For all the cool toys I've had or have, a simple Spinner and a good 510 "disposable" atty is the set-up that I always keep within reach.
I am a user of this type of set-up in spite of all the other stuff I use (or used), not becasue I haven't used that other stuff.
I dont have anything too extravagant or fancy but I'm beginning to see the beauty in the simpler set-ups. My nautilus gives me issues all the time. If i stick to 2 drops on my 510 atty, it works beautifully! With time, i can see myself getting a "higher end" disposable 510 or similar atty and keeping it by my side at all times.
Im still trying to figure out which cisco spec to get. I dont understand all the versions and choices.
Yeah, I started with clearos -- and they weren't as nice as the current crop either -- and nowadays a Nautilus is what I recommend to new vapers. But I don't think the flavor is close to what a small-chamber atty provides. So if someone comes here for advice with the products that are this thread's focus, we're going to stick to giving tips on that. I doubt that anyone who finds his way to this thread hasn't already heard of clearomizers anyway.
I would start with this one.
LR510 Low Resistance Bridgeless 1.5ohm Atomizer (Cisco Spec) - Avid Vaper
When you first use it, I'd drip four or five drops and let it sit for five minutes while the juice saturates the wick and coil. Then drip two more drops and start vaping at a fairly low wattage, like maybe eight watts. After a few refills, you can turn it up. I generally drip three drops at a time. Every day or two, I blow it out into a napkin; and maybe every week or so, I drip ten or so drops of plain PG into it and blow that out. Other than that, no special techniques are needed. Cisco 510's are built like rocks.

Thank you! I was just in the middle of writing a post asking if you can post a link tk one that you recommend. You read my mind!!
Whats the difference between the bridgeless and bridged attys- As in what benefit does the bridgeless have for a starter like me?
LR510 Low Resistance Atomizer 1.5 ohm (Cisco Spec) - Avid Vaper
That's the one I would recommend. I do use bridge-free atties occasionally, but I find the ones with the bridges, for whatever reason, have longer life and better performance. I've been on 3 of the same Cisco Spec atties (with bridges) since August of last year. I had to go check it out to see that last order, and my mind is blown to find out that these are still going strong. The previous order of bridge-free atties didn't last me long at all.
I should mention though, I now only vape unflavored in this type of set-up, so I don't really know how long they would last when dealing with different flavors. Having said that, the bridge-free atties didn't last me long enough even vaping unflavored. Don't know why I had those issues with bridge-free atties, but it doesn't really matter as I have what works for me.
rhammer, you should try both to see. But remember, with 1.5Ω atties, you want to not hit them with much more power than 3.7v or they will get fried.
The bridge has extra wicking that was designed to draw liquid from a cartridge attached to the atty. I don't see that it serves any purpose anymore, although some users (Mr. Mann, for example) still prefer them. I find them slightly more prone to holding flavors than bridgeless atties, but it probably doesn't make much difference.
I think I'll do both and see which works best for me!! 2 is always better than 1
Thank you for the help!!
A couple points. First, Mann is spot on about the resistance. rhammer, if you have a variable voltage/wattage device, you could just as easily get 2.0 or 2.5ohm atties. They may indeed have longer life.
I use Vapage atties on my VMods, and I just changed one after four months (the flavor and vapor had declined a lot). The voltage on those is never higher than 4.1 (with a fresh battery), and the 1.5ohm versions perform well. Vapage atties are very similar in build to the Ciscos.
Finally, I've seen Mr. Mann vaping, and I suspect that the problem with the bridgeless atties is that he's drawing so hard he's dislodging the coils. The man has good lungs!
I use it on the istick 20w so ill definitely look into the 2.0 or 2.5. I recently quit smoking so I still tend to draw too hard. Im learning to take it nice and easy!!!!!
I sure wish Avidvaper would slash prices on their atties, or at least make a bundle deal. It's no biggie really as they last so long, but I would prefer to have a nice stock of them. I have a several, but not enough to keep me from a little bit of uneasiness. The only reason why I haven't stocked up greatly on those atties is I feel they may one day actually start to liquidate them and keep the HHs as their "disposable" atties.
I wonder how the regular CS atties sale for them.

Oh, I was joking. You can hit these atties as hard as you want!
Yeah, if he blows 'em out at $4 each, I'm in for a bunch. I don't think Cisco himself even uses them anymore, and he basically invented the low res atty.
Funny, man, funny! I do think the bridged atties take more abuse. I have NO understanding why I can take harder draws with the bridged atties (maybe it acts as a girdle? LOL), but I bet you are right that it's my hard pulls that make one a better choice over the other. I've been recently using my EM atties and I do have to draw much more softly than with the others. Me no likey the soft draw. I don't know, I take stiff pulls, but not like face-collapsing fast pulls like when I was a youngin'. hehe.

well, gs air tank might be something to try.
I use the aspire ets tanks with bvc coils, they work nicely.
You might want to contact Avid and ask them if they will do a quantity deal for you. I know of someone who buys quantities of Avid atties at Bash.
