Pitbull Beta Test Feedback Thread

[RedDeath5]

full charge this morning at 9am. vaped on it until around 3ish when it went on the charger for about an hour. back off the charger and puffing until 8:30 when the sparkly thing at the end started to blink...another half hour on the charger, then vaped almost continuously until about 5 minutes ago. now i'm off to bed with a smile. i'm lovin this thing.

My charge took about two hours and ten minutes today. Vapor could be better but it could very well be me still getting used to an auto. I do not care for the pre-filled juice although as I said it is still better than any other I have tried.

On to the good. From what I can tell I am getting better batt life out of the PB compared to a KR8 which I like. It doesn't hit as hard but that is to be expected and in fact it is more like a real cig. I'm getting to like that more and more.

I was really looking at it closely today in the light and realized I very much like the font that was used for the etching. Of course I had already looked at it but guess not quite as intently as it has been rather hectic. But that font is perfect.

I took my PB to work today (but not the charger)... Started fully charged with a (re-)filled carto and used the PB exclusively. I can vape at my desk, but it was a hectic day. No puff count- didn't even try. I wanted to see what it was like if i was just vaping as usual and not paying attention. The PB lasted about 5 ½ hours before the warmth and vapor declined and the draw got harder. Topping off the carto didn’t restore the vapor, so it was the charge dropping off. Most of a work day on one charge is pretty doggone good.

154 drags at last count. 2.5hrs charging time.

Something interesting is going on. Now, after nearly ten charges, it seems to be hitting harder. I am fairly certain it is not my perception. I am able to take shorter drags and get the same vapor. I'd be interested to see a loaded voltage test on a seasoned PB.

Still catching up. but im up to yesterday at noon. here goes.

But I'm beginning to suspect that some testers who find the draw on the PB lacking may be actually experiencing carto problems.

couldn't agree more!

I also want to thank all of you for taking the time to report back your findings to us...it really is helpful...but let me ask all of you this one question.. Would you all be happy if you had paid for the PitBull in its present form?...no changes being made to the way it looks or works?....that is something I would like to know...thanks again...

I definitely would have been happy if i purchased the PitBull. It is gorgeous. performs fabulously. and2 is very well behaved.

However, as others have pointed out, I think I am having carto issues. I don't love them. the draw is too tight, and the vapor production is not what i would expect from such a high-end model.

Hey Bill! Yes, I would be happy w/ it having purchased it. The caveat being that the CZ would actually be blood red rather than orange. It is really nice to see what a premium e-cig is like, as I am a bit of a bargain hunter when it comes to anything I buy, and often don't get to try the premium brands. Having tried the PB, I do see the difference between the run of the mill auto Batt, and a quality unit.

I do have one suggestion, take it as you like it. I am sensitive to the taste of metal, I even prefere plastic utensils. I found that some clear tape around the drawing end of the Hendu carto really solves that problem, and makes the taste off the carto unmollested by metal taste. Maybe a clear sticker could be added to the Hendu carto for those of us who would prefere not to taste metal w/ our vape.

Thanks again for this opportunity, and I hope I have been helpfull.

again.... couldn't agree more!

...words out of my mouth.

Today I got 2 charges in. I couldn't do the puff count at work...it just doesn't work, but it lasted about 3 hours. I vape all day at work. After a charge at home, which took 2 hrs and 20 minutes, I put on an atty and counted the puffs. I got 126 puffs when it needed charged again. It is on the charger now. Since I like the taste of the cartos, it is a draw for me between the cartos and the atty. I have no trouble refilling the cartos and they last as long as the charge. When I put the pitbull on the charger, I refill the carto. Works out great. I do like it. I like the draw and I get about the same vapor as I get with a regular 510 atty. I usually use a LR atty, which does give me more vapor. All in all, I am liking this a lot.

you know I just want to say that all of you have really exceeded my expectations here. The time and effort your taking for this test is really something. I just hope I can come up with something cool enough to thank you all. The idea at the top of the list is probably obvious but since I havnt even spoken to Bill about this.....I better keep quiet until I do. But I do have a couple of those nice lanyards I held back.....that's a start at least......

