Overindulgent??

[Zofryer]

ADDENDUM: I neglected to mention the importance of manual switch placement (and "feel") in your selection of a big boy.

For *me* being able to use my thumb on a large button (i.e., the Prodigy) is perfect. Some of the others seem to require using your pinky finger (or perhaps your middle finger if holding the device in a different way) when pressing the button at the end of the device.

I am now going to find out more about that Mahmba. Automatic juice injection is the next major advancement needed for the e-cig (other than perhaps a more reliable, longer-lasting atty).

Honestly? I thought the pinky button would bug the crap out of me, but it feels very natural now. I have my own little way of doing it. It's a non-thought thing now when I'm using the AdapteveR.

And autojuice I've developed an opinion on after using a dual 801 mod: It's overkill, at least for me. My unit of time is one uninterrupted movie. I can fill two 801 carts for roughly 2ml of juice, and make it through an entire movie without having to screw with anything. That's why my current test design has four 510 atty's with a 10440 for each. About 2ml of liquid total in the carts. When I nail the custom mouthpiece, I think I might have an industry first design that's literally one piece of metal about the size of a zippo lighter.

I like the way you think. "The Juice Harp" hehehe...very nice.

something that needs clearing up here..

a new 510 (or 901) with a freshly charged battery will easily produce enough vapour for any vaguely sane e smoker.. easily.. plenty... more than enough..

the problem is a simple one.. for the heavy user the batteries will die at an alarming rate.. a pocket full will need to be carried or some other means of powering the atomizer found when away from the mains power for any length of time..

light users.. well they will not have the same problems.. horses for courses...

trog

ps... as for that "pinky" button.. pretty much everyone that actually gets to use one as opposed to those who never have used one.. likes it.. its one of those strange things that dosnt seem ideal but in reality works perfectly...

it isnt pressed with the "pinky" by the way.. its rested on the "pinky or the finger above the "pinky" or even the palm of the hand.. and the actual pressing is done with a hand squeeze or the thumb and forefinger.. no having to find where the button is and it works in the dark and just comes naturally after a very short while..

ask anyone that has used one.. not just those who think they would not like it... he he he

just to add a sum up.. heavy users or those who spend a long time away from the mains should think about a big battery device.. the key is big battery the type dosnt matter..

light user or those who dont mind USB leads dont need the bigger battery device..

having said that the power station that USB leads connect you up to could be said to be the biggest battery of all.. it just aint very portable.. he he

I'm going to bite on a Mod as soon as I've picked out my atomizer of choice. I figured it out about the time I looked at the $$$ for my last RuyanDirect order and said - oh, I should probably buy a mod next time instead. The way I see it, I have the money, so I get to reward myself with as many toys as strikes my fancy if it means not smoking analogs.

There is a sort of elitism that abounds on this board that says anyone who doesn't choose to buy a mod is somehow stupid for not doing so. I have a Janty Stick, but I still prefer e cigs that look somewhat like the real thing. I hardly ever use the Stick for that reason. There are all sorts of people who buy e cigs for many different reasons. As long as you like what you use, WTH would you switch just because someone tells you that you are not getting the full experience. Mods are great for those who love them. For the rest of us, we prefer duplicating the smoking experience in the ways we choose.

For me, the full experience includes not changing batteries every hour. Also, it's not important to me to pretend I'm still smoking a cigarette, so I don't care a whole bunch what it looks like. I don't detect elitism, just a difference of opinion. As long as I'm happy, and you are happy, different smokes for different folks.

Just be warned, at sane person voltage (3.7v) the mods will be exactly like the little novelty batteries you get with sane person e-cigs. The world changes significantly above 5V. The 801 comes alive for one. I know a lot of people that preferred the 510 at 3.7 and are 801 converts at 5+ volts.

 

[trog100]

there is no elitism at work here.. just that the lighter the user the more suitable normal e cigs are.. the heavier the user the less suitable they are.. as a general rule..

if someone who fits the heavy user category insists that whatever they are using must resemble a real cigarette they will just have to live with the problems this will cause.. its their choice..

