Old style 901 attys?

[Blaze]

My pleasure



Hmmm.. I must be doing something wrong with my 5vs then. I find that my plain old PV's or my 3.7's give me just as much (if not more) satisfaction as the 5's. I think it's the juice.

It's my (hmm.. can't think of the word today.. hunch? idea?) that it's just as much the 'juice' as it is the equipment. I can put the same juice in different PV's with various attys or cartos and receive better results on the lower voltage units as the higher (depending on what I put in them).

In my regular PV's I use my homemade Vanilla concoction. In my 3.7's I use a friend's homemade recipe.

Have you tried fiddling with the ingredients in your juice? To adjust the TH and viscosity and flavor?

My closest 'match' to a real cigarette feeling; is a homemade juice I've made with homemade vanilla. The vanilla is made with beans from Madagascar and vodka. Then it's strained several times (have not killed an atty yet *knockonwood*) and then mixed with some other drops, a bit of menthol, PG nic, and a fair amount of VG. It takes a lot more of the vanilla (as to drop ratio) so I need to either harvest my own beans or start importing some in, because my vanilla bottle is getting low and it takes about six months to 'mature' the vanilla extract. I could try the store bought version, but then it would be lacking the vodka, and may loose some of the great homemade taste. Hmmm.

Anyway.. just a thought

I have no issues with taste or vapor out of 3.7v (usually), it's the "punch" I can't get with 3.7v short of vaping 48mg nicquid.

However, I have found my TV AC works better at 3.7v, but that's another reason I'd like to try a HV atty

Sorry, trying to get this posted before the internet kicks out so if this was mentioned, sorry for repeating it.

I use denture cleaner to clean mine, when I do clean them,lol I use 1-2 tablets, depending on how many attys I'm cleaning. I put in just enough water to cover them, let them soak over night and rinse in the morning. Blow them out and let them lay on a towel to dry.

stupid internet!
When you clean them, do you just do it because you think they *need* to be cleaned? Or is it when they start to taste bad? I have been blowing mine out a couple times a week and then continue using them, and then when they randomly just start tasting bad is when I attempt to clean them out. Seems the nasty taste never goes away once it comes no matter what I try. Although, I haven't tried denture tablets, that would require me purchasing something. lol! My mom uses Crest Pro Health toothpaste... but I was afraid to try that one, I don't want them to taste like mint either! Yuck! I hate mint! lol

When they first start to taste bad I try something else first. I take either some unflavored nic or some PG/VG and put a few drops on the atty and just hit it without inhaling. I usually do that a couple of times. If that doesn't work then I will try one of my stronger flavored juices that I wouldn't mind having a dedicated atty for. If that doesn't work, I break out the Polident,lol I am a avid fan of not cleaning except as a last resort, but that is just my opinion. Over the last year I've lost maybe 10 attys total between my 510 and my 901 since I quit cleaning them. In the beginning I cleaned them all the time like I was told and I was going thru attys like crazy. Quit cleaning them and have far fewer attys go south on me.

Also, if you have a manual battery you could try 1-2 second dry burns a couple of times to see if it burns of the nasty taste. That has worked for me.

Blaze: what about adding some PGA? I think that may be some of the kick you are missing.

Jules: is there a special kind of polident? Or will generic work?

I have to agree with Jules on the cleaning. I try not to clean mine if I can avoid it. If I do, I try a little hot water and lemon juice first. Then let them air dry. I did get the Crest (it's the mouthwash, not toothpaste) and tried the whole procedure, when I had a bunch of 801 attys that turned. It cleaned about 1/3, choked about 1/3, and did nothing to the last 1/3.

The BEST thing I find to do; is watch the attys, try and not let them get too dry, and be wary of the thick dark juices (esp all VG)... those are real atty killers.

I just use the Equate (Wally world generic ) to clean mine.

:cough: :choke: :hack:


OK>>> so I just inhaled my SECOND 901 end piece. Anyone else have this problem? With those teeny tiny little pieces on the end?? They keep coming off and now I've actually ingested one! The last one I couldn't hack back up [/cat noises]

Chewed ones??? That's ok, I'll pass

 

[DemonCowboy]

no, my TIPS are chewed on - the little annoying pieces are fine...lmao

 

[leannebug]

hehehe... s'ok, one holey 901 won't kill me Just wondering if that's a constant thing I should worry about?

 

[DemonCowboy]

i dunno i just chew mine out right away - no annoying piece=no worries

Yup, it eventually happens to all cartridges, even 510s and cartos.

Did you swallow it or inhale it?

I didn't think of that, and I've even got a 30ml bottle of Everclear just for that LOL

On a side note, I did try one of my old L88B "Blu" attys (I know, I know....but I was bored.....and DESPERATE) and it does surprisingly very well at 6v, just have to drip every 2 hits

Yeppers, that's what they say! I use my blu (also sold under Volcano and as Joye 306) with my Ego batt. Very nice combo too, but as you say... it's drip, drip, drip
