I hope it's OK that I haven't read most of the first 2400(!) postings in this thread. My order of a couple boxes of blank Volt cartos came in a couple days ago, so I'm on day 2 of testing one out on my 5V box mod. I've been using Premium 808 cartos for some time, but just lately have experienced more first or second-day "burn-itis" than before. (Maybe a bad shipment, or maybe some subtle change in some factor in my own use? Whatever...) My interest in the Volt cartos was piqued by SteelJan's mention in her video that they don't seem to burn.
So far, so good. I am noticing that the draw is fairly tight. Actually, I prefer that and for that reason use 808 cartos with an adapter to 510 power. I find that the adapter tightens the draw to a more cigarette-like feel, as compared to the airiness of a straight 808 setup. I am a little concerned, though, that the tightness of the draw seems to have increased a bit from the first day to the second, and hope that clogging is not going to be an issue.
All of this makes me at least a bit curious about the whole Volt auto-battery thing, maybe as something to recommend to my still-smoking friends. Do those of you who use it find the draw more comparable to a regular cigarette than an 808 is?
