Yes, it goes through the juice faster...sort of..

Each puff uses more juice...But I found that I take fewer puffs when using LR...Cuz each puff is better.
So it kinda evens out.


Yes, it changes the taste. The effect will vary from juice to juice and is totally subjective to opinion.
Generally speaking, it weakens the flavor, and you will get the burned metal taste much faster with an LR.

Rule number 1 (2 and 3 and 4) for an LR atty....
KEEP IT WET!!!

They're designed to simulate 5v vaping, and I'm sure you were referring to a 5v usb passthrough, so yes :) Er, so that's a yes on the taste as well. Some flavors are better on an LR and some are better on a regular atty.

I found myself burning more juice on the LR, since it runs hotter. I also found myself dripping more drops than with a regular atty.

Little word of caution (prolly no one's as silly as me though), bad plan to use an LR atty on a passthrough with a <450mAh battery. I tried this, thinking that since the batt is charging it'd be fine...and the batt got stuck on the "on" position killing the atty and the PT.

I have found that LR atties use WAY more juice.

I have an LR 901, and I have to put 7 or 8 drops on it just to prime it and get rid of the brunt taste. Two puffs later, it needs three or four more. Five or six puffs after that, it needs three or four more, etc.

I have also found that it really over-cooks some flavors. A lot of flavors, to me... Anything subtle or sweet is not really for an LR. It will bake the flavor right out.

It's true that they produce a ton of vapor, but since I don't really care for 5v, it's not worth the maintenance or the extra juice to me. There is only one thing I use my LR for.

On days when nothing I'm vaping is doing it, I pull out my LR, put Cinnamon Red Hot juice in it, and vape that for about 15 minutes.

That's it, though. I couldn't see myself vaping it all day, and the cost in juice would be killer from my experience.
