So I have been vaping a little over a month now "no analogs,accually tried one and coudnt stand the taste" but im at a point now where im just not happy,I am just not getting what i want.My vape life is at an all time low,if i can put it in so many words.

I vaping on an Ego type A,its the best thats available in SA.So i cant go to HV even if i wanted to.I started with the atty and cart style,tried my hand at clearomizers and giantomizers "because of wicking couldnt stand them".So then i moved onto dual coil Lr mega cartos and loved them to start off with but they soon lost there liking when the vapor production and burnt taste started to come around so,nowi have moved on to dripping which at first i also loved but now its just not doing it for me,i cant really say why but i feel as if its not giving good TH or vapor production and im vaping 36mg Nic juice so there must be TH but i cant feel any and its really starting to get me down i feel as if i must be doing something wrong,because i just cant find a happy spot,I like the thought of dripping but something just isnt right and i cant place my hand on it.Could it possibly be my vaping technique that is wrong or what.Have any of you got an idea for me to try to get my true vape back,I just feel hopeless at this point because i keeping thinking i found my thing and then i realize no,i accualy havent,Is there something im missing about how to drip properly or something becuase if that is the best way to vape if you dont count the mission of dripping if you only count vapor production,taste and TH,it seems from whati have read to be the best way out of them all.Could dewicking and debridging my atty maybe be the key.Any suggestions ?

try some different juices, flavor is very subjective but just a suggestion try some Boba's Bounty and also you may want to try a JonboyUSMC tank with a Boge 2ohm Carto. This should give you a decent vape with no Aggg of having to fill anything and you can chain vape it away all you want, at 36 if you dont have to set that down after a bit I would be very surprised !!! Edit: you can buy some Menthol Drops at Avejuice as well, and menthol any flavor juice up you want, just be careful a half a drop goes a real long way.

My Pleasure, I always hate to see folks struggling with vaping and try to help anywhere I can. I know this works for me but it may or may not work for all others. The menthol Juice I get is Extra Strong Flavor 18mg juice from E-Liquid Emporium, L.L.C. - E-LiquidEmporium.com. They have had the best tasting Menthol for my needs that I have found.

Very best of luck to you Morgan69

More throat hit with a very little vodka or everclear added to liquids from what I hear. At 36Mg it seems like you should be getting knocked over though.
I was very frustrated with Duals, and dripping too. I debridged and no better for me. I use fluxomizers from Gotvapes and with just a little adjustment I find great vapor, flavor and throat hit. but not sure if they ship to SA. Hope that helps

Sorry about your frustration. Dewicking and debridging can help a little, especially since you can get a used atty cleaner when you can see what you are doing. Work on older attys first until you get the hang of it because you can ruin them if you are too rough. Once they taste burned anyway, debridge/dewick, soak in vodka, alcohol or boil and try a dry burn until you see that the atomizer coil looks clean. There are many threads on cleaning methods.

Take slower hits. It's almost the opposite of a cigarette. Slow hits produce more heat than the similar hot boxing of a cigarette.

Sometimes it is just a phase you go through for a week or two as well. I wish equipment wasn't so difficult for you to get.

Ya'll really need to start paying attentions where the OP is from, can either one of you guarantee that the suppliers that you listed will ship overseas?? Can either one of you guarantee that the OP will receive it?? People there are folks from all over the world here, this isn't even an americian forum, it's British. I try to see if I can find out what they can get where the're at so I can help them, just posting links without knowing doesn't help anyone. And unfortunately I can't help this time, but at least I know where he's at.

One thing to remember with the duel coil cartos is you need to treat them as disposable. I only get about 1 to 2 weeks max out of them before they drop off. Also remember to keep them wet. If you vape until they are dry you will shorten the life span dramatically. I use them like a dripper would with an atomizer. Every once and awhile I will put a few drops in to keep the material wet.

Also with dripping I didnt see anyone mention that dripping does not work well with standard atomizers. Since you cant go HV you need LR atomizers for a good dripping experience. (At least thats my experience)

and one thing I didnt see was if you are using VG or PG liquid. In my experience cartomizers dont work well with straight VG.

If you can get Ego parts, a Mega Tank atty might give you what you want. When you said Ego A, did you mean the mega cone?

I agree with the advice to vape slowly taking about 4 seconds to get a mouthful of vapor and then a quick inhale or a french inhale. That will get you maximum vapor and throat hit.

Cartos are some of the most satisfying vapes I've found. Let us know what is available in your area and we can review those and give you better advice. Knowing the options available to you would be valuable info for a recommendation.

I get the best results from the ego mega type B. But if you're using genuine Joye batts, remember that they top out at 3.2v. I feel that true vaping doesn't begin till 3.7v minimum. You might want to try a mod that uses replaceable batts, or go to an ego clone such as the KGO. Most of these put out from 3.7-4v. Or my favorite, the ego booster from happyvaper.com which will turn your genuine, not cloned, ego batts into a VV voltage device.
