im surprised the op can run a 1.2 ohm coil that high(34w) the way i look at the what power to use with what coils is,the lower the resistance the more power is needed to heat the coil is the i stick vv/vw and the op is running it at 3.4 volts and not watts because that would make more sence Sorry I missed your post. I'm so new to this, decoy, but, yes, when I fitted the 1.2 ohm coil, I could go up to 34w with the iStick 50w ... great taste. I'm just glad the iStick does the sums, lol; I leave that to it and just experiment with how high I can go and, moreso, where the best flavour/vapour is. It happened to be 34w in this case.

I have to say I am impressed with kittyvape, she has been deluged with dispirit advise, read it, thanked everyone, learned from it and ask very sensible following questions Thanks so much VapingBad Really appreciate being here, great advice, and it's fun to learn and achieve ... vaping the milk chocolate toffee I tasted using the dripper now; 2nd mix so far, more to come, lol

I just took the drip tip off and could only drip 1 drop of liquid directly onto it ... the next drop rolled off. But I got some vapour and flavour! (Had kept tip on and put 4-5 drops in first, onto 'bridge', but zero). You'll do better to let the bridge absorb your eliquid first Kitty, before you try using it . . . although I may be too late telling you this! Any atomiser, coil & wick combination are best left for around 20 minutes to become saturated before you try using them. If you've over-dripped your 306 and it's gurgly, blow it through onto a piece of vapers kitchen towel before you fire it up again. 306's do also take what I call a little time to ' bed in ' before they're at their best. Thank you Perpetua I'm doing great with it. Found that using it at the watts advised was fine, and actually ended up putting in 6-7 drops ... great vapour/flavour, and very easy to clean by blowing excess out as you've said. Did 3 tastes one after another. All good! Thanks very much for advising about this, as it was certainly great to not need to half fill tanks and clean them!

Have you got a good connection, what's the ohms reading on the iStick ? Yes, Greg, it's showing 2.4 ohms, 4.0v, on 7w. I just took the drip tip off and could only drip 1 drop of liquid directly onto it ... the next drop rolled off. But I got some vapour and flavour! (Had kept tip on and put 4-5 drops in first, onto 'bridge', but zero).

The cream coloured bit is just a cover, whip it off and then the drip tip will fit. It's easier to pull the cover off if you screw it onto mod first. Thanks so much Greg! That certainly took some tugging, lol, but it's all fitted on the iStick 50w now and about to turn the watts right down. Have put a few drops down the drip tip, but nothing's happening when use it. Such a newb, lol

If you are going to try the 306, which are a good choice, please be aware that they are very different to the high-wattage atomizers we commonly use today. Start the journey at a very low wattage - Try 7 or 8 watts. Even 10 watts can be too harsh with them, depending on your juice and your experience feeding them. In my opinion, the best ones are the Cisco 306 1.8 ohms (http://www.ivapour-elixir.co.uk/atomisers/low-resistance-atomisers/cisco-lr510-atomiser.html). They are perfect for mechanicals, so around 4 volts or 9 watts. I've used them for a long time, before the invention of the bottom fed rebuildables, but for me they are now obsolete because the rebuildables are a lot easier to feed and use and deliver a lot more vapour. But the flavour of the 306 is still remarkable. Edith says: Ooops, I linked the 510s, not the 306. They are the same, though, the 510s just have a sleeve the 306 don't have. And you can use a standard drip tip with the 510s. Unfortunately, the vendor seems to be out of stock of the 1.8 306s. Oops, didn't see your post until now. Sorry, chrisde. Thank you for explaining so clearly; tend to use the iStick 50w at up to 35w, so will make sure to turn it right down. None of my drip tips will fit with the dripper, but it ends up being a nice new drip tip for the iSticks, so that's cool. I'd love to go for the Cisco 306 tbh. Have got the page open that you linked to, but will wait to hear further.

Warm soapy water dip, dry, leave is what everyone mainly does? I don't bother doing anything between flavour changes . . . just vape through them kittyvape. An overnight soak in some Bicarbonate of Soda is a better way to clean heads - although strong flavours are better in a dedicated tank, as has been said. 306 drippers are a good way of testing new flavours: www.vapingthings.com/306_BRIDGED__BRIDGELESS_DRIPPING_ATOMISER/p1311952_7045908.aspxYou'll just need a 306 specific drip tip: www.vapingthings.com/306_DRIP_TIPS/cat1311953_1614574.aspx My own first mix is boston mud pie and that seems okay [but is the one that's dropped in flavour as soon as I switched to 0.5 coil), but did a couple of new mixes today (double chocolate mint, and cinnamon coffee cake, all Capella) and keep getting 'off' tastes in the 2 Aerotanks. As spacey has said, unless you give your mixes some time to steep . . . then they aren't going to taste very nice in anything that you use. If you'll forgive me saying, you're trying to do too much, to quickly - without having quite got to grips with what you're doing. Take your time a little more maybe? Hiya Perpetua Just received the 306 dripper and tip, but am unsure what to do now, lol. The drip tip doesn't fit over the dripper; am I right that it should? Looking forward to trying this out!

Places I've ordered from so far (in 3 weeks) ... L & T great (first vendor I ordered from; 2 orders; very reliable, plus included little gift in 2nd order); The Alchemist's Cupboard always great; first Vampire Vape order arrived and chemical had leaked over everything, Nikki was great/sent out replacement immediately via next-day; vapable.com very reliable; Pure Mist forgot to send wall charger for iStick mini, and responded and sent out as soon as I contacted them ... all great. Just placed first orders with myepack, virtualvape and fasttech (couldn't resist ordering iStick 50w sleeve), and have bookmarked other cool vendors I'm seeing here, intending to purchase when the vault is full again, lol

Well, it's up there!
The subject was a text I just received from one of the lads that works in the shop... He then went on to say... Just took a massive hit on my goblin and I felt something hit the back of my throat, spat it out and it's a fried up mangled bug that must have flown in there earlier when I walked the dog!
He then sent me a pic of his coil and said Look at my coil, all the brown bits are its guts and poo and whatever, just spewed everywhere!
I've just stopped laughing, well almost... take head folks, don't say you haven't been warned... dog walking is bad for your health! lol hahaa! Gnat Poo 30ml! note to self: 'wear beekeeper's hat when vaping outside', lol

I've got a Siegeli 30w and prefer my Innokin MVP3 for home use as it's a large mod but battery lasts 2 full days. Thanks shez Will definitely take a good look at the Innokin alongside Sigelei. Great to have the 2 days of battery, I bet. I have that with the iStick 50w, and love the strong flavour. You prefer the Innokin due to battery, or also taste?

Thank you shez, markm, and autumntwist32 I'd mistakenly read somewhere re 100 mAh = 1 hour, plus probably seen someone saying 10 hours, when they were actually talking about v low personal use. Thanks for reassurance, plus it's always good to have a stealth vaper on hand! Aiming to buy a good Sigelei at some point anyway.

Hi I've only had the iStick 10w for about 3 days. Battery seems to be nowhere near 10 hours, depletes very fast. Just now it was flashing 0.9% left, and, when I plugged it in via the USB, it showed over 37% charge, and when I unplugged the USB it showed 29%. Then watched it drop from 23% to 22% as I took one draw. Next draw it shows 16% dropping to 15%. 34% when plug back in to USB. Not sure if this is an issue with the 10w's, about battery or screen display, or a faulty one
