Hey there!
I just got some full-sized 801's from Iken because of all the talk about the minis and semis I figured I had to try them. I've been vaping for a month now and have been using a Riva which measure about 4.2V fully charged and around 3.6 at the end of the day. I've been using mainly 510 premium and V2 cartos from Isaac, but the last 2 weeks I've been exploring the wide world of dripping with standard and LR atties (bauway and SLB). I've been quite successful with the 510's thanks to Switched and the rest of you guys who chimed in! Thanks again.
I've read a lot on 801 dripping and I guess it's supposed to be less temperamental then 510 dripping, but I haven't beat the learning curve yet. This is my experience:
I've dripped maybe 3 hours on the first one. I get nice clouds of vapor, a decent TH, but very little flavor compared to the 510. I also haven't found my sweet spot. I get clouds, clouds, little vape/nasty taste. I seem to be dumping more juice on this than I do my 510 with little result. I noticed a great deal of condensation on the walls of the atty and am curious if that's where my drops are going? With my 510's I move my pv every pull I take i.e. upward angle then downward angle. Button up then botton down (rotate). This seems to help keep everything saturated and tasting nicely until my vapor production drops then I drip 2 more. I try doing the same with the 801 but I get about 4 nice hits then very sudden drop in the vape/flavor (like I said not much to begin with) Where is all this juice going? It doesn't appear to be flooding (no gurgling, no leaking) Is this just the break-in period? It's a much bigger atty so I imagine there's much more surface to saturate?
Thanks for all your insight into the world of vaping. I like the forum as a whole, but this sub forum is a true gem! Ya'll (thanks bella
) drop pearls of wisdom on a daily basis for a newbie like myself to glean what we can. I'm a much better vaper because of it!
Vape On!
