not getting enough vapor

[ceejay]

hello, bought my first e-cig and received it today. purchased the mini dse901. i charged the battery for 5 hours and tried it out.
i'm not getting that much vapor or throat hit. do i have to break it in or is there something wrong with it? thanks

Hi ceejay! Some people do experience a breaking in period, maybe about a week or so? I have the 901 and didn't experience this...BUT, and this is kind of dorky of me: I kept wondering why I wasn't getting anything out of mine, then discovered that my fingers were covering the hole on the atomizer! I was used to smoking my penstlye models, which don't have those holes. I bought a 901 kit from litecig that had two atomizers, and one of them did turn out to be DOA. It was just cold, never heated up at all. I emailed him to let him know and he's going to send me a new one, which is cool.

Did you replace the cartridge before you started? They ship it with an empty / blank cartridge. Try a new cartridge... Good Luck!

There are a variety of factors that go into vapor production. Generally, one or two 'primer' puffs seem to be needed to get the atomizer pre-heated and the 'juices' flowing. If you are an analog smoker, an e-cig really cannot fully copy the throat hit and smoke volume you might expect. To me, my njoy NCIG pen-style can only seem to replicate a light or ultra-light analog, not the powerful hit I would get from a full strength analog. This is likely why I vape alot.

Add a drop of glycerine to your cartridge for maximum vapour.

Hello EXPIPEMAN, i am new to e,cigs and i dont get much vapor, but i saw this comment somewhere else so i bought some Glycerine, can you tell me...do i mix with water or use it straight

 

[e-pipeman]

I use it as it is. You can simply add a drop to a cartridge or mix some e-liquid with glycerine 50/50 in an eye dropper bottle. Let us know how you get on.

thanks for the suggestions, yes i replaced the blank cartridge that it came with. i used a nicotine cartridge and even put several liquid drops in it and the vapor isn't that great still. i guess this is how it's supposed to be. it's not bad at all but seeing other video reviews their vapor is so much more than what i'm getting!

I get the opposite impression.
I get more vapor than the videos from all my devices, 901 included.

do i just have a defective product then? perhaps a bad atomizer? it still gets kind of warm but i'm just not getting much vapor...

Put 2 drops of liquid on the atomizer. That will help. You can also hold your finger over the hole in the atomizer for just a second as you draw in and then take your finger off and continue to draw as you usually would. See if that makes a difference.

where should i put the drops? the hole where it connects to the battery or where it leads to the cartridge?

This should be interesting...

The opening where it connects to the cartridge. Don't do it too much, however, or you could flood the atomizer. If that would happen, take the atomizer off, put the cartridge side down on a paper towel and blow into it to get the excess juice out. You just don't want the juice to get to the battery.

A fresh battery makes a big difference in the vapor amount.

Ask for a new working atomizer. 901s are known for producing good vapor. You shouldn't have to mess around with dripping glycerin or anything else directly on the atomizer. I know it's not right, but about 1/3 to 1/2 of the e-cig stuff I get doesn't work right. Just expect this to happen.

 

[ceejay]

i've tried putting drops directly on the atomizer and i'm still not getting that much vapor. would a bad atomizer be the problem or are both my batteries bad?

Ceejay, try charging your batteries for atleast 8 more hours (till tomorrow). If your 901 is still not working up to par, contact your supplier.

thanks, and how long does the battery usually last after a 8 hour charge?
