I'm Sal and I've been smoking for over 43years! No lie. But I knew from the first puff that this would be the fix. It's been 10 days now w/o cigs. However, I feel like I'm sucking my brains out. And it isn't me. I dunno if I've got a bad atomizer or if there's a shelf life to these cartridges and I got a bad batch or what. But I'm burning through 5 high cartridges a day. Re-charging about every 3 hrs. and I just noticed (since I ran out of highs and had to drop to mediums til the next order gets here) that I'm getting much more vapor from the mediums.

I'm using the super e mini and I think the reason I'm recharging so frequently is because I'm puffing so hard because I'm not getting the vapor.
Any suggestions by experienced users? Should I change models?

It really matters because I'm so impressed with the success of the science/tech that I'd really like to start a distributorship, like yesterday. But, it has to be the right one.

Please advise.
Thanks a million.

Hey Sal,

I got a super mini for my first one too, and had similar problems. The super mini does not really work well with the carts. Just throw the carts away, they are useless. Just slap the cap onto the end without the actual cart attached to it, you can poke it out with a pin.

Then you need to get some juice, most likely 36mg (that is strong tho, so be careful), and "drip" onto the atomizer directly. 2 or 3 drops, gives you 7 - 10 strong puffs.

I have gotten a 901 since my first super mini, and still use my super mini, right now actually. But you really have to drip the juice onto the atomizer with the super mini, the cart isnt really an option. This method, with this model, actually produces more of a vapor and throat hit like a real cigarette than the 901 does for me.

Try the juice from VaporNine.com - 15ml Strawberry/Vanilla/Marlboro. It is good to use with the PeeWee this way. Has a strong peppery hit, mimics regular smoking more (somewhat, not exactly).

BTW, this general guidance was given to me by Steve from Puresmoker.com when I first started. I followed it, and it's true, Ive been doing it ever since and really is the only reason I didn't give up on e-smoking early on.

And welcome to the forum! I moved your question into its own thread in case others are looking for this information.

Thanks Vape. So, dripping directly onto the atomizer doesn't hurt it? And what don't you like about the 901?

There is no solid answer on that either way. Generally it shouldn't, if you do it in moderation. Over dripping can cause the juice to run down into the battery, and cause it to trigger the atomizer staying on, shorting it out. Or short out the battery. But if you don't put too much in each time, it's usually good.

Ive been through 3 atomizers for the Pee Wee in a month so far. But these things do get gunked up and crap out eventually no matter what. So in theory, this may speed that up. But it shouldn't immediately crap out because you do it, no.

To me, Id rather spend a little extra on the atomizers by using more, going thru them quicker, if it means that the vaping I have with them is better.

I am vaping on a PeeWee (RN-4081) too, and I have been filling my cart with juice for the past few days. i am cutting the 36mg non flavored from totallywicked with a 1/5/9/85 mix. 1 part flavoring from lorannoils.com/5 parts propylene glycol/9 parts Glycerol (Glycerin)/85 parts juice. Gives pretty good vapor and im still getting pretty good nicotine levels. I am also filling my carts with Morning Glory Low Loft Quilter's Polyester Batting (.25") from wally world. Its gonna last me a life time! It's kinda messy when you first try and stuff it in however, I've found a solution.
1. If you take it and unroll about a foot and cut it off.
2. Fold it in half and sandwich it in between 2 towels.
3. With Iron set on high, iron evenly for 20 to 30 seconds.
What this does is take out most of that fluff and kind ah fuse it all together.
4. Without unfolding it cut out a .5"X.5" square.
5. Place Poly into cart.

Ironing it makes it almost the exact same consistency as the original fill.

I have about 1,000 squares cut out, which I used a large paper cutter to do, and i have about 60 carts filled with my juice. I carry around about 7 carts just in case.

The atomizer i have been cleaning by just boiling in distilled water, letting it dry and then giving it a quick blow. I maybe a lot of work but I seem to be getting a system down so that it only takes me about an hour ah week to maintain.

I get good vaper with my mix and the 30ml bottle after cutting, is going to last a while. I too use a lot of those carts.

As for the battery, I am also getting only about 3 hours for a charge because i think i puff on it too much. I am working on a modification for a battery pack. Im hoping it will not make the current battery casing bigger, but i hope to have an end cap that will allow me to just pop in a new battery when i need a new one. This way i can have a 4 slot battery charger, charging 4 batteries at once without the cost of having to constantly buy new ones from an e-cigarette retailer.

I'm surprised you even taste much of the flavouring if it's only 1% of the mix.

Must be one of the rally strong oils like coffee or wintergreen.

jacobl

LOL. I do love the coffee. That's all i use, and thats all i seem to need is 1%. However, the unflavored 36mg from TW actually has a taste. I think it's good.
Even if i didn't use the coffee flavor i think i would still use about 1%, only because anymore and it starts to taste like candy. If it taste like candy, I would be vaping constantly!

One bottle 3.7ml of Lorann Cherry is WAY TOO MUCH for 40ml (2 20ml bottles) of 36mg/ml chocolate flavored juice. When I cut it to a total volume of 60ml with VG is tastes nice. Maybe a little too sweet for some. It's about 24mg/ml cut this way.

If you were a heavy cig smoker like I was , you need a high fogger.. I have the Dura C and the Joye510.. They put out lots of vapers.. Clouds.. And the carts are bigger than the 901s.. Plus if you want a boost you can drip... Mega smoke.. I had a mini super e cig and it didn't cut it.. Then bought these and never looked back. Just order extra juice.. You will love dripping...
