sizing up successful use of an e-cig

[acorn54]

well monday will be two weeks since i got my e cigarette kit and and stopped using analogs. here are my observations
1-key seems to be how you inhale an e-cigarette. not like an analog with short drags. rather one has to inhale deeply on an e-cigarette to mimick the throat hit. (i have an 808)
2- short life of battery, (i only get 1-1/2 hours out of mine) makes buying two battery chargers and (3)- 808 batteries essential if you chain vape,(i chain smoked cigarettes). the battery takes 4-1/2 hours on mine to recharge.
3- constant monitoring of ejuice supply and cartomizers is wise so you don't run out and go back to analogs
4-if you use a highvoltage pass thru (five volts) get very high quality blank cartomizers as i was getting poor results from cheaper cartomizers, fibers burned no matter how much ejuice i put in them.
5-suspect battery chargers are poorly made and prone to short life span ( i got one that didn't work on arrival), so it is wise to have extras on hand, this goes for extra 808 batteries also.

You might want to check on a V4L XL battery for longer time between recharges.

Maybe check your charger's output. I recharge in much less than 4-1/2 hours on my 200 mA charger.

Life simplified:

Buy a Passthrough, build a Wall Wart mod, etc, to use while at home or work.
Buy or build a Mod and change batteries once or twice a week.

EDIT:

Try a Wetbox (I got mine from CloudsOfVapor.com) - I'm a cartomizer user, and it has made life MUCH easier.
