So it’s YOU that does the vids. Love the facial expressions when something doesn’t go quite as planned :) I just ran out of spy juice. Will it be back up on the site soon?

Thinking the end of the week, i had a problem with a bottle supplier, so i had to source them from elsewhere.

Wanted to share my first impressions of these drippers (I vape moderately and have been using them for over 8 hours now):

THESE ARE GREAT! I've used a few other types of LR atties and they all have had one or another issue. 901's you walk a tightrope to keep them working just right and not leaking, some 510's taste horrible as they get a little dry or perform inconsistently, other atties burn your throat as soon as they get the slightest bit dry, finally some just kill your juice's flavor.

Of LR & SR 901's, LR 510's and a 2.5ohm 306 this one beats or comes close in every category making it a clear winner for drippers:
  • This atty has (obviously a guesstimate) maybe 10-20% better vapor than any of my previous top performers and its also pretty consistent (I have to give it an occasional primer draw for the best performance).
  • The vapor thins enough to notice without any foul taste so you know exactly when to add another drop or two. Going too far into dry territory you will obviously get a little throat burn like you do with any LR, but it's very mild by comparison.
  • I experienced no start-up pains at all (no break-in harshness nor primer taste. Of course, there isn't any primer). The only thing that I did notice was a little "popping" for the first hour or so - nothing that splashed juice up or anything, I could just notice it in the draw a little.
  • Without all the extra material you can change flavors at the drop of a hat (I have yet to try cinnamon or menthol but will follow up when I do), and:
  • The flavor comes through great. Surprisingly close to a standard 901, which IMO still has the best flavor for many juices provided you have the patience to pull on it slowly for several seconds. This only takes ~2-5-3.5 seconds for a superb hit.
  • The draw is right about where I like it. It is sometimes a slight bit gurgly when first filled, but not too tight nor loose.
  • TH is just right also. Good presence without being harsh (I sometimes find my SmokTech 1.5ohm 901 too harsh no matter how I use it with some juices).

As far as leaking goes, I'm really don't see a big problem at all. It makes me wonder how many of the people that complain about it have ever tried to use a 901 (which is what I started with). No, these aren't leak-proof (as someone earlier in the thread said: if air can go in, juice can probably find its way out too), but they are easier to deal with than the few different 901's I've tried (it's no mystery to me why empires sells its drip-shields as "901 drip shields"). I've been using 70/30 PG and even 80/20 PG. The worst that has happened a thin ring around the connector - not even enough to have formed a drip or a run. This accumulated after many refills. By this time, I'd have wiped some juice-on-the-run off my atty a minimum of a half-dozen times if I was using a 901. I've wiped around the connector three times now, and again, it wasn't required any of those times - the juice wasn't going anywhere - note that the top of my mod is flat however (http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/modding-forum/195973-2xaa-madvapes-kit-4xaa-box.html)

You obviously can't use these like a 510 that has an intact bridge, there just isn't the material in these to hold onto as much as those do. The solution is all too simple: use less fluid, more frequently. I put no more than 2 drops at a time (same as I do on an SR 901) and as said above, this produces plumes of vapor. Sure, it's slightly more effort if you don't have a dripping mod of some sort, but it's obviously worth it or we wouldn't all be trying these things to start with.

I don't think there will ever be an atty or carto that performs perfectly with all juices in all situations. On the theory that if you've tried these and think similarly of them, you'll probably appreciate this atty as well, here are my other favorites:
  • LR 510 cartos (SmokTek/Boge): The on the go item. Fall into the "average flavor, better than average vapor" category.
  • SR 901's and 510 dual-coil cartos: These are for those "delicate" flavors that present better with less heat.
  • LR 510's [the non-dripper variety] and 2.5ohm 306 atty. Both great drippers that I have appreciated and will continue to use at home to extend the lifetime of these new drippers until I can stock up :thumb:

Well...I learned something yesterday. Unfortunately it seems I need a new battery. It's interesting to me that I hadn't noticed the difference on any other atty I have (maybe the battery JUST started to go? They are about 6 months old) but, upon switching to a fresh-of-the-charger battery I was blown away by this thing. Things did change a bit as a result, so here's the follow up:
  • TH is not just right for me personally. When my battery is running weak, certainly, but otherwise it's a bit too strong for my taste.
  • Absolutely stick to the guidelines and use >=50% VG. The extra heat it generated on a good battery forced me to use more than two drops at a time, and yes, thin fluids fall through the atty. Upon re-reading my original post, I'm apologizing for the way I commented on this point. It is stated right in the product description that VG heavy juice should be used, so still no points lost in my eyes. Fortunately I do have a spec of thicker juice I can use for now and I can tell you that it does hold the thicker juice much better (it's back to the minor moisture around the connector). I can't wait until I can grab a drip shield to use with this - I really get the sense that if I just soaked it, it would power through whatever I wanted to put in there.
  • My vapor production guestimate was off - with the fresh battery and thicker juice, I can't see how you could possibly get more vapor. On that point, a 2.5-3.5 second hit I mention above is NOT holding the button for that long. The atty only has to be active for about half that time to give me what I need.
  • I have also since tried menthol in this, and it still does an excellent job at changing to a new flavor. All I did was blow it out in between.
  • On my good battery at full power, there is now some loss of flavor. It doesn't wash out the flavor, its just not quite as tasty as it was on the weaker battery.
Considering this, I'd really love to try one of these @ say a 2.2ohm or just stick to this at a lower voltage. The output of this thing is just ridiculous at this resistance and beyond what I personally feel I need. If you are that vaper that just can't get a satisfying enough hit from everything you've tried (or you just don't like having to press your button down more than two seconds) you must try these. Keep your finger on that button and you'll be in a vape coma in no time.

Well now you've done it, mister. I just got some of the regular-resistance atomizers from you because you were out of the other ones, and they're not hitting hard enough. Got some cartomizers to try, and they're not hitting hard enough, either. You've spoiled me! I'm ruined forever! Now what am I gonna do? :p

Guys, the deal is I had no idea they would be as popular as they are and i bloody sold them all. lol. The good news is my new shipment of 1.8 dripping atties will arrive tomorrow or Monday and i will have them back up on the site straight away. I only have 100 or so coming in so they will sell out quite quickly, however I am making a new order tomorrow night so that will get here within 14 days. The new shipment will have 1.8 dripping atties, I have also some bauway 1.5ohms coming in without primer and made how I like them :). Dual coil cartos are on the way too for those that use those, and a few ego passthroughs because I had some folks asking for those. Try to stick with me because I get the stuff that folks want, not what I think they want. Keep making requests for stuff you guys want and I will do my best to get it cheap for yas. oh yeah got a few of those swirly drip tips coming in too. Should be able to post stuff is in tomorrow or Monday.
