Anyone have any suggestions (besides go buy a diff ecig)? Would love to here them.
Telling anyone to go buy a diff ecig would be the last thing I'd do regarding a 401 since nothing beats it in taste so far, and I've tried the 510, 901, KR808 and the 801. The 801 comes the closest in taste, though it's a bit airier than the nice concentrated tasty vape from a 401.
What I've resorted to doing at home is to cut off the top of the mouthpiece to make a hollow tube. Instead of using the cartridge, I've formed an upside down "V" out of fluval and placed it over the atomizer bridge and cover it like a tent. Then I drip through the hollow mouthpiece directly on the "tent" and have experieced no burning and if anything an increase in taste.
I was surprised that having fluval covering the bridge might interfere with air movement (inhalation of vapor) but I guess making the the upside down "V" being of the same width of the bridge means air passage isn't blocked off.
When I lay down the nicostick with the 401 on the nightstand, I find the fluval has retained the liquid and I don't have a mess on the nightstand in the morning. The liquids I use don't tend to be Johnson creek thin however.
If you come up with a modded cartridge that holds more than the original 401 cart or the XL (by about .1ml if that?) cartridge, I know lots of 401 lovers would be very interested.
