Any help would be nice! (dripping)

[MikeyB]

So I got my first drip/atty set today from LF and it is the eGo kit they had a sale on last week. Charged the batteries and all, which I already knew since I have been vaping cartomizers 808s for a year now. But here are my issues below and I know they are all connected...

This is with 3 drops through the drip tip onto a regular 510 atty/eGo battery...
- Only getting like 5 big hits before taste runs out
- Half or more of the liquid is coming out the bottom of the atty onto the battery
- The taste of my juice is blandish, like cherry tasted like vanilla and RY4 tasted like vanilla (did not use any vanilla juice)
- There is no pop/crackle/cooking noise at all, just silence when I vape it (is this normal?)
+ BUT it is producing vapor like a diesel engine on a cold morning!

Any help would be great!

Atty's kind of have to break in the first couple of days so you might not get the flavors quite right yet. Also your juices may need to steep if you just got them, if it is all the juice you have vape what tastes best. As far as leaking, are you using the cone? If you are the cone should be holding onto the juice so it doesn't leak out. 2 to 3 drips is the right amount to drip so don't know why you are getting leaks.

Missed that last part, should be silent, that is good. You will hear a gurgle if you flood it, if you get that, try and vape through it, if that doesn't work, take the atty off and blow it out.

Well yea the cone holds it in, but it holds it on the bottom of the atty/battery connection, I would just have thought this was a "bad" thing to let happen, since there is no way that liquid down there is going to travel back up and get vaped.

I did get some new liquid in on the order, but I also have liquid from 3 months or older and all are the same, I hope you are right and it gets better in a couple days, cause this this is just to cool looking not to work great!

Thank you for your help Lisa, have a nice upcoming Turkey Day!

You can always get an adapter and use 808 cartos on it.I do,with the drip tip,makes topping off easier.Just sayin.

I have some atty's that leak like a hose and others that don't leak at all, most of mine do to some degree, I just wipe it down when I change the battery. I'm no expert but I'm thinking this is a 510 thing, but I'm just guessing. If you are dripping try removing the bridge.... WOW

Hey Keyzygirl didn't expect to see you over here on LFs, lol you know I got a lot of 808 carts, but the whole point of getting this eGo was to try atty dripping ><

Ehh I like my 2 month warranty on my attys, I'm pretty sure that would throw it out the window But just so I know for future reference what is removing the bridge?

This is how to do it

Well,you got dripping lesson 1,its messy!LOL,I only drip at home,keep a roll of TP handy.

 

[tybin]

i'd send back the atty

I always have some leakage, but the cone holds it in, when I change batteries I clean everything off really well and all is fine. Have been using this atty for almost 3 months and it works great.

 

[MikeyB]

Well let me ask this, how tight should the atty be onto the battery? I am use to using V4L batt/cartos and you don't make them tight at all....

 

[cubfanthad]

I tighten them just snug, it seems some tighten all the way and some appear to have a gap or space but if you force it and tighten it too much you will push in the center post and it won't make a good connection...

Atties come with a primer on them too. Many people like to blow out the primer before use, others vape through it. I have noticed, it can take upwards of a day or 2 for that primer taste to disappear.

I cant lend much advice on dripping though. I'm a carto user. We are now stocking BOGE cartomizers for the 510, 4081, and 808d-1. I highly recommend them!

Ty, what is the ohm rating on the BOGE 510 cartos?

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving in advance

[ImYourSalt]

2 and 3 ohm, my dear.
