Newbie Here...2 Questions Please

[boochips]

Hi,

I just got my Prodigy 801 today and I am enjoying it. I just don't know anything about manual. How long can I hold the button in before the atomizer gets too hot? Also, I was wondering, if I fill my cartridges with smoke juice do I also have to drip on the atomizer? Thanks for any help. The only other e cig I had before today was a njoy NPro which did not impress me. Today I received an 801 Penstyle kit too which I also like but the Prodigy is wonderful I am just afraid I will break it...lol

You can hold the button for as long as you like, just make sure that the atomizer is moist while doing so. Personally, I can't handle more than five seconds worth of a drag.

Hi Boo, I have had my Prodigy 801 about a month, had to learn a bit.

I hold my button down for about 4 seconds, that is a plentiful hit. You dont want your atty to get too hot. Drip a couple drops, take a couple of hits and if the atty feels really warm, wait a bit for it to cool before hitting it again. Getting the atty too hot will fry it. I had to learn this the hard way. You wont break it, it is built like a tank.

Also, when I first got my Prodigy, i grossly under-estimated how much juice to use. it will get really hot wthout enough juice.

I drop 3 drops, take a couple hits, drop a couple more and take a few more puffs. I quit using carts and drip directly now as it seems the cart was not giving it enough juice. IMO it draws better and you get better flavor without a cart. The Prodigy was made for dripping.

One good way to tell if the atty is too dry is- when you hit the botton for a sec and stop, if the atty still sizzles a bit (after you let go of the button) it may be to dry.

If your atty gurggles, you have too much juice. In this case, I blow from the battery end into a paper towel to remove extra juice. Another thing I do if flooded is hold my atty over the sink by the battery end and flip it a few times like Im shaking down a thermometer. Careful not to hit it on anything.

Like I said earlier, I too, am new, but these are things I have learned and practice. Works for me. Takes a bit of practice but is the very best I have ever used!

PS. You may want to get a couple of extra attys to have on hand and dont be afraid to ask any questions, the peeps here and at Puresmoker are a nice, helpful lot!

Thanks for the help. I have never tried just dripping with no cart but I will give it a try. I did buy 2 extra atomizers and plan to buy a few more. I guess I will need some more juice too. I have Pure Smokers menthol and I love it. I also bought the Riskee Yuice and it's good but I am a diehard menthol smoker for 30 years now...lol
I have to add that I have not wanted or needed a tobacco cigarette since my batteries got charged up last night!

Thank You Pure Smoker!! I love my Prodigy!

Hey Boo,

We recommend 2-3 seconds on a 901, and 3-4 (maybe 5) seconds on the 801 and 510!
You can also continue to drag once you release the button for another 2 seconds or so (you'll still get a tad more vapor)

BTW Boo, If you find that you prefer carts over dripping... Avoid using tall-bridge DSE801 atty's with carts as many folks are having alot of trouble with that combination on the Prodigy.

The best atty's I have found for use with standard 801 carts on my Prodigy and PT's are found here... 801 Atomiser - Colors - e-Cigs Penstyle e-Cig 801 801 - Auto - Eastmall International Co.,Ltd
I bought 10 of those atty's about 6 weeks ago and have had 4 in rotation since then with zero failures, and they will suck a cart dry on the Prodigy so be sure to swap 'em out or top 'em off reguarly to keep that coil wetted.
I've also heard some folks state they are having good luck with carts on the BE112 atty's, But I haven't tested them myself.

Good Luck and enjoy your new Prodigy!

I can vouch for the BE112's. They seem too easy a draw at first but somehow they soon tighten up to just right.

Thanks everyone. You are all alot of help for a newbie like me....lol
And Puffin you are so right about the juice flavor being so much better by dripping without a cart!! It's wonderful. Don't know if I CAN go back to a cartridge now, you've turned me into a juice junkie!!! I better get some more atomizers!
