Getty Ready to Give Up

Someone please help me. I really want to stick with the vaping, but I can't seem to get anything about it just right. I can't get the blending of juices to get just the flavor/strength and throat hit that I want. Nor can I get the cartomizer refilling down. I over fill it or under fill it. I have already wasted so much juice, so many cartomizers and so much of my time. I need help pleeeeeeease! I tried the condom method to refill, I dried dripping and am not having much success at all. Now I have already invested so much money in this I want to stick with it, but I am so getting ready to go back to analogs.

I have actually enjoyed vaping more than smoking since I started but it's just getting so frustrating.

Oh and in case you couldn't tell by the desperation in my voice, I am just a little new to all of this. Maybe about a month in.

Gosh! I sure wish I knew what cartomizer/e-cig model and e-liquid (supplier, flavor, and strength) you are using.

As for filling/refilling cartos (whether Kr8 or 510), I usually use a drip tip and keep dripping until juice starts seeping out the battery end. Sometimes I carto cap it (i.e., condom method) from the battery end the same way, i.e., until juice starts seeping out the mouthpiece end. Dry off both ends and screw it into the battery and it vapes fine for me.

My favorite Kr8 cartos are the Bloog Maxx Fusion and Smokeless Image VOLT (virtually identical; the VOLT is slightly less expensive). My favorite 510 carto is the Smok Tech Mega Dual Coil: best price I've seen at this time is from LiteCigUSA. And I know that the Boge 2.0 cartos are very well thought of.

And then there are the huge capacity (3+ ml) cartomizer models, like Leo, GoGo, and Echo. Great flavor and vapor, but not as much TH (they're higher resistance). On those, I drip e-liquid around the insides of the mouthpiece end (trying to avoid the center, but I don't obsess about it) until it starts to seep out the battery end.

As for e-liquid nicotine strength, try one notch lower (if it feels like you are ODing) or higher (if your cravings aren't being fully satisfied) than you are vaping now. TH is influenced by that and by the battery voltage and atomizer resistance. Those cartos I recommended should hit nice and hard.

Advice on flavor would require more information from you. [BTW, don't hesitate to PM me for follow-up.]
