Day 8: I took my Hybrid LR 1.5 Bottom Feeder off today and replaced it with a Cisco 510 LR 1.5. I have been vaping the Hybrid, non-stop, since I got it on Monday and have been very pleased with it but I was losing the ability to compare it with anything else. When I put my Cisco on my Woodvil the first thing that entered my mind was; Damn, that Hybrid is very much like this Cisco 510! The draw, at least on mine, is nearly the same. So much so that I didn't notice a difference. As for flavor, the Hybrid has to win. That is if I kept it wet which wasn't hard to do because it's difficult to flood. Well, I can't go that far. The flavor is just as good on the Cisco but it's harder to keep the Cisco at the perfect point where the flavor is great. You know, between being flooded and getting that dry hot hit. That's more of what I mean it's just hard for me to explain. Also that Hybrid seems to hit harder too. I don't mean it hits hotter just harder like comparing an analog full flavor filter with an anolog non-filter. That's the kind of hit that I mean, filter or non filter. I really can't complain about the Cisco because there isn't that much of a difference. I will say this though, the Cisco has already proven to me to be a workhorse so only time will tell with the Hybrid. It's safe for me to say that the one I got from my first order has, so far, been very durable. I go thru about six to eight ml's a day and running it with an AW IMR 18650 that really puts a jolt to an atty tells me that this atty is probably going to last. I think what I'm trying to say is I have found a way to vape the LR 510 and switch to a LR 306 whenever I want to and still get a good draw from either. I like the way a Cisco 510 draws but I also like the hotter and harder hit from a 306. I've been trying to use the Cisco 306 LR 1.5 for a long time but I decided, just before this Hybrid came to my attention, to quit buying the 306 because of the draw issue I was having. It looks like this Hybrid has come to my rescue so I can now enjoy both types of attys.
Like I said in an earlier post I had to send one of the first two back that I got from COV because it metered way out of spec. and I still haven't gotten a reply from either of my messages. I really hope the quality control is picked up by the folks who make these Hybrids because it would be a down rite shame if these suddenly drop out of the market. This is a good thing that COV has going and I'd like to see them keep these on the market but I can't order attys that are suppose to be 1.5 ohms and they turn out to be 2.8 ohms. Maybe that was a fluke and just bad luck, I don't know. I ordered two more and put a note with my order with my concern. I got them today and they both measure at 1.6 ohms which I can live with all day. Some folks might not be as picky as I am but when I order a 1.5 ohm atty I expect it to be whithin + or - 0.1 ohms. I have never gotten a Cisco that was more than 0.1 ohms out of spec and that's why I don't mind paying top dollar for those attys but I'm not going to pay that much for something I can't depend on. I really hope this atomizer, the Hybrid I mean, succeeds because I am becoming a big fan of it.
I'm going to put one of the new ones I got today on my Woodvil in a bit and put it thru an extended run to see if it too holds up. I'm really hoping it does.
