For those keeping score my dislike of the 1.5Ω 306 is well known.

But I really like Cannon drip tips and they have some cool new colors i picked up at vapefest even though I don't use 306's :)

So on my last mortgage sized order of Cisco spec attys I threw a half dozen 2.0 ohm 306 attys in.

Gotta say I am enjoying them more than I thought possible. So much that 3 of 5 REOs sit before me with them perched on top.

The higher ohms solve the one and only problem I had with the 1.5 resistance ones.
They don't need to be soaking wet to avoid burning .... there for no flooding or juice in the mouth issues. Working well and tasting great. They run so much leaner on juice that I am using one with a standard short 306 DT ..... never possible with as wet as I kept the 1.5

Thats a nice plus on the Mini ..... a nice little stubby 306 looks cool on the tiny little mod.

Like I needed one, but I now feel like I have a reason for more shopping.
I need some more cool stubby 306 tips.

In closing the 2Ω is a whole different animal than the 1.5 IMO.

My SLB LR1.8 from IVape is a powerhouse. I put it on last night and was literally blown away. I can only take three good hits and I feel the head rush. It does drink a lot of juice though. I notice my bottle not lasting as usual with my 2.0 attys. I love the TH and the heat.

I also like his 2Ω atties better than 1.5Ω for both 510 and 306.

Any opinions on the new 1.8Ω yet?

Have to agree with BH. I ordered one the day they 1st came out. DOA!! Tho Frank disagreed. The replacement worked fine but more 2.0Ω ish...Dont see the point.

My clear "redesigned" cannon drip tip just broke after 2 weeks use. Was sure hoping they would last longer than that, still have my black cannon though.

I had a 306 pyrex drip tip straight outta the mail break in my fingers on my Reo just as I was sliding it over the atty, shard of glass remains in my right pointer finger. theecig.com would only replace it if I "bought something else from their store for inventory reasons". %^(^)*(&)( I've bought from that store at least 4 times, so I was MAD!

Thanks for this thread......just broke out a new 306 & popped it on the grand.

I just got my order of cisco's moments ago. I've tried the 2.0 and the 1.8 ohm 306's, and I'm convienced they're worth the extra money. :) Now if my darn order from IKV gets here tomorrow I'll make my choice of which is my favorite. Right now with 70/30 waffle the only difference between the 1.8 and 2.0 is an almost indistiguishable warmer hit on the 1.8. TONS and TONS of vapor, and great taste on both! Now I have to get rid of my "old flame". The Joyes I just purchased. :)

Ahh another convert :) I thought you might be pleasantly surprised when your Cisco's arrived.
Joyes make great backups for doomsday if it ever hits.

I got my IKV order today and the first atty out of the bunch I'm trying is the 2.0 Ω 306 with a clear cannon drip tip. I'm really liking the flavor and vapor so far. I'm not 100% sold on the cannon drip tip. I drew on it hard enough to get juice to the half way mark and a ring of juice just sits there. It does feel nice on my lips, though. I'll do my best to keep the 306 wet, which is easy to do with the Grand, but if this atty doesn't last a good while, I can't justify purchasing more. I'm using 50/50 RY5, btw.

I tossed a LR306 2.0 on the Woodvil tonight and I like it. The 1.5 306 and 510 are a bit to hot on the Woodvil.

I am also using a 1.8 510 on another Woodvil that is relay good as well with my Strait Havana.

I Think some 2.0 306's are going to be ordered soon for my woodvils. I will also check out the 2.0 510's and see how they work out.

Yep both woodvils have a 2 ohm 306 on them right now :) Its going very well.

I think I will stay away from 1.8 Ciscos (except the 5 I have).... so close to the 2 ohm I don't need another atty to stock.

I will stick with:

Cisco 1.5Ω 510
Cisco 2.0Ω 510
Cisco 2.0Ω 306

That should cover all situations. I'm still rotating some Joye 1.5 and 2.3 ohm 510s till they die too.

Admittedly I also sang the blues the first few times I tried the 1.5ohm Ciscos 306 on my mini. The always seemed either flooded or dry, but alas I have seen the light.

Some may disagree, but I think 306's work stunningly after being de-wicked and de-bridged. Another added benefit is being able to see the condition of your coil with unparalleled ease. Just pop off the tip, give the button a quick press and you are presented with a glowing demonstration. After going back to a 510 for awhile, this is something I sorely missed. Although I still think the 306 floods very easily, its absolutely worth it for the flavor and vapor these things make. I do not recommend them to unseasoned vapors.

I'm excited to try the 1.8ohm variety someday.
