901 v 510

[bladeangel87]

How many people actually prefer the 901 to 510, seems the general consensus on forum is that more people prefer the 510. However I'm finding I actually prefer 901, taste is much better to me, throat hit is more than adequate, as well as vapor, just my .02 anyone else feel same? So far I'm really enjoying the 901, just thought I'd throw this out there.

I have a similiar model to the 901, the 4075, which I prefer over the 510 I bought. The 510 looks better (copper/gold), but I actually get more throat hit and vapor (as well as taste) with my 4075.

I really only use my 901 when I am waiting for batts to charge on my 510.

This is assuming that I am away from a computer (work or home) because I made a USB direct passthrough from my 510 passthrough that fried.

I used the 901 direct passthrough made from the battery adapter for the manual VERY easily with a Radio Shack Battery box, and just changed it over to the 510.

VERY HAPPY with the 510 until batts have about 25% or less in them left.

Wanting to try the 801, but I am buying a house and waiting.

Summary: 510 is the fav here.

I use both 510 and 901 atomisers on my Screwdriver.

The 510 wins on hit, but I rate the 901 as the best overall performer i9n terms of the balance of hit/flavour/vapour/warmth

You are right and you are wrong. The best e-cig is the one you like the most. Whatever the reason.

Mine 901 stuff is collecting dust (but could always be resurrected at some other time) since the 510 arrived. I think the 510 delivers more vapor and that delivers the nicotine better. The 901 didn't seem to deliver as much, was more prone to flood, harder draw (auto battery), and everything had a bit of an "ozone" taste to it. But even with that said, I loved my 901, and that "ozone" taste is kind of additcing by itself. Somewhere down the line I think I'll get a 901 to 510 adapter and pick up a few atomizers just for the fun of it.

If I'd never heard of the 510 I'd still be a happy camper right now using my 901. Flavors come alive when you drip on the 510 and I actually thought they were better on my 510 then the 901, but a lot of it has to do with the vapor.

Just remember to soak you atomizers on a regular basis. One of the keys to the 901 is to keep the air flowing.

P.S. You're not alone, the 901 used to be at the top of the food chain. And it was there for a reason! It's still an awesome e-cig in its own right.

I have both and prefer the 901 due to better flavor and never getting that burnt taste that I experience with the 510. I have both the auto and manual batteries for the 901 and prefer the manuals except they don't fit in the pcc.

I mentioned this in my last post, but you may be interest in this. Altsmoke.com offers 510 battery adapters. They make them for the 510 so you can use a 901 or 801 or KR808D (Vapor King) atomizers. It's hard to try to maintain 3 or even 2 ecigs at once. You've got too many chargers and passthroughs and batteries.

I've always wanted to try an 801 but didn't want yet another set of batteries and chargers and passthroughs and stuff to carry. The adapters aren't cheap (or maybe they are at $12.95) but I think it's a good way to focus on one type of battery or USB Passthrough.

P.S. They also make a 510 adaptor that fits on the 901 batteries.

Probably the reason I like 901 more is because I'm a light vapor, didn't smoke that often either, so throat hit doesn't matter as much to me and I care about taste more, and don't know about nicotine delivery, but I have a feeling I don't really need much nicotine, could always put down cigs for a few days when visiting relatives etc. I didn't want to smoke around and wouldn't crave cigarettes. I did enjoy smoking however, and smoke when stressed or studying for college.

I have both and the 510 just sit in the drawer. I always seem to be drawn to the 901. I also prefer the automatic to the manual. The have adapters so I can use my mods with the 901 atty.

Use em' both all day long, every day. Flavored in the 901, unflavored in the 510 has been a really satisfying combo for me.
