Hello All,
First time e-cig smoker, and I just got my 901b from puresmoker this weekend. After charging the batteries up I was puffing away no issues until I got to about 15 mouth fulls ( not in a row ). Then there was no more vapor, I put on a new cartridge and was back in business. Shouldn't I be getting more then that from 1 cart?
Thanks

That problem with 901 carts! You only actually vape half the cart, If you pull filling out of a cart that you think is spent/used you will find the bottom half is still wet it just doesn`t filter through. You can (but fiddly) take out filling with tweezers and put it in other way and get a bit more use out of it. But the answer as BadSeed says is to buy some liquid and drip a few drops in to cartridge when it starts getting dry (you will soon get to know when it needs topping up with liquid), I use same cartridge for half a a day to a day, after that they start to get discolored so then use another cartridge.

The prefilled cartridges are really of no value compared to buying blanks and filling them on your own. I not longer top off cartridges as, even without pooling, the e-liquid does not wick that well from the top down after a short while. IMO the best way is to use the syringe and refill from the bottom up. If you do not like syringes like me, buy a printer ink refiller--same think but just more blunt tip. It is much more economical to buy e-liquid and fill your own--Happy Vaping--Sun
