Sneak Peak: The Hybrid 306/510 Atomizer

[SMKNOMOR]

Hi Violet! I don't know what I'm doing or not doing, but I keep getting massive vapor. My draws are approximately 2 seconds and just a sort of soft draw (not terribly light, and certainly not a strong pull).

Also, my Mini seems to be self-feeding and even if I do squonk, I don't sense it in the atty. Nevertheless, there's plenty of juice in it, and the juice in the bottle of the Mini is reducing.

It all seems a bit magical right now. As I said, this is Day 6! Imagaine tomorrow

I'm Assuming you have the BF's right Kat? Mine are stiff draws so I have to go slow but I have regs.

I agree with Magnus on the quality control issue. I ordered two 1.5 bottom feeders and the one I sent back measured 2.8 ohm's. The one I kept measured 1.7 and is vaping and holding up very well but I would still like to try them at 1.5 ohm's. I ordered two more today and in the note with my order I asked Bruce if he would check them before sending them to me. I sent an email to COV before I returned the one and also left a phone message but so far I haven't gotten a reply from either.

Ooooooooo! A hard draw and a teensy bit of vapor.

Ahhhhhhhh... soft draw and back to magical.

Thanks, VioletVoo (what is a Voo?)

Doesn't matter if I draw soft or hard. Vapor production seems to be the same... Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

These hybrids were absolutely made for the REO. Fantastic really. I did have to push the pin in on my 1.5, but has been excellent since then.

 

[Katdarling]

LNate, did you adjust the center pin at all? AG posted specifics on this. I dunno, but perhaps that might help?

Hello Reet of Reo fame! Remember me?

 

[MagnusEunson]

Yeah, for me it's softer slightly slower draw and lots of vapor. Two/three seconds, four tops, and a bit soft. Fairly close to perfect in that case. -Magnus

I'm using the non BF so I didn't think any adjustment was necessary...

Don't get me wrong. It works well, but I'm reading all these posts about short draws and columns of vapor and it makes me wonder.

Early this morning I fired up the standard once more and it's still alive.

Got started on the bottom-feeder version after seating it, or at least trying to, and so far, so good. It does feel a bit loose and airy to me though but the anti-flood and reflow feature works exactly as described. That's cool. I mean I could adapt to the different feel easily for the range it allows me to have with feeding/overfeeding.

It kinda sits what appears about half-a-thread higher than the standard in the same cup and connector. It's seated as far as I can get it. It's not causing a problem at this point but I wonder if it will. -Magnus

did you try adjusting the center pin on the bf?

 

[MagnusEunson]

did you try adjusting the center pin on the bf?

Well no but only because it died in about two hours. I've rinsed it out and it's drying so I can take a look inside as best I can for any obvious problems. -Magnus

 

[SMKNOMOR]

I dont know, I have been vaping my reg's for a couple hrs a night on several PV's but I havent gotten to some of the wow performance others have. I tried the slow soft draw and my pin is a bit in from the thread but it still fires. The taste is ok but the vapor is really lacking. IDK, I'm going to pop the second reg on and see if there is a difference if I cant get this one to puff good tonight.

Are the BF's better than the reg's?

 

[Katdarling]

I have one of each, SMK, but have not yet tried the regular. I'm still adoring the BF!

 

[Levitas]

My initial impression on these attys is that they hit harder than any other atty I have ever tried. Which is good. But, my throat is a little tender from how beast they actually are. I am going to rest up the throat and try again. Is there such a thing as too powerful? Oh my.

 

[MagnusEunson]

Since the bottom-feeder died I've been back on the standard the whole day. I think it's done "breaking in" and it's been pretty good, pretty darn good. I can't wait to get the bottom-feeder swapped out and drive that again though. -Magnus

First impression on the 1.5Ω version is wow, just awesome.

 

[kirst310]

I just put a brand new 1.5 bf on my Reo mini and then pressed the button (after priming) and then smoke came out of the body of the reo and the spring had collapsed. What is the cause of this?

Kind of nervous to try it on my other mini now, should I be?

 

[upStomp]

My 1.5Ω just died. Shows as an open circuit on the meter. 6+ days, maybe 3-4 hours per day (I was on a carto at work). Boo! I'll go back to the 2.0Ω Hybrid after I've reacquainted myself with a Cisco 306 for a while.

 

[Tripster]

I have found that once an atty gets quite warm, its best to let it completely cool down and repeat...this is how I get the longevity out of any atty. So far the 1.5Ω has exceeded my expectations for sure, awesome throat hit, great vapor production, great flavor and these actually cool down much faster than regular atties.

I'd give this hybrid a 5 on a scale from 1-5 but this is just day one and will keep ya'll updated on my experience of these.

Thankfully that didn't happen to my Darwin. 8-o
