Okay, First let me say I'm sorry for posting here, but the PIF group is the nicest one I know and I can't get good answers for my questions about equipment. Now, I own a Joye 510 manual. I get the basics of the parts, but I am wondering what is the difference between what I have and a
901?
801?
KR808D?
and also,
what is a drip tip?
how would you use it?
What is a pass through?
and how would yo use it?
I really have looked for BASIC answers else where and I just don't understand. I want to try new equipment and I see pass throughs and drip tips offered in here, but I don't want to claim something or buy something unless I understand it.
there should be a youtube video for this....
any help would be great and thanks PIF, nicest group on the ECF!!
Ok, here is MY TAKE on this - knowing that I'm pretty new, insert disclaimer here, dont' vape with a passthrough in the bathtub, blah blah.
901 - this is the kit I started with, similar to the 510, people seem to think it provides less throat hit and more flavor than the 510. In the past I think 510 was more commonly available in manual where the 901 was an auto battery - now you can get either in both.
801 - this was also called a pen style, it's a neat little e-cig. Big advantage that I see is big cartridges compared to the 510 and 901's puny little cartridges. They don't seem very popular but I dunno why. I just got one of these in a pif thread somewhere else and gave it away to a friend as her first pv - if it doesn't work for her I'll get it back and I'll play with it some then.
KR808D - the most popular 2 piece currently. I initially ignored these because the idea of replacing the atomizer and cartridge didn't appeal to me at first but this is now my hands down favorite setup. The cartomizers hold a lot of liquid, last a long time, and are dirt cheap to buy. I don't mind tossing out a cartomizer when the draw gets hard since they're like....$1 each.
Drip tip - many people prefer the fuller flavor of dropping juice directly on their atomizer, pulling off the cartridge each time is a pain in the ...., drip tips allow you to drip without the hassles. It's not a 'gotta have" item for drippers if your really on a budget but it's like having a car with air conditioning. No, not needed really - but a luxury well worth it. These used to be quite expensive but you can get nice ones for pretty cheap now.
Passthrough - battery life sucks until you get a mod of some type. A passthrough is a way to use usb power to fire up your attie. You can get them with a battery inline for 3.7v (same as your vaping with a regular battery) or without a battery for 5v. This is nice if you sit in front of a computer all day or want to try vaping 5v on the cheap. It can also work as a cheap all day everyday setup with a usb battery pack like the apc upb10.
Personally, I like the flavor of 5volts, and the convenience of cartos. In front of my pc I use a passthrough, out and about I use a 5v box mod. I don't care what it looks like, I'm in it for the flavor - I'm done with my nic addiction, now I'm using tasty juice to try to alleviate my incessant snacking.
I hope this helps - it's one person's opinion.
