Pilot/EVO/M-401 VS Dura/510? - Page 7 - E-Cigarette Forum

CaSHMeRe · 02-17-2009, 07:59 PM

smog ... I don't have complete information on the technology backing it (for that I'm sorry), but I would assume, the chip can sense the heat given off by a dry atomizer, thus shutting down the battery. An atomizer runs cooler when there is liquid passing through it. Without liquid it overheats ... so that would be my best guestimate.

I'm sorry you where correct bingo.

there's only the one cuttoff i think after i read all through that stuff on evo site again .It's just the wording they use to make it look like more than it is i think .It's still a pain in the neck having to keep waiting 2 mins

CaSHMeRe · 02-17-2009, 08:13 PM

401's in general (or atleast the ones I am familiar with) actually do shut down when the atomizer goes dry ... that is what I was referring to

Are the tips of both the pilot and dura rounded like an analog? I scrutinized the pics, but I can't tell.

I was thinking along those lines to cashmere if there was such a cuttoff .Not sure if there is though,it just reads like that . It's just that sometimes when i drip straight on to the mesh bridge on the vaporizer it sometimes causes a 2 min cuttoff to operate .Cant understand it .i have one vaporizer that does it all the time .(but theres nothing wrong with the vaporizer element (it's the same resistance as the others ).
Thanks anyway .

sorry if i posted a bit off thread topic .

Yes, both teh Dura and Pilot/Evo/M401 have rounded mouthpieces ..

That's the safety cutoff ... As soon as you reach about 4-5 seconds, and it cuts you off, you have to wait 2 minutes.

I AM AN EVO FANBOY, THIS POST IS BIASED AND I HOPE TO WORK FOR INTELLICIG SOON!

Plus i am a noob, and the Evo is the only e-cig i've ever had. But srsly, starting as low as 27 sterlins with the spare battery and a usb charger, and after all the positive reviews, the Evo is, in my humble opinion, a must have for any vaper out there. Again, i have nothing at hand to compare it with, but i can confirm the excellent battery capacity and the fast recharge time on USB, and i'm on day 15 with no battery or atomizer performance problems. And i can confirm this for 4 different devices, since both me and my brother (we live togheter, and are both heavy smokers) bought it, and we gave 2 to mum'n'daddy that are suffering from a lifetime of analogs, hoping to help them in changing to a (hopefully) safer habit. They used it much less than us by the way.

Throat hit is slightly less the one of an analog (still have to try other juices than the intellicig one), while vapour production is identical to an analog (with a fresh cart or a direct drip).

Do the math with how much a Dura costs, and choose wisely. And i am happy to spend extra bucks on anything for a greater quality, but comeon... How big can this quality gap (if there's one) be?

/FANBOYOFF

Ye, sometimes i licked juice too. But never with a fresh intellicig cart, only when i messed up in topping. My tip is to push the inner cart with a pin from the bottom, top it up, and slide it back down. I reckon it can be a hassle sometimes.

I've just got a 510 and have been using it this evening. Its working pretty well, producing lots of vapour. I hope it lasts!

Which one did you go for, was it the Pillbox one?

Papa Lazarou · 02-17-2009, 11:00 PM

Yep it was from Pillbox. So far, I'm not having any of the issues with two second cut offs, or anything like that. I'm being very careful not to let the carts run dry as that looks like it could cause a problem. It drains them at quite a rate. It seems a nice bit of kit though. Fingers crossed!!
