Hi, after taking everyones advice, I upgraded from a cheap cig look-a-like e cig, and got a totally wicked tornado-t (ego c) kit which is totally amazing! I upgraded it 5 days ago with a tw 3.5ml dual coil cartomizer tank which until today, worked fantastic but for some reason, its started to get harder to pull on when I take a drag. I can't see no obvious changes and it's not leaking, and it still gives me lots of vapour but it's harder to achieve as you need to drag harder.Any ideas? Thanks,Chiller.

Do you only have one ego battery and one cartomizer and you have been vaping that one for five days? If so, it is more than likely worn out... Have you tried blowing through it a few times? Also carefully clean your threads on your carto and on your battery with some alcohol. Can you see through the center air hole? If it has collapsed and you can no longer see through... then it is probably unsavable. Some people boil a carto in a saucepan for a few minutes, to clean it out. Then blow all the water out and leave to dry.

Anyway. Most people use one carto for a few days then put in a new one. If you had more than one device and were alternating, it could last longer, but one month on one carto is unrealistic.

Hopefully some other people will come and chime in.

Ah, ok I'll take it back to the shop, I got a 7 day warranty on it so I'll get a new one :D
I was going to get a stardust v3 but I liked the colour of the tank plus its a dual coil version lol

The shop I get them from sells all devices from Totally Wicked at the same price as the website so it's ideal to buy them from the shop rather than the TW website just incase anything fails and needs to be returned.

It also helps that I made friends with the guy by letting have my old 3g internet dongle so he can get online in his shop!

You gave the guy an Internet dongle and he let you walk out the shop with not a single spare carto for your tank? Gee! By the way cartos are cheap and most people buy them for a few $ for a pack of 5. TW's stuff is very expensive, so if money is tight, it will be worth your while to look around a bit.

So far he has give me a free marble effect drip tip and gives me discount on liquids when I buy them from him so its not all bad.

I took it back to the shop, he ended up replacing the carto for free. The new one has 3 holes in it whereas the original only had one. I'm getting a much better vaping experience with this one.
