Nebula Questions

[Hangar]

Has this new device been tested at all by any users?...it looks interesting but before buying it id like to know a few things about it such as:

1. How many puffs/drags have users/or yourself been able to actually achieve from these disposable atomizer/carts on average?...my 401 carts give me maybe 30-35 at best after refilling.

2. have you tested how long (lifetime) the carts/atomizer will actually last while refilling them?...in other words how many times can i wash/refill before they die or become useless?

3. how does the amount of vapor and throat hit compare to a 401?

4. How many hours will a freshly charged battery last?


Thank you!

I also have some questions. I am considering wether to stick up on spare parts for my M401 or a second e-cig as an alternate vaporizer.

1) What is the overall length?

2) How many mL of juice does the cart hold?

3) How many mAH is the battery?

Hiya G35...I too have an m401...which is a good enough "out & about" ecig for when im mobile, but im thinking id like something a little less "wimpy" for home use that will yield alot more vapor with less effort and also wont require 7 carts a day like the 401 (its alot of maintenance dont you think?)

I also have some questions. I am considering wether to stick up on spare parts for my M401 or a second e-cig as an alternate vaporizer.

1) What is the overall length? Ben said about the length of the 901 I believe

2) How many mL of juice does the cart hold? Don't know ML but they say 250 to 300 puffs or the equivalent of a pack of analog cigarettes. Leaford dripped the cart when it was getting low with 15-16 drops of eliquid.

3) How many mAH is the battery?

How many mAH is the battery? Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere. Fully charged Battery should last 4 to 7 hours. All depends on how much you vape & whether the battery is fully charged, IMHO!

Hangar, My original device of choice with the Intellicig Evo. The Vapor King blows the Evo away. I do not get more than ONE full day on a cartridge when refilling. Could be the type of e-juice I'm using but still at $2 to $3.00 per cart per day it's a little less than paying for analogs IMHO!
have you tested how long (lifetime) the carts/atomizer will actually last while refilling them?...in other words how many times can i wash/refill before they die or become useless? You don't wash the filter but inject eliquid or drip the eliquid How long they last is probably depending on how much one vapes per day but I just don't know. As I said I'm using one cart per day by refilling several times. I go through 2 to 3 batteries per day because I like them fully charged and vape a lot.

3. how does the amount of vapor and throat hit compare to a 401? Better than my EVO or any other ecig I've tried & I've tried many

Can't wait to get my new Nebula to do a comparison with the Vapor King. All of my above comments refer to the Vapor King since I'm awaiting delivery of the Nebula. Hope it's comparable if not superior. At least the charger should be superior to the flimsy, poorly made USB charger that came with the VK!

Hi Peaches...are you saying you can only refill the VK cart ONCE before its useless? You also said you have to refill a few times per day?...how many analogs would you say you're smoking the equivelent of then?...this worries me because if you only smoke a pack or so per day it means the carts are not really lasting a full packs worth.

Since the Vapornine site claims its Nebula is refillable im hoping that a refill will be able to yield nearly the same amount of puffs that the original does (1 day) and that itll hold up to at least 3 refills (3 days total)...this would mean i could scoot by on maybe 8-10 carts per month if i refill them 3x during that period...giving a cost of around $25-$30 per month (plus the cost of refill liquid which is probably another $40)...still expensive for a bad habbit but at under $100 per month its still around 33% cheaper than ordering real cigs online these days (3 cartons per month is probably around $150 online delivered).

Im using a 401 but its puffs are very inconsistent and i feel its a bit too weak or wimpy for me...i want something thats a work horse with great vapor and throat hit yet doesnt require as much maintenance as the 401 (currently refilling 6-7 carts/day)

Hangar, this is the same exact reason I am looking at the Nebula. I want something that takes a little less work than the M401. I carry mine around in my pocket all day so I like its small size.

Peaches, I read that the Nebula has the same size as the 901 battery but, I thought that the atomizer/cart size was shorter. Also, I read that the VK held about 1ML of liquid (compared to .3-.4 mL in the M401).

I asked about mAH of battery life since this is the typical way that battery capacities are rated. (M401 = 200mAH, M402 = 150 mAH) So if the battery lasts 4-7 hours then it is 1.5 - 2 times as much as the M401 battery.

Thank you!

1- I've used single atomizers for over a week
2. I've used single carts for a day (though peoples mileage will certainly vary depending on the strength and their vaping habits..sorry, don't have an exact number)
3.. I don't know much about the 401, but these have a very VERY noticeable throat hit
4. Again, about a day in my case but I think most heavy vapers will need 2 per day

Syntax...im confused...since the carts/atomizers are 1 single piece how can you use the atomzier for a week but the cart for only 1 day??...i must be misunderstanding something.

