OK, so I'm super frustrated with my eGrips right now. Which sucks, because I had been pretty sure that they were the ideal vape for me. I'd even said so to my husband…like, something new is going to have to be pretty special to convince me to buy it because I'm so happy with my eGrips.
And then. They both have started leaking like nobody's business, around the edges at the bottom where the metal joins the wooden finished part. After I fill them it's nothing but juice hands for at least an hour, and then it tapers off. I tried everything I could think of, cleaning the inside of the screw on part thoroughly before I screwed the rba head in, tightening the body screws again, even sticking a rolled up paper towel up in the airflow screw hole while filling. I even tried underfilling. It does it regardless of whether or not I take the head out to fill from the bottom or whether I use the juice port in the side.
And then, the rubber washer that is on top of the rba head in eGrip #1 somehow got stuck onto the metal tube that runs through the middle of the tank. Like, it came completely off the rba head and got worked down onto the metal and is stuck there. I have tried several hours worth of trying to work it back up and out with no luck; it gets caught on the edge of the rubber seal where the juice port is and won't go up any further. I gave up and just pushed it all the way to the bottom…but the replacement parts that came with the rba head did not include another washer that size, so now I pretty much have one usable rba head because without the washer the head won't seat properly. So, I have to switch my one rba head that works from one unit to the next when I run the battery down, and screw the unusable one into the one that is charging while making sure I've got a paper towel wrapped around it while it charges because otherwise juice leaks out the bottom airflow hole.
And for about two days, no matter what I do, every second hit is a nasty burnt dry hit. I haven't changed anything in my method of wicking, the coil is clean and brand new and runs at 1.3ohms. It does not matter if I adjust the wattage. I even drilled out the juice holes in the head some, but that isn't doing anything at all. I have NO IDEA why this is suddenly becoming an issue. It's almost like all of a sudden, both units have decided to run too hot. It's not the juice, because I've been using the same juice for over a month now.
No matter what device I use for vaping, it seems like they work great for a month or two and then start to suck. Am I doing something wrong? Is anyone else having this frustrating experience? I thought the eGrip was the perfect fill and go simple vape, but now I'm not sure and that is really disappointing.
