Whew!! Looks like I still have time to get another post in before this
thread is closed...
I completely understand, I have been out of work since Nov. 2009 & currently trying to sell my home & have to be really careful where I spend my $'s... If I am able to get some while they are still available... I will be more than happy to send you one.
First of all, I wanted to say thanks for the offer. That was very sweet of you, although things worked out even better than I had planned... since a very generous friend got one for me, and even ordered an extra box of cartos, too, which I totally wasn't expecting!!
Not only do I love the pink and black, the color and finish are perfect... not too bright, not too glossy, with an almost pearlized look to it... but I now have something to compare the PB to other than my 510's!!
Charge #11 only resulted in 130 puffs, again during just a casual all day
vape, which now has me a little bit concerned, so I counted the puffs on the 1st full charge of the Pink SS and got 120!! At least I know that my counts are not that much off... I was thinking that maybe my
juice might have had something to do with the counts dropping off on the PB, but the PinkSS had a 1/2 used carto that I topped off with my 555 menth...
When I first got the Pink batt, other than jumping up and down and showing it off to the ladies in the building mgrs. office and a few other people by the mail boxes, the first thing I did was to pop a new carto into both of them, after making sure that the new one was fully charged.
I spent the rest of that afternoon, and most of the next morning, just switching back and forth between the two... no puff counts!!
At first, the PB seemed to look thinner than the other one, but I know that is just an optical illusion... I still love the length and weight of the PB, but I would like to see the P+B with a black atty and cart!!
The PinkSS seems to have a lighter draw buts produces less vapor than the PB and seems to be a bit cooler (but its hard to tell with the menthol) which, btw, I am beginning to like more and more... especially after not using it for a while.
I also think that the 2 little pinhole lights at the tip seem brighter on the PinkSS, but that could just be the clear CZ.
Note: One of the cartos leaked immediately and I removed the rings and filter, the other one only leaked a little bit... both were from the same batch
[#D242MG]. Also, the end cap popped right out without having to really pry it like I did with the other ones...
The PB is now fully charged, with another new carto on, and I am going to do one last, very careful, puff count... Just for my own peace of mind!!!
I just want to thank everyone at SmokeStik, especially LK (and Bill, too... ha!!), for making this all possible... and for adding a little "Bling" to this newbie's small collection of PV's!! I never would have had the opportunity to try such a wonderful line of products without your help, and now I'm hooked... LOL!!
