First of all hello everyone , some really useful info and comments on here,
I just got my first ecig 3 days ago, a black dse901 from TW and 24mg juice
as soon as itried it i thought i would never touch another analogue again.
but after a few uses i only get a decent hit on the first drag, (throat hit is mostly what i need to get off the analogues)
even with a new battery and a new strong cart after the first drag it needs a long rest before i can get any decent vapour,
is this just the 901 as i am now thinking of getting a titan
Any help/advice gratefully recieved

Have you tried dripping straight onto the atomizer?.....I find this much better than refilling the carts.....just 2 or 3 drops on the atomizer should do it.

How much are you putting into the carts when you refill? I find I can get 5 drops in and get a decent length of full vapour as a result

ok just tried both these suggestions, still getting the same sorta results, poor vapour, am i expecting too much , should the amount of smoke be similar to an analogue, if so what would be a good alternative.
Thanks again

Have blown/cleaned out your atomiser?

Hi, Pegasus,
Welcome to forum! You might want to check out igetcha69's video links. He (Scott) reviews a lot of e-cigs, and on his vids you can see the amount of vapour you can expect from a particular model. I reckon it's a good indicator. Still waiting for my kit to arrive, but have tried a disposable (i.e. non-rechargeable!) one, which was RUBBISH. Will be sticking with TW from now on, that's fo sho!
Yo, Prof,
C u in chat room praps?
Cheers,
Freak

Might need a bit more breaking in.
One of my new 901 atomisers took a full weeks vaping to be at full power.
Now 3 months old and after a pepsi bath still going like a train.

in that case mate, definitely send them a polite email to explain the problem. link them to this thread if you like so that way they can see that experienced guys have also confirmed there may be a fault.
its not totally uncommon to get the odd duff atomiser so im sure they will understand.
cheers,
scott

Just a note from a relative newbie: when starting out, it can be difficult to get a consistant draw on these things because of the way you take a drag. I have found that less is more (ie steady, relatively light, and long draw, rather than a hard sharp short one like you would with an analogue)
Until to get used to the draw, it will be a bit inconsistant..... just keep practising your technique. LOL!

Thanks, Angela! That sounds like really good advice. I tend to draw the cr** out of my analogs, and would almost certainly have made that mistake with my e-cig, but now I can avoid it! Thank you     Cheers, Freak |

Peg! Persevere with your 901! Once you got a properly working one, you won't look back! Lol (I'm here, I'm there, the Freak is everywhere!!! ) |

Add a bit of glycerin into the mix and im sure the 901 could outvape the titan |

As you already have a 901 - I''d urge you strongly to get a USB passthrough - no flat batteries and loads of vapour |

You could get paid sitting in a club vaping all evening I' been putting one drop of glycerin in my cart when refilling my titan and been getting that burnt atomiser taste after a while  I wonder if the titan gets too hot for this? |

I've tried it with no problems. Try pushing down the filling of the cart about 2 or 3 mm first. The atomiser coil seems to be very close to it.

Hi Pegasus Glad you are here. I was having the same problem, but I think Angela's answer helped me the most in this respect. I was getting very little actual smoke and I found that a long slow drag helped. It also helped to prevent me from eating the liquid because I was drawing so hard in an attempt to get more smoke that I was eating nicotine... I also cut my liquid with glycerine (from the hobby shop) and that has increased the smoke production. The glycerine seems to make it taste more like sweet menthol also. Happy Vaping Dying |
