About to Give Up Vaping... So Frustrated..

[krnxguhj33]

I've tried Ego-T Type As, Type Bs, Ce2s, and CE3s. All of the aforementioned components either leak heavily or deaden the taste of what I know to be a strong liquid. All I have left is trying a cartomizer and I'm getting to the point where I think those aren't even worth the trouble. I can't seem to find a good atomizer system where I can hold liquid. Dripping is not really an option for me because I'm outside of the house a lot and I don't have much time to be vaping and dripping. Frustrations galore. Furthermore, I don't want to get a whole box mod like a Reo because I want something that works with the Provari (Something I really want right now...). At this point, I'm kind of glad I didn't get a Provari either because without a decent atomizer/cartomizer/etc system that I like, I'm just about ready to give up vaping altogether and just go back to the simplicity of analogs again... TT_TT

Ask and you shall recieve:

Crystal Clear Vaping

These work on the egos, they hit like a truck and hold about 2ml of liquid without an external tank.

This is my main all day vaping device.

I can sympathize with your frustration. I love the taste of dripping but having to mess with the thing constantly was less than ideal. Tried the Ego tank A system. Works good but not enough flavor. Dual coil clearomizers are great for the first few uses but mine seemed to clog up pretty quickly. I have enjoyed it all so far but its not without some nagging frustration that I have not found a great system. That ended yesterday when I got a shipment of resurrector cartomizers.

Crystal Clear Vaping

They hold a bit more juice than the Ego T but the flavor....oh man the flavor. They will leak if overfilled, that is the only issue I have with them so far. Try a carto before throwing in the towel. I can highly recommend the rez cartos, they are very close to the flavor hit you get when direct dripping without the fuss.

I suggest you try a big cartomizer like the new SmokTech single coil eGo cartomizer (I got mine from Liberty Flights). They hold ~3 ml of juice and vape very well. SmokTech also makes eGo dual coil cartos, same size, but I prefer the single coil. If you fill two cartos that size in the morning, or the night before, they should last you all day. Just remember that they need to be refilled also, but not as often as the much smaller Boge 510 cartos, which are my personal favorites, BTW.

The ST eGos are available as single coil in 2.5 and 2.0Ω; both are great on the eGo-class batteries.

Oh, and you don't need a Provari to enjoy vaping. Take your time and learn how to use what you already have. It takes some time and practice and patience. There is nothing wrong with eGo-t atties, especially the type-B--but you need how to use them properly. Watch some youtube videos, they are very helpful. Cozzicon has great videos about the eG--T system.

And forget the CE2 and CE3 cartos for now; they are high-maintenance and very inconsistent.

Good luck.

Just stay strong . It takes a little bit of time to find out what works for you. Remember the reasons of why you quit cigarettes in the first place. You don't have to throw all the success you gained to go back to cancer sticks and risking further harm to your body. It's simply not worth it. I REALLY hope that you continue to vape for a little while longer. I can promise you that it will be worth it.

A LOT of people love cartomizers since it gives them what they need in terms of flavor, TH, and vapor. If your looking into a getting a Provari in the future. An overwhelming amount of it's users are using Carto Tanks. Which takes a lot of the fuss out of vaping. Which means you have the option of having 3-5ml of juice at your disposal. Without having to top off the carto.

You can actually get a carto tank right now to see how it works for you. Get some Boge LR 2 ohm cartos from here:

Cartomizers

Which is another GOOD carto besides the resurrectors and the single coiled XXL Ego cartos. I would recommend CCV but, they are out of stock on the boge's right now.

Carto tanks can be bought from all over the place. Such as this one:

The Phiniac Pyrex Tank Reviews - Phiniac Glass

These types will last you for a LONG time. You can use it when you get your Provari too. And yes, they'll work on your ego for now.

 

[Off Topic]

eGo Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer

I love these too. They hold a ton of liquid and have a soft rubber tip so you can hold the entire device in your teeth when you need both hands.

 

[orkira]

I use eGo-T batteries now with Boge LR cartos. So much easier and so little hassle for me. I do top them off after about 30 to 40 puffs on them though but I'm talking long drag puffs.

What thickness of juice are you using? What PG/VG? Everything you listed likes best the thickness of 30% or less VG i.e. thin juices. Everything you listed may need to be screwed with to work right. Ego tanks can need their wicks adjusted, CE's can need their inner seal modded. Why don't you just use what most people use - normal cartomizer with suitably thin juice (I prefer 20% VG or 10% VG in cartos) and avoid dark, opaque or cloudy juices that drop a lot of sediment and clog everything up? Clear attachments attract new vapers like honey attracts flies but most clear things need to be tinkered with to work right. Use something that just works and as a hobby screw with other stuff. Most people use Boge cartos.

There's a bunch of great advice already given, so all I want to say is Hang in There! You can do this.
It takes everybody some trial and error to find their perfect vape. Hope you find yours soon!

 

[krnxguhj33]

I'm using an 80/20 PG/VG ratio juice. My juices are all clear because they're all menthol. The clogging isn't the problem. If a clearomizer would last a week without the leakage that I'm seeing with my current ones, then I would be a happy camper. But the thing is, they start leaking from the first tank and it just runs out of the air holes and battery connection. The CE2s cracked on me and they taste like burnt plastic. The Ego-T system.. I don't really need to talk about it. I'm just so frustrated.