Maybe you meant that you received an entire days usage out of the cart before having to refill?...if so, once refilled does it last as long as its original fill liquid did? ( another full day)

 

[Peaches]

Hi Peaches...are you saying you can only refill the VK cart ONCE before its useless? You also said you have to refill a few times per day?...how many analogs would you say you're smoking the equivelent of then?...this worries me because if you only smoke a pack or so per day it means the carts are not really lasting a full packs worth.

Hangar, No I can refill the VK cartomizer much more than once. I don't have an exact number on how many refills per cartomizer as yet, sorry.
I also can't say how any equivalent analogs I'm vaping BUT I'm very sure that I am vaping lots more than smoking analogs. I do hope to decrease the amount of nicotine that I am vaping. Hope to be able to switch between very low/no nic to higher levels as needed. Eventually I would be thrilled to be doing only zero nicotine.

For the time being I'm more concerned about the health benefits of giving up analogs versus am I saving money. Hopefully my new vaping habit will save me a few dollars a month but I'll be o.k. if I break even with the costs of vaping vs. analogs.

I've kept a VK cartridge refilled for over a week. That was by prying off the cap. I'm still experiencing a learning curve with Ben's method of dripping through the battery end. So far I've been able to keep going for a couple days that way.

 

[Peaches]

Leaford, With taking off the cap does it make a difference if you drip or do you inject with a syringe to get a week's use out of the cartomizer? What e-liquid are you using?
TIA

 

[Hangar]

Thanks for the info everyone...i really appreciate the input...what i cant understand is why nobody ever seems to have any real numbers to talk about. I mean, heck...call me .... but the first thing i did with this new 401 was to start keeping track of how many drags i was taking before needing to change or refill the carts and how many drops the carts were taking to refill...this is a drug afterall and im trying (as i thought everyone else would too) to track my approximate usage to compare with my analog usage so i wont go overboard on nicotine. At the same time tracking the numbers helps you to know how much supplies and liquid to order for a certain amount of time.

I cant imagine im the only one who tests this way...im not saying i do it everyday of course, but id certainly do it for at least 2 or 3 days after receiving a new device.

If we cant discuss real numbers then its all just subjective opinion unfortunately...which means buyer beware because what lasts an entire day for 1 person might only last an hour for someone else, hehe.

Im going to purchase one as i REALLY want something that has alot more vapor and alot less work than the 401 im currently using...401 carts are a pain in the rump...after refilling sometimes youll get 30 drags out of it, yet other times youll only get 10 drags...its waay too inconsistent for my liking.

again, not to be unappreciative here...but "a weeks usage" is meaningless without any real numbers to go by. It might have taken him a week to drag on it 200 times for all we know. What it DOES seem to say is that the carts, once refilled, wont dry out within a weeks time.

 

[Peaches]

Hangar, Looking forward to seeing your reviews, calculations & conclusions when you receive your Nebula & or VK.

 

[Hangar]

heh, i dunno about a review...but I know if I were a seller i'd certainly be providing such informational reports on my products information page. It's not so difficult to explain in a simple text report what your drag timing habbits are (long, short, primers or not) and then display approx. how many drags you're getting per refill (number of drops used to refill) with a particular cart/device combo.

Such a simple thing yet none of the sellers seems to be taking the time to do it...heck maybe i should start my own e-cig service report company (lol).

I haven't tried it with a syringe more than once or twice, I just drip. 15-20 drops or so at a time, a couple of times a day. I've used several brands. Jane's, Janty, Freesmoke, whichever flavor I want.

again, not to be unappreciative here...but "a weeks usage" is meaningless without any real numbers to go by. It might have taken him a week to drag on it 200 times for all we know. What it DOES seem to say is that the carts, once refilled, wont dry out within a weeks time.

I was referring to refilling it multiple times. Not a week on one refill. The LTv9 gives apx 250-300 2-3 second inhalations on a fresh cart. I have not done a puff count on the VK yet, but my sense is that it lasts a little bit less, so as a working estimate, I figure 200-250 2-3 second puffs per fresh cartridge.

Refilled cartridges vary a lot in how long they last before needing refilling again, and in how many refills you can get before they die, so a puff count would be pointless. Just figure they may or may not last as long as a fresh one, and they may or may not be able to be refilled one more time.

 

[Peaches]

Thanks Leaford, appreciate the info.

 

[Hangar]

YES same here, thanks for the numbers Leaford!...much appreciated.
