My favorite tobacco flavor for all day vaping is Drewbacco-1. If you haven't tried it yet, add it to your next order...you won't be disappointed! It's a tobacco blend with a mild almond flavor added...so delicious!!!

I have ordered Drewbacco-1 and the coffee one(for that AM boost:D).
Should be here today or tomorrow.
 
Is the xhaler a 5v?

That depends on what you mean by "a 5v". Most other commercial mods that advertise as 5V, have a resistor/regulator or booster to adjust the voltage to the 5 volt range. The Xhaler is somewhat unique in that it allows you to select the voltage by changing the type of batteries you use and the position of the adjustable delrin cap at the bottom--when the cap is screwed in tight, there is increased resistance bringing the initial voltage under load into the 5V range when used with 2 x 3V CR123a batteries. If you prefer 6V, or when the voltage of the battery starts to drop as it depletes, you can loosen the bottom cap and thereby "boost" the effective voltage under load.

I definitely prefer 5V (or roughly 10W) vaping, so unless I'm just experimenting and want to see what "6V" tastes like, I always have the cap on my Xhaler tightened whenever I'm using freshly charged batteries and only loosen it when I notice the voltage dropping below "the sweet spot" and I'm not ready or able to recharge.

Ok, just when I thought I knew how all this worked, I've had nothing but problems. At first my cartomizers were working great, great hit and flavor it was all there, then every now and then i get one thats (airy) probably not right word but unless i put my finger over the hole in the adapter I get nothing. the same cart will work good on a 3.7 battery so I've been trying to sort them out. I can live with this so far now for the real problems, I got the 510 adapter from Drew so I figured I would give that a shot - I thought the cartomizers were awesome, well the 510 atty is absolutely awesome, bigger hit and more flavor using my exhaler. The problem I am having is that i've went thru 2 atomizers already and not sure why, each 1 only lasted a day and a half then went cold dead. the first one right from the start constantly tasted like burning plastic but i didn't blow out the fluid they store them in first so i figured that was why, anyway I primed it with a couple drops and with a filled cart started vaping, I am using the PTB carts from cignot by the way (this is also where the attys came from) as soon as i sensed the flavor change I stopped and refilled and the cart would take about 10 drops. well then somewhere in this i got tired of the plastic taste and blew the atty out from the thread end, primed and took a drag - nothing, dead. Second atty I blew out first then primed and still using the PTB Carts took off running - life was good for about a day and then again on a refill - dead !!!!! WTF.

I took apart the first atty and it looked like 1 side of the coil was all pushed together, the other side was open (it was really wet by the way) the second one the coil looked fine except for where it was open (the coil itself opened - not the solder joints) again this one was wet also. Am I flooding them? does it hurt them to be too wet? I never got juice in my mouth and no leaks so I thought all was good, then just Dead, anyone think of something I am doing wrong, I really want to stay with the 510 on the xhaler but I can't afford a new atty every day. I ordered a HV atty from Drew (4.5 ohm) to try next.

Any advice appreciated.
