PT vape harsh

[frankie1]

It seems like everything I vape on my PT is harsh! I have it plugged into one of those $1.95 dual power to usb supply. It says 5 volts but it seems really harsh. Maybe I am just not supposed to do 5 volts 8-o

Is there a way to tame that bad boy a bit?

I'm sorta with you here. I haven't used mine in ages cuz of this. I even pulled it out today to try it and it was awful no matter what I did. I LOVED it at first and it wasn't doing this, but now it does constantly. I have a full cart, I double check everything, and I can't get a good flavorful vape for nothing. I sorta have put this away because of this. Thought I'd try again today, and same stuff. Any ideas from anyone???

^ I am soooo glad I am not the only one. I love the concept, just it seems a bit powerful for me. At first I liked it but I had it plugged into an old laptop cooling thing with USB ports. Maybe it wasn't getting as much power. Then I tried a cheap thing I got from Walmart but I frequently got juice in my mouth. I wonder if there is one that would get it to around 4 but not all the way to 5?

Does that even make any sense????

I'm using a power pack with it and what I don't understand why is at first it was so good and I could taste the flavor and I love it, but ever since, it's just plain harsh and no flavor. I've tried everything I can. I have made sure it's fresh cart and juice is full and I've tried the 901 and 510 and just harsh taste and not good. What could we be doing wrong???

Have you tried dripping to take the cart and filler out of the equation?

Have you tried dripping to take the cart and filler out of the equation?

Yeah Never. Dripping is even worse. It is just harsh and NOT good. I am confused! Using the cart seems to help a little, but it is still harsh. I can put the same cart on a 901 battery and it is fine. I have tried reducing the nic by cutting it with vg and with pg. Same thing, just harsh vape. I wonder if it could be getting too hot? I have tried just pushing the button for a sec and that doesn't make much difference, just less vape.

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Yes, I don't like dripping either and yes I have tried it.

 

[frankie1]

Maybe when Steve or Casey come online tomorrow, they will have some advice for us?

 

[LuckySevens4U]

Ya, I just didn't want to say anything for the longest while, but it's good, not really good, but good to know that I'm not the only one with this. lol

I have been reading the Prodigy at 3.7 thread. Seems to be a harsher vape at the 5 volts. Maybe we just need to find something to tame it! LOL

 

[LuckySevens4U]

No I'm thinking that it's just the 901's and 510s don't like the higher voltage as much and we should be using 801s on the PT, but I don't want to get into more atty stocking and buying. So hopefully, I'll just like my Protege and use them on that and I won't need to use a PT anyhow. I might just sell it. I prefer the 3.7 v anyhow.

 

[Casey@PS]

How much liquid are you using, and how long are your drags?

 

[frankie1]

3 - 4 drops and probably 2-3 seconds. I am using a 901 atty. Do you think switching to an 801 might help?

 

[Casey@PS]

How often are you refilling? Here's what I recommend:

1. Let the unit rest when the atomizer tube gets any warmer than luke warm to the touch.
2. When breaking in a brand new atomizer, drip 5-6 drops on the atomizer, then 4-5 after every 4 puffs or so. As soon as you notice a change in flavor, redrip.
3. Blow out atomizers regularly, and allow them to drain over night.
4. Be sure not to screw the atomizers onto the unit too tightly, as this will push in the contact points at the bottom of the atomizer, and cause it to short out your entire unit.
5. Do not depress the button for more then 2-3 seconds on the 901 or 510 atomizer, or 4-5 seconds on the 801. You can continue to draw in after releasing the button, but holding it down for any longer than that could result in popping the atomizer.

also as i always suggest for 5v, mouth inhale, do not direct lung inhale. i never get a bad harsh taste on 5v with mouth inhales, but i ALWAYS do with throat inhales.

Guys
almost probably the atty.
Some atty's do not perform on higher voltages.

What atty's are you using?

Have you tried the BE112?

 

[markarich159]

Try switching to a new atomizer as well. Sometimes, after long term use, my atty's will get a burnt harsh taste at higher voltages(that just won't go away no matter what you do). I switch those back to lower volt vaping and put a new atty on the PS PT/Prodigy. That always does the trick for me.

 

[quovadis]

ANOTHER thing.
sometimes your tip is loose or allows air to pass on the sides through to your mouth.

As a result the user get's less vapor.
As a result of less vapor the user presses more than 2-3 seconds on the button.
As a result of this the atty get's too hot and you will get a harsh taste.

Take small mouth puffs as described by Fliznanu...
Rotate your atty when too warm.

Warm is ok ...since they get warm instantly...but don't let it get hot.

 

[doots]

must be your atty.

the 1.95 usb has nothing to do with harshness.
Ive been using the same device and do not have your sympton at all.
Use other 6v devices and do not have that symptom.

hope you solve your delima..

 

[frankie1]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will try them out. I love the PT but that harshness is more than I can stand! LOL
