I love my pipe and had it for about 4 months, I had a little trouble at first getting used to cart and different juices but all in all once you get thru the learning curve after about a week of toying around with it, it is awesome. I blow out plumes of smoke and get awesome throat hits and definitely wouldnt advise this for a newbe. As far as juice it will initially take more than a e-cig but it is cheaper than I thought it would be, I top off every few hours just 3 or 4 drops and I am good to go. I keep my 808s for a spare cause sometime I feel like doing an e-cig but I dont go anywhere without my 601 e-pipe, it is all good for me and Im loving it, vape ON!!!
