mwa102464, You know not of what you speak! I have one of each, 510 Hybrid from COV and HH .357 from Avid. I have had the 510 Hybrid for 4 days now. What I can count on with these are, juice leaking from the battery connector, an inconsistent vape, and tons of frustration. I have used the 510 Hybrid 2.0 ohm with my eGo, Bombshell at 4.2 v, regulated 5v box mod, and my Pearl Pulse AV @ 3.5 v. I have used 80 PG/ 20 VG, 50/50, and 70 VG/ 30 PG e-liquids. And I have tried every possible combination of PV and juice. The end result have all been the same. I am thankful that my losses were only $9 and countless hours of trial and error.
I received my HH .357 this morning. The first thing I did was visually compare the two. There is a noticeable difference between the two coils and mesh that surrounds the cups. The next thing I did was read the clear cut instructions for Optimum Performance and Cleaning Procedure. The only information COV offered was the obvious specs and stated that "This is an advanced user device. Keep wet at all times". Exactly what constitutes an advanced user? With a little information, anyone can use this device. After I blew out the primer, oh I forgot to mention that all the .357 attys are hand modded and tested before sale. I placed the atty on my eGo battery and dropped 4 drops of my 80 PG/ 20 VG juice into the atty. Took one cold draw to pull the
e-liquid through the wicking system, then I took my first sip. OMG, the flavor, TH, and vapor blew my mind. After a few more sips, all as satisfying as the first, I topped up. At this point I decided to clear my schedule for the day so I could give this baby a good hard test drive. Its now been 6 hours of chain
vaping and I can contest to the love of this atomizer. Was it worth $22? Absolutely!
IMO, you really cant compare the two atomizers, its just not fair. Its like comparing a BMW to a KIA. The original inventor, of this Cisco LR 306 modded into a 510 sleeve atty, realizes that some folks may have issues with their atty and that not everything is perfect and flawless. Hanna will personally, stand behind his product.
No, I am not being paid to say this and I have nothing to gain. I just want to share my experiences and opinions with other vapers.
