Am I doing something wrong

[kwp924]

I was a 2 pack a day smoker a week ago. I am now down to about 1/2 pack a day and loving my Vapor King ecig. My problem is that I do not seem to be getting enough air flow through the device. It seems like I have to suck my brains out to get a hit. It did not seem that way a week ago when I first got it. Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? Do I need to clean something or what? Does not seem to matter if it is a fresh cart or not. Please help.

There is a video for cleaning the battery, let me hunt that down, but in the meantime...Are you using automatic or manual batteries?

Here is the video for cleaning the Automatic batteries. Try this and see if it helps.

I am using auot batteries. I have seen the battery cleaning video. I don't have the needed equipment yet. Do you know where the air is supposed to flow from (tiny holes in side of battery, between cart and battery, etc.)?

You can try using Hot water if you do not have alcohol. And you can use a q-tip or cotton ball instead of the pipe cleaner.

Just do it the same as in the video but with water and a q-tip.

The airflow does come from the tiny holes, so make sure those are clear of any residue.

Also you can check the cartomizer, make sure the labels are not covering the holes. Sometimes the labels are just a smidge to long and cover the holes which keeps the air from flowing properly.

Did mini clean (dry). Checked holes and battery area inside holes. Seemed to help some. Will do major clean latter when I have more time (I'll pick up needed items). Hope that works as I really want to make vaping work for me and I love my V4L equipment. Have been talking up the device big time to friends. Thanks for the help. If it doesn't work I'll be back.

This forum is great and I've appreciate the ability to zip in here for advice and support. You guys are all great!!

Glad it helped a bit, please do post if you continue having problems.

Another tip, take the cartomizer off and on the battery end of the cartomizer run your fingernail around the outer edge. you should feel 4 indented gaps. If those are covered by the label, just use your fingernail to push the label down so more air can flow through to the battery.

Nicely covered Michelle! I'm lazy about cleaning my batteries, sometimes I just wipe the threads with a tissue and poke a needle into the pin holes under the threading and spin it around to give it a little wake up.
