@Newbz - I too can taste that yuck you are experiencing. You aren't alone. At least with the new juices it's a little better. It's a hard hitting PV and so I'm giving it to my 2 PAD boyfriend when he finally comes home. He won't notice that taste at all. :)

Good to know I'm not the only one! :)
Your BF will probably be fine with it. Everyone else I let use it did nothing but rave about how awesome the KR808d-1 is.

You'll have that. ;)

This post will help many and should be a sticky. However, the reason these steps take place has more to do with marketing than anything else. People see the mall kiosks and various "starter" kits at gas stations/7-11 etc. They buy one. The few very light smokers or those extremely motivated to quit make do and that's it.

Most, start realizing that these are OPTT (over-priced tinker toys), that batt life is non-existent and that the cartos will cost them an arm and a leg. They go back to the kiosk and up the nic content. Then, while there is an improvement, it is slight and they start to draw like crazy producing that burned taste. They go through 2-3 cartos a day (discovering that some are duds) and realize that it is just not practical. Those who are motivated enough, search and find places like this where their horizons are vastly broadened.

On the other hand, the mall kiosk now carries 36mg Usa Made VG juice... so things are getting better. I say, passthrough models available within 2 months :)

That is EXACTLY what has happened to me! Now my 510 is tasting yucky (menthol lights smoker). I need to find out what I am doing wrong.

Knowing what the kiosks charge though, I can't wait to see one of them pushing box mods for a price that could buy most people a used Volkswagon. ;)
