I got my HH357 today, and I dont know if its broken or if it just sucks big time!

First of all....when you put 3-4 drops in it, the juice runs straight through and down into the 510 connection :-/ its a mess!

Then I take a couple of prime puffs and then vape it! There is very little vape, and the taste is not there. And only after a couple puffs you get a burnt taste.

I get a better vape from a mini protank, and I hate the vape I get from a mini protank.

I dont know if Im doing something wrong or if its broken.

I have followed his instruction video....so...

A rda is 50 time better then this. Im so disappointed.....

Sorry for my "bad" english...

Tja!
Va kul att du har hittat hit! :)

RDA will always be better. This is what i gathered from google.
1. Blow excess primer out only in the direction of airflow (in through battery connector terminal and out through drip tip/mouth piece end)
Do not rinse or clean out primer. It is needed for proper break in. Primer is 50/50 PG/VG

2. Apply enough liquid ( about 5 drops) until a slight gurgle is heard when you draw (cold draw / no power ) if no gurgle is heard add 1-2 more drops

3. Vape some short drags to be sure there is enough liquid and to test different draw speeds. Remember the pump works on vacuum, slow / soft drags are not going to create enough vacuum.

4. If you get a bad taste on first drag, add 1-3 drops try again.

5. A bad taste or light flavor/vaper from a drag means the atomizer is ready for 2-3 more drops, depending on liquid used. 2-3 for all VG. 3-4 for VG PG.

6. Continue to vape and top off with juice until flavor starts to intensify (you will know) atomizer will "hiss" after a drag when its ready to top off, or top off when you get poor flavor.

7. When you feel you "know" your atomizer go ahead and vape hard. Please be aware when your atomier is running dry, Enjoy!!!

    The 357 was a good atomizer, not my favorite, but a good atomizer none the less.
    There is a learning curve to using a dripping atomizer. So I would suggest that you put the 357 away for now, and get a few cheap 510 atomizers to learn how to use them.

    But yes, a RDA is better ......... BUT, you need to learn how to use a RDA too, so why would it be a surprise that you would have to learn how to use an old fashioned dripper?

    This is how I set them up.

    If RDA is better, why should you use one of these?

    I have used the iClear30s, the Mini Protank, Aerotank Mega and Kayfuns, and of course DRIPPERS

    And the only thing that works for me is drippers.

    I thought that this was going to be better. People have been talking about it.....about the amazing flavor and so......but this is the worst of them all!

    No vape, no flavor and messy!

    The 357 existed long before there was such a thing as a RDA. And, trust me that atomizer performs quite well .... once you know how to use it.

    However the 357 was yesterdays news, and RDA's are an advancement of technology, so why do you want to go back in time expecting to find "something better"?

    my 357 was a messy beast it needed a drip shield to lessen the mess but it was i think the first production micro coil atty. and like already said its old..todays rebuildables are way better and less messy i prefere my russian 91. theres many options if your atty is still new contact cisco they should be able to fix the problem if it is at fault

    If it makes you feel any better I went through the same issue with my 357. I bought one becasue I wanted to try one of everything, lol.

    At any rate I never found it satisfying and was too messy to boot. I now have REO mods and thought it might be nice to use it occassionally instead os the RM2 RDA I use normally.

    Nope. So now it sets on a shelf till I get up the gumption to toss a $25 atomoizer I will never use again...
