My Personal Loong Totem V9 review

[BrazilyanGuy]

Hi everybody! Today my Loong Totem V9 arrived. I was completely anxious about it! Man, this thing is completely amazing. What a product! I have a pen 4072, a mini 901 and one mini e-cigarette, and I can say that the amount of vapour of the V9 is bigger. The consistency of the vapour is excelent too, it's not weak, it looks like a thick cloud. The draw is not so easy, which I particularly prefer. The filter is not made of pure plastic, it's made of rubber, which is more confortable. About the cons I have three things to say. The lead of the battery, where the led is located is made of rubber. I didn't like it because it's dificult to see the light of the led. The starter kit comes only with one battery and that's not good. The other thing that I didn't like is that sometimes you can feel a little bit of liquid in your mouth, but it is not often. These are small complains that doesn't affect the functionality of the product. I really recommend it.

By the way, anyone knows If it's possible to refill the cartridges?

 

[Nazareth]

Yes- it's posssible

Brazilyanguy is this a cigar, and can you inhale and exhale vapor? I know most of the cigars out there u can't exhale any vapor. THank you

 

[futbol9]

What does V9 means? does this means the battery has more power and it last longer?

 

[Alper]

futbol, its not a cigar its a super mini

ive got one on the way as well, heard great things so far

cant wait

thanks for the info mate

3 problems i have with LT's.
1. the batteries dont last long
2. the carts dont last long
3. no flavour and no back of the throat hit.

Correct on one. two and three can be adjusted with dripping but you still don't get as much flavour with these cartridges whatever juice you putting in and I don't ever think we will get a fuller flavour with this design.

dripping for me still doesn't give any back of the throat hit, though i am yet to drop any triple-X-strength down there. as you mentioned the design of these limits the taste factor even with dripping.

when i do drip, the fibre will still eventally start to burn soon enough if the liquid has not filled the area of the fibre immediately around the element in good measure. when any of this area is dry, it burns regardless of whether there is liquid in other parts of the fibre. also you can saturate the cartridge and it wont work at all. dripping is a bit of an exact science with these.

Loong need to tweak the design. They need to replace the fibre with a different kind that holds more liquid and surround the element with something like steel wool so it never has the chance to burn. some of the carts do have steel wool in them but they dont work as well as the ones that dont because it has not been placed correctly.

he also needs to source different batteries.

I was just saying on Trog's screwdriver thread that he should outfit that with a LT v9 atomizer. THAT would be something.

DC- I ordered soem 24 mg carts from loong & the htroat hit and nic rush was quite a bit better for around 6-7 ciggs worth of vaping or so. I'd imagine some good 36mg wicked juice would help things a bit for ya. I've been using cartridges for 4-5 days before the cotton gets so saturated it doesn't work anymore- when I drip I only drip 2-3 drops of liquid which lasts for quite soem time.

I have noticed that some cartridges however work longer than others for some reason- not sure what's going on there.

If Ecig.com's mini cig batteries fit- it would be a great deal to get a bunch & just take a few batteries along when going out- they are small enough to fit in regular cigg pack to keep as back-ups.

i could have just got a really bad batch of carts but most of them were SH1TE. i got the half 24mgs and half regular and did not notice a difference. but i think jack takes us all for fools or something.

I think i will order e-cigs version and join the waiting game with Trog and the others but I think they are waiting so long because e-cig are just ordering in bulk from loong or from where loong gets them from and they need to wait for alot of orders to come in first. they offer the exact same flavours and colours that loong offers if you order bulk. the list is huge. co-incidence, no.

I got mine today. I ordered 24mg flue cured taste, but the packages I received says 16mg Tabacco, so I am not sure I received the right ones.

Naz, when you received your 24mg's, did it say so on the package ?

Other than that, the taste of the cartridges are sooooo bad I couldn't beleive it. I have now tried a few different carts from different packages to eliminate bad ones, but I get a taste like a mixture of soap and burned rubber. I just tried to drip a couple of drops from my janty strawberry bottle, but that doesn't remove the super bad taste.

I do get a lot of vapor, but no way that justifies the most bad taste I have tried so far.

 

[Nazareth]

bpn- sounds like you got soem bad ones- I've had hte regular tobacco flavored carts & they were not bad at all- weak- but didn;'t taste bad. When I got the 24 mg ones, they wrote the strength on the inside flap of the packaging for hte carts-

I got 24 mg vanilla- didn't really care for the actual flavor, but hte hit and nic rush were noticably stronger than the 8 mg regular ones I had.

DC - yeah I'm gonna order soem carts and batteries & charger from Ecig when they get their act otgether and get htem in for shipping.

 

[dc2k08]

bpn, i think flue-cured and tobacco are one in the same. my carts came either saying 8mg or "high". the ones marked "high" were supposed to be the super strength. while the 8mg are called "high on his web-site. I ordered half high and half extra-high.
the strengths on his web-site are:
low=4mg
med=6mg
high=8mg
xtra-high-?

if you got some saying 16mg tobacco, they are supposed to be flue cured extra high.

 

[bpn]

Thanks for the replies.
I will try to chat with them tonight and see what they say, but I guess the'll say that I have strange tastebuds, and they don't believe all my 10 packages could be bad ones.

But no matter what mine says 16mg on the package, and nothing inside on the flap, so I guess they sent me the wrong ones no matter what.

I was told by Rita to write what I wanted in the comment field, and I wrote 24mg flue cured, so well, I will see what she says tonight.

Do you really think that the kick in the throat is made by the amount of Nicotine in the cartridge? I don't think so. I have a 4072 pen with low nicotine cartridges that the hit in the throat is powerfull. I would like to know where to find the bottle of this e-liquid to buy. Here is the photo of the pen and the cartridge box:

Is there a way to refill the loong totem cartridge with a syringe?

I think that the power of the hit is related to the flavour, maybe the amount of PG????

I'm using the Vanilla cartridges in my V9 and it really has a vanilla taste, but if you smoke it a lot sickly sweet.

 

[dc2k08]

bpn 16mg is the highest they go, that is extra high. if they told you you could get 24mg they were lying. they will tell you they love your grandmother if it means they will get a sale.

Brazilian guy, i dont think the nic quantity makes a difference in throat hit with these. all mine act the same way, though they could all be the same for all i know. it is the design of the atomizer that largely governs the throat hit.

you can refill these, pop the rubber cap off by inserting something small in the hole and prise it off. drip away. its a good idea to only drip a little and try to drip in around the centre without dripping down the wire-tube. and let it sit for a period of time to saturate.

Man, thank you very much about the info!
I will try refill one of my cartridges with my e-cig.co.uk Camel e-liquid.
That's why this forum is great!

So, I think the V9 is a good option for the people that doesn't like the strong hit in the throat, don't you think? The amount of vapour is really outstanding.

DC- Mine had '24mg' Vanilla written on the inside of hte flap-

Brazill- the Vanilla Carts I got definately had a much harsher htroat hit and nic rush than the 8 mg ones. I too have had soem penstyle cartridges that were quite harsh and lower nicotine content, but there was a different 'throat hit' than the one I'm talking about- I mean a good nic throat hit, not a harsh chemical-like throat hit that can come from cartridges with soem strange ingredient like I got in a BestEcig cigar once- that was just a nasty harsh throat-hit that burned.

Only use 2-3 drops when you refill- if you use too much, it will 'clog up' the atomizer much quicker

Thanks for the info Nazareth. What e-liquid would you recommend for a good hit?
