Just got a 401

Hey Ty,

It doesn't happen too much, but it sounds like it could be a faulty battery. We will send you a replacement out under warranty. Please mail back the faulty one to us when you receive the replacement.
Please PM or email us with your order #, and your address.

Thanks,

The 401 is a fun device. I could never have quit analogs using it, but I keep one on hand for dire emergencies.

What do you suggest as a main PV then?

Personally I would go with a 2pc unit either a KR808D-1 kit or a GreenCig kit. I use the GreenCig and it's the best model I have used straight out of the box. The carts last much longer than any other that I have used. As you can see I have used quit a few and some not listed, lol! The KR808D-1 is a good choice to go with since you can always get some GC carts to try with that battery since they are compatible. The 2pc models are a lot less hassle, no need to mod anything to get acceptable performance, easy no mess refill, and all the other problems. Do yourself a favor and check it out early in your vaping career, I spent around $150 or so in my search until I nailed it with the KR808D-1 then the GreenCig. I would estimate that 99.999% of us have more than one model that we own and use anyway so it's not unusual to have a few different models experiment and have fun it's still cheaper than 4 cartons of cigarettes a month.

I usually recommend the penstyle (DSE801, BE112) or a DSE901 for a first kit. I own a 401 and it is a fun, reliable device. I like it better hooked to a pasthrough. The additional voltage provides a warmer vapor. Because of the small cartridge size, I often drip or dip the exposed atomizer bridge to ensure a good draw everytime.

I left analogs behind with a penstyle device with the typical screw-in batteries. Recently, I scored a free DSE901 kit from Good Prophets in a competition. I definitely could have quit analogs with that device. The two primary advantages of the 801 & 901 over the 401 was better throat hit (IMO) and larger cartridge capacity (particularly the 801 models).

I primarily drip a BE112 atomizer on a 6 volt devices. This is my current vaping nirvana setup. I do not generally recommend a custom device - often referred to as a 'mod' on this forum - as a first device. I think it is good to experience the e-cig as it was designed, make a mental list of all the frustrating things about it, and use that list to seek out a device that eliminates some of the daily hassles and expenses for your next purchase.

Thanks, Ultra. I'd already emailed you about this at around the same time as I posted about the problems.

With regards to the whole quitting analogs thing, I quit analogs quite readily with a 510 and unexpectedly, I appear to be quitting my 510 with my 401. All this thing needs is a PCC.

I love the 401/2 etc, I've not had a fag for a month since I got one - you've got to check out Intellicig's site - they are the masters of these with fantastic quality all round, just have a look at the reviews and rep the EVO has on this forum (marc01 for free p+p, plug,plug!)- and soon there'll be a PCC available from where you got yours - if you have one already make sure you let us know how you get on with it (who needs a 510 with one of those eh?), I'm gonna treat myself and get one for Xmas!
