I've been a very happy user of my 510 since i started vaping about 4 months ago. Only had 1 analog since and that was just to test it out for old time sake. Never again.

Anyways, back to my issues.

I got a KR808D for my wife, needless to say she's sticking with her M401 so im giving it a whirl.

These are what my findings are so far going on week 3.

1) Hard to get any decent vapor. New carts, refilled carts, nothing seems to produce any good vapor including ones with VG juice.

2) Cartomizers can get very warm on the lips

3) Cartomizers don't last as long as I thought. I only get maybe an hour, 2 tops out of a full one before it tastes like burnt polly fill.

4) Juice cut with VG isn't good for them at all. Had 1 that did good new, refilled with 25% VG juice and it seemed to produce zero vapor ever since.

5) Ones that do work semi well, only seem to last maybe 2 refills before they just don't work at all. Don't like taking new juice and produce little vapor or throat hit.

6) Ease of draw is stupid light. Like sucking air through a 6" pvc pipe. Getting headaches from the light draw. Tried putting my fingers over the air holes, helped a little. But i've never been able to hit the cut off. Usually only get 1-2 second drags before I can't draw anymore and the LED turns off.

7) Battery life kicks ...! Coming a 510 battery, this was a given

8) Flavor isn't as good as I was expecting. Got a pack of Menthol and 555 carts, menthol is very minty, but the 555 carts don't give much flavor. Tried different juices, no change.

9) When refilling, I can maybe get 10 drops in before its flooding on the top. I tried the swing method and that can get maybe a couple more drops, but usually its full. I figured I wasn't vaping them dry, but confirmed many times with my wife that it was empty and tasting like filler.

Thats about it for now, if anyone can lend any suggestions to any of these issues, id greatly appreciate it.

That's very stragne. When I fill new blank carts I cam get almost 20 drops before spinning and almost 30 with spinning it. My smoke with a new battery is pretty good, even better with my passthrough. With any cart I find it's not as easy to draw, but def not hard, some carts are actually too hard to draw.

When you fill it. Do you angle the cart and drop it toward the edge of the fill and cart wall? I've found that if I drip into the hole towards the atomizer it floods it and it won't vaporize. Where did you order the carts and what juice are you using?

I got my kit from HealthCabin and my juice comes from Eastmall.

I do drip onto the sides. I'm now wondering if they are just bad carts. I opened a another new one last night and vaped it hardcore. This one seemed to do really well. Tad stiffer draw and I was able to refill it with about 18 - 20 drops this morning. It also seemed to last about 4hrs pretty steady vaping. Are they all this inconsistent?

Odd to say the least. Might have to pick up some VK carts to test.

Sounds pretty uncommon. I've been vaping with a VK since Aug 22 and it works well for me no matter what I put in it. Been vaping straight VG with capella's here lately using 2 month old cartridges that have been refilled I don't know how many times. Try a Pass-thru before you count out the cartridges. Could be your battery isn't as good as it should be.
