from cartos to clearo's the easy way?

[skelley]

NP, glad to help. I hope you get things sorted and going your way.
We never learn anything if we don't ask and there is no such thing as a dumb question. Who knows, the next time I have issues with something, you may be the one with the answer.

That system is a cartridge style. I have never had any luck with cartridges and I have gotten them in products that I purchased when I just wanted the batteries. I would leave them in the box for the zombie apocalypse and work on getting the clearos going.

The site doesn't say what the batt voltage is, but it could be anywhere from 3.5-4.2 volts off the charger. It also doesn't state if it's regulated or unregulated. Regulated means that it delivers the same voltage from beginning to end. Unregulated means that it starts off at like 4.2 volts and slowly drops to 3.5 volts or so before it needs charged.
I do like the fact that it doesn't have a cut-off limit.

My wife started off with the smaller batts, but they were unable to charge fast enough for her so I got her a 1100 mah KGO and she gets about 8+ hours of vape time from them. They are considered a fat bat and she loved them, especially since I got her the pink ones.

Here is a review of the KGO and some info on cartridges also....

Thank you again Kind Sir. The original kit I purchased came with the 1100mAh batts I mentioned earlier on, they are the paisley multi colored ones and super gorgeous. Like I said before, her hardware is fantastic. She has beautiful girly things for us ladies that like to feel like princesses.....giggles. Really though, the 7 Stars kit is amazing. It makes me feel like using one of those old fashioned cigarette holders save the stinky smoke and very pretty shimmery jewel on the end that changes colors (7 different ones) every time you take a hit. The only bummer is that because the batteries are so much smaller, they only last about 2 hours of continuous vaping.....what can I say, I'm a chain vaper but when I get dressed up and go out for the evening, they are stunning and both batts last me all night. Oh my, ramble much? Thank you again ❤

As for ohms, that is the resistance of the coil and the vape depends on the combination of the battery volts and clearo ohms as to what your particular wattage is. My wife like a cooler vape, so I get her devices that are 2.4-3.0 ohms for her 4v batt.
She recently moved into the variable voltage batts and now she can just adjust her voltage to her desired watts no matter what device is attached. We both just adjust the voltage to the taste of our juice really.
This is a area that you will have to experiment with to see what wattage you like. Many juices are also affected by wattage as certain notes can either be enhanced or burned away.
Here is a ohms law calculator that will let you play with numbers....link.
Just input the batts volts and clearo resistance and it will calculate watts.

I hope this doesn't seem like information overload, but if it does, give it time and it will make sense later down the road.

Not at all (about information overload). Yes, it will take time for it all to completely click but I'm pretty tech savvy so I'm not too worried, it's just so new to me. You rock....thank you for all of the info and should you have anymore, please feel free to hurl it my way ❤

Ahh, that's right...you will have to forgive me, it's 3:30 am here on the East Coast and I'm feeling partially brain dead...lol.
Yes, I know all about those girly batts, I was about to get the wife a couple and she talked me out of it. I think she didn't want me to spend the money since we already have 10+ batts laying around. Of course she wasn't complaining when we lost power for a entire week due to a storm and she was able to vape the entire time

I love steeljans vid on the 1.5ml ce3, she sells the hell out of them.

lol it had to be said, I watched that vid too and it was definitely one of the reasons I picked up a pack. I wish I had better results though

The CE3's work for me with a few adjustments.
I trim the wicks at a 45 degree angle and rock the outer tube slightly, which will raise the inner tube.
This increases juice flow and you should see air bubbles every time or every other time you take a vape if you have it adjusted.

Until they make a mass produced device that has adjustable air & juice controls to meet everyones needs, I don't mind trying to make adjustments. I have seen some rebuildables that have these features, I just don't remember which or where atm.

I've since trimmed the wicks in the clearo that worked and that seemed to help a lot, its not bad and vaping great now. My only issue is that the box of 5 came with 4 duds:

2 leaked no matter what I did with them, and I mean full on leaks. I lost a lot of juice

1 would not fire at all even with post contact and my ego batts gave me the 3 blink short lights.

1 was perfect, with thin juice. when changed to thicker juice it had wicking issues.

1 just tasted burnt all around from the get-go.

When I went to trim the wicks on the two that did work:

1 the coil was burnt so badly into the wick it was unrepairable without a new wick and coil. I think it the coil was initially wrapped around the wick way too tightly, I couldn't even seperate or distinguish the coil wraps it was just a pile of burnt mess in the center.

1 Works excellent now. Vaping BWB's Honey Flue Nut dated 11/29/11 - What a surprise to find this in my stash. Yum.

When these work, they work AMAZINGLY well! My husband bought a box shortly after I ordered mine, He had no issues from the start and fell in love immediately. He says he will never buy another kind of carto again.

I think there is a learning curve with these.
Here is a older post and hopefully some helpful information....link.
BetterLifeTech ships these with a lot of antibacterial/shipping fluid, some have more than others, but I think it's important to clean them prior to use so you get good flavor and wicking.
