First Day with V4L Vapor King

[adammg]

Me again...

Received my Vapor King today and have some noob questions.

While using it I got this real strong metallic taste on my tongue...like sucking on a 9V battery, assume I sucked juice into my mouth. How do you avoid that?

Taking a drag sometimes doesn't light up the LED...using Cool Carts...do I need to use more pressure?

How often can you take a drag without burning the cartomizer...not having much luck gettin that throat hit or satisfying feeling without really heating up the cartomizer from constantly puffing on it.

This stuff is probably going to seem obvious. Metallic taste, are you drinking enough water? Is your cartomizer full (take the cap off and look at the polly fill, it should be wet).

Give the cart a blow through, from the cap end onto a paper towel. Making sure the liquid is around the atomizer bit.

It sounds like you are using auto batts, make sure you are doing a prime puff. Meaning, take a brief puff (no need to inhale it) then take your normal drag on it.

Depending on what cartomizer, if its getting hot you are draggin too often. You usually need to let cartos rewick. If you are constantly dragging on it then the liquid won't vape well.

If your led is playing up your battery might be faulty.

Hope this helps, I am sure someone with more exp will offer some more info for you.

I use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece instead of the endcap (not metal - a wire that sticks up inside might touch the metal). And when I add juice (with carto OFF battery), after I add juice I touch soft tissue to the top of the stuffing, tilt open end down and puff into threaded end sort of medium pressure - that way any excess juice ends up in the tissue instead of on battery or on my tongue later.

And I never use auto batteries. Most people here use and recommend manuals. Harder to damage or kill with juice leaks, easier to get a good hit every time with less work. With V4L manuals you press the button in 1-2 seconds early so nice vaper is waiting when you start to drag and let the button up just before the end of your drag.

Re autos - when an auto is cold you may need to double-drag it - once to warm it up and once to get your drag.

If you actually think one of your batteries has a manufacturing problem then put in a ticket or return request at V4L
