Interesting technique I've learned.. - E-Cigarette Forum

Maybe this has already been discovered or discussed, but I'll share anyway.

I'm using the 801 atty and it seems like it has a lot of airflow and I don't get a good hit unless I inhale more than I would naturally like to. So, I've been cupping my hand/upper palm around the area of air intake at the overflow reservoir and then vaping. I would recommend that you first test the air pressure by trying to figure out how to do a 100% blockage of air WITHOUT pushing in on the button just to get a feeling of how to block the air intake. Once you get that figured out, find a "back pressure" that you like and then fire up. I am now getting the most amazing hit. It's all vape and much less air. It's like it doesn't run as lean, but rather nice and RICH!

I know it might mean the airflow/cooling on the atty is less, but if done correctly i don't see any harm or shortening of the life of the atty.

Not sure if that's any new technique or not, but I though I'd share!

Ok, i feel like i have to explain just a little bit more. Basically, take the "web" part between your thumb and index finger and wrap it arount the top of the overflow adapter as best you can to seal it. Then the remaining air leak can be capped by adjusting how you are wrapped around the joint. Find a way to get 100% blockage without igniting the atty. Then, back off a bit until you like the way the back pressure feels when you take a drag. Once you find that sweet spot, hit the igniter with possibly the other hand or an avail digit and prepare ye for a hit of wonder.
