306

LR901's are still my favourite for dripping.

This should help. It about the Cisco (high spec) 306 atty but they are basically all the same in overall makeup

These are my second favourite regular atty after LR901 atties

Well, that's an interesting read, and a good review, but I'm still none the
wiser as to what uniquely distinguishes a '306' (or a 901 or an 808D)
from a '510'.

Is it just a number used by Cisco for that particular model?
Is it a particular configuration of components?
Is it because the drip tip fits over the outside rather than the inside?
Is it because the threads are different?

I suppose the real question is what do the numbers really mean?

Prof, that was a very useful link, thanks. What does the "306" refer to though?

I got a starter kit from Jason, came with a charger Gordy.

i bet it doesnt produce much vapour LOL

"306" is just name given to the e-cigs that originally used that type of atomiser - as it's a "3" series number I suspect it was a JOYE made ecig. A 306 atty is basically an atty with a 510 compatible thread and a bridge which protrudes from the end of the atty - drip tips slide over the atty rather than plug into the top. 306 atties originally came with really weeny cartridges but I've never seen one. The 306 has turned out to be a brilliant dripping atty and which is frequently modified. The big atty companies make standard 306 atties and people like Cisco and others supply enhanced/modified versions. They all have basically the same format...

cheers prof.

Just complicate matters, you can also get bridgeless 306 atomisers and "hybrid" atomisers where you have a 510 or 901 outer atomiser body and bridgeless 306 "working bits" inside:

Cisco is the name of the US modder who has made a business making "improved" atties. The standard Cisco LR atties of all types are excellent.

Wow, thanks for all the great information - especially Prof Beard. That clears up the puzzle for me.

There seems to be general agreement that the LR901's are the best, but this would mean investing in a suitable 901 device - I'm guessing that just using a 501-901 adaptor to one of my 510 devices is not going to get the best out of these?

So probably best for me would be to get one of the recommended 510 fitting 306 atomisers plus a drip tip that fits it.

I've used adapters with no noticeable drop in performance, but it's less faff to get something that just fits

[profbeard]

You can get extremely neat 510 to 901 "stealth" adapters - they add hardly any length at all. Using adapters should not adversely affect performance

[domesticextremist]

Many thanks profbeard for those explanations.

[dave]

Liberty Flights do short 510 - 901 adaptors are they the right ones? I see Cloud 9 and Vapescape do adaptors as well - are they all the same?
My worry about using an adaptor though is doesn't this in effect add extra air holes? I am wondering if that might not affect vaping with one?

[Gordy]

the 901 has a different airflow system and doesnt draw air up through the battery connector like a 510 would. instead it has a vent hole in the side of the atty (see pic) i have found this leaks quite a bit if you over fill and the juice gets past the coil

[dave]

Gordy you are a veritable mine of information. If I stick one of these on a 510 with an adaptor I will therefore get two lots of airflow I asssume? Since I don't like too airy a vape I think I will go with a straight 510 fitting 306 atomiser to start with and maybe get a 901 battery in the future to try the LR901's on. I don't want to have to do another sellotape mod
I find all this stuff fascinating - probably the truth is that at my stage in the game and the hammering my taste buds have had over the years I wouldn't be able to tell the difference anyhow
