OK Lets me see if I understand how a e-cig works...

[SheerLuckHolmes]

The battery provides power to a heating coil that activates when I suck through the mouthpiece. The heating coil heats the air I am sucking through the e-cig. The warm/hot air passes through the cart which holds the e-juice. The warm/hot air passing through the e-juice vaporizes the juice and the vapor comes into my mouth which I choose to inhale or not. Have I got this right?

So the warmer/hotter the air passing through the juice the more vapor... right? And this would be why the JS, SD, e-pipe produce more vapor because the larger power available provides more heat = more vapor.

Also dripping onto the coil puts the juice closer (actually on) the coil/heat thereby being closer to the heat it heats more and vaporizes more completely.

If this is correct then there has to be a balancing act between all of this to get the most vapor from what ever PV is being used. Is this it???

I have been vapping with a 901 for two days and am very dissappointed with the consistency of vapor volume. So I guess I need to experiment more, drip more or get a bigger power source.

Any comments, suggestions???

I feel like cheif Brody, "We're gonna need a bigger boat!"

I am no expert! But that sounds wrong to me. The coil wicks juice down from the cart and the vaporizer (the heating element under the coil) heats up (To a boiling point) the wicked juice thus vaporizing iI. You suck the vapor back through the cart and it comes out of the little hole on the end into your mouth.
That is why your wick must stay wet, so there is no dry burn.
The vapor is varies because your cart is too dry, your wick isn't makeing proper contact or your battery is needs a charge.. You can enhance the vapor by adding a few drops of Gylcerin (USP or food grade) to the juice or cart.
As for the mods like the screw driver, G.G. and prodigy (there are more) They use a better battery, that makes a difference in power.
