    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    Yup, seems I'm getting dried out wicks with the high VG juice. Tipping to keep the coil wet helped but I think the set up just isn't quite right for the juice I've got. Got some good advice though so I'm sure I'll get it right in no time ;)

    :) Well you guessed right! It does seem that the wicks are too dry at the coil so the tip method helped a little. Still after a few drags the problem persisted a bit. I'll try what you say now - thank you!

    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    Well I'd hate to have to call you a genius right off the bat but... Great advice, I did just what you said and it really helped eliminate the plasticy taste! :) I am using high VG content so maybe the carto would be far better for me than the clearo's I've got going now. I'll have to start...

    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    As soon as I figure out the difference between a cartomizer and a clearomizer I'll let you know which one I like better! :p I did try a drip type atomizer and just didn't get it! I wanted it so I could sample different flavor juices without loading up a whole cart but I think I am just too...

    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    Hi Grizz, Yup, those are the kind I'm using. I think this brand is the Saturn, but they're really similar. Good advice about how to hold it. In my pea brain I kinda think that's what the wick is supposed to do - bring the liquid up to where it needs to be heated, isn't that kind of what a...

    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    Hi Titanium, and thanks! Yeah I realize the Provari won't help with my current situation, guess it was silly of me to put that in my post. I was thinking though if I'm getting a plastic taste because I'm holding the battery down too long that maybe a VV will help me get the hit I'm looking for...

    Hi! And what am I doing wrong???

    Hi everyone, great forum here! I'm new to vaping and am really happy to have found a place to learn so much about my new "habit". I've learned a lot, but man there is a lot MORE to learn. I was a pack a day smoker for 25+ years. I've now been a vaper for 9 days and haven't smoked an...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hi John, Thanks for the welcome and the helpful hint about replying to a few people at once. Now that I've managed 5 fist posts maybe I'll try that ;) Also, sorry I'm not a bigger Kiki Dee fan lol. I get that a lot but it's really just a nickname that stuck...It's actually kiki_damnit in...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hunter! Some how I knew when I got to the end of this thread I would find you stating the positive 24 hours without smoking post. Who knew it would be the day I joined and started reading??? :) Good for you buddy, it's not an easy journey but it's going to be worth it for our selves AND our...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hi There Bigali :) 2 years smoke free is fantastic! How do you feel now? I quit for a year and a half once but I never really felt like I'd actually kicked the addiction. Guess that's why it was so easy to go right back to it as soon as I had a good enough "excuse". I'm curious how you feel...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hey Fencing Girl, Loved your story here - and made me think how happy I am not to have gone outside for the last 5 days when it's cold and dark! My boyfriend says the vape really doesn't bother him so I've been feeding my addiction inside for once! Thank goodness too, this San Diego winter...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hi Vapoor, Wondering how you're doing now? Looks like you were really focused on cutting back the nic at regular intervals. I'd like to be able to do that too with the eventual goal of getting off the drug altogether. I'm new though, so maybe looking down the road to far... I have a...

    I am having a dreadful time

    Hi Myk, Thank you for explaining why I'm having a hard time with the eGo-C...I must be a hard sucker! LOL but really, I think I am creating leaks somehow that cause juice to come up the mouth piece. I'm still learning how to inhale properly, hard to get it right after 25 years of smoking...
