As most of you know I was waiting with much anticipation the delivery of the 510 2Ohm atty to give it a whirl on my eGo. I should have read my own charts LOL.
I was never a fan of LRs to begin with, although they have their appeal in certain circumstances, but they were not the end all be all of vaping, to me anyway. I enjoyed the 1.5Ohm on the eGo but did not use the eGo because operating a proprietary $30 battery (Canada Prices) did not make a lot of sense, when knowing the battery would be stressed. The eGo being capable of 1.5A and the 2Ohm atty having a 1.55A draw, put a smile on my face. Switched ya dummy, you need to look at both charts.
Low and behold the 2Ohm runs far too cool on the eGo but performs well at 3.7V on an 18650 delivering 6.8w compared to 4.8w. The draw on the only 2Ohm I got is a little tight, similar to vaping with the cone on the eGo, so that is cool. The draw is too tight on the eGo. Because I vape the eGo with cone fitted exclusively, and the heat produced insufficient, the LR 510 has been relegated to the Precise for the time being.
I received an HV 901 a the same time, ahhhhh, thank you Isaac. I was wondering what all the hooplah was all about wrt the 901 atty. I did not like 901s in the past, and found the atty too finicky, always bordering on being flooded or wouldn't wick worth a damn at 3.7V, and only performed slightly better at 5V. Well that might be a 3.7V but not at 6V. I spent the entire time available from a set of LifePO4s, dripping it
TH was decent and vapour production more than adequate. I least now I have renewed faith in the 901. A cooler vape with a soothing throat hit and great flavour, as a 901 should.
The LR 801 shorty. Good vapour production but runs a little on the hot side for me and my vaping style. I absolutely love the aesthetics of the unit. This is a winner aesthetically speaking. I want to give this atty the run for it's money. I have only been using it with RY4 at this point and the delicate bouquet of RY4 is not shining through in comparison to its bigger brother. I will be switching juices and see if it improves.
I would definitely like to see this atty developed in 3.5 and 5.2 Ohms, I believe it would be a hard item to keep in stock. Mind you, the proxixity of the coil to the lips (heat), may not be suitable at high voltages or pleasing to some.
This short review is entirely subjective IMHO. Depending on what criterias folks based their vaping nirvana on. The entire SLB line is a quality product and performs extremely well as intended, where intended. Being that I prefer to vape in the vacinity of 6-8 watts, make most of my reviews on HV highly subjective, and I apologise for that. Some folks look for heat, I simply don't. So please do not read into this more than is necessary.
