It's been two full days using the eGO after stepping up from a DSE 901. Wow is all I can say. The 901 reduced my analog consumption from a pack a day to 4 or 5 a day. Now, with the eGO I have only had 3 analogs in two days. Only because they are here. Could do without completely now I am pretty sure.

It seems that I am burning through the blank cartridges that I fill way too fast with this new eGO. How many drops should I be putting in the cart before re-inserting the filler and topping it up? In my DSE 901 I would use about 6 drops and with the eGO have been using about 10 drops. It seems just way too fast that my throat hit fades and I have to "top up" the cart. I have not actually calculated how many hits I am getting on a re-filled cart but it's not very much more than when I direct drip. Got much more mileage with a filled DSE 901 cart and it is like half the size. I do assume that the standard 510 type atomizer would have a faster burn rate in general than a mini DSE 901, so is what I am experiencing just normal for this type of PV? Or should I be loading my carts with more juice?

It almost seems as if my starter kit came with low resistance attys. I highly doubt that though. Any way to visually identify a LR from a standard atty of this type? I am wondering because the vapor production and throat hots have been outstanding with small drags, and combined with the burn rate of the carts.....hmm.

Also, I did go back and use my DSE 901 today and enjoyed the step-down. I thought I'd be tossing it to the curb when i upgraded, but am realizing there is room for both. Sometimes it is nice to mix it up a bit and to have that softer vape you get with a nice long steady drag that the DSE 901 delivers in comparison to the eGo 510 type atty. It's like a powerhouse of vapor to this newbie. :vapor:

Thank you for any replies.

Edit: Hmm, as I typed this i took a break and refilled a cart with a VG juice (USA mix 18mg from L-F) and it seems to be lasting much longer. Nicer TH than i expected too and it tastes really good. Any correlation there between the type of glycerin and the mileage? Was strictly using PG liquids previously from another company.

Hi and welcome. It is great to hear you have significantly reduced smoking and that you are happy with your present setup.

I have not used a 901 so speaking of it would be irresponsible on my part. I can tell you that I did go through a significantly higher amount of juice with my ego. It is definitely not my intention to discourage, but in trying to replicate my smoking experience as closely as possible, I quickly moved on. Again, this is MY smoking experience replication I am describing. What's right for one is not right for another.

This is the 4th or 5th post in which I have mentioned this tonight but here goes.......
With the ego I was using 36 mg juice. I now split between a 5v device and a Leo. I can easily get away with 18mg although I use 24 when I go out to make sure I have the extra "kick" should I need it. Much better to blow out a bit of vapor an inhale the rest as opposed to huffin' and puffin' to get a decent TH.

I direct drip the liquid. By doing so I have been able to get virtually all hits to be consistent.

Stuff you can look into and decide.

All the best!
