RN 4081 - Underrated?

[Agent309]

Bottom line: if you own one of these, don't feel like you got completely scammed. It's a good starter unit that can be very satisfying if you take the time to learn how to use it to optimal effect.

I so totally agree. Been vaping for about 4 weeks, and bought this before doing any research, and then finding out it's not a "community favorite", but I am actually glad I got this one. I found a source for cheap atty's and batteries (though my original ones are still going strong). It did take me about 2 weeks to actually learn to smoke it, but now, it's awesome.

Actually, the 4081 has gotten a bad rap because of Smoking Everywhere. Just because SE is a rip-off company, people think that the product is junk. I think that the 4081 atomizers are among the most rugged on the market today. Folks just won't give them a chance.

Once you get through the learning curve, you're good. Juice makes the difference.

hi everyone, i just got my SE gold in the mail, don't worry it was only 48 bucks so i didnt get too ripped off, but i was wondering if anyone knew if you really have to charge the batteries a full 8 hours before the first use, or should you just wait till the light turns green.

Just wait until the light turns green.

The 8 hours thing is a myth that goes back to the caveman days of older batteries.
I believe they were Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd) or something.

There is a thread all about this if you want detailed information:

I've been using the 4081 for 10 months now. Totally satisfied!!!

I got an order of 5 extra capacity carts this week from AquaVaporCigs.com and I am very satisfied. I find I can vape pretty much all night in "almost pacifier" mode and MAYBE I'll have to refill once. The regular carts required 2-3 time more refilling. And since I don't vape much during the workday, a morning fill lasts until I get home at 6:00.

Overall, I am more satisfied with my RN4081 than my first e-cig (a Blu knock-off L88b). That one is good for vapor, but the battery dies in under an hour, vs. around 2-3 hours for my RN4081.

Both the RN4081 and the L88b are inconsistent vapor producers, though. Some days I can generate clouds of the stuff, other days I feel like I am sucking wet cement and all I get are a few wisps. I find I need to give one brand a break when that happens, and when I switch back, vapor is good again.

My only complaint with the RN4081 is that I have to really drag on the thing for a while to get a decent throat hit. The L88b has a more consistent throat hit, IMHO.

I thought about picking up a 510, just for the heck of it. But I dunno. I am happy with what I have, and part of my switch to e-cigs was to save some cash, so ...

I like the RN4081! I liked it so much (Plus I have 100 Pre-filled carts)
That when the battery died, I took the atty and the connector, and made my own Magnum, with a UV LED... (last night! Merry Christmas to me!)
Sweet! Great vapor! Great Throat hit! Great Flavor!
5v + RN4081's ROCK! I like strong hits etc...
It took a little time to make, but,
Veni, vidi, vici (Used to be on PM Marlb's packs) Ha! So true!
VVV roman numerals to 555? perhaps?
That would be my fav flavor too.
So, there ya have it, underrated? nah...
Just great PV'ing with a nice mod!
Off to shoot pool with my modded PV!
Ciao !!!
