Down the rabbit hole..
It just didn't work for me. :( It could be an issue with it on REOs because others REO owners have shared the same results. I know others like them but they were way to airy and I didn't much vapor as other regular hi-end attys.

I would have really traded for it had I had a Cisco...not everything works for everybody...:)

thanks AG for recommending these attys.:thumbs:..got mine today(1.5 and 2.0 bottom feeder and 2.0 drip style) and loving them...great flavor..lots of vapor
and as others have stated perfect feeding..finally a really great atty at an affordable price..woot..

thanks COV for carrying them and for super fast shipping..:)

I'm glad you are liking them VV!

I'm glad to see COV carrying them too. Thank you Bruce! :)

From what I've read from people who got in on the first run, most are liking them. There have been a few who don't care for the easier draw, but I expected some might not. Personally, I've not been a fan of any other atomizer, other than the 306. The beauty of vaping is that there are products for all styles & preferences. :thumbs:

I've been very pleased with the 1.5ohm Hybrid on the Vmod. I've been running it exclusively for about 48hours now. I've vaped about 9ml of Torque 56 & have swapped batteries a few times.

I would like to reiterate how important it is to keep this atty wet. Without the bridge & upper wick this is critical, or you will cut short the life of the atomizer.

Day 2 and Im WAY liking this atty more. Day 1 was a disaster. Either flooding or to dry and in either case little vapor which with any atty in those situation would do the same. Today I got way better results so I keep this one I used and Bruce (the good guy he is) with accept the 2nd back for a refund. Im still not a fan of the light draw but I can see how this can be a sweet atty.

I've tried the 2.0Ω and the 1.5Ω. Taking the differences in resistance into account:

-Draw is actually tighter than I was expecting, but also much shorter (7/10).

-Flavor and TH is right on (10/10 on both counts). I actually may be able to lower my nic with this atty.

-Vapor production doesn't blow me away, but is respectable (8/10).

It's very consistent. Same vape, every vape. You'd think that wouldn't be difficult to achieve, but this is the first atty out of the box that has done this for me.

These could be my go-to if: 1) They last, and 2) The .357 isn't the revolutionary step up I'm looking for.

I like the reviews this atty is getting. I haven't got mine yet (damn), and I'm getting anxious to try it. If the draw is too airy I might not like it. The thing is, with the 306, I love the heat and the vapor production but getting the draw just right has been an ongoing process for me. I've tried drilling one side or both sides on Cisco's and Joye's and it doesn't work for me. I have been sticking with the Cisco's and it's been a hit or miss type thing because they all seem to have thier own mind. When I get a 306 that works well for me I try not to clean it very often. I am thinking more and more that the break-in period is when you make or break a 306 so the last couple that I got I'm taking them slow and keeping them flooded. I'm really hoping these Hybrids work well for me. One thing that concerns me now that I ordered two of the bottom feeders is I probably should have ordered two of the regular 1.5 Hybrids also. My thinking is the regular might not be as airy as the bottom feeder model. I would like to here some feedback on that if anyone has any. Well, I should get mine on Monday, I hope, so I'll give them a try and if I find them to not suit me I'm going to order some of the regulars.
I would really like to hear some feedback on the draw differences between the two if there is any difference.

I have both...first the bottom feeder is not an airy draw, its a lighter draw meaning you don't have to suck as hard to get lots of vapor...make sure
you prime it well with juice before using and keep it wet...
the regular hybrid is a tighter draw than the bottomfeeder but you still don't have to suck as hard as on a standard atty..
if you think in terms of the bottomfeeder being like drinking water through a straw and a standard atty like drinking a milkshake through one
with the regular hybrid in the middle...that being said both hybrids work flawlessly...the hybrid bottom feeder is the best atty I've ever used..
great vapor and awesome flavor...:)

Your thinking may be spot-on. I ordered the standard ones and I don't think they could be called "airy" in any sense of the word. Very stiff, tight draw, and I only have to pull about 3 seconds to get a killer hit. Again, the slight drawback seems to be vapor production, but that could improve as it breaks in.

The Standard Hybrid will work on all bottom feeders, except the Vmod.
The Vmod requires the slotted version.

From what I'm understanding, I'm glad I ordered the bottom feeders. Who knows though, I might just order some of the regulars too. I have to wait and see.

the bottom feeder hybrid is the best atty I've ever used....impossible to flood...great flavor and awesome vapor..
but I'd recommend trying both as you can use them both on bottom feeders (except not the standard on vMod) then you can
compare for yourself...:)

I read this and thought...hmmm is there a difference.....then I barely suck a very light draw and BAM big vapor. Look Im not a noob and I never ever thought I'd have a learning curve with an atty (nor did i ever so lightly draw on one) but now I get it. Bruce will be happy to know he not getting either back. :)

This review is coming from a veteran with far more experience with attys than I have.
When you say, "best atty I've ever used", that is saying something! I just can't see myself without a Cisco 1.5 on my Woodvil whether it be a 306 or a 510. I will be happy if these Hybrids are just as good as a Cisco and I can put them into a rotation on my Woodvil. Well, if I find that I like them better than a Cisco that will just blow my mind. This wait is getting more and more exciting!