Tobacco addiction is a cunning and baffling foe, at least in my experience. It tries to wiggle and worm it's way back into my life on a daily basis as I have only been cig free for a few weeks. I look at it as a living entity that wants to see me dead. I had a rough day today myself. My tobacco addiction kept reminding me of how easy and wonderful lighting up was and could be. Sneaky ....... ain't it. It lies. It just lays there waiting for me to have a weak moment so it can pull me back down into the abyss. It does not have weak moments like I do because it is not human. Now, all this may sound a little out there but I am a fighter. I will not tolerate anyone or anything that wants to see me dead and I will fight back as I have all my life against any deadly foe. By making a conscience effort to look at my addiction to tobacco as a deadly foe I think I have a fighting chance to put it down as I would any enemy. It is after all a very deadly enemy. It gives me a focal point in those week moments when that sorry #*%**# rears it's ugly head. Don't let it kick you ..... Hang in there and watch your back it is waiting for you to be weak. Vaping is my battle ax.

 

[PONKAW]

Exactly what I was going to suggest. (CCV)
Try the boge lrs.
The $70 Epower kit is a good deal. If you do, get the black N mild.
And also get some quality juice from someone like FSUSA, AVE or VAPERITE.
A quality carto will change the way you look at vaping.
To me attys are more for testing juice or really enjoying dripping a really nice juice (similar to a fine cigar). Day to day, I dont think you can beat a carto.

I love the Resurrectors from CCV and use them 95% of the time. The only time they leak is if you overfill them (which will happen at first).

Even if you get frustrated keep tinkering with the e-cig. It took me over 6 months of smoking and vaping to find a combo that worked to get me off the cigs.

 

[dormouse]

knx - that's a good thickness and what I use. But for many people, the attys/cartos you are using look better than they work. Tanks can leak or get burning taste, attys in general get gunked up and lose flavor and vapor, CE cartos often have a problem of their wicks getting pinched and not wicking right. If you really want a clear tank then something that MAY work better for you might be a carto tank like J-Tank, Notta tank, Liquinator, Chibi tank etc - a Boge or DC carto that is pre-punched in the sidewall is slid into the tank and the juice surrounds the carto. But buy the plain cartos too. If all else fails just vape what most others find just works and more people use plain old Boge cartos than anything else. And you can try Smoketech cartos and the Kanger 510 Horizontal Coil ones - mostly 1ml stuffing cartos. Use a drip tip as a mouthpiece so you can add juice easily.

BTW re tanks - Cignot has softer clear doors and you should be able to find Youtube videos for adjusting the wick by searching for Ego-T wick. Re CE's - I have never found a video of trimming the notches in the inner seal. Some just flip the inner seal. But also try the popular cartos.

You can do this. If you need to have cigarettes while you get your equipment straightened out, no big deal. You didn't quit cigarettes. You're transitioning to vaping. No rules or deprivation or crave craziness is required for success. Vaping tastes so much better and more pleasurable, you'll do what it takes to find your sweet spot in your own time and that's ok. The industry is new and imperfect. You're right, a Provari won't make everything better. It's a battery mod like the rest that also allows you to regulate voltage. They're great. But you're searching for how to deliver the vapor for a fuller taste experience. Vaping with cartomizers may mute the flavor for you. They're worth a try. Most people love them. Member Renzuli just introduced me to using atty wicking material inside an atomizer to hold more juice, drip less often and still get the full flavor I want. Maybe his solution would be a fit for you. What should you try? Everything. Almost 10 months later vaping still gets better and better for me. Keep at it. You're worth it!

 

[krnxguhj33]

Thanks for your help guys. When the money arises, I'll try out the resurrectors and maybe a boge cartomizer/tank combo. But until then, I'm thinking of just tossing in the towel and go back to analogs for a little bit. I've tried for three and a half months and it's just making me too frustrated to even focus on schoolwork.

 

[dormouse]

Please buy a pack of plain Boge 2 ohm cartos and try them. Liberty-Flights.com or LiteCigUSA.net should have 5 packs and cheap shipping. Goodprophets too. You have a good thin juice for them. Fill to capacity (make it take 18 drops (hold tissue hard against threaded end hole or use carto spike), wait to let that soak down and add 4-8 more - whatever it will take), then clean up, the lay on different sides for 15-20 min to spread the juice around to make sure every bit of stuffing is damp.

 

[washvap]

I understand that your frustrated. I've been there myself and smoked a cig a month after I quit. It reminded me why I quit since the taste was unbearable. You should go ahead and try one to see what it's like for yourself. If you don't like it then just jump back onto the horse and keep riding. 3 1/2 months is quite an accomplishment IMO. I honestly wouldn't throw that away. Honestly, it's more then the nicotine that's part of the addiction. It's the 4k something chemicals that are meant to keep a person smoking.

 

[krnxguhj33]

My money situation is complicated, but for now, I can say that I can't really afford to buy anything, including gas or food... @_@;; I have a couple of cartons of analogs in my house and I can just smoke those until the money situation is figured out. Even when the money situation is figured out, I don't know if I can buy any more PV related items in the near future.

 

[tina xuna]

Of course. All of the thing are developing very fast . The products will be more rich and perfect .So you can buy more PV related items in the future .Even though I am not a smoker but I know the e cigarette ,developing all the time .so you don't need worry .
