How to make air-tight?

[peekapoo]

I got the package yesterday, and today is the first day for me.
So far so good, I have not smoked a single cigarette!
I think it is my first cigarette free day ever since I started smoking 17 yesrs ago.

I would say it gives me 70-80% satisfaction compare to real cigarette which is just enough for me to get by.
Steve sent me many different flavors, and my fav so far is coffee.

Only thing I don't like about it so far is that it is not air-tight.
When I suck on it, it feels like I suck on broken cigarette.
If I could make it air-tight, my satisfaction level would go up by 10%.
Everybody is ok with this? or is there a fix that I don't know about?

It sounds like you have the autos. I have same problem with those. Try the manuals. They're much better in that aspect in my opinion.

The trick is a quick puff then an extremely light, long slow puff. I felt the same way and I tended to hold it like a joint, partially covering up the seam between the carto and battery with my fingers. That creates a harder draw, more like a regular cig. Also, Gazoo I believe came up with a solution that works also. Cut the end off one of the "condoms" and slide it on to the VK partially covering the seam. Adjust it until you get the hit you want (some air has to flow through) That works great too!

But yeah, I prefer the manuals!

yes, I have auto batt. I thought manual just help save battery power.
I guess Im wrong. I will try manual.
Thanks.

Thanks.

In the meantime, try gazoos easy fix, it really does help! But I do think you will like the manuals better.

Great Idea! Why didn't I think of that?

Whooaa, or maybe 8-o. Huge brain, huge avatar. Huge vape, huge ________. I'll let you fill in the blank, LOL!

Seriously, though, I also prefer the manual. But today I had four of them going, each with a different V4L carto on them. One VK manual, one "other brand" auto, 2 901s with adapters for cartos. Vaping bliss!!!!

Thanks jenjen.

Ive been doing this for some of my weaker carts for days now, and it also helps with the "analog" feel.

Glad it's working for you!
