M201 & 402: My dream e-cigs!

[need_2quit]

I concur... waiting is the hardest part. I have not had a real ciggie (not even one puff) since yesterday once i got the higher nic juice.

thank you for that info! I just got some 36mg flavorless from juicyliquid.com.
I figured the 12mg juice just wasn't cutting it. I'll experiment with the 36 nic and pg/vg/distilled, etc that I have on hand now. I'm hoping between the replacement 402 parts and the higher nic juice, I can get some satisfaction out of the M402 and lay down the nicorette and cigs.

Just had major surgery and can't vape at all because of the way it affects your mucous membranes.

prr2freya - just caught up on the thread and saw you are 2 days smoke free. WTG!

. The carts I got with the kit seem small and it is almost like dripping with as often as I top them off. I got some DSE401 carts and they seem bigger (like the EVO carts maybe), but I feel like they don't draw as well. I haven't tried re packing either of them but my experience with that hasn't been great either. Anyone have any good results with carts they want to share?

I'm thinking the problems with the Mxx are the small carts also. I agree, you might as well drip, if you have to top off every 10 drags or less.

If they could redesign the carts, they'd have a winner. The ability to heavy vape is there, it's just not right most of the time. I'm sure other ecigs have the same quirks though?

I just went ahead and alotted myself the 10 day timeframe. Then if it gets here early....BONUS!!!!

I was agonizing, waiting, kept checking EMS web site. The status stayed at "left Shanghai" for a few days. I was getting very frustrated, and then... It just showed up at my door last Friday. Very pleasantly surprised.
All in all, it took 10 days from ordering to arrive.

Need: I found that even with a perfectly working PV, there's still the urge to smoke, no matter what nicotine level you take in. I'm almost certain that all of the additives in (most) commercial cigarettes are put there for the sake of keeping you addicted. I've found that having the PV helps with the NEED to smoke, as well as easing side-effects of nicotine withdraws.
That being said i haven't had a cigarette in about 6-7 weeks.

I have some flavorless 36 from Totally Wicked, and some from Vapor Nine (i think, its unlabeled) and can say that its a nice change from all of the flavored stuff. It may sound weird, but its a very "clean" vape. You can definitely tell there's nicotine in there, from throat hit, and the "peppery" feeling/taste of the nicotine, but sometimes i get headaches from some of the flavors out there.

As for the carts, although the M series has pretty much the smallest cart size of all the models, it also has the amazing ability to "pull" most of the liquid from the cart. In the 901, when i pull the cart off the atty, I find that there's still a good amount of liquid left in the cart. When i do the same with the M, most of the filler is practically dry. In essence, while it may not provide as much vapor or throat hit as some other units, the M is VERY liquid efficient, as well as reliable, and IMO pretty much the sexiest PV (outside of some very nice looking mods) .

Thanx Effy. Ive smoked for 22 years so another few days wont hurt me much.

Paradiso, thanx to the excellent links from Fedor, im thinkin i need to start checking the USPS link after it says left shanghai. Either that or im gonna just ignore it all and be pleasantly surprised when it all shows up...wooohoooo

Ive downgraded over the years from reds, to mediums, to lights, to now ultra lights. I quit for 2 years when my exwife got pregnant and didnt start back until the day of the divorce. It has always mostly been a mental thing im sure. Driving, after meals, a quit getaway from my desk, sitting in front of my computer for hours on end. This seems like the healthiest, cleanest, most reliable alternative out there. And thanx to all the great info on here, im pretty confident it will be a wonderful experience when i recieve my package.

i'm still waiting for the vapor on my 402 to kick in...it's been about 4 days. i'm hoping to get liquid soon, and from what i understand that helps a lot.

I found my 401 wasn't producing tons of vapor, however i found if i just poke a paper clip through the hole at the bottom and move the cartridge up a touch (like a 1/16th of an inch) it vapes much more.

hope that helps you.

I think something might not be right here. I use the carts with the 3 wings on them. I can get about 8 or 9 drops of liquid in there and it lasts me a good 60+ drags.

so i've had my ecig for a week now, and even got some liquid. i've tried refilling the carts, dipping and dripping and i'm still getting little to no vapor. i've charged all the batteries for 8 hours and let them die before charging for the recommended "3 to 4" hours. the only thing i haven't done is switched out the atomizer, because i'm still waiting for those from electronic-cigz (i placed my order on the 24th =/).

the throat hit is very strong (i can't remember if i've asked this before or not...but is throat hit related to the strength of the carts/liquid?) but i can't even manage two smoke rings.

the second day i had it the vapor was decent but now, even when i do a primer puff, barely anything.

i'm sad. but i'm not exactly giving up. i really want this to work, and i'm hoping it's just the atomizer.
