Now the Chuck is in Hand, but....

[panderson01]

Just got Chuck today, Yipee! I really don't know if it's Yypee, Yippee or Yipee?

A little background first:

I have been vaping for a bit over a year, started off with some generic 3.7v model, moved to a PS pen style on 3.7v.

Early summer, made my own flashlight mods, running at 6+v. Too inconstant mechanically, and too harsh on the throat, no, not throat hit (TH), burning and burnt juice.

In July I moved to a Prodigy @ 5v with an 801, with an 801 Passthrough backup, lovin' it! Other than my Prodigy has been in the shop twice, still waiting for it to come back, so have been using the passthrough until 510 Chuck arrived today.

First off, I fired it up at 3.7v with some VG Peach juice that I fell In Like with, ok, maybe it was love, enough that I just ordered & received 300ml of 24mg. Good TH on the Prodigy and passthrough, but nothing on the Chuck at 3.7v. OK, popped in a couple of 3v Tenergies that I use for the Prodigy, better vapor and TH, but after a few hits, staring that burning taste again from back in the DIY mod days.

I started letting the Chuck button go a little sooner to keep it cooler and it was better on the burn, but still not what I was looking for as far as flavor and TH.

I thought maybe the atomizer is finally broken in, so I tried the 3.7v option again about 5 hours later with the VG Peach and although it was a little better than before, still wasn't getting the Th, that I was looking for. In between time, I switched to another atty (actual Joye 510 btw).

I then pulled out some EcoPure Rich at 25mg @ 3.7v and the TH was better than the PS passthrough?????????

By now, you can guess I'm pretty confused, not to mention, I'm a few beers into the evening and don't know what to think.

I did order a 510 - 801 adapter, but is on B/O from Jeff, so I couldn't do an 801-801 comparison.

Maybe when all said and done, the equation is something like this:

Prodigy + 5v + 801 + VG Peach juice =
Chuck + 3.7v + 510 + VG Peach juice =
Chuck + 6v + 510 + VG Peach juice =

Chuck + 3.7v + 510 + EcoPure juice =
Chuck + 6v + 510 + EcoPure juice =
Prodigy + 5v + 801 + EcoPure juice =

Maybe it all comes down to the juice+voltage+atomizer= , if so, it would be nice if someone could list it. Ok , I know that the taste variations, when it comes to personal preferences come into play, can get subjective.

I was so hoping to come up with some sort of standard vaping equipment, that would keep me from having to have several different variations of voltages, juices and equipment to maintain satisfaction.

Maybe the solution, is to come up with what works and get multiples of that? In this particular case, maybe it's getting all 5v options with the same atomizers?

Sheezzz, is anybody still reading this?????????????????

How about what 3.7v atty and juice works best for TH for the Chuck?

Ok, I'm done, I'm almost done with my beer!

What next?

I only own a Little chuck, but I do own two 6v devices. In my experience, the sweeter juices like ry4 are best at 6v, with a 510. An 801 is great at 6v with the sweeter juices, and I am less likely to get that burnt taste, but they leak too much. I don't like an overly sweet vape, so if it is naturally a sweet juice I'll use 6v with it and the sweetness is cut out enough for me.

With the less sweet juice's, like a good tobacco flavor I like a 510 at 3.7v on my little chuck. My other devices will work at 3.7v, but they really don't compare to my little Chuck. 801's to me are no good for 3.7v.

I have tried a 901, and really didn't like it at any v. But I should be getting some cartomizers today, so I am looking forward to trying them out for in the car.

I haven't gotten my Chuck yet. But I've got an SB and like it better at 3.7 than 6. I get great flavor and vapor at 3.7 and don't have to worry about burning out my attys.

Thanks for the info on the Chuck and handling different juices at different v's. I've yet to test mine out. Waiting patiently.

Could thinning the peach juice with distilled water or thickening it with VG help at the different v's? Just a thought.

My Peach is already VG, so my current plan of action is to use the peach on my Prodigy at 5v and the EcoPure Rich on the 3.7v Chuck. I will work on finding a couple of good juices that get the TH I need for the 3.7v Chuck.

I like the idea of not worrying about battery swaps for a day or 2 plus, less concern about atty life.
