I'm trying to use a VK/Nebula/KR808 PV. I find that while there is a satisfactory throat hit, I exhale almost no vapor. The hit seems to be very "dry" even with a brand new cartomizer. Is this typical? It just doesn't have the right kind of feel to me, and I'd like to hear your ideas on the likelihood of it being a user issue (me) or if it could be the device.

So many here seem to LOVE their KR808, and I was hoping to have a similar experience.

My sentiments and experiences were similar. But it is my understanding that there is a variation of vapor and throat hit that you will get from different cartos (flavors) and different strengths.

I was able to "up" the vapor and "moistness" of the carto by refilling it with my favorite VG based liquid.

Is that your first PV?

My 510 is a bit on the dry side also compared to cigarettes. I've gotten used to it and keep a drink handy. It also helps to keep the cart full.

Use your cartos on a battery mod. I'm using them with an adapter on a Chuck, and it's so much better than the stock 380mAh batteries.

The cartomizers at vapor4life seem to work much better for me than the other brands.Some brands have a harsh peppery dry taste and I dont care for it.Its just my thoughts,hope it helps.

With my KD I've found that I take a 2 second vape with just enough pull to light up my LED, then quickly vape for about 4 seconds and get a perfect hit and good vape every time. Of course a freshly charged battery and cartomizer really help too.

I just got my Nebula kit yesterday and find that I, too, get a throat hit but little vapor. Hoping that the atomizer in the cart just needs to be broken in.

Maybe you can try different flavors. If it is your first time trying it, it is normal. After all, it is different from the normal cigarette. For the sake of your health, try more healthy e-cigarette.

i have a feeling you are sucking to hard (that's what she said?) anyway.... you only need to suck hard enough to activate the LED , you should hear a crackling sound of the cartomizer. You also may have a dud cartomizer which unfortunately happens more than i would like. I get great vapor from my KR808D-1 cartomizers and all the vendors i have tried from nHaler to vapor4life all perform the exact same.

I find if i hold the vapour in my lungs for a long period of time, before exhaling, I also get no smoke.
