So I've been vapin now for a few months primarily using the standard 510 atty or a bit lower resistance like 2.0 or so. I only drip. The main problem I've found (for me) is that the draw gets stiff throughout the day. This forces me to clean them daily, which isn't such a bad thing. That helps but doesn't solve the problem. My main complaint is that on some attys the draw is too stiff. So, my question is what are the alternatives? Is the 306 substantially different in terms of draw? What about 801 or 901's? I've used a few cartos (boge, slb, ikenvape, etc) and the draw is much lighter but vapor production isn't there. Probably has to do with how I draw on them. I've yet to try the newer ce2 r4's or the joyes but since I haven't liked ANY cartos to date, I'm very hesitant to try them. Any suggestions on what to try next would be much appreciated!

PS...I didn't mention that I'm using an ego. Thinking of moving to a mod (icon maybe?), but need to get this part right before stepping up.

I know exactly what you mean Matt. It happens to me too. I find it usually happens to me when my battery is down to 25% of it's time frame. IT seems to vaporize less and the draw gets a plugged up feeling. I think it's mildly flooding in ym case. I blow out the atty and plug the battery hole and blow out the side vents. That usually makes it better and if not, I switch to a fully charged battery.

Thanks for the tip about the battery...I usually go until the battery dies. I noticed a fresh battery seems to help. I'll try plugging the battery hole and blowing next time too. Do 801/901 attys vape differently?

Matt,

I've read that the vapor is huge if you use a 510 atty and the 5v passthrough + USB to AC wall charger thing. I'm gonna get those. The cord is 4 foot long so at least while I'm on my PC and watching TV, I can get great performance and keep my batteries fully charged for outings. This is where I'm getting it at and it'll be $23 for the 2 things:

510 Accessories

I've noticed the stiff draw a lot lately and it seems like it's the last 1-2 hours of my Mega's life. They seem to perform really well for 3 hours and then drastically nosedive:(
