Re-cap on first impressions.
Like the looks of the PB, finish on the Hindu cartos matches exactly.
Didn't particularly like the flavor of the med tobacco carto.
Draw is just a little to light for me.
I had problems with the threads as well, but my opinion is that the issue is with the cartos. After putting the carto all the way
on and off a couple of times the threads are fine. This has been the case with the first 4 cartos I have used so far.
Impressions after 3 days.
I have the super PB, I used for 5 hours right out of the box and got at least 300 puffs. Finally put it on charger only
because I thought I noticed a drop in vapor but wasn't really sure. First charge was 2.5 hrs.
The next use went for over 8 hrs @ appx 50 to 60 puffs per hour. ( just to qualify - I don't take really big puffs,
maybe 2 seconds ) It was still going strong when I went to bed.
Second charge was about 2.5 hrs but didn't use that day because I needed a diff flavor. Really need to consider blank cartos.
I took to work the next 2 days ( work 10 hr shifts but don't vape very much while working ) on 1 charge. When I put
it on to charge after 20 hrs at work it only took about 1.5 hrs to finish charging. Like I said, apparently I have the hyper dog.
The draw is still too light for me but if I cover one of the holes by the threads it is perfect. I get good flavor
and a light to medium TH. ( which is what I prefer )
Final thoughts -
- PB batty has a nice solid feel to it with a good finish
- CZ apparently has a foil backer with holes around the edge for LED light to shine through, a hole in the center
of the foil may allow light to shine through better/brighter. LED is in the center, right?
- Battery life is excellent though mine may be atypical because I don't take really long draws
- threads, whether the batty or the cartos, need to be fine tuned
- Out of the 4 cartos I have used so far; 4 seemed to be properly filled as far as amount of
juice is concerned, 2 had the inner
tubes off center with one apparently floating loose ( I can not see daylight through this one though it appears to work just fine)
and 1 had the little filter out of sequence with the o-rings as compared to the other 3
- Would very much like to see blank cartos ( hopefully at a better price )
Overall I liked the PB a lot and would love to keep a couple of these in my arsenal, especially for going out ( gotta love the bling factor )
The price however, is a little too steep ( especially if cartos can not hold up to cleaning for extended use ) for my "blue jeans & t-shirt"
lifestyle. If "minimum fuss" and "ease of use" were a REALLY big issue for me I might consider these, but the lack of flavors
would still be an issue. ( even a few more types of tobacco flavors would make a big difference )
Thanks LK for the chance to beta test the pitbull. I may still be interested in getting another PB. After I use the cartos for a while
I'm going to try cleaning them, If I can get at least one cleaning cycle out of them the price may be more bearable.
