If you've got little kids, they make handy baby-puke catchers.

Candy dishes. Or, save a few clean ones in the cupboard for when you have guests that smoke.

 

[sugismimi]

lol!!! one reason we quit was because no one around our family smoked except DH and I, so no reason to save the nasty things, Ummm.... puke catchers???? no don't think so, eeewwwww.. but thanks for the idea???? i assume this idea came from experience tho. my kids were projectile pukers so that wouldn't work lolol

i'll bring the dollar store ash trays, but i'm keepin my antique and expensive ones. there good fer collecting all my change from the day.

 

[sugismimi]

at least you have change!!!! seems like all mine goes into new stuff, just got some cartomizers and well hmmmm not really crazy about them.

 

[kno]

Awww, whats wrong with em? i love cartos! maybe we can help with some advice.

 

[sugismimi]

Well, seems like they have no humph!!!
I can't tell if they r full or when they r running low. Seems like they burn liquid faster than reg atty's. I drip most of the time .
I'm vaping on the Riva, using the cone with whistle top mouth pieces, and when I use the carto, it'stoo short for the cone, but w/o it, I leak all over and what a mess.I've been able to put 1-2 ml. in a carto, and let it sit, hell I even shake it around and roll it between my hands to distribute the liquid. When I start to vape, I get what feels like a few good pulls then , almost acts like it's run out already. Any ideas or is this a personal problem, lololol!!!!!

This sounds like a job for the "Mad Scientist of Vaping" !!

It sounds to me as if you are overfilling and flooding the carto. This is a very common problem.

The trick with any method, be it carts, cartos, or dripping, is to keep the atty or carto wet, but not to overfill. Always keeping your atty or carto wet will ensure good flavor and will increase the life of the atty or carto. If you're leaking, you're adding too much juice.

A good rule of thumb for Dripping is to drip 3 drops of juice into the atty and then refill it before the juice starts to taste burnt or you get an off flavor. Drip a little, but drip often. You'll get the hang of it after a while and you'll never leak again.

With Cartos, you should make sure the fiber is wet, but that juice is not pooling on top. If it is, simply blow into the battery connector end and blow out any excess juice into a paper towel or something that will not be a mess. Once again, don't overfill, but refill often. Don't let the cartomizer get low on juice. The fiber inside the carto can burn if you let it get too dry and produce bad flavors.

Oh...I'm plenty mad. Don't let the mild mannered alter ego fool you.

 

[sugismimi]

ha ha!!! noticed (if the time is correct) that you posted at 3:45 am!!! That would make you a "MAD" anything!!! lolol

Ok, I tried another way to fill my Carto, and I have been enjoying it a lot more>>>>

 

[kno]

sounds like you may be overfilling them. You shouldn't try to squeeze more than 1ml into a carto - no matter what others say lol... i would recommend starting with about 12 drops, and letting it all soak in without running before you start to screw it on and vape it. Also with the ego, the cartos don't work so well with the cone, because of airflow issues. This is what I've noticed. I also much prefer an atomizer to a cartomizer at 3.7 volts, however, at 5-6 volts - the cartomizer can become an invaluable friend


good luck.

 

[sugismimi]

I used Dr Vapors method and OMG What a difference. Now if I'm thinking correctly isnt the riva a higher volt battery? I have noticed now , since filling them a different way that i do like them better. the atty i used today at work, just didnt seem to do it for me!!! a lot lighter hit, and much less vapor.
I was hoping to meet you sunday, but next time huh?

 

[kno]

Doctor Vapor's videos have been invaluable to me too lol, i would have given up on filling cartos without them too haha...

so you know, the Riva is not a higher voltage battery, it's a pulse modulated 3.7v battery, but since it has no cutoff, it can supply constant voltage longer. Depending on the manufacturer it may or may not be built "high drain"
