The device isn't crap he is using it wrong.

I was trying to avoid saying or implying that, but I tend to agree. I also agree with those who've mentioned that starting off with a sub-ohm thingie is a bad idea; most of us need to build up to that sort of intense vape.

Nicotine is not a "get high" sort of drug. If you're looking for that with vaping, you're looking in the wrong place; there are a lot of other substances for getting high. Vaping is for the purpose of abstaining from, or reducing, cigarette smoking. Which also doesn't get you high.

The intensity I was referring to is the heat and throat hit, which is far greater with sub-ohm vaping.

I liked my EGO type devices and loved my cartomizers. Were it not for my loving NETs, Id probably still be using a carto tank on a EGO type.

I am a heavy vapor and because of that and impatience I moved to a device that allowed me to charge the batteries and replace them instead of replacing the whole unit.

I would walk around happily puffing on that set up at vape shops and people would be shocked at how large and thick the clouds I left behind me were.

Its all in knowing how to use your gear properly.

The fact is, you have to learn a fair amount about vaping equipment to ensure that you'll enjoy using it. It's gotten simpler over time - a lot of people can buy and immediately be satisfied with some of the new starter kits that have better "stock coils" than there were a year ago, a pretty simple "up or down" device that can produce as much vapor as they want, and not-too-hard to fill or prime tanks.

But still - every device has little techniques and nuances to operation that help prevent things like burning a coil or having a leak.

Bottom line - all those troubles are "user error".
It should be "fill and vape" - but it's not...not quite.
If you want to find a great, satisfying vape, you can - - but it may take a little work learning the equipment, and then learning your preferences and possibly changing to different equipment (and the same goes for liquids).

    With any device, if you draw slower and/or longer it will get hotter. With higher power devices, that means drawing in air quite rapidly. Be aware of the flavor "envelope" where the flavor might increase and develop over the first second, and then start getting kind of dry and burny towards the end. If the device was adjustable you could avoid that or at least adjust the time it occurs over. Running just a little hot will make it keep getting worse. You might even have to wash and air out the tank if enough nastiness passes through it, as well as replacing the coil unit.

    A lot of people didn't stick with the included tank with the Ego One though (I don't have one).

    Hi all
    I have ego one small cylindral e -cig

    I see there is a filter inside(1 ohm) and the shop told me to change it every 2 weeks

    Is that correct?

    Another question is when do I know is time to change it?

    That id not a filter. That is a wick that brings your juice into the coil.

    I would change the wick when the flavor tastes bad.

    Depending on what and how you vape it may last two weeks and maybe only two days.

    Vape too high in wattage you will burn the wick. This really tastes nasty. Sweet juices gunk up the coil faster than other juices.

    Sub ohming gets hotter vaporizing more of your juice. Bigger nicotine hit. This is why people lower their nic when vaping Sub Ohm.

    Andria us absolutely correct. Vaping is for helping ond break free from the nicotine monkey on their back instead of getting high.

    Plenty of other ways to get high and won't take as long as vaping either.

    I suspect that since the ANTZ have demonized nicotine for so long, saying it's as addictive as that street narcotic, people somehow expect to actually get high from it -- if they've ever smoked an actual cigarette, that might even reinforce that expectation, since the carbon monoxide deprives your brain of oxygen, increasing the slight dizziness that would result from smoking when one is not accustomed to it. Throw in the MAOI alkaloids in tobacco, and I can get why those not accustomed to smoking cigarettes would expect nicotine to "get them high" -- even though it was mostly NOT the nicotine of cigarettes that caused all the "high" sensations. Cigarettes also provide their "payload" in PDQ fashion, thanks to being absorbed directly thru the lungs, and thence to the brain within SECONDS, whereas it can take up to 15 minutes for vaporized nicotine to reach the brain -- still a pretty good bit faster than when absorbed via the skin, as with patches, but not in any fashion that would contribute to a "buzz." The principle is much the same as with alcohol -- if you down a shot, bang, your brain will feel it very quickly. If you take 30 minutes to drink a beer, you won't feel nearly as intoxicated from roughly the same quantity of pure alcohol.

    If one is not accustomed to nicotine, it does make you slightly dizzy; even if you *are* accustomed, if you use a higher-than-usual dose, there will be a slight dizziness... but it's really not a very pleasant sensation, and will lead very quickly to nausea and possibly even vomiting, if not discontinued just as soon as the dizziness is perceived.

    There could be other reasons for vaping nicotine, than smoking cessation -- brain chemistry disorders, inflammatory conditions, maybe even appetite suppression for dieting... but getting high is just not something that nicotine can provide, when consumed via vapor without all the other chemicals present in cigarette smoke. Even when vaping WTA, there is no "high" -- just an even better chemical substitution for smoking cessation and possibly those brain/inflammatory conditions; it just will not hit your brain in anything like the near-immediate fashion that smoking provides.

