Reduced Vapor?

**bri1270** · 05-18-2009, 10:42 PM

Hey guys - got my pipe today. I have a couple of questions, but first a comment - They could certainly do a better job of packaging these things. All of the material is there, they simply need to compress the items into the foam more securely and put a piece of thin cardboard on the top to hold it all in.

Anyway - in the instructions it says there should be a bracket which looks like a little folding chair that holds the pipe when you set it down. Did anyone else get one of these? Mine did not come with one.

Now I play the 12 hour waiting game...

Understandable Raul. Could you give us a couple sentence typed update instead? Your first vidreview was incredibly beneficial.

The only thing that kills me is the fact that if the atomizer goes it's $42 to replace the it and the nice wooden bowl goes straight to the garbage. Does there look like any way to clean these to prolong the atomizer life? Has anyone had an atomizer go out on them? What is the expected life on these? I know there is a one year warranty but by the time you pay shipping both directions it would almost be the same to just buy another atomizer.

got a month and 3/4 on mine so far with no problems. (heavy use almost only thing I have been vaping ) If I can get 2 months on an atty considering the price of analogs its cheap

Does anyone know where we can get batteries for the 601?

And can someone explain to me why we have to charge the battery for 12 hours when all it's really doing is sitting on the charger not charging for about 8 of those 12 hours?

It's interesting, the atomizer doesn't look any bigger than the one on a DSE701/Cigar. I thought there might be a little more beef to the pipe atty, but it's really all about the battery and the aesthetics of the pipe itself. Don't get me wrong, I love it. It hold an awesome amount of liquid, almost all of which can actually be vaped; the battery life is great, and the ergonomics of it make it extremely comfortable even though it's reasonably heavy compared to other devices.

I just ordered one last week from ruyan, plus an extra atty. Now I can have two fog blowers going at the same time. Do a google search for the battery. Let us know if you hunt one down.

I just follow the instructions. Does not make sense to me either.

I just follow the instructions.

I guess it's a good thing the instructions don't tell us to insert as a suppository for 8 hours.

Folks, help me out here with some suggestions. I am getting reduced vapor, off and on, from my week old 601. I am only using cartridges. Batteries are fresh from the charger.

I know that flooding or a dry atomizer can cause this. I drained the pipe a day ago and cleaned up the inside of the atomizer chamber and it worked much better.

Today, vapor is weak again and a 'blow out' did not seem to work so I ran the cleaning cycle for about 15 seconds and loaded up one of the carts that came with the kit. (Nasty stuff; my wife hates it). Still seems a bit weak on vapor, throat hit is minimal, at best, but better than the cart I filled.

Suggestions? When I top off a cart I make sure no liquid pools on the top so flooding may not be the primary problem. I did consider that the juices I may be using do not produce big vapor. Perhaps I am puffing too much on it and it cannot keep up with me? Or am I just getting used to the pipe that it no longer impresses me or am I forgetting something basic? Thanks.