When you have one of the biggest modders saying (right before you posted too):

"something needs clearing up....

a new 510 (or 901) with a freshly charged battery will easily produce enough vapour for any vaguely sane e smoker.. easily.. plenty... more than enough.."

... it's hard to justify a charge of elitism. Plus the 'vaguely sane' comment is putting modders down, not 'regular vapers'.

I said it earlier and I'll say it again. Being overindulgent is a concern of mime, however, I am falling into the category of someone who would love not to have to change the battery every hour... I guess I just answered my own question... I want something that will give a good 3-4 hours of vaping pleasure (at least at home...), and when I replace the battery on it, it starts the 3-4 hour cycle over again... Take it for what its worth, but I am starting the see a need for a Long Battery Life Personal Vaporizer (LBLPV... ok so I like trying to start new things haha!) for the reasons mentioned above. So, My good people of the ECF, I will pose a better question... What would be a good LBLPV that would NOT make me feel Overindulgent? I knew about the higher voltage thing, but was sorta unclear... 5v or higher makes me understand that, that would most likely make my vaping (For ME now..) Overindulgent.

your last question kind of makes me think you have an unanswerable problem..

its now a wee bit of a silly question.. not all big battery devices are 5 volts.. they just have batteries that do what you require plus a little bit longer.. perhaps five or six hours.. would that make you feel over indulgence having to change your battery a little bit less than every three to four hours....

a janty stick might suit you.. a battery that lasts a bit longer than a normal e cig but not too much longer.. he he

Yay, glad you stopped by! OK, Ill cut right to the chase here... I want a longer battery outta my PV plain and simple!

 

[SheerLuckHolmes]

Over... Comfort zone... All the 'feelings' are just your reaction to how you believe others are going to preceive you. Lighten up!

The only opinion that is of any importance it your own! But if you want to develop you r level of comfort, join a local vaper's club and enjoy the company, the vapping, the exchange of knoweldge, and the acceptance of vapping in a group.

Used it all day. 120 bucks with batteries.

AdapteveR Home of the ORIGINAL USA built PV : Home

There are other 510 battery mods that are 3.7 volt that will vape the exact same way. I can't speak to them because I only own the AdapteveR. I dig the thing. Look into the Screwdriver. I *think* the guy that makes that one is called "Trog". Could be mistaken. Also, the Protege is coming soon from Puresmoker, there's the GG Nano, and a bunch more. They will all vape identical, so pick based on value and looks and features. I'd still suggest getting something that allows you to go high volt later. I know the AdapteveR will have a high volt sleeve option soon. Hope this helps.

Not putting modders down, just stating that when people say they want something resembling a real cig, then always someone pipes in with "no, you don't," and proceeds to put down whatever e cig the person has. I see that with SE and NJoy and others. While I agree that many people who bought those models paid way too much, the fact is that they are not bad e cigs. Not everyone is comfortable with the look of the mods. I am not. The mods are not for everyone, just as the cig types are not for everyone. Fact is, if you like the realistic looking ones, as I do, then one just buys more batteries to make up for that problem. That's what I do.

Ok, I'll play devil's advocate and say that a lot of mods look like friggin crack pipes or pipe bombs. I'm considering making my own mod that looks like a stick of dynamite and has "al queda" stenciled on the side.

Price seems to be a factor in this. One of the reasons I like the prodigy so much is, the worst I've been asked is why I'm sucking on an electric screwdriver.

Maybe price is a factor for some people.
But it isn't a factor for me at all.

I can afford to buy all the mods out there dozens of times over and not blink.
I just don't want anything that looks like any of those things.
I don't know why, I just don't.

But I will forego all pretense of caring if I can get a mod like the Mahmba that delivers a straight feed of juice to the atomizer and I never have to worry about wicking or cartridges or refilling ever again.

I'd buy something like that if it weighed five pounds and looked like a pineapple upside down cake.
But I'd still have my 510 for when I leave the house.

Mmmm, pineapple upside down cake!! I can honestly say that I would NOT buy a device that looked like that even if it could read my mine on which Liquid I wanted next . Anywho, I will be getting some sort of LBLPV, just still trying to decide which one...