Well you set the standard here LK. Your hard work has been my inspiration to test this as full as possible. Without your efforts none of us would be posting or testing any of this. So it's I who wants to thank you!

Ok it was first real day of testing after clearing up carto issues. I had to deal with clients all day so it was difficult to vape while I had someone in my office. I went in fully charged at 11 am. I was only able to enjoy it here and there in between appointments until 5 PM... then it was straight vape'n until 8:30 pm. I could not count... I was too interested in getting my nic fix... So today I will report on over all experience. I loved the ease of the draw, the way it feels in my hand, and the convience of not having to pack anything other than the PB. It sustained me through the most difficult time of my day with no problems.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate.

I have to agree. Very nice font choice. Looks quite professional.

I see many are unhappy with the draw and I think it could be easier but it's not unreasonable. I've had cartos with worse. One thing I noticed is it only has 2 slots for air on the battery not like 4 the 510 has but it might have to be this tight to actuate the switch properly.

 

[Sassy Sadie]

charge #3 took 2 hours 20 min... we're up and running. I have found I have to be careful where I put my hands when I am holding the stik. If my fingers are placed over the spot where the battery and carto connect the draw is much more difficult. Otherwise it's hitting like a dream.

 

[lorikay13]

yes....absolutely right Sadie.....those holes are there for the airflow......I still do this myself.....look down and think....now what the heck is wrong with this battery!

 

[LowThudd]

Just wanted to say, the PB is quickly becoming my favorite PV. I love that it performs so well, and has such great batt life. The cartos work flawlessly for me. Thanbks again for the opportunity.

 

[LowThudd]

Wow. Got 177 draws on the last charge. Nice.

 

[basementcat]

Had to throw away my first pb carto and the only two 510 cartos I had cuz somehow my tv strawberry cheesecake liquid went bad and tastes like sour milk. On a positive note I popped on a new carto on the beast (pb) and WOW! The draw is stiffer and the vapor is rivaling my riva now! Must have just been a slightly bad carto when I started cuz this thing RIPS now! Sad to toss 3 cartos and a half bottle of juice but so so so happy with the pit today.

 

[LowThudd]

LK, just curious as to how long the $15 batts are going to be available. I can't afford to make a purchase until next week.

 

[spacekitty]

...somehow my tv strawberry cheesecake liquid went bad and tastes like sour milk.

That's so funny I can't even think of a come-back line!!

But back to the business at hand, I only got 145 puffs on charge #4, so I know now that the 2 hrs. and 10 min. was not a full charge... and that it probably didn't like being interrupted when I took it off to show my neighbor...

That being said... it got/took a full 2.5 hrs. on the next charge, and gave me 175 puffs!! At 165 the vapor got a little thin so I added just a few drops, but I never let it get to where it was completed drained this time.

I still think it's amazing that the pre-filled cartos last as long as they do!! I can only get to about 110 with a refilled one before I need to top off, and even that's pushing it...
I know I have said that I'm not wild about the taste of the menth, but it's not unpleasant, just a bit strong for my tastes... (out of the 5 that came with my kit, I still have 4 left!!) And with the combo of my 555 menth and the PB/SS carto, it's perfect for me!!!

I have been using my 510 auto (with the atty and cart) when it's charging because that's what I have that most closely resembles the length and draw of the PB... but my 510 seems stiff now in comparison. I do like the ease of changing flavors with a carto, too, but now the PB is the best of both worlds!!

It has the reliability/stability of a manual batt, the ease of changing with the carto, and the length and feel that I love!! What more could I ask for?? (except maybe a Pink SS batt to keep it company... <tee hee>)

 

[5cardstud]

I have to agree. When I want to go somewhere without carrying extra batteries, juice and other essentials the PB is the one.

 

[Ravens Rose]

spacekitty.... kinda.... the pink SS is beautiful... I would recommend grabbing one while you still have the chance to...!!! I have it & even thinking about grabbing more before they are gone!
