    eGo-c atomiser issues/questions. Please help!

    Pulseshock, I was/am an ego t user (also an epower 14650 & 18650). I'd walk you through the steps for fully cleaning ego atomizers, but you can find a HUGE number of videos here or on youtube. They should give you all the detail you need. Please keep in mind, though, the law of diminishing...

    The error here is by the manufaturers and retailors.

    I don't think the "e-cig" label is for those of us who have already switched to vaping; its for the smokers out there who have been convinced that giving up tobacco is nearly impossible. It makes a PV seem like a smaller, easier step. We vapors haven't had time to resolve our vocabulary...

    Cant smoke this hurts way to much think im doing somthing wrong

    I agree with shellshock. You have to give at least 15 minutes for the wick to pull enough juice to the coil. The tank may be fine, or it may taste a little (or a lot) smoky, or at worst, you may have damaged the coil. There really isn't a way to tell without letting the wick begin to draw...

    Cant smoke this hurts way to much think im doing somthing wrong

    Setnaz, can you walk me through setting up your stuff, with details like what juice you're using, etc? I suspect that you may not have gotten enough juice into the wick & ended up with a mouthful of burned wick, primer and coil. I hate to add this, but you may (notice I said "may') have done...

    DCT tank plastic

    I used to use those. If you have an old one, put it onto your battery, then you can "wiggle" the plastic tube off. Be gentle; it will go, but if you rush or use too much force you can crack it

    E-Cig Noob

    BluCigs, you sound like I did when I started! What I had loved about smoking was the ritual of it, and taking away the pack and lighter freed me up to keep my head wreathed in vapor all the time! Other posters are right about drinking lots if water. Unfortunately the symptoms of nicotine...

    Hi from the uk

    Hi, Toby! Where in the UK are you? Glued to your television or avoiding the jubilee all together? I was born in Michigan, USA, but my husband grew up in South Coast. When we met, he was living in Nuneaton, just outside Birmingham. My inlaws live in a Scottish town I can't spell, and my...

    My eGo-T Mishap

    I actually bought a (very cheap) box of the swabs diabetics use on their skin before doing an injection for cleaning mouthpieces on the go. If someone wants to take a toot as an experiment, I have them stovepipe the carto, then swab before putting the mouthpiece back on. It would be fantastic...

    Ready for a really stupid ???

    Debadoo, that wire is the heating filament! If it were as thick as it is in some atomizers you could dry burn it clean. Unfortunately, it isn't, so DO NOT TRY! That filament has to stay intact just like the filament in a light bulb. If it breaks, game over! Go straight to trash, do not...

    nasty tasting cartos: cooking juice

    Sandy, if you have 20 juices in rotation, how long does a carto sit with juice in it? I ask because juice dries. Not quickly, but it does lose liquid to evaporation, thicken and crust. If it dries near the coil, then you fire it...well, it would be like beef jerky! Once that takes place, it...

    nasty tasting cartos: cooking juice

    Sandybeach, it depends on too many variables. If your juice is really dark (I've had black coffee vape before! ), if it is more strongly flavored, heck, even the precise chemicals in each liquid affect how well the heating filaments do their job. That's why some people prefer the variable...

    Week one down but.....

    Alliebar, quick question; what would an analog give you that vaping hasn't? I don't mean that to trivialize what your going through (been there, done that, didn't want the frigging t-shirt). The answer to that question is the answer you need when that craving hits. It may be nicotine which...

    Ready for a really stupid ???

    Debadoo, Whatchu doin' up? Thought I was the only night flyer! I know a good supplier out of the Dallas area, but I'm guessing that's really too far for you to go for a brick and mortar store. I have kind of the opposite problem; a store very close that I vowed to never return to unless its...

    nasty tasting cartos: cooking juice

    Hee, hee! Thanks, but how many people these days know what a septic tank is? Seriously, thank you!

    Got locked out of thread; don't know why. To answer your question, I switch cartos when somethin' ain't right; tight draw, bad taste, low production, whatever makes me unsure I want to vape it for the coming hour. After I boil my cartos and they have cooled and been blown out, I take a...

    nasty tasting cartos: cooking juice

    You are very welcome, moishesmom! I love all the jokes being made! I will add this to the analogy: variable voltage is like playing with the heat on the stove. Some people like their soup lukewarm, some prefer it just short of boiling. Lukewarm would make less steam and take longer to...

    nasty tasting cartos: cooking juice

    I was asked by a friend to post this analogy. He seemed to think it clarified his questions. Put a 3 quart saucepan on the stove. Pour in a can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup, plus 1 can of water as per directions. Turn on the heat and get that pot to a simmer (lots of steam, some...

    Ready for a really stupid ???

    First off, let me say that I have been boiling my used cartos once a week for almost a month with very little changes from brand new. Not sure if its my methods or the strength of CCV's resurrectors! Second, I think I should start a separate thread on the cooking of juice. Overcooked juice...

    kinda new vaper

    Play nice Pro Dudes! Truth is most of us would have a Provari in the arsenal if we could afford it. A lot of us can't. The first "step up" I went to was a cheap ego knockoff. 2 integral batteries, charger, atomizer, and some empty tank cartridges. It ran me about a carton and a half of...

    personal vape bar

    Now that I'm settling in with a few flavors I know I want to vape a lot, I'm able to order 50 ml + bottles of vape. They are too bulky to try to fill tanks and cartos directly with, so I have to keep offloading to 10 ml bottles. I have seen in a lot of movies and television shows a rack for...
