Huge Pilot Fan (M401)

[rlorange]

I think there is some confusion.

The new program dictates a cutoff period of 20 seconds after a continuous 7 second draw as opposed to a 2 minute cutoff after a 5 second draw.

This is much better it is nigh impossible to take a continuous 7 second drag with normal use. Remember that the M-401 has an electronic switch which is very sensitive so if you let the light dim even for a split second then you can resume puffing past 7 seconds with no cutoff.

The cutoff is there for a reason, the system needs time to wick e-liquid between drags and the atomizer can overheat without pauses. Also once very hot the atomizer will not draw in e-liquid as well. Imagine that when water hits metal hot enough to vapourise it to steam then it will migrate away from the hot metal. Try this with a frying pan on high and a little water. So if the atomizer overheats then it will also run dry no matter how full the cart is and a dry atomizer will spell doom!

If you are a heavy user then I suggest you drip a little at the end of a long session to make sure a hot atomiser is not left dry.

My new M-401 should arrive tomorrow, YAY!

I think the 7 second draw time is much more important than the 20 second cutoff period, I'd prefer 7sec/2min over 5sec/20sec (not that that exists). However while I agree that it is nign impossible to take a continuous 7 second drag with normal use (which I think is much more likely with a 5 second drag), it is very possible to hit the 7 seconds when you are in your car with the windows down and the switch sticks after you vape... it's very annoying to wait 2 minutes after that happens, but I'm undecided if 20 secs would be better because it sometimes gets VERY HOT and is probably best for the atomizer...

What other Companys have parts to fit the Pilot?



I need a car charger, a USB Pass-throughs , and what other carts, and atomizers fit the pilot?

[Terraphon]

There's no USB passthrough for a 401, yet.

That being said, you can get parts for ANY 401 and they will fit your pilot (Evo, Smoore, Dietsmokes, etc...)

there is a new M401 based e-cig coming out soon that currently definitely has a 7 second drag, 20 second shut down..........but they are 99.9% sure that this will be changed to 7 second drag, 10 second shut down

not gonna mention at this time who is going to be selling it just in case it turns out to be porky pies!

[Terraphon]

If that comes with a 280 maH battery, I'm on it.

I just got my pilot today. After a poor experience with the 901 I'm in love with it. I'm seriously in love with this. I have high hopes for the battery life as I'm not a continual vaper, I'm more of a tentative 3 to 4 puffs then put it down for an hour type. I may change my mind next week, but for now....

Yes, I've have had mine for a month now. I have no regrets purchasing this model (Thanks to Terriphone's great reviews!). Mine hits like a freight train, Love It!
After 4 weeks now, I have hammered out all of the problems that I've had with it. I know it so well, when it doesn't perform up to snuff... I know exactly what to do to solve the problem. When you have trouble with it, don't give up on it. Do searches on previous threads, and you will find resolutions to an array of problem solving issues.

This week I finally figured out the very best way to re-stuff the M401 cartridge. My method works absolutely fabulous. I was so exited, I felt like I re-discovered Penicillin! (LOL). I have made a thread, and posted this technique. Quite easy and very effective.
