Ok, now that I've run the batt down, I'll need to be offline while it charges, so here I go for now...
First of all was the look and feel. The black carto looked clumsy and awkward on it, almost too thick, but once I peeled off the label to reveal the metal finish (hendu?) beneath, it all fell into place... I sat there just turning it over in my hands for about 10 min., watching how the light played with the subtle differences in the colors and finishes of the two metals and the etching... how at times they seemed to switch places between the dark and light, and at others they blended into one... I'm into B+W photography, and it made me want to drag out my old Pentax, take it out in the sunlight and do a photo shoot!!
But enough of that... I also like the weight and feel of it. The length is almost exactly that of my Joye 510 as a 3-piece, and fits nicely into my little single metal carrying case. I was a bit disappointed that the CZ was orange instead of red, but what the hey!! Also the fact that it is flush with the tip and I cannot see when it is lit... so I set up a mirror on my coffee table to be able to tell the times on the cut-off.
I was/am a Menthol smoker and the 12mg was fine for me because that's what I normally vape, but I can see where other people might like to have different strengths available... For the first month of vaping I used the Basic VG juice from Cignot, and for the last couple of weeks I have been using a 50/50 blend from The Vapor Room. My daily vape is their 555 Menthol, although I mix a little drop of Lorann's Anise flavor in with 3ml sometimes (yummy!!), but since it has oil in it, I won't use it in your cartos... although I haven't lost one yet!! LOL!!
I had been using nothing but cartos (Boge) with my 510 all week in anticipation of this test... The first carto I tried had a little spot where the threads kind of caught, but easily turned past that. I had to draw on it a lot harder than I was used to and got a lot less vapor for the effort. It seems closer to the hit I get on my 510 with an atty and cart on it rather than a carto... The menthol was a little too strong for my liking, almost like a cough drop (it even cleared up my sinuses - ha!!) and at first I had a hard time swallowing. But that might have just been a reaction to the PG, since I don't know what you use in them...
I normally only take about a 3 sec. puff on my cigs, but I thought I would put this puppy through the ringer for the first round!! The cut-off time was only about 4-5 sec. at first, so after about 80 puffs, I swithched to another carto just to see if there was any difference. This one screwed right in and the cut-off time went up to 5-6 sec., but I don't think I ever got a whole 7, although I was counting the start from the time I took the primer puff, too. The time and vapor started really slowing down at about 140 puffs, and the batt finally died at 165, but I was maxing it out each time...
Also, I had let it sit overnight for a few hours while I caught some sleep and it seemed to put out a little more vapor in the morning (or was it just the daylight??).
I am going to let it charge while I start dinner, and just vape like I normally would for the next round... I can't wait to empty one of those cartos and try it with my own juice!!
(It looks like I got a little carried away here, so I'll shut up now...)
I need some kind of tapper like some of you have to keep a good count. Anyone want to steer me in the right direction? I have an iphone if that helps!
