I'm just curious to what you guys have tested and found to be the EASIEST draw and MOST vapor.
Please vote on the poll. I know there is many, many more mods available. I just am curious as to what the consensus is for the most popular.
And by easiest draw, I mean almost effortlessly.
Old post, but still fun.
Not all of the models I've tried are in the poll. So just for the fun of it. Here's my complete list so far [I think this is all of them]...
4081-auto and manual rig
084-auto
510-regular manual and manual mod
808-manual mod
901-manual
801-manual
401-auto
701-cigar
601-pipe
Those last two I'm not counting, because 1) they're not e-cigs and 2) wouldn't be fair. Besides, I don't own them, just tried them from somebody else. They were fun though. They're the next closest thing to a party fog machine... LOL... expensive too, as I recall.
Also, the 901, 801, and 401 I don't own, only tried them from somebody else. But I do remember their performance, which SUX, that's why I didn't buy them. But if I had the time to tinker with them, I'm sure I could've optimized those to make them better.
Also notice that the majority of them are manual styles. I hate auto bats. They make me want to throw them at somebody. A manual bat gives more control with the burn time which also allows you to clean the atomizer with a good burn-off. It took me awhile to figure this out, but using other cleaning methods is a waste of time and can actually do more damage than good.
As for the first four (4081, 084, 510, 808), I have owned and tested them in various ways with different liquids, batteries, and cart overhauls.
The 4081 is the same thing as the SE Gold edition. It did an okay job. Air flow wasn't all that great. Vapor was noticeable, but could use some more work. I hated the small cart capacity, so I mostly drip-vaped on them. I gave one atomizer a tune-up by connecting it to a manual 510 passthru mod (can control volts from 3.5 to ~4.7, and control amps from 0.36 to ~1.72... and no it's not connected to a computer). I finally got the vapor production I was looking for on the 4081. That was fun.
The 084 is the same thing as the epuffer super mini. That thing was a big joke and a waste of money. The draw was sort of okay, but the vapor production royally sucked big time. No matter what I did to it, it just wouldn't put out. The only thing it had going for it was it's cute size. Needless to say it's laying in a landfill somewhere in about 15 pieces. Saved the charger though for a future project.
The 808 is not such a great thing either. I wound up getting an adapter to connect the cartomizer to a manual 510 battery. On top of that I had to mod the adapter to improve the air flow. That thing was like sucking a watermelon through a garden hose, so I had to do something. I finally started getting some noticeable vapor, but it still wasn't all that great, so I hooked it up to my 510 passthru mod. Finally, after using a different liquid and giving it a primer puff it started putting some better vapor out. Still nothing to write home about, but it's getting the job done. The only thing the 808 has going for it is it's large cart capacity. I took one completely apart (instantly destroyed) and found out what the problem is... it's a cheap coil in a vertical configuration... NOT GOOD!
Now, while trying out the units mentioned above, I was switching back and forth to a 510 so I could get a decent hit. I didn't realize it until just now what I was doing. I was trying to get those units to perform like a 510. I thought I could get at least one of them to do the same job, or maybe even better. But no dice there man. I have yet to find a unit that can out draw, out vapor, out taste, and out last a 510.
510 ROCKS!
