Help with Dse801!

[Deafmomm]

So I just opened my new high power 801 from LiteCigUsa. I've only used a 510 regular and eGo before this, and the atomizer/cart has me a little stumped. The carts were blank, so I filled them up with some new French Toast juice and just restuffed them with the polyfill. I blew out the atty, but I didn't seem to have any primer come out. Put everything together and vape. Blechh - burnt atty taste. I unstuff, blow out the atty some more, try the cart with fluval, and give it another go. Still blecchy. I've been puffing for about 5 min. and I can't taste my French Toast, only this weird atty. I can tell the vape is much warmer due to the higher battery, which may be lovely if it wasn't for the taste. Is there something I'm missing? I have to admit these atties confused me. The came in these weird covers; surely I'm not supposed to use them in some way? Sorry for the noobness; I'm stumped.

I've found my 801 attys take a few days to season up. They take a fair amount more juice on the bridge than the 510 before you start to get the full taste/vape of the juice. Whenever I've gotten the burnt taste, it's usually a sign of low on juice or time for new poly. Since your poly is already new, I'd make sure you are really getting it soaked with juice.

Add a few, last drops on the top of the cart along with 2-3 on the bridge and then see if you get the juice flow going. Over time, you should be able to get a nice steady flow until the cart is dry.

But be aware that you can flood these. It usually happens to me when I put it down for a long period of time shortly after refilling. Then all that great juice just flow down into the cup and I have to blow it out and "start over"

Good luck.

I'm thinking the fluval is too porous for this; I just looked down and had juice leaking down the sides big time. I hope I don't kill a new battery. This is my first auto batt.

Ah, well you may need to pack the Fluval in a bit tighter. There is a lot more room in the 801 cart and if you don't get a good plug going, you'll flood.

I've actually moved up to 50/50 PG/VG juice to try and help flow control and it seems to be working much better but I do flood out 1 or 2 times a day.

Just blow it all out, fill the cart 1/2 way, stuff in a bit more/thicker Fluval and top it off - try that.

EDIT: I use fish tank filter material for my carts. A bit more dense - to the point where you can actually stop the flow which is the reverse of your issue.

Uggh. I think this one just may not be for me. I've tried 3 different cart mods(fluval, blue foam, PTB), and direct dripping. After 4 hours I cannot get rid of this taste. It may just be that the higher voltage battery is just too much.

Sorry it's not working for you.
I've used mine on 5v passthru and JStick/Bartleby which run on usb around 4.2v consistently and have had no problems.
If you have another atty and some diff juice, I'd try it at least a bit before throwing in the towel

Perhaps just try some direct dripping with an empty cart and see if that helps you get the feel for it.

I am new to vaping also so I am going out on a limb, but read your packing materials...if I remember correctly it says throw away the cart that come in the package and replace it with a new one...this might be the problem or I could be wrong.

Thanks boxer, I am using a different cart. And thanks as well nubee for all your help. I've decided to step away from it a bit. I'll try the other atty maybe later tonight or tomorrow. Back to the eGo for a bit. (You know how it is when you get so frustrated with something - it bleeds over onto everything else.) I'm actually feeling a bit ill physically right now, so I think it's time to lay off. But I do appreciate all your help.
