soon.
:(

If you like the Shifu, you definitely want to try the Stingray. It's like the Shifu on steroids. I swear they squeezed a micro coil in this thing, because it is tiny and hits hard. I can't really do a side by side test, but the Stingray feels like it hits harder than the Shifu, assuming the ohms are equal. I don't have an ohm meter, so I can't tell for sure. Definitely a new favorite, and I'm going to by a couple a month to make sure I never run out of one.

They are short though. They barely breach the cone on my VMod. I was afraid the drip tip wouldn't fit.

In other news, I bought 2 901 attys without acquiring an adapter. Off to MadVapes I go.

It looks like the Stingray is 1.5 ohms.

Ha!

Here I am on day 2, and the .357 is really opening up. It floods easily and spits a lot on my VMod, but the throat hit is coming in more. It feels like it has a lighter taste than my other atties, but that may be because it has a more open draw compared to the others.

The light draw really threw me. Given the directions for use, I was expecting it to operate more like a 306.

And my long drip tip is stuck in it. Annoying.

So it seems like you're staying that so far it's not worth the price?

I don't know yet. Even my eGo-C atties took nearly a week to break in, and since my liquid is so clear they also rarely die on me.

Yesterday the .357 was a little anemic on the throat hit. Today it's almost as good as the Stingray. What I can say is it has the draw of a 510, the flavor of a 901 and the hit of a 306. Whether you want all 3 things in one atomizer is up to you.

I just threw it in the wash, as I'm also trying out 3 other atties right now. I'll re-visit the .357 again on Tuesday when I'm off work.

Where do you get your Stingrays from?

House of Vapor. This is the only one I've tried, and I will absolutely be getting more. I got the 510 bottom-fed version. They also have a 306 model.

Be aware I enjoy the throat hit more than anything. Of the 3 atomizers I'm playing with, the Stingray gives me the strongest hit. And I vape the strongest menthol I can find. ;)

As I sit here with my EcoPure Rich at 30 mg vaping at 10.5 watts, I do believe that I could be considered a TH junkie too, my friend! I gotta have the TH or it only looks like vaping.

Stingray has been ordered! I'll check back when I get a chance to sit with it for a second. I got a sealed shorty.
Like I said before, if you enjoyed the Vapage Hybrids then you should enjoy the Stingray even more.

What is this stingray you speak of?
The Stingray 510 atomizer at House of Vapor.
 
I also prefer to drip. I am kind of new to the forum. there is alot of posts in this thread. this question may be in there already. My favorite atty is a cisco 306 1.5omh. I always come back to this atty. My question is, I use this atty on a ZMAX VVW Mod. I moniter the ohm reading. It always starts out as 1.5 but after a couple of days it stats to go down 1.4, 1.3, 1.2...... My mod is usualy at 3.6. Average time till it burns out is about a week. I would like to get more life out of the atty. Am i doing something wrong? Should I blow it out more often or clean it a special way?
