LiteCigUSA penstyle....first day thoughts

[Erica]

Ok...this thread has gotten off track. Back to my pen....

Just took my battery off the charger and a fully charged battery with my good atomizer, I got some VERY nice vapor. Will definitly have to exchange my other atomizer though. It's definitly not cutting it.

I've also noticed something very interesting today. I've been vaping 24mg originally and then moved up to 36mg liquid on my 901, and I never got a nictine buzz off of it. If I overdid it I would just get a headache. However with this pen, I've been vaping 24mg liquid and I am buzzing! I like it ! I wonder why that is???

I might just be talking to myself here, lol, but thought I would add that my wimpy atomizer seems to be doing better today. Maybe it just needed a little breaking in. Downside...I'm not as impressed with battery life as I thought I would be. I only got around 5 hours on a fully charged battery. Which isn't exactly bad, but I got more off of my 901 batteries when they were brand new. If they continued to have that much life in the future it would be ok, but assuming they drop (which I'm sure they will) they'll be no longer lasting than my 901. Another positive note though...I haven't had any of the erratic behavior my 901 batteries often troubled me with.

By "fully charged" do you mean 4 hours, or just until the LED turned green? Most of these chargers turn green after only an hour to an hour and a half. At that point it's only about 70% charged.

In any case, a 901 battery isn't that far behind penstyles in runtime. I get 80-90 5-second puffs off a brand new 901 battery. A penstyle is typically 100 or so. Of course it can depend on the manufacturer.

It is a shame though that Shawn switched to the KR's. I never liked them as much as the Joye-302, even though they perform very similarly. I have had more problems with cartridges not wicking with them, though, than other penstyles, and I find the LEDs look a bit dim. Small quibbles, but that's what preferences are made of.

It was charged for 8 hours. I guess I was just expecting a bit more of a difference than 10 to 20 puffs more. Oh well, it not a major complaint. My biggest issue with my 901 wasn't the battery life...I just seemed to have really bad luck with them and almost every one I've had acted crazy. They would blink constantly and shut off, and they would not come back on after any amount of time. They had to be unscrewed and then put back on to get a couple more puffs before it would do it again. Others would stay on and burn up the atomizer if I didn't unscrew them immediatly. And this happened constantly, not an occasional cleaning cycle. The whopping 2 out of 7 or so good ones I've had are nice though, lol. My 901 USB passthrough from PureSmoker was a Godsend! So as long as these pen batteries don't act like that, I'm not gonna compain too much.

Just wish he still carried the JOYE302 though. I really wanted to try that one, and I don't think anyone else sells generics of it.

Not that I've seen.
