401 or 801?

[BlueSun]

I am thinking of getting a 401, but I don't like the small size of the cartridges. The 801 has much bigger carts (how long do they last for most of you?), but everybody seems to be talking about the 401 and 510 these days. I will be sticking to refilling cartridges.

So, what would you do? 401 or 801? Do not mention the 510! I want taste and not something that sucks up juice like a Hummer does petrol.

* Subject to change if I should become "enlightened."

401 in my opinion is a good performer and it isn't as big and clunky as the 801

510 beats 401 hands down in every department except battery life.
801 is great too, but 510 manual is a lot easier to take w/ you

If you want portability, get the 510
if you want a stay at home vape, get the 801

you can mod the 401 carts. i don't like my 401 because the draw is a bit harder than i would like it to be

Size is not a big problem with me, since I used to walk around everywhere with my disposable e-cigar.

However, the 401 atomizers sound more reliable than the 801. Is that true? The 801 is tempting because it holds 1ml of juice, which should last quite a while since I'm not a hard vapor. I'm an occasional cigar and cigarillo smoker, so I want something to puff on. (Not interested in the DSE701 due to certain issues.)

So, I want something with a long cart life, long-lasting atomizers (I will take care of them by cleaning them), easy to get parts, and good taste is very important, too.

It's so hard to make a decision. Obviously, if I had the money, I'd buy both!

They are both very different animals so recommending one over the other is a bit tricky.

The 401 is a workhouse and extremely reliable. I have a ton of them here and they are fine ecigs with good vapor and reliable throat hit. It is also much easier on your juice supplies as it burns through FAR less than the 801.

The 801 has more vapour but it is cooler. I get more flavour and throat hit from the 801 but its not quite as intense. The atomizers are good but definitely not as reliable as the 401.

With all that said, I use my 801 as my day to day vape at home and if I go out, I switch to the 401.

The 401 gives great tastecola in the 401 tastes like cola,but in the 510 tasted like red hots(the candy) Only the strong cinamion like flavors were left from the high heat of the 510.The first time i tried a PVD was a 401 with dr.peper from my sis in law ,great taste,and her 401 is 90 or so days old with 1 atty change.I use the 401 to show the attomiser (becase it exposed)when people ask how they work.

If you find yourself deciding on an 801, I suggest you get the RN4072 knock off version. It's my understanding that those have the low atty bridge, so the carts work better (after the straw mod has been applied, of course).

Thanks guys and gals for your suggestions and comments. I've decided to buy the 401 with some juice, an extra atomizer and 25 carts (to refill). I'll try to post a little review once I've used it for a while since this is my first real e-cig besides the disposable cigar.
