Came home from lunch today and my 510 kit was sitting in my mailbox! Alright, so I didn't really ever fall in love with the 901 but I think a lot had to do with the local tobacco shop I bought it, along with my e-liquids from, & not realizing that my atty's had gone bad or that I needed to replace the batteries every so often. I'm trying to make sure I do all of the "housekeeping" things with the new 510 (and my eGo, which I found out about after I ordered my 510 and couldn't wait to order, so I just found out it was shipped out today and will be here Wednesday!) so that if I don't like it it's not because I'm using an e-liquid that's no good or my parts are no longer working the way they should.
Anyway, I stuck my battery on the charger after I got it so when I walked in the door an hour and a half ago it had more than completed the 8 hour charge I heard so many people recommend when it initially arrives. Let me just say, I've been vaping for nearly 2 hours now and it's much better than any time I ever vaped with my 901. More vapor, stronger TH's, the whole deal. My only problem is I still don't think I'm tasting my e-liquids the way I should/could be. I switched to Awesome Vapor for liquids a month or so before I gave up on my 901, and because I liked their customer service & knew they had 36mg juices, I ordered a big bottle of Hilton and a big bottle of RY4, along with the 2 sample 18mg bottles they send with every bottle you buy (I got 555 & cuban cigar). Like I said, though, I still didn't feel like I was tasting my liquid like I've heard others describe so I thought it might be because I have no idea what filler these pre-filled tips were filled with so I might not even be tasting my liquids yet. I read on here where somebody said that unless the pre-filled cartridges are filled with the flavor you're wanting, you can always take them out and replace them with around 1/3 of the cotton from an analog so I did that and filled it up. I've been vaping for around 15 minutes now and it's a big difference, but still not the step up I was hoping for.
Does anybody have any advice for me? I feel like I'm tasting a little too much "burnt taste" with each hit, maybe because the liquid's too strong, or maybe because the atty needs to be cleaned before using? I read that on here somewhere too but I can't find where I read it and wanted to know if anybody cleans their atty's (warm water maybe?) before using them for the first time. Also, does anybody have any recommendations on whether or not Awesome Vapor's liquids are as good as some of the other sites, or should I try placing an order from a more common liquid site around here, something like Tasty Vapor or cignot. Any advice would be much appreciated. I want to make sure I've got a decent grasp on my 510 before my eGo arrives, because I'm pumped about it coming and am afraid that if I only feel the same, barely above luke warm feeling I'm feeling about this one, that I'll just give up on the idea again. Really don't want to, as I think I'll enjoy this once I figure some things out, but to be honest it feels like it's getting super complicated and I'm already feeling like I'm spending more cash on this than I'd have spent on analogs in a month!
TIA guys, like I said, it's a big step up from the 901, just wondering what other people do to make sure they are experiencing the 510 at the best quality possible!
