Frustrated...

[RIAFlight25]

Do you guys ever have those days where nothin inyour arsenal seems to work right?

Im having one of those days....

My cartos all taste like crap no matter how many times I clean them....

My new 5V box mod is leaking like a sieve, and I only put three drops in at a time. It tastes burnt quick, and since Im vaping at 5V this isnt good... I put three drops in and it leaks...

My ego just doesnt satisfy me like it used to...

Im just ready to give up the whole thing! I know I say that now, but tomorrow I will be back in love. Its just frustrating how much of a PIA these things could be at times. I wish there was a simple solution to my problem that wouldnt cost me a fortune.

Bro, story of my life.

One day I get sick of my cartos, then sick of juice in general, then everything tastes like crap.

I think of it as me just having a "heavy flow day".

Nice to know I am not alone!

 

[smokingisbad]

Yes, about once every 2 weeks or so. I dont now why, but I also have been using a 510 the whole time and need to change to a mod if I ever get around to it.

 

[doots]

I think it happens to all of us.. I have that happen at least once per week..

 

[spiritv]

YES! Having that kind of day today actually. It sucks, and I'm sorry you're having one of those days too.

LoL, Well who knows... maybe we'll end up on the same cycle. That always amazed me when women "Connect" like that. Happens with the flight attendants all the time. No insult to the ladies here, but can you imagine being in a sealed aircraft, 6 miles above the earth, for a 9 hour flight with 8 women on matching cycles?!?!? 8-o8-o8-o

BTW, Born.... have I told you that you are awesome lately?

Dang i get those days sometimes. I drip on my tornado and once in a while every single two hits i get that nasty harsh metallic taste. OR you know whats worse!? When I finally find my "go to" atty that out performes all the rest i have works like garbage! How can they work perfectly one day and crappy the next.. and i do everything the same... ugh.

No, YOU are awesome.

Suggestions:

• Assuming for the moment that you are referring to Kr8 cartomizers, try the new Vapor4Life Premium, VaporNine Turbo, or CigEasy Gold Label Deluxe cartomizers. Definitely superior.

• Try an LR (low-resistance) 510 atty on your eGO.

• Break out and try a penstyle. I prefer the Joye 302, but the new LR 801 atty from NHaler is to die for. BTW, I use penstyle attys on Kr8 batts or 3.7V mods (with appropriate adapter), rather than on penstyle batteries.

• Take a break from vaping for awhile, only taking a hit when you have a serious nicotine craving. [I tend to chain vape and need to do this sometimes.] Higher nicotine juice and/or higher watts are good for such quick hard hits.

I just had my 3rd passthrough in 3 weeks die.
I lost a $400 e- cig contest - 2nd place.
I have 1 battery left.
My laptop hard drive is dying.
My printer won't print - details unknown.
I had another birthday.
I don't think I will ever be able to afford a mod.
I bought my first pack of cigarettes in over 6 months.

It's been a bad week.

I feel your pain, zelda.

And the Bruins lost another game.
I just reread my post and now I'm depressed

 

[Valhalla1]

been there today, every LR atty I'm trying on every ego battery is providing wimpy vape

but there were "bad smoking days" too before vaping, where every cigarette was nasty and I regretted ever starting. then some days they were smooth tasty drags just like vaping. some days my beverages or foods I'm familiar with taste off, too. I think its just normal, maybe something in your body chemistry is off and your tastebuds are affected?

 

[stover.p]

I agree with Valhalla1- I had bad smoke days that I'd light one up and just put the stupid thing out............a sign I should've quit a long time ago! Hang in there everyone, it's almost Friday

 

[Pokeygizmo]

Was there, yesterday. Still there today. I think I'm going to "take a break" and put the PV down (for more than 10 minutes ) as DonDa Boom suggested.

BTW, I use the BB, the XL V4L manuals, the premium V4L cartomizers and have tried all the go-to juice I own; even refilled brand new carts yesterday hoping today would be better...no such luck

Still, it's nice to know it's not just me!

 

[jjrose]

Yes today is one of those days! ARGGGGG

 

[pianoguy]

It's all relative. Just think back to when you'd light up a cigarette and you'd get one of those that tasted oddly like old socks. Or when the burning cherry would wind up between your fingers because your cig stuck to your lips. Or when you burned a hole in your favorite shirt. Or the flint in your last Bic lighter fell out, rendering it useless. Or an overfilled ashtray started to smolder with that disgusting burnt filter smell. Good times.

It's been a bad week.

Go over to the PIF group and we can probably help you out with the e-cig stuff. People will occasionally offer up batteries, PTs, etc. There's a link in my sig.

 

[Kirssstens]

Or those days when you look at your brand new 10ml bottle and think "Holy cripes, I just vaped 3/4s of it in ONE DAY!"

Oh no, tsk tsk RIA, me and my group of girls use Seasonique, we only get our periods 3-4times a year. LOL And don't you attendant types switch around or do you stay in the same groups? Matching cycles would require long-term contact.

+1 pianoguy. I had lots of bad smoking days, and they seemed to be getting a lot more frequent towards the end, with the quality of cigarettes going rapidly down the tubes.

I started making my own simple box mods quite some time ago, so my answer to things going wrong and frustrating vape days, is to take a few minutes out to make a new mod, add a new atty, new cart and off I go to deal with whatever issue my existing ones had later.
