I have been vaping for about 5 days now with a DSE901 and am still having a hard time getting a good vapor each time I use it. I have tried many different ways, but maybe I am doing something wrong. Currently, I add about 2 or 3 drops to the cartridge and 1 or 2 on the atomizer. With a charged battery, I can wait a minute then take a 3 second drag. I can barely taste the vapor and barely any blows out. I have seen a bunch of videos of people who can blow out just as much vapor as if they were actually puffing on a regular cig. I have tried alot of different ways and tried the other atomizer and still I never get a consistant hit.

The other thing is I just bought some Janty Marlboro High strength liquid from DietSmokes.com for $10.95 shipped. I got the bottle and it is SMALL!!!! Now...when i first got my ecig, I ordered some Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured from VaporGuys.com and it was $8.99 for a bottle twice the size. Where is a good reliable place to order some juice for a good price?

Try taking a few primer puffs first, a quick draw and let the vapor dribble out your mouth. This gets the atomizer working well. After 2 or 3 quick primer puffs, you should have good vapor to inhale.

also could be that you're sucking too hard or too light. it took me a bit to find the sweet spot. as for the primer puff, pull really gently, almost like drinking a milkshake, watch and feel for the atomizer to kick in, let go, then re-draw again and "catch" the atomizer as it's on and continue your draw. hope that makes sense :)

When? There might be more effective advice we can offer but that's too general. Every time you vape? When you open a cart? When a cart is done? How is it with a new fresh cart and no extra juice? How is it using a mouthpiece without any cart filter, now that you've added all that juice? How long are you charging the batteries?

Or maybe it's all fixed by now. ;)

I add juice when I can't get a hit at all from the ecig even with a fresh battery right off the charger. I have been using the same cart for the past 3 days and just refilling it. If I take the mouthpiece off, it does no different. Same vapor. Same hit. Ok, here is to give you a good idea of how messed up this thing is. I just refilled the cart about 30 minutes ago. I have puffed on it about 9 or 10 times and now I can hardly get any vapor from it. This is with a fully charged battery too. I charge the batteries once the LED starts blinking as stated in the instruction manual and they charge for about 4 hours. I have 2 atomizers and they both act the same way. I just want a good consistent hit each time. The ones that burn the back of my throat are good :p

And as for the juice, is there any better place to get them than my where my first post stated?

You might be waiting a bit long and letting it get too dry.

My carts don't keep wicking well for that long. 1 day or 2 max works better for me. However I vape a lot and I don't wash out the filters, I just top.

Many folks say that's about right for topping a cart. Dripping doesn't work as well if you're topping at the same time and keep doing both, it starts to flood the atomizer.

Errr... it's just you? :p

You ordered different brands of juice from different sellers and kind of implied they weren't good sellers cuz it didn't all cost the same by size. It was a little off putting. Those are both good reliable sellers and to many those are two good brands of juice. Better by what criteria - you mean, cheaper?

The shipping was fast from DietSmokes. but they did not have the size of the juice on the site and I was expecting the bottle to be about the same size as the JC Tennessee Cured since the price was a little higher.
Ahhh. I've seen that on a few sites, either not listed or really hard to find. Same with nic strengths, some sellers still do not list. We need to keep providing feedback to these companies on such matters. (although with the FDA ruckus we might not have to worry about juice and carts for much longer :()
Since I live in the US, would my order be seized if I order from Totally Wicked?
This forum has a supplier section for TW, and TW also has their own forum at their website. You should be able to find plenty of info there on how it's going.
