problems with my M401 =(

[matt-attack]

Hey so Im going on my second week using the Dragon M401, and its been great…for the first 5 days… after running out of the original prefilled carts, ive noticed that the throat hit and amount of vapor have noticeably decreased. I purchased 10ml of 0mg menthol and 10ml of low 6mg camel flavor. I looked up on you tube and learned how to refill my carts. that’s not the problem. Ive noticed that the carts don’t last as long and the filling wears down a little, but that’s no biggie. Now I usually mix my juices and ive found out that I do get a mild throat hit and sometimes descent vape if I take long 6 sec drags. (but that cant be good for the atty!) As a result ive found myself back to analogs. So I guess my question is-

1). How can I increase my throat hit and vapor??? (ive read that the amount of nic doesn’t exactly increase throat hit and Im trying to keep my nic levels down to a minimum.) Is there a different atty I can buy (maybe a 2 hole as compared to my 4 hole). Ive also read that using VG juice increases vapor because its thicker. Should I pick up a 30ml of low or 0 mg VG and mix it with my PG to dilute it? Or did I simply make the mistake of NOT buying the JOYE 510 =(. I do eventually plan on getting a 510 down the road but I really do like my M401. Even picked up a 402 and 403 batt for fun! Also, 20 new carts are on the way- does having fresh carts make it better (Heaven-Gifts btw takes forreeevverrr.. I ordered them 10 days ago and still waiting.) OOOORRRR does the performance on my dragon depend on the cart filling? Ive read the post about tea bags. Will that help at all???? I know this is a lot, but if anyone can relate please lemme know what I can do to help this little problem. Thanks in advance guys! -Matt

p.s.- is there a PCC I can buy for my 401?

pps- if i get a manual battery would that be compatable with my automatic starter kit i got?

Just keep buying your PG eliquids and get a bottle of VG and add that. Vg is a little easier to buy locally. 50% Eliquid maybe 30% or 25% VG and either flavoring or distilled water for the rest. You might like 50/50 VG/PG, but I find it far to thick for my liking.

I use a atomizer for a full day then at night I throw it into some everclear for 24hrs. Next day I use a different atomizer. I do this for 10 days without reusing the same atomizer. I like to give plenty of time for my atomizers to dry, even though 10 days is overkill.

I use a plastic pill box to keep track of the atomizers. They work consistently for me this way.

I also only use a fresh stuffed cart for one day. I just toss the stuffing at the end of the day and throw the blank cart into my to be washed box. I wash them monthly.
I use Fluval and I prefer it over Tea bags. Just my preference though. Sometimes I use the straw mod, but find it less useful when I only use new stuffing for a day.

If you buy a manual 401 battery, it will work with your 401 atty.

Not sure about the PCC question. I would get a battery mod as it will save you money in the long run over stock batteries.
