Hey all. I'm starting to dislike my e-cig, which is bad (becouse that wil drive me to analogs and brrr, don't want that). The issues that I'm having are various.
I'll just tell my story and then ask for your advice.
So I started out with a KR808 which was nice, carto's were great (little did I know they actually weren't) pop them open, fill them up, vape away. Awesome! Untill ofcourse you go out, empty your batteries (I had 2 at the time) and then it was not so great, then came the next batch of carto's which were different from the ones I had, I now had CE2R4 carto's which were great for like 2 or 3 puffs of vapor and then, tasteless not to mention not throat hit at all.
On to part 2, the ego, I had read many great comments so I wanted to try it. So I bought one. I got the one with the cylinder type carts and ato's. Which was well, not so great. Hated it, it was messy, cart's were empty all the time, when I opened them up the filler would either get stuck in the ato or make a mess in general. The only thing I did like about it was the battery life. So that wasn't what I was looking for so ...
On to the ego-t. Got it, filled it, awesome, good taste (not always but satisfactory at least) nice throat hit, easy to fill. All in all, best I've had thus far. But then ato 1, leaking so I got another, after about a week same problem, so I removed the wick as described on the forums pushed it up a little to prevent leaking, eventually, I broke it alltogether, my bad. Next ato, maybe 2 weeks and I get a really hard drag, juice runs up the tank ... the works, so I clean it, get 3-4 good hits and then the same. So next (by now I'm starting to dislike these things) next ato, the one I'm using right now is flooding again after 2 weeks of use. I haven't cleaned it so far becouse I'm thinking I may be breaking them that way, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
What I do is rinse them with water, blow them out, give them a little dry burn (like 4-5 cycles on an ego-t battery) and then put the tank back on.
What I've tried with this ato, as I've read on here somewhere is use a new tank, that was a little better for like 2 or 3 hits but then the drag gets harder and harder untill its almost impossible to get any vapor out of it. I've blown it out multiple times with little to no result.
So firt of all sorry for the big wall of text but I'm going somewhere with this
First question, am I doing it wrong? Can I fix this? Or is this just the lifespan of an ato (2 to 3 weeks)?
Second question, can you propose an alternative? I don't like dripping so that's no option, I've tried it and its to much of a hassle. I've tried G4 carto's and the system I really like, they vape like crap though.
So far I have been limiting myself to suppliers in the netherlands since they deliver the fastest and transport is cheaper but I think I may need to order overseas to get something better (if there is?).
TLDR; I dislike my ego-t flooding all the time, please help or propose an alternative.
Many thanks
