I just discovered something interesting I thought I'd share. I apologize if it's been posted before but I'm too lazy to go scouring past threads.
I realized that the seal the cartridge forms against the atomizer (or tube in my penstyle case) is far from airtight. When I draw in air, a significant amount of air is coming through that seam between the cartridge and the atomizer, rather than through the holes on the other side of the atomizer itself (where it's supposed to). That air is vape-less, since it comes in below the atomizer, so it dilutes the total vapor you get from each draw.
So I tried wrapping scotch tape around the seam to better seal it, and whoa -- big difference! You can feel the harder draw since less excess air is coming in, and the vapor is heavier and produces more of a throat hit.
If you try it, be sure to wrap the tape carefully so there are no bubbles.
It's a simple step, but it really makes a difference. If you give this a try please let me know your thoughts
