so for me it is still beta-tech. to weak in taste and too much mess in handling.
I might risk a look again when they change the hardware.

It really depends. Look at the 510, for example. There are dozens of companies manufacturing 510-compatible parts, not just the original, Joye. As a result, quality can be erratic. Those who are using cartos instead of atty+cart combos generally find one good supplier and stick with it. My 103 only leaks if I overfill the carts. I've heard that Boge cartos have a pretty good rep, so if I switch to a 510-compatible model I may start using those instead of regular carts.
The industry is fairly new, with PVs only really taking off in the last couple of years, but I find that places like e-cigarette-forum.com are great for getting recommendations for quality vendors and equipment. Just something to keep in mind if you decide to try them out again.

Too hard and I cough, not hard enough, and I feel I'm not getting anything. Mostly I smoke them in the car. They just don't do it for me.

I admitted that, but what I haven't admitted until now is how that cigarette tasted so good that a week or so later I had another. Then another. Then...
Damn that Jules Verne. I hope he's cleaning porta-potties in Hell.
And damn American Spirit for making cigarettes that taste so good. But at least they're additive-free.

Thank you for sharing your confession.
I have to remember to stay away from that book!
My 103 has a pretty gradual fall off after switching to a fresh batt/cart, so I don't really notice the problem you've experienced with that. I like having a model with an LED tip because it gives me visual feedback on my draw. For the auto models (no switch, they heat up when you draw) it sometimes helps to take a quick puff to pre-heat the atomizer first, then take a regular draw. Manual (switch) units are supposed to be better in that regard, but I haven't had the chance to try one yet.

As my body is detoxing from analogs, my sinuses are extremely sensitive right now. I've found that while a nasal exhale does help getting my nic dose faster, it also can start me sneezing.
