    Ok. Got the new flavors. She likes it a lot better. I also followed someone's advice about putting one drop on the atomizer to help get rid of the primer taste (worked well, thanks.)

    However, she's not really going for it. She might be one of those that fall into the category of not really wanting to let analogs go.

    When I asked her to compare the two she said that the analogs were full and rich and the ecig was thin and weak. I believe she was referring to the throat hit but she said it wasn't that so who knows... :mad:

    I was trying to figure out if I was doing something wrong with the ecig and for a little while she said it tasted like burnt paper. It turned out I didn't have enough liquid and the atty was probably burning up the polyfill. I fixed that, but that's when I get the thin and weak comment.

    She is using it more and more, and she hasn't tried all the flavors yet, just malbro, cigar and clove. Clove is the best of those 3, but I think I need something with a stronger taste (I have more she hasn't tried.) I don't think nicotine mg is the reason because she's on 11mg now and was 16mg and that got her lightheaded.

    I guess the good news is that she is using it slightly more and more everyday, but she doesn't seem willing to ever ditch analogs completely. She uses it on occasions where it's not appropriate to light up such as in the bedroom, in the car with young kids, inside different venues (like roller skating, movies, etc.) Any ideas?

    Here's the info:

    PV: DSE901
    Tried: 16mg malbro, 16mg cigar, 11mg clove
    have and not tried: 555, RY4, Cinnamon (11mg)

    This seems unsurprisingly tied to 'how the smoke/vapor feels' for her.

    Some suggestions:

    1. get over the mg compared to normal cigs - it does not equate. You want to help her quit, but it's *her* decision, not yours, and the mg issue just confuses things.
    2. get some 555, hilton, and ry4 in 36mg
    3. get her a 510. innovaper.com has a single 510 starter for $25 right now...they use ecopure, with a max of 25mg, I'd pick up the 510 there, plus wherever you can get some 36mg. Suggest 'rich tobacco' for the ecopure that comes with the kit.

    The 510 produces 'denser' vapor, although it does have a manual button. I'd try it, were I in your shoes, regardless.

    Well, RY4 she's beginning to like A LOT. At the end of the night last night she says, "so, if you load this up with the juice it should last all day right?"

    Encouraging, we'll see how it goes. We're going on a cruise at the end of the week for 7 days. I hope this stuff is allowed onboard and passed security/xrays/metal detector etc because I'd hate to have to put this experiment on pause or have to start over when signs of progress are showing..

    i was going to suggest everything wegster said but since he covered everything theres no need. but will add my 2 cents!


    i would go with a 36mg liquid. some users say if you want a better throat hit and rougher vapor go with a mod the puts out more power. now that i have some low nic liquids and a few mods, i was able to test some things out.

    vaping with 11mg ry4 in my 510 manual i found it to be WAY to smooth and no throat hit. tried the same liquid with my home made usb pass through that puts out 5volts and its still WAY to smooth. also tried the same liquid with a couple battery mods and get the same result. these low nic liquids are just not enough for beginners who want the feel of a real cigarette.

    if i would of gone with a low nic liquid when i started i wouldnt of been able to stick with it. take wegsters advice he knows what hes talking about! it will really help with the switch and maybe later down the road drop down to 26 or 24mg liquid or even lower!

    I'm with you - gonna order the higher nic today. I don't think she's ready for any other model of PV though, she really likes the automated and less hassle 901 as compared to manuals. Yes I know, she hasn't tried manuals but she doesn't want to either (she's very "it should just work with the least effort"). I described manuals and she wasn't going for it. Maybe later.

    But I will definitely give higher mg juice a try. Thank you all.

    Somewhere on this forum there was a message about passing airport security with everything.....liquid, attys, bats, chargers - everything.
    I keep reading that parts can 'expire' at any time so if your cruise is 7 days you might want to order some spare parts to have on hand.

    I'm on day 8 of vaping..... and the first day without an analog. The trick for me is if I HAVE to have a 'smoke' - then that's ok. Now it's to the point where I can only take a drag or two before I can't stand it and put it out.

    Well, I left on a business trip and I just got back. She didn't vape much, just in bed as usual. However, we are going on the 7 day cruise and when I said that we should leave the ecig and supplies at home she said "Hell no!". LOL.

    She also mentioned that the regular cigs were tasting even crappier by the day. So there is definite progress :thumb:.

    So, we just got 24mg RY4 and that seems to be even more effective. We've been packing all morning for the trip and I've kept giving her the ecig and she hasn't had a single analog in like 4hrs! That's a first.

    Hi everyone. I got my first 510 today, and am new to vaping. I was hoping that someone could answer some of the questions I have.

    1. To drip on the atomizer, how many drips should I put on max?

    2. Do I take the filling out of the cartridge and put it back on after I drip on the atty?

    3. If I just use the cartridge, and fill it with my own liquid, how much do I put on? So far too keep it moist, I have put about 5 droppers worth of liquid onto it for it to taste good.

    4. What shouldnt I do to kill the atty?

    5. How long do they usually last?

    6. Should I really follow the instructions and charge the battery for 8 hours, then use it for 20 mins. and recharge?

    7. What is the protocol for changing flavors when dripping on the atty?

    8. The directions say not to hold the button down more than 5 seconds, sometimes I need more than 5 seconds to get a good draw.

    9. Has anyone ever mixed there niquid with glycerin to get more/better vapor? and where is a good place for me to buy some if recommended?

    10. Are there any maintenance suggestion you may have for me to keep this running in great condition?

    Thanks a million for your help. I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