    One thing I do not under stand is how people say the CLR Coils are rebuildable but the other ones are not. I have never used a CLR coil but I rebuild the 1. ,.5 and the TC NI200. They are the easiest coils to rebuild that I have tried. I rebuild a lot of coils and do not see how it is possible that the CLR coils could possibly be easier. I own a Ego one, two Ego One megas and a Tron. Wife uses them daily.

    I think just about Every Coil Head can be Rebuilt. But some are Definitely Easier than Others.

    And perhaps when people say the Regular eGo One Heads are not rebuildable, what they should be saying is the Regular eGo One Heads were Not Designed to be Rebuilt.

    I swap out dirty atomizers about every two weeks for the ARO style atomizers. The T-Dux atomizers seem to do about three weeks until needing changed. This is a different set up from yours, the basics are roughly the same though.

    I keep a small container (pill bottle) with a little 80 proof vodka. I put dirty coil assemblies in that and shake it a little every few days. They soak for about a week to three depending on use needs.

    Then, I rinse them with warm water, do what is called dry burning or pulsing. They usually can be cleaned this way three rotations. I may then boil them out in a pot of water, or they may need rebuilding.

    Being a modest and frugal type vaper, I look for affordable gear. The coils I use cost between ~$1 to $3 USD per unit. For me, this means if all else fails I can pitch old ones and buy anew easily.

    In fact cigs gave me a palpabale buzz especially with caffe. It felt very airy and powerfull. Instant hammer effect of increased sense of well beeing
    This is not reached with vaping , even sub coil 0.5 ohm
    I would say vapers at 0.5 ohm and 6mg nicotin are MUCH MUCH more weaker than a light LM blue cigarette :(
    If you want the double whammy of nicotine and caeffeine to be REALY felt you have to use analog cigarettes :(

    I want to update , I feel absolutely like I smoked 2 packs of cigarettes yesterday when I wake up today this morning
    The burned coil really damaged my throat and lungs and I spit some black goo...This is no joke , these devices are dangerous for one simple reason when the coild is burned and gives u the burned chemicals it does it gradually and when u feel it is kinda too late. Also the Chinese quality of ego one .... for sure no quality control , and when I searched the net there are more peaopel complaining if their product .
    I wonder why all reviewers gave then maximum score and only one gave them their lowest note for their shi**y quality (burn taste , spill liquid , spill liquid in mouth , overheat)
    I felt all of then

    Man , and I thought vaping was the solution , is not , and for sure can be more dangerous than cigarettes , and I suspect might damage your lungs quite quickly (weeks/moths)
    I will go now to the vape shop and throw the defective device on their floor and also wanr their other customers of this .... + I will make an youtube video to want other people of this dangerous products

    Most of us go through coughing up gunk when switching from smoking cigarettes to vaping. It is a natural part of the process. Your body is expelling all the crap cigarettes put into it. Your body is getting polypropylene glycol into its system.

    This is used in the household disinfectant branded Lysol. Hospitals also use it to disinfect the air inside them. It is safe and healthy within reason. It kills all the bad crap, and flushes it out of you. They use it in asthma inhalers as well.

    Cigarettes of the tobacco nature have damaged your lungs far worse than PG will ever do. Yes, PG can dry you out a good bit. It is why many of us drink a lot more water. Water too is good for you within reason, it regulates your temperature, helps you digest food, aids in clearing toxins, helps circulation.

    It sounds as though you may be a shill. Not accusing you of being one. It does read as though you may be, though. If you simply do not like vaping, walk away and return to your tobacco cigarettes. No need to spread negativity when we can unload truck loads of positives about vaping.

    Understand, this is not a war you will win, nor a war you desire. We no longer consent to your rules. Try ours. Go do a lot more independent research for yourself. Explore various aspects to vaping. There's a wealth of information here and all over the web. Then, step back and evaluate it all for yourself, think critically. Yes, I know that may be hard, it may even hurt, but you owe yourself as much.

    Really, is it hard to think other human beings might be concerned for your life? We are. We are telling you here that we have found a safer way to enjoy nicotine, those who do, or to have a hobby giving us flavor sensations. We are telling you it's easy to learn about this hobby, offering advice and guidance.

    We do not need to do that. We desire doing it. We're happy to help. But, and it's a big but, you have to also help yourself. You need to invest a little time, effort to learn more about vaping. You seem intent to disparage vaping, instead. Well, I'll say it for many of us, go take a flying leap then. You don't like it? Don't do it, walk on.
