can someone explain "mods" and thing I can do for my ego

[sarg]

I liked my ego at first, but it seems like that clearomizers do not last that long before they seem burned and start really changing the flavor. I enjoy them at first, but they go down hill within a couple days.

I keep reading about varios mods. What would you guys recommend? Still pretty newto the ego and vaping!

 

[DancingHeretik]

Are you sure it's mods you want to know about and not juice delivery devices (clearos, cartos, atties, etc)?

 

[AttyPops]

^^^ Good point!

The clearo problem is not a battery problem. What model eGo do you have? VV or standard/normal? How many mAh?

Also, what juice do you use (particularly the PG/VG ratio)?

 

[Naguera]

If your juice starts to taste funny check your atty, a burnt wick its no bueno

 

[sarg]

It is a ego model with the 5 click "saftey" feature and a 1100 Mah battery. And to be honest I am not sure if it is mods, delivery devices or what exactly I need to know about. Juice is just the stuff they sell at a place called awesome vapor. Tried several all do the same thing.

Pretty sure the wick is getting burnt. Juice just starts to lose taste entirely and vapor production goes down.

Clean your clearo with vodka and dry burn your wick. There are videos on YouTube on how to do this. It will help them last longer. I clean mine in vodka and then dry burn. Good luck & VAPE ON

The top coil clearos need to be tipped then rolled to keep the wicks wet as your juice level gets lower. Without knowing what type of clearo you are using the help we can offer is limited. If you don't know what you have post a pic and I'm sure some one can identify it.

 

[Naguera]

U can try also blowing on your tank, place a paper towel under so you dont get juice all over and then clean the bottom with a q-tip and also the battery, hope it works

 

[sarg]

Yup I ha e tried the paper towel cleaning method. My question is why do they get burnt so fast and is there another type that may be better about not burning so fast. I will attempt to get a pic tonight and post. Can't really do that on my phone so well.

Without seeing the tank, if you bought it as your first I'd bet they got you going with the ce4 or 5. Got to figure out if you can rebuild it or not and also keep in mind this is a hobby that has a replacement cost...stuff happens don't get too attached to a tank, and get some spares for when stuff like this happens.

Does it look like this?

 

[sarg]

Yes it does look like that. I understand that there are replacement. Oats, but I hear of people using some of the other clearomizers for weeks rather than days. Wondering if there is a better kind to get to replace these.

 

[dmagick]

I know what he's got, but I can't name it. I started with Awesome Vapor, too, so I know what they sell. As for the juice (I'm not knocking or advertising) some of the flavors are more pronounced, but the "smoke" is less than what is at Vaperite (another local vendor). The tradeoff is that Vaperite's juice doesn't burn off the wick so quickly, but is burning the back of my throat. For peach, we've been mixing the two.

Yes. This is what they sell. The wicks are much longer, though, reaching into the bottom of the tank.

 

[AttyPops]

Generally (I don't use those clearos so I can only discuss generalities) burning is from:
A) coil too dry...wick not well saturated...could be from juice being too thick (like high VG juice) or from pinched wicks.
B) Voltage too high
C) Juice recipe clogging the heck out of the wicks. Change juice if so. Maybe a clear juice with less that 50% VG assuming you're not PG sensitive.

Basic rule of thumb is that you can't burn real wet wick.

 

[Madison76]

The heads should last you much longer than a few days. I use clearos that have the wicks on the bottom. I clean mine every couple of days. All I do is rinse under hot water and then burn them clean. Only buy new heads every month or more. I don't know if those come apart, but if they do - clean them!

WIth the coil up top you also need to tilt it up every now and again to make sure juice is getting to the coil (though you said you had longer wicks).

A "mod," as you were asking about, provides longer battery, more power and more adjustability. The juice taste most likely has everything to do with your delivery system (what sits on top of your battery).

 

[dmagick]

Hey sarg, slightly off topic, have you tried drip tips yet?

 

[crxess]

If you are new to this and trying to keep cost low until comfortable look at these.
About the same in when new performance and easy to service.
Kanger T5 Rebuildable Clearomizer - 2.4ohms

Simple pop on coil heads for fast clean and fill.
Kanger T5 Coil Head - 5 Pack - 2.1-2.3ohms

The reason yours are failing so quick may be due to coil resistance/battery output/e-Liquid make-up or improper use.

Lowest Pricing I can find atm.

Why would he try drip tips if he is using a clearomizer that doesn't accept 510 drip tips. The guy he is using has drip tips that screw on.

Sarg, I think what you are asking about are different types of clearomizers? I think that the Vision Vivi Novas are my favorite, but I am a minority on here. Most newbies like Kanger Evods, M/T3s or the pro tank. All of them use changeable coil heads and should last you longer than a few days.

I have always had bad luck with the type of clearo you are using, Sarg. They only last me a few refills and then crap out on me. Anyhow, good luck

 

[sarg]

Not sure what a drip tip is honestly. This has a removable tip on it. Hve not really tried taking it apart beyond that.
