So, I've been using my new 801 for most of the time these days. There's something good about holding large sized pen, and such smooth draw. Lung/throat hits that I've mentioned don't bother too much now - that the shorter ones are very harsh and it's indeed good for throat hits in my case - but I can really relax with 801... especially when I connect it to my portable usb power pack.

Having said so.. I've been having another issue.

I opened up 2 atomizers for 801 - one's sole purpose is to use with menthol, which I believe I'll be getting regularly along with a tobacco flavor (TBD.. right now it's TW Marlboro, but I'm also willing to try out TrueVapor's Menthol and Marlboro as well). I've been vaping PS sampler ones pretty extensively with the other atomizer. So far, I'm liking the basic ones the most - and some of the elaborate ones doesn't really interest me, except a first few drags.... but since I got them all, I do intend to finish them up before I order a new 30/50ml bottle of juice that I find it's for me.

Thing is, when I load up new full-cart with any flavor... first few drags do have somewhat recognizable taste/flavor. But after a few drags, it becomes somewhat of bland, sometimes I can't even taste. I thought it was dirty atomizer, or maybe even the Pina Colada favor that I tried 1st day is still lingering... but it doesn't seem to be the case as I cleaned it out under boiling water and drained overnight. The bland taste in question - tastes almost like some sort of hot wax feel to it - is more apparent when the cart is somewhat dried up. When it's going almost down to nil - for some reason it still creates decent amount of vapor.. but that vapor is full of the wax taste, which really puts me off.

My first guess is that even with the big carts, I still need to refresh it by topping off every so often...? Or am I running it too dry? (but at the same time, I'm getting loads of vapor, even it looks like when it's little dry.)

Some people mentioned that they can tasted better with 801 - but it just seems like I'm not getting too much of taste... kinda subdued taste with some wax taste.... rather harsh and yet vivid short-cartridged mini/super mini's flavors. Am I doing something wrong?

Any advise/tips or your input on your personal experienc with these matters would be appreciated!
Thx

Well, I figured as much that when I top off the cart often, this doesn't happen... so I guess I'll be topping off even if there's some juice left inside.

It does seem like the current generation of atomizer and cartridge, cannot utilize the liquid to last drop - that even though there's some juice left in, if the filler's moist level is below certain level, it would leave some burnt taste for Minis (901 and rn4081) and that wax like taste for 801s.
