Thank you, Hellen!
Welcome!
I don't use carts at all; I just drip. [NOTE: I perform the activity of dripping; I am not a drip! ß sounds like Nixon's I am not a crook!]
lol... well, I love carts with the penstyle! Since I found AquaClear foam especially. Way better cart filling (I use it in the 510 as well). Wicks great. This may just be what you are missing with the penstyle attys! Good cart filler which makes for a nice long vape.
You didn't "miss" anything. I just have two follow-up questions:
1. Since I don't use carts, are any of the distinguishing attributes of the 302 relevant for me? For example, is it more consistent and reliable than the 801? Similar vapor, flavor, and throat hit?
more consistent and (so far) more reliable than the 801. It is all in the flat low bridge I think. Seems to carry down the liquid under the pot better.
2. Have you ever used the M201? If so how would you compare it to the 302? I've tried two M201 attys recently: during the first three days, each performed marvelously and then died. [Fortunately the M201 battery works equally well with an 801-compatible.] But I enjoyed that total of six days so much, I haven't necessarily given up on it ... unless the 302 is my dream come true.
I haven't tried the M201. No need
since I've found my best atty!!
If you kill off the 302, I'd say it is time to get going back with carts Don!! The biggest killer of attys is going dry. The only attys I've ever killed quick are ones I tried to drip with. I gave up and went back to carts (but still add a drop or two to the bridge on occasion with the cart on).
I've had one 302 die after more than 4 weeks of hard use. The rest are still cookin' or waiting for a nice long soak to clean up in PGA.
Thanks again, H!
