What's up with my Janty? - Page 2 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

It took me a few weeks to develop good technique with my Kissbox and to get used to the tastes. I can't get good results with a cartridge usually, I drip most of the time. The atomiser seems to be pretty efficient and vaporises the liquid quickly so it can be pretty thirsty. The trick is to get the right balance of wet enough to give good vapour but not so wet that it leaks and floods. Really ... I'm not joking, it took me ages to get good with mine but it was worth it, I love Kissbox atomisers now.

Mine sometimes have a mysterious lingering smokey taste Lil that makes me cough a bit but so far I've vaped through that or had them replaced.

Thanks Kate. I read the huge KB thread and saw your early posts. I'm taking heart of the fact that if you struggled, it's more than likely I will too! I know you're a big fan of yours and since I trust our judgement, I'm persevering.

Enough of the KFC!

I'm gonna go away and lurk again...

keep smoking it and it will get better.

Also put 2 small drips in that atomizer to break it in faster

Thanks

Believe me, I've been dripping these things since about day one. I quickly figured out that carts are not the way to go for me.

Another thing that I'd forgotten about- when I first started vaping, the entire first day or two, vaping really smelled and tasted like that slightly sweet fog-machine smell/taste that you get when you stand too close to one at a club. That went away pretty quickly, but I remember it was really distinct at first. When I bought new atomizers, I thought that taste/smell would come back, but it never did. I wonder if that's just because I've gotten used to it, or whether indeed each of my subsequent atomizers has just been crap?

PS Even while I've been typing this, I've taken two pulls to remember the experience and already I'm clearing my throat!

I notice that when my carts get too dry or too "worn", the taste is horrid and they burn my throat. Don't know that this might be part of the problem or not but thought I'd mention it.

Good luck with it!

I bought mine 10 days ago and until yesterday I couldn't get a good vapor from mine either. It went through a cleaning cycle or the switch got stuck and heated up and its been working great ever since. I'm waiting to get some other juice to see if this makes a difference also. Been strictly smoking the Janty juice through it so far.

Lu- I WISH it would burn my throat. I haven't had a decent throat hit in days.

J_royall what kind of liquid are you using?

Thanks Lu. Definitely worth a mention. With and without the carts, taste remains the same - no flavourings get through whatsoever.

I think my immediate problem is I'm still waiting for the primer to wear off. I haven't used the KB nearly enough in the past 3 weeks for that to happen - my fault entirely. I shall grin and bear it methinks.

efag did you also consider your batteries to be at fault at all

I get really good vapour so I'm sure it's not a power problem. I mainly use it straight off USB.

BTW, Lil is much nicer than efag
