Strictly in terms of vaping, the m201 is the perfect pen for me - draw, timing and heat are just right.

But ... it's totally incompatible with any other pen, it has the extra, double-super sensitive switch so it goes off all the time (like in your pants in the car, if you sneeze etc.) and the carts are an extremely tight fit, so much so that I have to twist to remove and that's not good.

I reserve it for my high nic juice so it doesn't get used as much.

Okay, I'm totally befuddled by this. The tape didn't work, if blowing across the battery to light the LED is a valid test. It didn't effect the response of the LED at all. Oh, btw, one of the two batteries I used had only one open hole - the other one was in use/plugged.

I carefully inspected the cap and LED end of the battery for any source for air passage with a small powerful light and saw none. Even so, I taped up the outside of the battery LED end good and tight but it didn't have any effect either.

Thanks to your second post I got the idea to lightly lay a piece of kitchen plastic wrap over the exposed end of the battery, then push the cap back gently, thus drawing the plastic wrap into the battery tube.

This worked perfectly. Draws like stock, LED lights, but when blowing across it outside the tube, no light at all. I'll have to further test with a drive in my noisy, rough car. If anyone wants to try this, so far I've found the best way to remove excess wrap is to hold the cap with a finger for stability, the battery tube vertically, and pull straight down with a finger nail, thus using the end of the battery tube as a cutting edge.

I wish I knew why this worked lol. Thanks again.

Fjames I tried your idea and it seems to work pretty good...made the draw a tiny bit harder but if it stops it from going on from wind and car noise than it is great ...since it would be easier to do than using a glue gun and certainly prettier than having a condom on the end of your ecig.

BTW I have no idea why it works.

How do you repack them?

Do you mean refil the carts? There are loads of vids on here and youtube. Spikey's is a great place to start http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...2-new-updated-comprehensive-intro-vaping.html

Just got my 801 from Heaven ... From Heaven Gifts, actually. Not directly from a divine location.

Anyway, 1st I was surprised at the size. Is big, yes?
2nd - it's really set up different and took me a moment to figure out. I'm used to the 401.
3rd - way more vapor but less of a throat hit. Could be the prefilled cart, once I suck it dry I'll try with some Truesmoker Blackberry.
4th - I think I'll clean up the ol' 401 and give it to my sister to get her hooked. If she and my mother would reduce their analog usage, maybe my youngest son would visit them more often (even as a pack-a-day smoker I could hardly stand my mothers house)

I think ol' Ruyan sent me the wrong color, but I guess I don't really care all that much.
 
So thank you for all the info. If I were to order this one right now, what is in the cartridges. What flavor, strength and so on. I am ready to do this but after much reading still a lil lost.:confused:


Try watching this video...

The carts are usually 1 or 2 in "high" strength (but what is "high" varies by company). 1 or 2 medium, one low and one zero nic (which will say "NO" on it... but it looks like "ON" if you look at it upside down lol! They are usually "general tobacco" unless it is Janty.. then I think RY4 is their standard? Someone correct me if I am wrong.
