EGo CE4 Silver 650mah- Something not quite right? Help!

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

Hi Guys,

Pretty sure this is not the place for this topic so by all means move it to where it should be, but now to my problem

After usuing cartomisers pretty much since starting to vape around 6 weeks ago, I took the plunge and ordered the above kit which arrived today. Filled it with e-liquid much easier than before obviously, charged the battery and put it all together and pressed the button...

And....not an awful lot going on- Taste like my cartomiser ones when they are dry. Except it's obviously not, filled it to the stated 1.6ml but not getting much joy

Did I miss something out here? Are there known issues with this kit? So dissapointed at the moment and wondered if there was a quick fix?

Look forward to getting some useful advice!

Cheers guys and gals

Thinking maybe there was primer in the clearomizer which would give you a horrible taste try dumping the fluid in an empty bottle and give the clearomizer a good rinse in hot water

 

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

A Primer sorry? What would that be? Did you see the picture (Posted it just before you replied!)

Something definitely not right and it can't be the e-liquid because its quite nice in the cartomiser/atty combination I previously had...

I'll definitely give that a go....I was looking at the clearo and was wondering how it actually works as there doesn't appear to be an awful lot of wick in there? Could that be it?

 

[mogium]

Yeah some mfg use primer for shipping their clearomizers. It's general practice to rinse out all new tanks I get just encase

 

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

Right you are, emptied all the liquid out ( it did appear to use some of the 1.6 I put in which is a bit worried)

Washed it out with warm water and I suppose I should let it dry out a bit first

Can see the wicks now, one either side (Picture attached)

once it dries try again should be better

 

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

How long would you reccomend to leave it standing to dry?

You don't see anything untoward from the pics? (Seen a few threads about cheap Ego knock off etc, but got this from ecig.net which I feel is reputable...)

Thanks for your help

Anyone else? (Probably being quite annoying now!)

Im not a fan of the clearos because they tend to taste plasticy or burnt alot of the time. I would prefer cartos alone over clearos anyday, but thats just me.

Granted, but I should be able to get a decent draw out of them, a lot of users tend to use them

I'm going to have a go at filling it up again, it's been dry for a good couple of hours now?

Cheers

I had that.

Fill the clearo up, leave it to stand for 20 mins or so, make a few sharp pulls and a couple of longer ones on it, attach the battery then give it a vape.

 

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

Well I did all of the above, initially I wasn't getting any vapour at all but it seems to have fixed itself....I am now getting that 'crackle' when I press the button and plenty of vapour...but still nothing in the flavour department...Well...it doesn't taste like cherry put it that way lol...

Is it something to do with the e-liquid? I wouldn't have thought so as with the cartomiser I get the flavour in tons...

 

[Sheila Michele 1971]

There will be a definite difference in flavor in a clearo. Some of those who use ViviNovas and similar better versions have improvements in taste....

 

[mogium]

It could be the eliquid I personally don't like cherry eliquid tastes like nyquil to me

 

[Myrany]

With my CE5s after a cleaning sometimes it takes 10 big draws or more for the flavor to really get going. Basically I have to vape the water out of the wicks. I have not tried CE4's but I would guess it is much the same.

 

[Bish-Bash-Bosh]

I see, good to know, shame I didn't before!

I love the cherry flavour in the carto, but I am not getting any form of flavour at all in the clearo...hard to put my finger on it but it just tastes like plain vapour, a bit harsh on the throat too... Even if it's really vague I would understand but there is no charry flavouring at all...

Somebody on another board said I may need to let it all settle as water as gotten into the wicks so maybe an overnight soak will do the trick but it does feel like a waste of money at the moment, albeit fairly inexpensive at around £13 for the lot...

Is there a carto that will go on the ego battery? Probably not..

Ego batterys have 2 threadings the outside(around the outside edge) is the ego threading but if you look inside(in the center hole)of the connector you will see another set of threading and that is 510. Most cartos should just screw right on.

Are you inhaling straight to your lungs?

Make sure you inhale to your mouth first (like smoking a cigar)

The CE4s that I normal use
don't have primer fluid.
Ordered a multi pack from FastTech,
to save a lot of $.
Those have primer,
and are random resistance too.
Nano 510 Mini Clearos,
from AltSmoke are $20 for 10.
They are super easy to fill,
perfect size for an eGo mini,
or to sample new flavors.
Those have primer, need to be rinsed out.
Of course I learned that the hard way!
