New L2 510 vs 901 - First Report Newb Rant

[Scottbee]

All great feedback...i truely appreciate it. I read the info about wicking but i really dont think that identifies my issue. More vapor generally equates to more throat hit...if you flood it then you typically get less vapor and less hit.

That's actually not correct. Yes..a FULLY flooded atty will give you less vapor and less throat hit. An "overly wet" atty (not gurgling flooded mind you) will often give you great vapor.. but less throat hit. The vapor heat and throat hit go hand-in-hand. That's why a true 510 (not necessarily the L2 mind you) and higher voltage mods are renown for their throat hit. Hot vapor. You can hear the "sizzle".

But the L2.. especially a "wet" L2, will give you cooler vapor. And that can cost you some hit.

I ordered an L2 510 last week. I LOVE this thing. I also have a stainless steel 901 that i love because i can use it for long periods of time (the 510 overheats if you snoop dog it), and i can lock it between my teeth and puff out vapor.

But the 510 is fantastic, it makes monster vapor clouds, and the juice tastes SO good. I never owned a "real" 510, but the L2 is great. The cart it comes with falls out which is a joke, so i use a 901 cart with the tea bag mod. After using the tea bag mod, it makes the juice last longer, and it wicks much better. Which results in thicker clouds, more consistent vapor and throat hit, as well as better tasting juice.

I have 4 510, two with manual, two without. I also have a chuck. The chuck is just
great on lengthy smoking, and battery life. No pass-throughs needed with this baby. The 510s are great, but really prefer the ones without the buttons.

I wanted to ask if anyone has heard of the Vapor 51? I like the streamlined look of this
unit and the fact it is metal, steel and aluminum I believe. Does anyone know whether this a good vapeing apparatus? I'm also looking at the GG, but think I would like the slim
as I don't need another large, great-vaping biggie like the chuck. Wanting something with long battery life, and slim and feminine looking. Any suggestions? And any opinions on the Vapor 51? Appreciate all feedback...thanks.

Here is another update...

The root of my problem = Vermont vapor tobacco 20mg. This stuff tastes great and has rediculious vapor, but no throat hit. I Cleaned out my atty that was working well with RMV juice and now am using VV tobacco and there is a ton more vapor and no throat hit...wow
