Help? Did I buy the wrong e-cig?

[MickiO]

I just bought a M-201, after hearing about the "great" throat hit. I have to just about suck my eyes to the back of my head to get vapor, it's giving me a headache trying

Does anyone else have a M-201 or know if this is normal, do they have a hard draw???

M201's are the BEST penstyle on the market IMO. If you are used to the easy draw of an 801 or other PV with multiple holes, it may be a bit different.

Try drawing slower and with not as much force .... Inhale for 4-5 seconds slowly and you should get a great hit

I do have an 801, and I love it, was just looking for something with a little more kick, first thing in the morning, or times when I want to feel it when I inhale, so I can take a few hits and lay it down. I have trouble putting my 801 down, trying to get "that hit". lol

[CaSHMeRe]

lol ... definitely understandable MickiO --

If my memory serves me correctly, the draw is infact a bit more tight on the m201 over the 801. The m201 pulls air from the battery chamber as well, while the 801 doesn't.

A big reason for a harder throat hit does have to do with the amount of holes IMO ... I got a much better throat hit on an m201 over an 801, until power was increased.

Try blowing the M201 out and starting from scratch -- Slow inhales, and you should be good to go. Its simply a small learning curve

Hmmm, I don't see any holes on the atty, I do see two small holes the battery though,
Thanks CashMeRe, I'll keep trying, if I draw slowly, I don't get any vapor or very little

If you want kick, then the 5 or 6 volt premiere devices are the ones recognized to do that the best:

Prodigy: PureSmoker.com - Home of the USA Built PV !!!
GG: SmokeJuice - HOME
AdapteverR: AdapteveR Home of the ORIGINAL USA built PV : Home
Silver Bullet: AltSmoke | Personal Vaporizer Silver Bullet - Kit - Starter Kits

And of course, manual switch only.

Yes, the draw is a bit tough now and then and I find it caries between m201 atomizers. The juice has to have the right consistency or the m201 atty will get clogged. Especially if the mix is to thick. Of course I rarely use the m201 batteries anymore because I chose to use my mod. If you are a hands on type person there are a few things you can try.

1) enlarge the holes that are in the battery threads slightly or add a same size hole to the ones already there.

2) Get a dremel and make a very thin groove from the center hole in the battery to the gap between the center post and the outer threads. Just take a little off at a time till you get that sweet spot of airflow you like.

3) any combination of the two.

That's what I've found, always worth a try.

If it's anything like the other PV's you may have to wear it in? Give it an adjustment period? I don't know for sure, I've only used a 510. Also, don't suck too hard!

I love my 801 style have the Janty KissBox it's been the best,, wanted to try the M201 from litecig (Awesome service and product form Litecig). The main difference is the resistance of the draw.. The harder draw on the M201 makes my 801 feel like I am sucking air through an open straw.. I can see why some would prefer the harder draw of the M201 because it is more like drawing on an analog.. I have vaped them both side by side and I don't see a difference the M201 and kissbox are both the same for vapor, throat hit, and quality of taste.. The resistance of the draw is different as well as the M201 is a heavier device seems built solid.

The atty on the M201 has a monster wick I drip (not a good thing since it doesn't come with a manual switch to protect the battery but I like dripping over using carts) I find I can put 4 to 5 drops on the atty and vape a longer time then the 2 to 3 drops on my KB..

I agree give the M201 a chance, it's a nice e cig... I love my KB and I love the M201 just as much...

I am using a passthrough for both the KB and the M201 only...... It may make a difference that my Janty Passthrough for the KB has a battery on it, and the other 801 passthroughs I have don't have an added battery?
