Ask IMAGINE & S_Steve - Thread :)

[Retriever]

Retriever--you need to let your X2 lay side-ways or with the clearo slightly tilted down, as the liquid level goes down. The wicks are little short dudes, up near the top. These things DO NOT LEAK, so you can lay it down with confidence.
I"ll let someone else speak to the protections on these.

Thank you. The reason I had asked is because right before I ran the clearo dry, I got some really bad, burning hits. Not awesome at all. Why aren't the wicks on the bottom? It would make sense, as I thought the coil was on the bottom. Now I am confused, but that is okay, I stay that way.

Is that your affiliate code? If so, you are not allowed to use your own code for your orders unless policy has changed.

No i'm not so stupid. Some people i gave it told me it doesn't work, not valid, i also tried with a different IP and account.

All nine of mine rest in a standing position (which is not recommended, but it's more convenient for me) but when I vape, I roll the PV enough to wet the wicks and vape with the PV in a horizontal position. Even chain vaping, I've never had a dry hit. Maybe I've just been lucky so far ...

 

[Konstantine]

Maybe the wicks should be longer and hang on the bottom side. It would minimize that.

Okay, I have to ask some questions on these. The vapor is great, but all I am getting is a metallic vape. Hence my question about cleaning them first. I have emptied it, cleaned it, filled it up again and still nothing but a metallic taste. It sat overnight so I know the wicks have had plenty of time to soak up what they need, I am laying it vertical, and it is full...

Am I doing something that I am not thinking of wrong? As of right now - these are not vapable...

What juice(s) are you using?

 

[Semiretired]

It is a coffee extract 80PG / 20VG. Works great in my cartos.

 

[starsong]

Sounds like you are doing everything right. I've tried 3 different juices in mine and haven't noticed any odd flavor. Maybe you are more sensitive to it than I am. Sorry, wish I could help.

 

[Semiretired]

Thanks. I just hope someone comes up with something.

 

[CatLady007]

Semi--have you tried any other liquids?

 

[Semiretired]

Not yet, but I can I guess. 90% of what I vape is based on my coffee extracts with different flavors used for accents. If I cannot vape this through it then the clearomizer will not work for me...

have you only tired the one clearo?

[Semiretired]

Yes, I did not want to use the other one and ruin it also.

I also tried something to see if it was something I was doing. I poured out the juice, and rinsed it with some thinned PG and then refilled it with plain PG that way it could not be the juice or to much nic or whatever. Still has the same metallic taste. So it is the clearo and not my juice...

 

[Imagine]

You are not doing anything wrong from what I have read.. the only thing would be under or overfilling could cause that taste...

if you are not doing either of those the resistance could just be off in that carto and need to be replaced.

They are easy to fill/manage so I doubt it is user error. I would go ahead and try the other one... just do not fill above the 1.6ml line and let the wick saturate for 5 min before use.

[Semiretired]

It is filled to about the 1.5 ml line - I tried to make it right on the mark... Do you think I should try the other one?

What if you tried laying it horizontal? Maybe the liquid isn't sufficiently reaching the top, where the wick is.
I get metallic hits on some cartos toward the end, when it's time to refill. Maybe it's something like that...

 

[Semiretired]

Cindy - typo on my part - it has been laying horizontal (on its side)... I would also think that if it is full then that would not make a difference. I have had no problems with cartos of any kind. I never vape em dry. This was from the first vape...

 

[Imagine]

yes I would try the other one.. the resistance may just be off and need to be replaced.

 

[Semiretired]

Okay, I will try it in the morning. To late at night to try fiddling with something now...

 

[RickMc]

Not every vaper/delivery/juice combination is going to be a hit...if a gazillion reviews have taught us anything, it's that. Try it with a different juice. Even cartomizers, which seem to be the most level playing field, deliver a different experience with different juices for different people. Just like there is no perfect car for everybody, there is no perfect carto/clearo/atty/tank/whatever that will be for everyone.
