510

Anothertime

I go back and forth between a dse901 and the J510.. I really love them both.. Actually I also love the M401.. Guess I'm fickle

Hawkeye

5 Volt Prodigy!! Warning, however. If you try a 5 or 6 volt PV, you will not want to go back to those "wimpy" battery PV's.

Edit: I've used the 801, 901, 401, 4072, 510, Screwdriver and several pass throughs. Manual batteries with 5 or 6 volt power is the top of the line. Being able to get 6-8 hours on one battery and getting consistent throat hit every inhale is a huge improvement over the "hit or miss" 1-2 hour auto battery models. I don't mess with carts anymore and just drip on the atomizer which makes the whole process easier and less messy. And the BE112 atomizer is the best I've used.

Another advantage to models such as the Prodigy, GG, GLV, Silver Bullet, etc is that I no longer have non smokers accuse me of smoking. I'm able to vape without being told I am still "smoking" as I was when I used the 901 or 401, etc.

808D series due to longevity of cartomizer and battery. Unless of course you go mod, but I'm not crazy about a screwdriver for a cig imo.

510

I've got a 901 and 510 going at all times and usually 2 of each ready for action. If I'm not careful I'm going to get hooked on these things.

510 on a 4.2V Chuck.
Almost unbeatable...(The only thing I've found that beats it, I can't tell you about yet )

Anothertime

Yepper... can't decide between the two...and then there is the M401... oh dear...I need to stop trying different types.. I'll need a bigger carrying case.

nebraskapuffer

I've got a 401 too that I like using once in a while for a change and there isn't a thing wrong with it either. There are those that swear by the 401 and thats fine....I can understand. I just got used to my trusty ole 510 and 901 before I got the 401.

highping

I already posted that the 510 is my choice, but I think it might be even more helpful if ppl posting their fav also posted all models used.
I mean saying 510 is the best doesn't really mean anything if it's the only one I've tried. So...
I own and use 510, 401, 901, 801, 4081, KR808, and GC.
The 510 is my goto choice every day.

Somewhere I read that anyone that likes the 510 is an idiot basically. Maybe it was a salesman for another brand or something and it seems this guy was pushing a green something or the other. For that reason I'll remain an idiot with my 510 and never touch anything with green in its name. I see you have an 801 also highping, I've got one and I hate it but I'll never say your a fool if you like yours. Different strokes for different folks but it seems for the most part all but one that I know of likes their 510.

highping

That was probably Snarky He's a good guy, but always bashing the 510.

The 801 sucks on a 3.7V stock battery and even a 5V passthrough, but is quite good on a 6V mod. At 6V with an 801 I get a thick full cloud with great flavor.

nebraskapuffer

I don't have an 801 mod but using it stock after working fine for a while I suddenly have juice all over the place. It just seems to flood at will.

Hawkeye

Standard 801 is like sucking on air to me and any auto battery model will have flooding and leakage problems. The 801/BE112 on a 5 or 6 volt model such as the GLV or Prodigy is like "night & day" in comparison to standard models. Great vapor, great throat hit, longer lasting enjoyment due to the larger atomizer and dripping and most of all "consistency".

To all posting on this thread: Go to the top and vote in the poll if you haven't done so already. Only 13 voted so far and it would be nice to have as many vote as possible so the data has some credibility. Thanks.

O84's Rule!

Hachiroku

I would but my 084 died an early death (um, 5 days?!?!?) and all I have right now are 510s. I have an 808 atomizer that fits on the 510, and the differences would be hard to discern. The 510 with a 510 atty hits HARD but tastes a bit funky, the 808 atty is a lighter hit but tastes GREAT! If I want a kick in the lungs the straight 510 wins, if I want smooth taste the 808 wins. The 084 was light hit/light taste. It died while I was trying to make it produce more vapor.

highping

I have to say, the poll is a little misleading.
The 'mod' choice should either not be there, or should be selectable in addition to the preferred model.
I use a 510 on a Chuck. So do I select 510 or Mod?
The 'Mod' is 99 times outta 100 going to mean battery mod (not atty mod), so regardless of what mod you use (SD,SB,Chuck, etc), you are going to be screwing in an atty of one of the other selections.

Anyone else agree with this???

(BTW: I selected Mod, but then realized I took a vote away from my 510 )

Edit: Hachiroku quit killing attys, you're going to deplete the whole supply chain. What are you doing plugging them into the wall socket?

Hachiroku

Right straight into my computer power supply. One switch, a blinking LED, no current limit. I killed the 084 by reaching inside of it, I kille one 510 bathing it in alcohol, and another one by hooking it up the the PSU and trying a 6 second vape! It didn't like that. There was a snapping sound, and then it vaped like a bat out of Hades for about 2 hours, and in the AM...stone cold.

Next experiment will have a 2 amp limiter. I tried a 1 amp limit but the wattage just doesn't get high enough to vape correctly.

Hmmm...wall socket, eh?

highping

let's see 2.5 ohms, 110VAC whats that work out to...oh yeah I know...fireworks show!! Make sure you get a vid of that

Hachiroku

It wouldn't be the first time! I used to have a Variac for some of my hair (or is it hare?) brained crap I've pulled over the years. Usually the stuff I make works, sometimes right off the bat, but sometimes it needs some 'massaging' to get it to work correctly.

Other times? POW!!! Yup...get a Variac!

One job I had when I was in my 20's was testing industrial power supplies (up to about 5-600 watts) for Underwriter's Labs certification. We would try to simulate real-world failures, like liquid spills, etc. We had some heavy guage jumpers to put across various circuits, set the Variac for 120V and snap the circuit to life. Most of the time, the engineers built enough fault tolerance into the designs to anticipate just about any situation, but you can't protect everything. POW! As long os it didn't flame up, we were OK. I had a lot of explosions, a lot of transistor-frying smoke, but only one fire I can recall.

Of course, then we would put a .2mF (micro Farad) capacitor rated for 35V across the AC input terminals when someone was at lunch, and they'd come back, snap the Variac on and....

POW!!!

I had some pretty cool jobs!

Hachiroku

I killed ANOTHER one! I'm going to change my name here to Atilla or something!

Of course, that one underwent some 'experiments' early in it's life, too, so it was on it's way by the time I got some good advice. Made it 6 whole days. Let's see how long the new one goes...

Hachiroku...the atty slayer

I choose the 510 because this is to me the best PV for beginners and a great staple for those that own several PV's. I will always have a 510 rig with me no matter what other PV's I'm carrying.
