Ok, finally yerterday I received my first e-cig. I bought Red Dragon based on the reviews and after research I made on this forum.
I cannot comment on other e-cigs since this is the first time I try one and the Red Dragon is the first one so I will limit myself to my own experience.
I bought their package that comes with 2 batteries, 4 carts, a usb charger, wall charger. 1 low cart came as a gift. 4 medium marlbo taste.
First they shipped it very fast, but since i was shipping this outside the US i was afraid they would not ship this based what its in the package and they could think they are rea cigarrettes. Thanks to Red Dragon they shipped this on a Fedex documents box without any details so not a problem. My carrier shipped this overseas and I received it yersteday. I also bought a Tennesse Creet juice from Amazon which is on the way and should be here next week.
Well my first impression is good. The thing is on a nice black box, with the items I described before and some cargs from buyreddragon.com
I did not tried the wall charged but it was nice to know its also for 220v since most things I buy from the US are only 110v and I have to adapt them but since this is 110v-240v not a problem but I did not tried it.
I plugged one e-cig straight into my laptop. After 1 hour the light was green and I was ready for my first tests with the low cart that came.
I started to make short puff to warm the thing like its says on the instructions. Ok nice. You have to draw harder then cigarrettes thats for sure. For also have to draw slow. So I gave some puffs along the day.
What wondered me is that most people said there was no hit with this. I actually did feelt a hit with it when I took a good puff to it. On normal puff there isnt any hit thats for sure but with allot of smoke it feel it coming down.
I then tried the medium carts and I sure feel it there. So I suppose it has to do something with nicotine level. I did feelt the taste and its not like cigarrettes but I like it. Its not bad, its a nice flavor.
Now the part that bugs me is that when someone came over to try it after a few hours, after 3 puffs or so it not worked anymore. I thought it was the cart that was over but it did not puffed with another one. So i knew what was wrong. Battery.
I did readed here that battery is shot but I did not expected to be this short. It probably lasted 100 puffs at the most. I was dissappointed some way but I think this is because Red Dragon maybe charged this before shipment.
I say this because after pluggin it right away into the laptop it took 3 hours now to charge, not 1 hour. And I tried the second battery and it worked straight out of the box.
Im not sure how this batteries work but I remember old cell phones, the first generations you have to leave them to die completely out before charging. So i suppose my e-cig came with some charge but wasnt really full.
Then at nighg with new battery I started to test again and im not sure why but I could not draw at all. I draw and the light doesnt get one, I have to make short puffs so its draws but then when i make a long short puff it doesnt. I tried lots of way and it was not puffing, not normal, I had to draw really hard and it works 1 of 5 times. Even with several carts, so i put it away and went to bed.
Today I took it took a short puff and then a slow one and Voila it worked again. I suppose it could be thats its cold right now where I live, 5 celcius or something so I just think its was cold tonight since today it works well again.
Just in case I have plugged it right now again in the laptop and its charging again so im not sure anymore if you have to drain the battery before charging or you can do it when even you want and it will fill up.
This is what I did not liked to much. Draw is not as easy, I sure did not found the trick. They said it has a 3 second cut off and I always said here on the forum why people where bugged with that since 3 seconds is enought. Well I join those people. Its not 3 seconds, its allot less and now I understand why. It already takes like a 1 second untill smoke comes and another until you take it since you have to draw slow, so its not 3 seconds of puff but maybe 1 second. I understand now why people say its short. I tried what people said making short puff but I noticed then that juice comes out of the cart.
I also notice that its not good to make fast puffs since then juice will also come out, i did this on purpose and I always saw some juice when making fast puff, also smoke is not allow that way. It really works well making slow long puffs. Im not sure if juice on the mouth is good, people here say nicotine is highly toxic with skin but I just feel a little taste on the mouth, i actually like it.
Well. I hope someone can give me some trick since I still dont know how to puff this. When I puff it to the mouth it works but when I do it to the lung it doesnt. It seems puffing to the mouth is stronger. I also noticed that if you puff into the e-cig it heats faster but i read somewhere you can burn it that way. I just did a short in puff to warn it before puffing in. What Im not sure if this has to be done each time or i can just take it and puff directly in.
Overall im happy. Taste isnt that bad as people said with the carts that come. But I sure want to have my juice not because of taste but money. the carts are to expensive. They cost 3 times what a real box of analogs cost me so I have to refill it where ever i like it or not.
If I want to take this out with one night I will have to take 3 batteries at least since its short, very short in my case.
Last thing, I noticed it works better without the rubber caps that comes on the carts but its better to use them on since you can hold it with your teeth without leaving marks on the cart.
