My review:
Puffcount - This isn't going to happen from me. I've been getting home from work late. I bring my daily PV to work w/ spare atties and
juice because I don't want to go with something I'm not comfortable with. I will try to get a puff count when I have a day off and time to relax. College and homework isn't helping with this either, but I will try to get a count.
Cartomizer performance - The first thing I did was remove the rings and mouth piece. I prefer a drip tip with everything I use. I also like to get more airflow and vapor. They perform pretty well. Smooth and nice vapor. Almost cigarette like. I have tried two cartomizers so far. Both of them never emptied, but just wanted a comparison. I ordered Medium Nic. (12mg). They have absolutely no flavor to me. I even let my girlfriend try it and she says the same. She stated that it had a hint of sweetness. I taste nothing at all. So I refilled one with my own
juice. The first 3-5 puffs had some flavor and then absolutely nothing. I'm assuming these cartos kill flavor, at least to me. That's the only real negative thing I found.
The PB itself - Nice looking. Good weight. Nice feel in hand, but a little long for my liking. It's the longest battery that I have. Compared to the Riva and 510. I peeled away the black sticker on my cartos so the PB looks really sharp now. I should have ordered the silver ones to start with...this was my fault. I can not see the LED light turning on when I take a draw. Even in a dark room. I have no idea how others are seeing the LED light on. The cutoff is sufficient enough. I have to take a 3-5 second draw, stop and then another 3-5 second draw. For an automatic, the cutoff is good compared to a manual 510 and 901. I would like to see a 10-15 second cutoff or none at all.
Likes - It's pretty sharp looking. Performs well for its' size. Not sound activated. No fuss and works great out of the box. Good weight and feel.
Dislikes - Cartos have no flavor (Are they suppose to be tobacco or menthol?). A little long, but this is a personal preference. Can't see the LED activate when taking a draw.
Changes I would like - The LED...I need to be able to see it activate. I would also like to see 4 air holes around the threading where the carto attaches. 2 holes are nice, but I think 4 would be better. I know the length is out of the question...this isn't really a problem, but something I would have to get use to. 510 threadings would be awesome...this is wishful thinking, lol. I would like see a closed a battery. I think it should be a given that closed
batteries are the way to go. I do drip with the carto unattached to the battery. Let it sit for a bit to make sure that no liquid comes out.
I haven't drained the battery yet after the first charge. Haven't really had the time to vape with it all day yet. Just been using it here and there after work. I'm going to have to drain the battery all the way before I can do a time on charging. I'm also going to attach a fresh carto with a fresh charge and do a puff count.
BTW - 510/901 drip tips fit the cartos, but some might be to loose. My nhaler drip tips fit perfectly, but they are tight on my 510 atomizers. So if you have a 510/901 tip that seems tight...give it a try on these cartos.
