Gave up vaping sadly..

[ltk31]

Well as some of you know from my posts a while back, I switched from my kanger evod to a provari and i have 2 protank 2's and recently purchased an aspire nautilus.

anyways, the problems ive had have drove me back to smoking worse than i smoked before, and now i have $600 in useless junk that i just cannot deal with..

i have 2 protanks that will not stop flooding, an aspire nautilus which produces no vapor, and an igo-w atty that i cannot figure out how to use..

i ordered an airflow control valve for the protank 2 that floods every 30-45 minutes.. the aspire feels like it has no suction and also floods.. dont know what im doing wrong, i was smoke free for 2 months!

im 20 years old, have smoked a pack a day for 5 years and now its almost 2 packs a day, i want to quit again, but trying to get this thing working stresses me out and leads me to smoke even more..

the protanks when on my provari screw all the way down and flood after 4-5 hits, with the airflow control valve screwed all the way down it doesnt make good contact and doesnt work

someone please help me!!!!!

You should really check out YouTube for some answers to some of your tank problems. There are several videos on there that are useful for newbies.

Do you have a B&M you can go to so you can get some face time with someone? Videos are nice but sometimes a real person showing you is much better.

Looks like it is only a matter of fine tuning your attys. I am sure this is a common problem as some do not seem to have any adjustments and although 510 connections are standard, the often differ in their construction.

I have similar problems with Iclear attys that do not make good contact on some of my mods.

... I rather *around with attys than revert to cigar smoking ! Good luck, I hope you find help.

Get one of the new aerotanks, got 3 and they never leak gurgle or anything, they just work and work well. Old Kanger tanks flooding (PT3 and original aerotank) and the nautilus coils being crap nearly had me like screw vaping too, I know how frustrating it gets i broke a nautilus and an SVD, and dented my living room wall

i WAS A PT2 guy. I just recently got the Aerotank and WOW. Try the Aerotank. It's all I use now.

The aspire has an adjustable air flow. Did you turn the bottom of the tank to the biggest air hole? It's very easy to close the air control by accident.

Take it easy, there could be some simple answers.

Things to check:

Are you filling the tanks the same as you did before? Try the device you were using before with the tanks.

Some of the nautilus had some issues, be sure and adjust the air flow control on the bottom.

Did all the problems start when you switched devices?

Make sure you are not over tightening the atty.

Take a deep breath and work one thing at a time to find out what's going on.

There are many people to help you here, but a quick fix is to go to a local B&M. They should be able to see the problem right away.

This is exactly what I was going to say. For the sake of simplicity I'm currently using the Nautilus on my ProVari abs have been loving it.

I gave up on dripping. I like the idea and it may be the bees knees, but even basic tanks are better than smoking.. Right now I'm actually using a bottom coil ce4 or you get the idea.. On my evic mod. Runs smooth that way. Taste is there.. Vapor is there.. Sometimes for some of us, sticking to the basics just works out better imo

 

[ltk31]

im trying as we speak to figure out what ive done wrong anywhere and i cant figure it out.. im just very unlucky. yep using the nautilus ive tried every airhole, the draw is too "airy" if that makes any sense? not enough backpressure?

I hated all the hassles of vaping until I said screw it and just started dripping.

A lot of people think dripping is a hassle, but I don't.
I do, however, think rebuilding atomizers is much too big of a hassle.

If you want hassle free vaping that always works then get a bunch of cheap little 510 atomizers and a bottom-feeder like the Reo.
Or if you want to rebuild your own atomizers then you can get a rebuildable bottom-feeding atomizer instead.

 

[Kracker]

I've gotten so mad I went out and bought smokes...A COUPLE OF TIMES !! I was having a heck of a time with my mech mod once getting hot. I must have rebuilt the coils 4-5 times thinking that was the cause. Had me stumped for 2 days. Turns out it was just dirty and wiping it down wasn't enough.

Hang in there.

Aerotanks are the bomb, the vape so well. Had to lower my nic content lol.
As long we got the vape, u never have to smoke ever again if you don't want to
one day at a time

 

[NathanielFT]

Quick tip with nautilus tho, if its leaking and gurgling hold it upside down and burn for NO MORE THEN 5 secs, a lot of the time that sorted it

Yes agree, find someone who can help you in person if you can, if you have friends that vape or a b&m, sometimes an experienced vaper taking a look over things is very helpful, or you can read and read, watch youtube videos, I prefer the person to person thing if possible, a vaping mentor is golden. You do have a lot invested, so it's just gonna take some figuring out stuff which yes can be a pita at times...these things have quirks and there are many variables that cause flooding, and yes, can be frustrating at times, even infuriating ...you will get there though, we've all had these moments and still do when dealing with new equipment from time to time...it's going to be ok though, don't give up if you're determined to fully quit...I don't use the same equipment as you nor know of your prior issues, but am hoping you find answers and wish you luck

im just very unlucky

There's no such thing as luck. "Luck" infers an event without a cause, which is physically impossible. This is good news, because it means that all of your problems are solvable.

Imagine how screwed we'd be if luck actually existed. I doubt you could solve a problem caused by "magic".

I've been using the Protank 3 for a short time, but I have yet to have any issues of flooding with it. And I chain vape it often. I'll take six or seven long, slow draws in a row with only a second or so in between each. No flooding, no dry hits. I didn't have any issues with my PT2 either.

You should follow the advice of the folks here who are telling you to go to a vaping store in your area so that hopefully an expert could see what's happening firsthand. If that doesn't work for some reason, then I'd follow the advice of people who recommend watching instructional YouTube videos that could help you fix these issues. YouTube vaping videos have helped me more times than I can count.

I hope you get everything straightened out. (Try really hard to) vape on!

I think you are vaping the wrong way the wrong stuff..i suggest you start dripping,go to a vape shop have them build you a single coil for a start,my wife had the same issue when she started vaping FLOODING all the time WHY???
BECAUSE SHE CHAIN VAPE,CHAIN VAPING ON A TANK LIKE THE PROTANKS WILL FLOOD IT 100%
You need to stop buying TANKS SYSTEM, like what I said start dripping..then after that use a tank as an ADV...

As a dual user, I wonder why you wouldn't do both. Vape and smoke. Instead of treating as either or. I smoke a pack every 10 to 30 days.

I use cigalikes (with clearos) and don't have any issues with equipment. Why not go back to really simple equipment while working out issues with the advanced devices, and continue to smoke for as long as that is your desire? I realize there is expense to all this, but at 2 PAD smoking, you'd easily come out ahead after 30 days if you added vaping (simple equipment) in the mix.

I believe that is not a strong enough reason why you should quit vaping.. Sometimes vaping can be confusing and annoying too, trying to figure out the best configuration and the kit that work great together.. But you know what..? That's the reason why there is ECF.. We share knowledge and teach those newb (i'm still newb too).. There is tons of information here, some are boring but some are also useful even in real life (Ohm's law for example for those who are still learning, practive safety during work with battery, and etc)..

To put it short, we pursue for improvement, for better vaping experience and ofcourse better life (leaving analog).. Don't give up.. We are all here for you..

For your leaking problem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJtUSXWzy0Y

Normally there are Vapers gathering, you should check that out.. As the seniors have said, seeing real life is better than video..

Cheers..
