901 Carts

[Stymey]

Ok, just started with my 901 a couple days ago and I'm noticing that when the vapor starts to trail off, and I go to top off the cart the wool seems to still be very wet? Takes about 4 drops to hit the point where it starts to pool. Is this normal for the 901? There just seems to be an awful lot of liquid left in the cart wool.

Hi--Stymey, sounds like it could be a couple of things--first you do not what to pool as that will flood the atomizer and second the wool or core may be spent to the point that is is no longer wicking so try to replace it with a new cartridge. Are you refiiling prefilled or are you using blank cartrides??--Sun

the 901 dosnt wick as well as other units like the 401, and what you are saying is pretty consistent with my 901. if it pools at 4 drops, put in 2-3, it dosnt vape well when "soaked". also try putting it down for a few minutes, and see if it starts hitting again, takes time for the liquid to move from the cart to the atomizer. I did end up adding like 3 drops every 15 puffs or so to the cart, as you describe. i've been using the "pilot" m401 now, and i find it much better in this respect.

Sun, I'm actually topping off the carts that came with it. Only had this cart 2 days I thought maybe...ok, stay with me here..lol. I thought the cart wool might be like a new bath towel, how they aren't terribly absorbent until you wash 'em a couple times? So I pulled out the cart wool, rinsed and dried thoroughly and refilled using Igetcha's method from the video. Still same thing. I'm not pooling the liquid on top, and leaving it in a vertical position for a few mins seems to give me a few more hits when the cart seems exhausted. Also can taste a change in the flavor when its running low. But when I pop off the cart to top it, sure enough, the wool is still pretty wet.

I don't seem to have to top off more than any of the other 901 users have posted. About 3 cigs worth of vaping and then 3-4 drops to top off. Just kinda curious how much liquid is left in the cart when it's "spent".

Jim, hey thanks for that! Glad to know I'm not the only one..lol Good in a way, otherwise this thing would never leave my lips! Was thinking of grabbing a USB passthru for it, considering how much time I spend at the pc (damn you WOW addiction!) but think now might be better to grab a pen style for cart capacity/convenience.
