Should I try a different type of atomizer on my Reo Grand ???

[Chronic Dripper]

I used to direct drip with my LR ( Smoktech ) 510's, a dripshield, driptip attached to a standard Ego T battery ( 1000mAh ), now I use the same atty and tip on my new Reo Grand. The atty's were lasting 3-4 weeks on the Ego, but on the Grand they are lasting 1 1/2 weeks, sometimes less. I know the manufacterer, suggests the 510 LR ( mine are 1.7 ohm ) and I test them regularily ( multimeter ). Should I bump up to a 2 ohm resistance ? Try 306's or something else ? Don't wanna be atty shopping all the time, as you can imagine I keep quite a few on hand.
Also I saw a You Tube video where the girl in the demo of the Reo Grand had a drip shield on her 510, mine doesn't seem to work on the Grand, looks like she's got the same one I have, mines a Smoktech brand. Least of my worries anyways as I haven't really seen a need for it on my Reo. Is there shorter drip shields available though?

Anxiously awaiting your feedback !

Your attys may last longer if you allow the atomizer coil to cool down before feeding more e-liquid to it.

Using an unsealed 510 shorty extension will allow you to use a drip shield with your 510 attys on your Reo.

Hey Mudflap, thanks.......& I'll give it a try, I guess what your're saying is try to let the atty cool down a bit ( and it does get hot ) on its own, as the rapid cool down (adding e juice to a hot atty) is what could be shortening the life of the 510.

cisco or hh357 is best for Reo, I think.

I use the cheap 1.5 atties that Rob has on the website for juices I'm trying out and hh357 for all day vapes. That said the cheaper ones sometimes get more use than the 357.

Came across this while searching extenders. I know the grand doesn't need a drip shield but I have a couple and really like the way they look. I have read that Rob does not recommend using adapters overall but I think I might try one on my grand as it is used and out of warranty anyway. Can someone suggest a high quality extender that would give me the best chance of not shorting anything out? I know there is a difference in the good ones and the cheapies but do not know how to identify them other than price which is rarely a good indicator.

I was using drip shields but I like to see the cup. I am still using extentions on most of my Reos as it just seems to work better for me that way. I can't say they are good or bad but have had no issue with these and they are not the cheapest.
