Maybe you should try to reduce the speed you suck on the device. Using a lower vacuum over time. E.g. Your mouth has about 50 cubic centimeters volume, until now you filled this in 3 seconds. Now try to fill the same volume in 8 seconds. The result should be a much more dense vapor because you let the atomizer more time to produce it. While doing this try to not overheat the atomizer and dry out the depot... ;)

I am not sure how to save posts in favs to send. Here is a post I made earlier to start the ball rolling:


***************************************************************************
"If you must have the "look and feel" of an analog, I would strongly consider a 4081 or standard 510. The performance of the EGO is better. However everything in the ECIG world is a tradeoff. Taste vs vapor. Battery life vs. size. TH vs. vapor or taste.

In my view the 4081 has better taste and good TH, but lower vapor than a 510. Personally i doubt i could use a 4081 as my standard PV as I need more umph. But I smoked 1.5 plus packs of analogs. That is where my EGO comes in.

Some will recommend the KR808. I should not comment on it perhaps as I do not like it.

Edit: The problem is that you, and everyone, wants max vapor, max taste, max battery life, easiest to use, smallest in size and cheapest to buy. Unfortunately that animal does NOT exist as of yet. Period. If it did every person would order it and i would be the first! You will have to decide what features/attributes are more important to you, and choose that one.

If cost were not an issue the SmokeStik Hendu(4081) sounds perfect for you. But they are not cheap. If you recall, I mentioned trade-off... LOL."

***************************************************************************

Much of what is best for you will depend on usage. How many packs do you smoke? I have The Safe Cig, which is likely very similar to a GreenSmoke.

When you mention brand, what you have to understand is the model you like, first and foremost. Most of your mass marketed are just that - brands. They are mostly a model with their sticker....

Considering I started with almost the same product as you, here was my review of my second PV a couple of weeks ago. I think it will be helpful.

Thanks for the response. I smoke a 1.5 packs per week. I know, it doesn't seem like a lot but I do like my fix and am mostly looking for more dense vapor, however I like the GreenSmoke taste.

I like Safe Cig taste as well. Do I think it can possibly be a main PV to use for a 1.5 pack a day smoker? No. I would read my link on my EGO review to give you a better idea as i am rather sure the GreenSmoke and the Safe Cig are very smiliar, if not the same and I also smoked 1.5 plus per day...

The Ego/Tornado are great decices for vapor output esp. when used with low resistance atomizers.The greensmoke only allows short inhales and shuts off(3 seconds i think)Check out you tube.Type in a device and likely it's on there.Many greensmoke users seem to be blown away after trying one of the others I mentioned.I have had a few different e cigs and even my friends who are still reluctant to quit smoking like it,and have gotten about 5 of them to get it and they love it.Don't think you would be disapointed.As far as taste there are many options and places to get great e liquids.

I too am very new to e-cigs (about a month). My advice after jumping on some hardware I have regretted, based on pretty adds and without a lot of research, is to look for a model with good battery capacity. Getting stuck on it needing to look exactly like a cigarette wears off fast when you find that the battery will only last a couple hours. I personally like the two piece idea and went with the KR808D-1 style because the batteries are rated at 250 to 280 mAH typically. I tried the XL battery but that thing is so long it is awkward, in my opinion. I have no complaints about the model and there are a lot of vendors to choose from. I have never tried the 510 but, it seems to be very popular across the board. I also am trying an xPower which is similar to an Ego but, for the M301/601. So far I like it. In hind site, I would have gone straight for the bigger battery model for the style (510/KR808D-1/M601) I like and then just get some standard batteries to go with it, if I wanted the cigarette feel.
