Teach me to 306 please?

[Commie]

So while waiting on the new Reomizers, I've decided to try Cisco 306.

Those things seem to run pretty warm, glad I got the delrin tips instead of metal. I can feel the heat even through the plastic.

Two questions though:

1. Is there a trick to taking the drip tip off? It seems so tight. Feels like if I pull on it any harder, I'll break the 510 connector off my mod. Too scared to try it on a Reo

2. How does one squonk them properly? There's no gurgle to them, so not sure when to stop blind squonking. And can't see into them, so not sure how to not so blind squonk. Should I just squonk til I'm spitting juice?

3. Ok, maybe three questions. The flavor and throat hit are pretty good. Not really that outstanding, but better than cartos. However, amount of vapor doesn't really impress me that much. More than a Boge carto, less than a shorty smoktech, and much less than the way I set up my RBAs. Am I doing something wrong? I thought huge plumes of vapor were 306s' trade mark?

Thank you!
Commie

I like the pyrex tips on them. That way I can see the juice. The 306 L.R. like to have plenty of juice. They are a bit finicky so it is a task to learn just how much juice to give them.

You should be getting lots of vapor. If you over flood them the vapor will drop.

They do run hot. Some like the xtra tall tips on them.

The drip tips sometimes get stuck on pretty tight. If cool they come off easier.

I blind squonk mine all the time. It might be a little quieter than other atty's.

They work well on the REO. Don't be afraid of them and try it!

good questions commie, I can't help because the last time I used a 306 I ran it so hot that the drip tip that surrounds it melted into the sides of the darn thing

Some people have had to freeze them to take off the tip. The pyrex I use are not too bad. They keep the heat down to a good level. Metal tips do seem to stick a little more is what I found.

I use bauway lr306's all the time,
I use a long cannon tip, 38mm long, the trick with the tip, is not to push it on too tight, put it on so it just grips, & then when you get the atty warm, & it swells slightly, it grips the tip, & getting it off when it's cool, isn't so much of a problem, just give it a twist as your gently pulling it

Cool, I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I ended up leaving the drip tip about 1/8" away from the bottom, so I can take it off without destroying old ego batteries

Strangely, the squonking's gotten very easy in just a few hours. It seems a lot more forgiving than HH357.

And the amount of vapor went up. Maybe the atty needed to "break in". A process I thoroughly don't understand.

I recall reading maybe a day of break-in sometime, which matches what I see, before they will really hit their stride.

I use a shorty stainless steel drip tip, quite happy with it, on a GV 306 sleeve.

I get a bit of gurgle if I inhale, before pressing the fire button. If it isn't there I squonk.

I definitely get clouds of vapor running a debridged (unintentionally ) Cisco 306 on a VV Grand.

Where do you find a variety of Pyrex drip tips for covering the 306 nerak? I usually stay at 2.00 ohm. What 306 s are you liking nerak?

 

[markfm]

Perhaps TheEcig for pyrex 306, though I haven't used them.

Use save10 coupon to save 10%. I usually buy from their clearance. Not bad prices.

 

[Commie]

Very nice! I'll have to try that. Thanks again, Karen!

There is no exact science when dealing with the 306's. I've pulled them apart when taking off the factory condom. Oops!

Sounds like you are flooding your 306 they give real good vapour. They were all I used until I started my RBA's. your not going to pull the 510 connection out of your Reo. I know they are way to her than egos. I broke several egos before moving to reos get a couple of the clear plastic tips Avid has them and then u can see how my h juice is in on the atty. about a 1/16inch ring is perfect.

 

[Commie]

Not that I don't believe you, but I just couldn't bring myself to yank that hard on my Reo. Broken Egos are ok. Just grab them with some rusty pliers and pull

Also, that was quite a few autocowrecks

Hmm. Yep. I'm on iPhone and tired eyes I trust u got it tho. I use my Reo for seperating drip tips all the time. They are a press fit and very tough.

I didn't ever freeze the stuck ones. I made sure they were very dry and clean and put them in fridge for a few hours in a baggie. The main point, though, is to get the metal to contract ever so slightly.

Also, having a few 306 w pyrex DTs take dives onto rocks..... if the fit is loose the DT generally jumps off and hasn't shattered. I have a bunch of pyrex DTs from same vender. They all differ in ID even though they are designated as for Ciscos.

These are all from 2011 when they first came out. Things may be more consistant now.

My favorite DT with 306 was the Pyrex.
