Ruyan said:Update on cartridges (trick for ALL kinds of cartridges in general): After one day of smoking my cartridge looked dry, and I didn't have the same feeling on my lungs anymore as with a fresh cartridge, so far this is normal of course. I took a pencil and pushed the tissue in and pulled it out a little... I did this a few times until the whole tissue was drenched in liquid again (rest liquid at the bottom), put the tissue back into its original position, making sure no tissue threads appeared above the container - not to touch the atomizer. I could smoke for another 2 hours!
This means:
first 4 hours smoking (put away your e-cigarette horizontally-keep the liquid from over moistering the atomizer)
after 4 hours smoking (put away your e-cigarette vertically-moisture the atomizer)
Atomizer:
Your atomizer should always be humid and not dry. If it is too humid, just blow the liquid out of it. If it is too dry (burned taste, no vapor), drop one drop of liquid onto the atomizer, then put a cartridge.
Tutorial: How to extract liquid from a cartridge.
take a fresh (or some ) cartridge(s) and take out the tissue(s) with a pencil
put the tissue in a normal syringe you can buy at the local drugstore (the ones without the needle of course!)
push the syringe empty into a recipient such as a small glass container used for eardrops (rince well before using!)
now use the ear drops bottle's "pipette" to control a few (max 2) drops of liquids to fall on the atomizer.
Your atomizer is humid now.
from here on you have 2 choices:
1. you smoke with a dummy for 16 puffs and then drop 2 more drops of liquid (repeat).
2. put a normal cartridge and smoke the cartridge
Smoking with dummy and liquid on the atomizer is tricky, if you do not control it well, your atomizer will dry out and die. If you use cheap liquids your atomizer will cloack (please do not try to be Dutch, you'll end up paying a new atomizer and gain nothing using cheap liquids). Don't believe me? Please refer to this test of liquids to check on residue after very hot heating!
