Maybe not even that.

Use a Kensington with manual switch passthrough and within 5 mins a whole self filled cart is dry...


Anyone else have this problem ?

I must be going through at least 5 mls a day at this rate.

Had a 8 hour drive (4 each way) to scotland and back today and was on it constantly. And done another 5 carts worth since been home.

eeeekkk ok only 12mg strength...

Sounds like you're vaping out of habit. I get that way sometimes too. Try some zero nic, and just use the 12mg every once in a while for a hit.

Sounds pretty much like me except I am vaping 24mg and 18mg currently and not quite 5ml/day. We are both likely not far enough away from our analog smoking days to be able to substantially cutback on nicotine intake just yet. Hell, I burned 20+ smokes for over 30 years. Just not smoking tobacco at all is a huge step. I am not going to sweat a little heavy use of smoking fluid right now.

it might not need "will power" to swap from real cigs to e cigs... but i do think a little might be required not to go overboard and act like a total pr-t with e cigs..

trying "weak" real cigs never used to work with me.. i just smoked more of them.. i am inclined to think the same applies to e cigs.. if there is a danger from e cigs.. it wont be from the nicotine it will be from the excessive quantities of vapour you are inhaling..

try some 36 mg liquid and some of that "will power" stuff mixed in with it..

First thing in the morning I can dry out an 801 cart in 15 minutes or less (automatic usb passthrough) The safety feature slows me down. Perhaps not economical, but a month ago that woulda been 3 cigs.

I find that if I am continuously vaping on an 801 (regardless if using the passthrough and powerpack or not) that I end up having to wipe the sides of the carts every few minutes. I actually find that more fluid is being wasted than vaped and I know I am not overfilling. So my carts go dry pretty quickly as a result of this (in about 15 minutes if contunously vaping on it in the evening which I do sometimes). I don't have a manual switch for mine.

I think the 801 is my best device to drip with anyway so if don't use the carts I don't go through much liquid dripping instead. If I am dripping with the 801 there is no way I can drag it continuously for 15 minutes (more like 5 minutes).

I don't have this problem with my SD, or using a 901 with passthrough and powerpack.

I am curious if anyone else is having the same problem. It's kind of silly that my 901 carts last longer than my 801 carts as a result.

Working at home on the computer, I often find it hard to put my PV down. I, like so many of us, constantly have it in my hand and using it like a pacifier. I have no idea how much I vape a day but I know I am either constantly dripping or topping off carts. I don't know if it is the nic or the need to have a throat hit or vapor/smoke exit my mouth. I'm vaping 16-18mg now and I don't really want to increase my nic intake. Maybe I'll try using a higher nic just to see if I do it less.

After watching the intro vid from puresmoker and the new Prodigy, I am really psyched to receive the 801 @ 6volts. Maybe it is the throat hit I'm looking for and the Prodigy just might be the ticket to lower my nic intake.

When i started vaping i was exactly the same. Now i'm 5 months in and i have really leveled off to around 2ml a day of 12mg and a few hits of 24mg.

I have to agree that a 12mg mix just doesn't hit that much, but it feeds the habit side without overdoing the nic. If i feel the need for a nic hit i top off with some uncut 24mg.

I do the same some days. I have a separate atomizer for 24 uncut French Pipe when I want a proper hit.

Yeah, what's up with that? My Kissbox, which uses an 801 style atomizer, does it too. I do keep my carts really wet along with dripping the atomizer, but I don't see how the liquid gets on the side of the cart. I never get liquid in the mouth, though.
