Hello everyone, I'm hoping you could help suggest some fixes and or alternatives to what I've been encountering. Let me start off by saying I got off into e-cigarettes around October of last year. I purchased an e-cigarette at a "Smoke shop" for my sister last September and immediately she was enamored with the thing.
It was a eGo-T battery with a Vision V2 cartomizer. It worked rather well, great vape action and throat feel, it actually was a decent replacement for smoking. So I got the bright idea that I'd go online and get a better deal.
So I placed my order and ended up with the same eGo batteries but ended up with a stainless steel tank cartomizer with two holes punched in the bottom, I ordered several ranges from 1.5~2.8 ohms. I can't really remember now.
They worked initially rather well, but I just didn't seem to get the same quality of vapor that my sisters Vision V2's got. Also they wouldn't last as long, she'd go for weeks on end, and I'd blow through a cartomizer in about a week or so, the odd thing is I don't even use the e-cigarette as much.
So after getting super jelly, I go to the same smoke shop and buy a Vision V2 clearomizer, only problem is they sell these for about 15 bucks a pop. It was kinda worth it. It would last for about two weeks then fizzle out then I'd buy another coil for seven or so bucks.
I finally had it with the local smoke shop and placed an order for what looked like Vision V2 clearomizers, and a bunch of V2 replacement coils. Horrible luck, didn't last as long and they turn the ejuice almost black after a few puffs or so.
So I resign myself to buying name brand, well you can't find the V2 any longer, so I tried the V3 with the four wick configuration, that stinks too!
Fast forward 9 months and I've got a veritible grave yard full of clearomizer bodies, drip tips, coil resistances, stems and god knows what else. I just can't really find a consistent, reliable smoke after trying all these different versions what have you.
What's worse is that the clearomizers from the smoke shop which were reliable are starting to get bad now, they have a burning smell to them like they're not producing just vapor any longer. Sometimes I take a drag and I get the feeling there's other products besides just PG/VG vapor getting produced.
Does anyone know of any cartomizer/clearomizer that consistently works well and lasts a decent amount of time? The other thing that would be nice is that they produce more than one initial run of said clearomizer.
It seems the nature of these e-cigarette parts since they're cranked out in China is that as soon as one design hits the scene they stamp out about a million of the things, then the next fad comes out and they're tooling up for the latest clearomizer fad. Then you go back online to find replacement parts for your original purchase and you're out of luck because no one's producing that model any longer.
I understand the e-cig phenomenon is in it's fledgling stages but the supply channel issues are like out of this world!
Maybe I'm doing something wrong too, there is that. Is there some kind of clearomizer maintenance regimen I need to undertake routinely to keep these things from flooding out or stop burning up?
I'm at the end of my wick!
HELP!

I buy the tank from Valley vapes and the cartos get cheaper,if you order 5 boxes at a time. They are prepunched. NOW occasionally you will get a bad Carto that will leave a bad taste in your mouth,but that is few and far between. Their is a video,on Vapedudes,that show you how to use the tank and prime. Priming is the key. I clean the cartos with steam,from my espresso machine,steamer tool. I have used these tanks for 7 months and they are wonderful and can take any liquid you put in it,citrus,licorice,cinnamon. The boge carto will gum up with darker liquids,but that is the nature of the beast,but Flavor is great. good luck to you and happy vape trails. Oh the Vamo with these tanks will blow you away.
