Like many, I was interested in a pod system- for it's portability (smaller size) and reduced clouds (at work) vs the typical .5 ohm at ~40W or 1.0 ohm at 25W devices I use.
Just received my Zero today.
After a few hours- I am very underwhelmed - but it could be me, defective pod, or just not 'my cup of tea'.
SET-UP
I filled the pod and did let it sit for a full 20 minutes.
I set the device to the highest wattage setting. (assuming it would still be less overall vape than I'm used to)
I am using DIY juice- 70/30 PG/VG. I usually use around 3% of flavoring- which is probably lighter than most commercial bought liquids, but I do enjoy the flavor on my regular devices, tanks. I used e liquid I had made up- 6 mg (which I know will need to be increased with a pod).
I was not chain vaping through the process. I was taking about a 4-5 second vape each time. Issues I am having:
1. On quite a few vapes- sometimes after I let it sit for 5-10 minutes- I could hear the device turning on and off as I vaped- I guess because of the temp control (one of the reasons I liked the Zero). After reducing the power down to medium level, fewer than before, it would still cycle on/off. At the lowest setting I haven't noticed it.
2. Flavor is less than non-existent. No flavor "at all" not even a hint. I feel as though I am tasting the wicking material. (My mouth feels extremely dry. Like after a burnt hit on a device.
3. While vaping at the higher setting- there were 3-4 vapes where the mouthpiece got VERY uncomfortably hot. Didn't burn, but another 1-2 seconds and I feel it would have burnt my lips.
I have a feeling this pod's coil may be (A) dead due to 'mis-use' / set-up or (B) a factory dud.
So before I repeat any errors with another pod- I asking for assistance.
