I will try this post again. I just have to get one of the VV devices some day. As for now, I just could not wait to try my new Nano. So far it is just OK. Taste is still muted compared to cartos, but I seem to get more vapor. It also seems to be a juice hog. I just hope I received a good Nano and it doesn't start to leak.

Rabbit, I have a Nano to and I experienced the samething you are. I didn't get as much taste not even with my manual X2,then it got to where I had to keep drawing hard to get a vape. I thought it was just me and a mental thing b/c I love cartos.

Funny how taste is subjective. That's how I feel about cartos... like sucking juice through cotton... not sure how much juice is left inside.. All no no's in my book. I guess that's why there is such a large selection of delivery systems. :)

I got the poncho someone found on eBay. I haven't worn it outside yet, but it's very nice. Just one thick layer of wool, though, so it may not be warm enough on cold days. Recently, I was given permission to not wear my sling if I feel comfortable without it, so now I can get my arm into the sleeve of my winter coat. Not wearing the sling gives me a lot more freedom to do things like wash the dishes. After not wearing the sling for hours, though, I usually put it back on for more support. But I can wear a regular coat when I need to. When I can get my arm into a heavy sweater, the poncho would be great over that. I want to put it on and get someone to take a picture of me in it, then post it here, but so far, that hasn't happened.

Whew, so it fits and you like it? I was the one who found it and talked you into it. Hope it worked out for you, and hope you can wear it soon.

Hey CommaHolly, Thanks for the PM, I have not yet received my DYI supplies, but will keep you posted.

I have vaped my new Nano all night and it hits like a bullet, I am getting too much nic, so must go to bed. Taste is getting better, but you are correct, filling your own cartos saves juice and enhances flavor. At least for me.

Good Night All

Got my twist!!!! :banana: All I can say is WOW!!!!! I'm typing this through a CLOUD!!! :vapor:

Using it with the T3!! Gosh.... I never really tasted RY4 before!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:

I saw an eGo Twist in the engraved dragon pattern that I really want, and with all the new rebuildable clearo and tank style stuff coming out for them, I have to admit that it's been really tempting. Just have to get a job first, then I'll be branching out right there with you! Glad you like your new stuff.

First, it's really good to see you, Holly. I was just becoming concerned about you. Well, both Raven and I were concerned. We just talked about you yesterday. Good to see you from Raven and me.

Cartomizers are all I use. I've tried a few of the others, but I like vaping with cartos. I do use the carto tanks - they don't require constant filling and the cartos last longer.

This is just my choice. Others really enjoy clearos or filler-free vaping. I completely understand.

Awsum, I'm wondering if you could help me with something? My sister likes the CE3s, but she says they really taste bad in the beginning and she wastes fluid until they begin to taste normal. Do you know a way to fix that? Thanks for your help, buddy.

yum,,,,,vaping green apple,,,,,delish :)


Oh, did I tell you all that my new rheumy is THRILLED that I am vaping??? he said it's as safe as it gets unless you give it all up, and for some that's not possible :)

I remain convinced that lungs that vape heal FASTER (after quitting smoking) than lungs that do not,,,,,,,

you watch,.,,,,20 years from now, they'll figure it out :)

Sitting down, facing forward.

Easiest way around the bad taste, which is probably because of primer in them, is to flush them with hot water before filling them with liquid the first time. The primer seems to be a hit and miss situation, sometimes CE3s have it and sometimes they don't. Usually it appears as droplets on the inside of the tank. If she's using a manual battery, a few really quick dry burns will help get them wicking liquid when filled. I usually shake them ike a fever thermometer, mouthpiece down, and then "suction" out the remaining water with the syringe which also helps get them going much more quickly. I may take up to 15 or 20 drags to get them going after they've been rinsed depending on how wet the wicks stay.

Another little hint is to use a hypodermic or sewing needle to make the first puncture through the inner seal. Just use it to make the first puncture and then switch to the blunt needle that comes with the CE3s. SI doesn't recommend that, but I've found it helps lengthen the life of that inner seal. If she's using liquids with a lot of sugar or dark colors, it's also a good idea to rinse them every other fill or so. If she's using lighter liquids they only need to be rinsed when the liquid starts appearing dark. Doing that will increase their useable lifespan significantly.

Hope this helps.

Cindy, thanks for alerting me to it. Yes, it fits, and I like it. The photo made it have a dusty blue tinge, but it's actually charcoal gray, nearly black, which I like even better. I'm sorry that I forgot who recommended it, so now that I know, a big thanks.
