Really stupid question - 901

[Fag-ash-lil]

Okay, this will probably seem ridiculous! I got my 901 today and was sooo excited to try it out, so I charged it and am giving it a bash, using the starter cartridges provided.

I tried the low....nothing. I'm now trying the medium, not really getting the "hit", but what I am getting is juice on my lips (by the way - urgh! - horrid taste!).

Is this normal or am I just sucking it too hard trying to get a hit? (I am taking long deep draws, much longer than I'd take with an analog).

Are you sure you charged it long enough? Often getting liquid in your mouth is a sign of insufficient power.

I suspect you're sucking too hard Lil as I did when I first got one. Try slow, soft gentel draws & remember the atomisers have a primer liquid on them when new which might not be very nice. It also might be a good idea to try topping up the cart with 1-2 drops of liquid when you get some.

PS If you were a heavy smoker you might need stronger carts I know I did.

Thank you ladies, I'm sure I'll have lots more questions as I experiment!

I find that atomizers work very poorly when new. Give it some time to break in. The throat hit will get MUCH stronger.

If you put some drops of liquid on the atomizer it will work better.
But it'll be better after 1 or 2 days anyway.

it's all down to your atomizer, that's one thing i've learned.

With a good atomizer a small gentle draw will produce great billowing clouds of vapour with no particular effort or skill. With a bad atomizer very little will happen.

Atomizers can sometimes be useless out of the box or just gradually wear out.

Just keep trying, the concept of e-smoking works amazingly well but the quality control on parts isn't great.

There's no such thing as a stupid question.
.........however, stupid answers do exist.

Don't be afraid to ask.!! That's why these forums exist in the 1st place.
Sharing of knowledge/experience/DISCOUNTS.!!!



I get the same thing from mine. Turns out its a faulty battery.
I have the SE Gold (forgot the actual model number..... RN4081?)

I switched to the other battery and don't have the problem.

And yes......a mouth full of nicotine is nasty.!!!!

Thank you folks, I've used it infrequently because of that god awful taste, but it does appear to be getting better. Plan to give it a real go this weekend whilst I'm not at work, only bought 10 cigs!
