I see, I really dont draw that long. normally I just bump up power and do short draws. 10 seconds is a fairly long draw.



SV, you may like EM.

I may try it but only buy small amount if chemical taste is possible

I also enjoy EM for all it's effects and recommend you at least try it here and there. It has an sort of tounge warming/wetting sensation/effect on me. I also get a slightly chemical impression on inhale at very high levels or if I put a dab on my tongue (I get a sour sort of bite). A lot of what EM does is in how much you use. I don't know exact ranges, but to use some estimates that seem reasonable: 0.5-3% (start slow) can reduce sharp notes and possibly provide a more full bodied flavor ("rounding out"). 5% might cause some sweetening (not really a lot) as well; more sweetening may result where enhancing some already sweet bases. Getting much higher still (7-20%? the main dish here obviously) starts into the real cotton candy range, which I find can be very pronounced on the exhale. That exhale I also get a chemical kind feel, but nothing really off-putting. Just try starting out with it very slowly. It's a flavor enhancer more than a sweetener when used across it's full effective spectrum.

At least that's what I hear.

I'll give it a try, not at the chemical level though,

Your earlier wattage (4.5v/2.4ohm) is 8.43W

I have power way up now cause atty is about dead. when new normaly 1,8 atty at 3.9 volts

8.45W

I draw the way you do the vast majority of the time. Practice can improve draw time, but not that much. I figured most of us learn this trying to get our basic e-cig's to do something useful before chucking them.:p Still, I can't draw that way for 15 seconds - just 6/7.

I just checked your wattage out of curiosity (it looked like they were close). It strikes me as funny how most people automatically hover at the "right level" for them with various hardware/situations and it's at the same power level regardless of the coil surface area change.
