I was also getting a bit frustrated with my super mini, but I have found some techniques that work thanks to these forums, and this thread in particular.
I can't really tell if blocking one of the holes on the super mini makes any difference for me, but a slow draw definitely does! So here are my tips for the super mini, may or may not work on other e-cigs too:
1. Push the cartridge HARD into the atomizer. Not too hard as you don't want to break it, but give it a really firm push which leaves no doubt that it's in as far as it can go. I've noticed that this gives it much more consistent performance, and more smoke.
2. Slow draw! This has already been mentioned in this thread. The idea is to breathe in as slowly as possible, but fast enough to activate the LED on your e-cig and keeping it activated without "skipping". I found that doing this gives me more smoke than I have been able to get before.
3. Don't suck and inhale at the same time (or inhale from your mouth, not your lungs at first). What on earth does this mean? Well it's the same way I used to smoke real cigarettes, and I found that it gives a much better and more satisfying "throat hit" with e-cigs too. This is very much personal preference, heck some of you may already do this, but I'll describe it anyway in case someone finds it useful!
Basically you clamp your lips round the e-cig, block the back of your throat with your tongue (but leaving your nose free to breathe normal air of course!), and slowly open your mouth as much as possible by moving your jaw downwards (keep your lips sealed round the e-cig when you're doing this). It will cause your mouth to fill with smoke. Then, when you can't draw in any more smoke, you inhale it with your lungs. All of the smoke should hit the back of your throat at once, and it should give you a good hit! Another advantage with this method is you take in a less smoke overall, and I find it more satisfying.
