New member vaping 510 (Manual taste question)

[yaoikitten]

Hello ECFites.

I've been lurking for a while, but recently I've started to want to ask questions in the more interesting forums... so here I am. Received my unboxed 510 and BASIC liquid from cignot about a week ago, and have been very impressed. Not counting a few analogs shared with a coworker during an over-long shift, my transition to the vaping vice has been seamless and very enjoyable :]

Now my question: I noticed that using my manual 510, I was only really tasting the flavor at the end of each inhalation. I tried "pulsing" the manual battery, and found that this resulted in a lot more flavor across the whole inhalation without reducing vapor production. Does anyone know what vaping like this might do to the life of my batteries (I'm concerned about wearing out the buttons) and atomizer?

Hi yaoi,
I use to do the same thing.
What happens is at the end the coil is cooling down and still making vapor, which in turn you get the flavor more pronounced and the vapor is cooler.. Thats why at times when you vape and hold the button on a 510, the taste is sometimes a little burnt. The button was held for too ong. you can hold the button for 3 seconds and take drags of the vapor with a half to one second inbetween which will give better flavor and the vapor will be a bit coolor. Your learning and just taught yourself a good way of getting the better flavor without the burnning taste.
Hope that all makes sense? LOL

Thanks for the greetings, but does anyone know about the effect that this has on the life of the battery? For that matter, what are the most common reasons of battery failure?

I mean, I would assume that the little mechanical switch is the most vulnerable part...

The switches are designed to take some punishment, and as far as battery life, it shouldn't really affect it too much since the 510 batts are really good at putting out the same power from first click to last, it shouldn't decrease the overall life, though.

Figured that out as well, had the same question.

The light on my usb charger is always green, it used to flash red while charging... I've only had it for 2 days... Should I send it back?

I would.. just to be safe....
