510 vs 901

[DigDreams]

It's not that the flavor changes, you just get more flavor in some vaporizers than others. I think the hotter burning ones make the vapor "thinner" where the "denser" vapor carries more taste.

Some flavors you can't really notice it with but others you can. For example, Peach tastes about the same in all three that I have (801, 901, 510) - but you can taste a big difference in subtle flavors like cheesecake and banana.

In my opinion on a scale of 1-10:

901: Flavor 10, Throat Hit 6, Vapor Production 7
510: Flavor 6, Throat Hit 9, Vapor Production 8
801: Flavor 8, Throat Hit 8, Vapor Production 10

Oh, and if you are on a budget - the 510 and 801 go through liquid at about twice rate of the 901. My favorite overall is the 801 but it's kinda big.

Get them both if you can afford them at Heaven-Gifts.com (Ruyan Direct) for about $110US shipped with a couple of extra 901 manual batteries to boot.

Rotate usage and they last much longer

I have to agree, it's nice to have both. I like the 901 for everyday vaping, and the 510 is great when I'm craving an analog. I have a 901 manual passthough, and it's hard to beat that set up, IMHO.

This is one of the few threads where I have actually seen some good discussion/comparisons of the 510 vs 901. Instead of responding to several different posters....I just thought I'd post a general one, myself.

I too find that both models have their pros and cons and when we are suggesting any model to anyone, it is important to find out what they are looking for before we suggest the wrong model for their needs. Since amplexor sounds like he wants vapor and throat hit, I would probably steer him towards the 510.

Me personally, I find the the 510 far too harsh on my throat, not very impressive for flavor, doesn't not produce any more vapor than a 901, very short battery life and a bit noisy with the crackling and popping in the atomizer. But if someone wants throat hit, they'll certainly get more than enough out of it!

With the recent acquisition of the manual 901 batteries, I find that the 901 retains all of its great features w/ the added benefit of a consistent hit like the 510 (which was sometimes difficult to get w/ the automatic battery) and a far easier draw (again because of the switch in the automatic battery). However, it still will not beat the 510 for throat hit and I do wish they would get rid of the 5 second cut-off on the manual battery.

Well said! I ordered my 510 (From Innovaper) and had some great conversations with a fella named Tony. He told me that the manual batts that come with my kit does NOT have a cutoff and told me a few stories of how a customer called them back and told them that he melted his atty... (was done delibrately to test the non-cuttoff feature). Unless I miss read what you were saying "However, it still will not beat the 510 for throat hit and I do wish they would get rid of the 5 second cut-off on the manual battery." Guess I wasnt sure if you meant the manual 901 or the manual 510.

Chief-A-Lot....I was referring the the manual 901. It works very well and I am very satisfied with it....beats having to suck hard on the automatic battery to insure the switch activates, but I do not like the 5 second cut-off that is programmed into it. I have seen a few posts about 510 carts melting....but I would think that was caused by some rather extreme activation of the 510 atty and not what the average user would cause. Plus, the 510 atty runs hotter than the 901 atty, so I would venture that if both were activated for long periods of time, the 510 cartridge would feel the effects before the 901 cartridge would.

I think i'll make a video of me stomping on the 510 while i vape away on my 901 :P

Nice, thanks for the clairification... I have been trolling the forum for sevral hours now :P, and I'm starting to stress about the comments made by a few posts on the delivery time for Innovaper *Crosses Finger*

I have the 510 and a 901 on a screwdriver. The hit and vapor are about the same between them with the 901 having a little better flavor. The big difference seems to be that the atty's in the 510 get a lot hotter really quick producing a bitter taste when it's hot. The 901 seem to never get hot and always taste great. I don't know about the hit with a normal 901 but I really like their atty's.

HAHA Crash! Your a 510 hater in a big way I see! All good though, I have a 901 and really do love it... Im wondering your Anamosity towards the 510?? Perhaps you like to modd and the 901 seems to be more of a choice in modding as opposed to a 510er?? Shed some light please!

BTW nice reviews and huge assorment of toys!
