my new 901, ok help me out here?

[Flitzanu]

i finally got a 901 and...well...what am i doing wrong?

the draw is pretty difficult, and i can't seem to activate it without covering the little pinhole on the atomizer which of course heats it up way quick, and i'm getting plenty of juice in my mouth.

basically i'm not getting good results with this thing (i'm NOT pointing fingers at a distributor) compared to my evo/pilot. everyone loves these things, so i'm taking it that i'm doing something wrong here. what am i missing?

there was a learning curve with the 401, but i think i have it down pretty good, but this one, i'm just not doing something right maybe??

yes, charged the batteries 12 hours, checked the carts, didn't overfill, batteries work fine, all that

or...is this a sign of battery loss? it was a little more bearable when i pulled the battery off the charger, but now it's just...turning into a bad time.

love me and help me

If its hard to draw there might be an airflow problem. Try removing the plastic cap that covers the led.

the LED doesn't light up unless you cover the hole?

[Flitzanu]

well, i can get it to light up, but with copius amounts of sucking. insert joke here.

also a lot of whistling, like, there's too much air flow, and not any "vacuum" to pull and activate, if that makes sense?

Flitz - it could be the battery switch is a bit reluctant to operate. Have you tried removing the atomizer and sucking on the battery a few times. It should light up without too much effort. They can be this way when new.
One fix i have read is to give the battery a swift tap on either end on a hard surface to kinda "shake it loose". Haven't done it myself though so i guess i'm saying be careful.

Also how easy is it to draw just through the atomizer? The way i check for a clogged atomizer is to remove the battery, plug the battery hole with a fingertip then suck gently on the atomizer. Again it shouldn't be too hard to draw through it. I can normally draw through mine without getting any juice come back out of it.

Are both batteries the same or is it just the one.

if you don't cover the hole, is the draw difficult?

[Flitzanu]

ok i'm failing basic troubleshooting here. haha.

the battery does light up fairly easy if i puff on it (the battery threads). i think it may be losing charge. i tried another battery and it's lighting up much easier and seems to be working correctly.

i'm shaking my head as to why i haven't toyed with the batteries it may just be a little faulty, but i'm new to the model so i can't say just yet. i'm going to try (got 5 batts) the others and see how they perform.

my thought was it was something to do with the atomizer, since it felt like i was just sucking air like it wasn't getting through to pulling the battery, but seems i'm just dumb. haha.

thanks guys...i'll dork around with it some more and see what i come up with.

the new battery is...much nicer. THIS is the kind of performance i was wanting to see, as my friend has one that is pretty nice, and i just wasn't being impressed

Flitz--What is up!!! First the Pilot blows you out of the nightclubs and now the 901 is fighting with you--Maybe you need to give them a pep talk--What a party animal!!! Next thing you know, you will be telling us you are moving onto the Penstyle--Keep up the good work lol---Sun

Good to hear you have a good one. The little switches on these can be stiff to begin with. They do break in after a while.
What some people will do is suck and blow on the battery to get it moving easier.

Enjoy and happy vaping.

I read a post about instering a paper clip very gently into the hole on the battery to loosen up the pressure plate, never did it but I did read about it on this forum somewhere.
