first round of newbie questions :)

[hottierockstar]

so i got setup yesterday and i have some general questions that i probably should have asked at time of purchase but i think i was vaped out from trying too many flavors....

i have what i have figured out is a clearomizer....tank with a coil head that has two wicks hanging off....
are the wicks supposed to look like there is gel/jelly on them?
I poked around a bit and saw some threads about certain juice flavors/brands ruining your gear but i am not really sure what the def of "ruining" is since this is all so new.

how often does the coil head need to be replaced?

i have a stick battery (an egoC twist)...how do i know when it is fully charged? how do i know when i need to charge it?


am i being OCD wanting to have multiple setups?

thanks

(hopefully these aren't annoying questions)

For your first question, I'm not sure what you mean. The wicks should be somewhat clear due to the ejuice. Acidic and minty juices may possibly crack a clearomizer, but it depends.

As for coil heads on clearomizers, I've used vivi nova heads for several months before replacing the wick/coil. It comes down to dry burning and cleaning the heads. They'll last a while if you take care of them.

I've never owned a twist, but if it's like the older ego models, when you attach it to the charger the light on the charger should change colors meaning it's fully charged. The mod should start cutting out if the battery is low (which is why having more than one of them would be desirable.) Multiple setups are nice. Having a backup in case of failure is pretty much necessary in my experience.

well some juices (the ones listed in a couple of posts) tend to crack the tank if it is not glass.

as for the battery. is it a manual or automatic? if it's a manual the button will change colors denpeing on how much charge you have left, and charging it should just be like any other ego battery

You can clean clearomizers. Search youtube for videos. When we bought our kits we started with clearomizers as well. Ours are still going after steady use for the last month. Some liquid tastes linger, even after cleaning. From what I read on these forums some acidic liquids can clog clearomizers, atomizers and cartos. There is a list if you search.

Battery- Simply put, it will just stop working when it needs to be charged. You charge it using the charger that came with your battery. It has a light that turns from red to green when its charged.

With regard to the charger, the Joyetech battery charger will turn from red to green when the battery is fully charged. The fire button on the battery will blink when its time to charge it.

you will want back ups for sure.....some (most probably) have backups for their backups. ocd? this is a all ocd group...you are in the right place....welcome.

you can't see the wicks on my head...looks like they have juice boogers....rather than being able to see the wick it is a gelatinous hanger on each side of the head. (sounds gross huh? LOL)
thanks for the other answers

ok...then i suppose more research/shopping is in order..i thought i would get something done today...*shakes fist lovingly at ECF* LOL

i must say. that is a very interesting (yet disturbing) way of describing the wicks haha. But in all seriousness, the wicks in mine look similar, and that just because of the blend and coloring of my juice. I would definitely suggest cleaning the head before switching flavors otherwise it starts to mix in with others. Found that out when my new coffee and cream juice had a hint of tobacco flavoring to it... but i think i like that mix haha

sadly...that sounds good....i am sure i will feel differently completely off of analogs...

oh you will. "drawing" on an e-cig is totally different http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...9-inhalation-technique-ecig-vs-cigarette.html this link helped me get to where i wasn't just coughing after every hit. also, It'll irritate your lungs a bit more because the particles in the vapor are significantly larger than smoke is.

definitely different....
leaving the vapor shop...habit to smoke while driving....i lit up...2 hits and it was distinguished...so i am pretty sure your accidental coffee, cream, tobacco combination will not appeal to me even mentally in a short while LOL

same thing happened to me on friday when i left the vapor shop too
