Dear Anne Landers,

I wish I loved atomizers as much as I love my Reo. I just don't understand why they are so inconsistent one atty to the next. A while back I bought 3 Cisco 1.5 306s. The first one lasted for 6 weeks. It worked great during that time then died a sudden death. A week ago I put on the second one. That one died today, one week later. I use the same juice on the same devise with the same batteries. Grrr....

I've bought Joye 1.5 306s in the past as well. I had some really good ones but more bad ones as compared to Ciscos but they were half the price too. I'm always torn which to buy, Ciscos or Joyes because of the price difference and the inconsistent quality found in all atomizers. I usually end up buying the Ciscos.

I almost ordered an HH 357 yesterday until I saw the price of $27 in my cart with shipping and tax. That would hurt too much have one go south in a few weeks.

Maybe I should start looking a bottom fed rebuildable attys.

I hear ya Itrainer. Sometimes they work great but most the time its a uphill battle with these damn attys. So far my favorite atty is cisco 510 2 ohm. I went back and tryed a joye 510 ... not good compared to cisco. Also tryed cisco 306 1.8 ohm ok but not like my 510 2.0 Got some coming from Ikenvape hope they perform ok. I was just gonna ask what everybody is using on top or their Reo. Hmmm rebuildable attys....

This is exactly why I love my boge cartos which I can usually find some kinda deal on so they run like $1 a piece and i get about a week out of them before I just toss them cuz I feel like a freahy. Not to mention I can vape standing on my head if I choose and they NEVER leak and are always consistant. No learning curve or break in period just slap it on blind squonk it a couple times and vape your .... off. Yes I'm definitely a Cartonaut/Reonaut

I completely agree Dave. My concern too is if we will be able to buy our nic juice.

I'm with you on the bottom-fed rebuildables. Then you are your own Quality Control, and with looming legislation that could endanger our whole industry, it's a good idea to be able to vape 'off the grid' as it were.

Dear Brain Attyed,

I share your pain. One 306 is great for 2 months, one lasts only a week; however, if I budget one a week, it is still only $40 per month, and cheaper than cigarettes.

That said, help is on the way from Scubabatdan. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/233764-scubabatdan-got-reo.html

I hope that all of your vaping is good.

Love Ann.

Should have pulled the trigger on the HH357 ..... you wouldn't have regretted it one bit .... :)

Its the only atomizer I've ever liked and they just keep performing like new week after week with little to no maintenance.

I really feel like Cisco attys have gone down hill fast. The first few I had from almost a year ago outlasted several of the new ones.

IMO the key to making them last is rotating and giving them a break once and a while. Just chugging away on a single atty day after day never worked for me.

I've had good luck with the dual coil atomizers and it's all I use on my Reo's. They have outlasted 510 and 306's. I've had a couple of HH357's but didn't care for them or the price tag but it was more the atomizer itself but to each his own. Mine was from the second run and they were still working the kinks out at the time.

Well I've had a Ressurector sitting around here for a while to use as an emergency backup. Well yesterday I put it on and its great. I'm getting good, consistent vapes from it. What I found is that until I really got it wet(almost flooded) it didnt vape all that great but once it was completely juiced up its really very nice. If it lasts 3 or 4 days I'll be ordering some more from CCV.

I think the heat and vaper from it exceeds what I was getting with the lr 306 and its certainly less finicky. I vape menthol so nuance of flavor isnt important to me.
