Struggling with inconsistent atties....

[solaar]

Hi fellow vapers,

As the title suggests I'm a bit in a frustrating phase right now. It seems like 1 out of 2 atties won't give me the throat hit I need for a satisfying vaping experience.

I'm specifically talking about the M401. Being all other parametres equal, only half of the batch of the 10 atties I order is strong enough to tickle my throat like I was used to from Gitanes or Gauloises brune without filter. Most of you on here probably don't know those cigarettes or would never seek for that kind of hit. Since I started vaping I realised that smoking was all about the throat hit for me, nothing else. I could care less about nicotine and flavours. I just need that rough feeling in the throat.

What's strange to me is that those tiny 701 are 'usually' able to deliver better and more consistently. I do like the M401 though for its size and longer battery life. I also don't really like those monster batteries. But anyway, it's not only about the batteries but quite a bit about the atty.

Either I have to switch or I'll have to look for methods to bring the 'mild' M401 atties up to scratch.

Any hint is appreciated
cheers

Have you tried any High Voltage mods? I find I get a much stronger and consistent throat hit with my 5v passthrough than from a 3.7v 510. I've also found I get a better throat hit from flavors that aren't "sweet".

No, I've never tried higher voltage being afraid I would blow too many atties.

I find it strange though that with the stock M401 batteries only half of the atties hit nicely and the others are either knackered or weak.

It's perhaps really down to inconsistencies on the manufacturing side. These devices are quite small and fragile. However I'm still hoping that I didn't throw half of my money away and that there's a way to get these atties back to throat hitting life.
