I tracked down a post about what happened to one poster's juices in a fridge.

<<That is correct, Emsmom, I did lose hundereds of dollars by putting it in the refig. It went rancid after 3 months. The e-liquid was from Totally Wicked, Puresmoker, E-smokeytreats, and JC. The reason why I lost it was that the tempeture was to cold in the refig at 40 degrees and the refrig is not a dry envoirment with the door opening and closing.

I have e-lquid that I have stored in my closet that is almost a year old and is still as good as when I got it. The key is Cool, Dark, and Dry place. I do not post this to tell people anything else put my experience. If you feel for some reason that the refig is the place for your e-liquid---then go for it. I can only tell you is my first hand experience with loosing e-liquid.

Gesh... you're just full of good ideas! Didn't think of that, could even prolly tape it down too.

Hmmmm.... don't remember any pics of one. I did google it but didn't find anyplace that sold them. Just saw them with the kits. I still don't understand how you work it though. Like do you have to spin it around, move it up or down or just take it off to vape?

if you you go over to volcano.com and look under accessories then look in the inferno listing top row 2nd to the right you well see the battery button covers.me bad it is valcanoecigs.com

For anyone who has lost a battery - does it blink 3 times? Noticed performance on one battery not as good - then it quit working and blinks 3 times when I press the button. Won't charge either. Tried it with another carto and same thing. Just wondering if anyone else has seen the 3 blink.
The only time it blinked 3 times for me was when I tried to out vape it. I held it down and vapped til it blinked and then it did blink 3 times. But no it did not kill...
When it is dead and gone you won't get any blinks. The LED dies also.

Welcome aboard Tom!
Just an observation... I've found the really thick juices (40/60 PG/VG) do cause a few problems with the Gocarts. Takes a little more patience when filling and they do not last as long before needing to be cleaned. I have one carto with a 70/30 mix that I've topped off 15-20 times (lost count) and is still hitting like a champ. However the 40/60 dark mixes seem to start losing vapor and flavor at around 5-7 refills. I've just started refilling them 5 times then cleaning them out and that seems to be working fine. I guess that's to be expected though... these juices are VERY thick and very dark. I would imagine I would have the same problem with attys.

Trying to get into DIY juices myself... would appreciate any and all tips you'd be willing to share. Have the juice-me-up calculator and a pretty good selection of bases/flarorings/sweetners but still having a hard time matching the intense flavors that some of the suppliers can come up with.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping to have a few recipes to share soon. One thing I do that seems to be working very well is thinning the VG up front with 15% distilled water. I put it in a separate bottle and shake it up real good before using. Example: 6.4 ml VG and 1 ml distilled water gives you 7.5 ml of thinned VG that will reduce or eliminate all kinds of problems. I also don't measure anything in drops because drop are different from various containers and the size of the opening where drops are formed. I use nothing but syringes for measurements and get better mixes. I also go as high as 25% on flavors instead of the typical 15-20% because I like the stronger flavors that taste right. This works fine unless you use the really concentrated flavors that are designed to be used at 10% or less.

I keep getting a burning taste with my cigeasy cartos, the 2nd gen ones. My juice is 35%VG, wonder if I should try thinning it down a little with either some plain PG or some Everclear .. maybe 35%VG is a bit too thick for these cartos. I ordered some of the 3.0 ohms blank cartos from nhaler yesterday, those might do better with my juice. I think the cigeasy 2nd gen cartos are a much lower resistance than 3.0 ohms, has anyone measured the ohms on the 2nd gen cartos?

Excellent Info CeeGary, I ceartainly do not want that to happen. Just removed them from the fridge. I love the way they taste when they go in chilled but it is not worth losing my jice :D

Thank you very much for your research

Nate

ha stashbldr it shoud not hurt it im using a 70%pg to 30%vg with no burnt taste.it is best to fill and let sit for a few min before you start to vap on them.all of mine are form nhaler and ver 1

All of mine are version 2 from cigeasy. I let them sit for 1/2 hour .. then 1 hour .. then 2 hrs .. LOL. Makes no difference, I get a burnt taste. I am use to vaping a cooler cartomizer, I normally vape at 3.0 ohms. The CigEasy ones are about 2.0 ohms which is great for most people, but not for me. I ordered 6 boxes of the 3.0 ohms ones from nhaler yesterday, I think that will fix my problem.

I have 4 or 5 boxes of these CigEasy version 2 cartomizers so I will probably sell those on the classifieds because that is the resistance that most people like to vape at (except not me LOL) and I'll use the 3.0 ones from nhaler instead.

Just curious, stash...how many drops of liquid are you putting in? Sounds like a too dry issue maybe?..I put 90-100 drops in a fresh new carto, and never had the Burnt taste, well, not until several hours later when they need a top off...just wondering..

Hey stashbldr, I have assumed for a while that Cig Easy only sells the regular ohm resistance Go-carts and only Nhaler sells the regular and LR ones. I haven't measured my new 2nd gen CigEasy ones but they seem to be tasting just like the 1st gen versions, with a possibly slightly greater cloud of vapor. Did you measure the ohms on your new ones? I've seen others on this thread mention that the LR ohm measurements are all over the place, with lows around 2.0 and highs over 3.0! Was this liquid working fine in the 1st gen? Have you tried more than one?

Hi Greyrat .. yes I tried 2 cartomizers, filled both with 3ml of juice (100 drops), let each sit a while, got a warm vape with a slight burnt taste. My taste buds are really weird though, that's why even with a KR808 or any of my mods I always use prefer a cooler vape. Even on my other PV's, if I use anything lower that 3.0 I get a burnt sort of taste. It's just me .. or it's my juice. I only vape one juice, it's caramel based and so that right there makes it harder to go thru a cartomizer, regardless of the amount of VG in it. I added a little more PG a little while ago and now it isnt tasting burnt, so yes it is the thickness of my caramel that's doing it. But I dont care for a warmer vape anyway, so I'm still going to switch to nhaler's 3.0 ohms cartomizers when they get here and wont use these lower ohms cigeasy carto's.

I been using 50-80% vg (actually mostly humco usp synthetic glycol) thinned with 190 proof for some time now w/o a problem. All week now on the go-go refilling one prefilled and one empty carto (using the tarin spin). I assume these are 2nd gen from cigeasy as cartos had the condom....

If this thing continues to perform so well w/o fussing as it does each day. then all my 510 (junk) and carto's (IKV and boges) will stay in the back of the drawer.....:)

Hey stashbldr, I wish you weren't going through this with the new stuff. I have gotten KR808 cartomizers that were defective right off the bat. If that happened to me I would just throw it in the trash and grab another new one. But those cost about half as much as the Go-carts. At close to 3 dollars each and two failing, I would contact the vendor before getting rid of them. Cig Easy has a support email: SUPPORT@CIGEASY.COM
