I am a newbie and also fell for the 510, awesome vapor but hardly any throat hit . It makes me crave for an analog big time which I finally broke down and lit up. I started with a 801 and was smoke free for a week until I ran out of carts and was waiting for the 510 starter kit. I learned the cartridges I got with the 801 sucked and ordered carts from another company and was happy with the throat hit, taste and the lack of cravings for a big red. I even took the wool out of the cart, pulled it apart and stuck it into the smaller 510 cart and still couldn't get the throat hit I desire or the lack of craving for an analog even if I drip. I already invested a couple hundred dollars in starter kits and hope I can find one that works for me the best.
