I haven't had a cigarette in at least 4 months, but probably longer. I didn't think I would successfully switch to another way of getting my nicotine fix and unfortunately never bothered to remember my quit date lol. I have had my share of frustrating moments of my ecig not wanting to cooperate and resorted to using dip instead of buying a pack. I have been able to enjoy a dip on and off throughout my adult life and never developed any urge to continuously use it, but I guess because I lowered my tolerance to nicotine (.6mg on ecig for a month) the dip really got ahold of me. So now I dip a couple of times a day and use ecig rest of time. At least im not smoking cigarettes. So a word to the wise, be wary of any other form of nicotine lol. I wasn't aware there was so much information and options on the internet for these things... I have a KangerTech T3S cartomizer that I obviously don't know how to use properly considering all of the good reviews I have seen for it. The thing constantly shoots liquid in my mouth, fills my battery area full of liquid, and doesn't consistently give me good throaty hits. Sometimes Ill take a slow drag til the light blinks and barely puff out anything. This led to the dip :p I seem to have better luck with my other cartomizer and have no clue what kind it is, but has a image of a man with a cowboy hat on (I think) and a cig hanging out of his mouth. Not sure what kind of battery I use either. The battery has a usb charger at the bottom as well as being able to charge where the cartomizer screws in. I am not at a place in my life where I am comfortable quitting nicotine (1 step at a time) but was always so distressed about how unhealthy my smoking habits were. I am very thankful that I have found an alternative solution to continue getting the nicotine I feel that I require, while not having to inhale the harmful ingredients of a cigarette. Im glad I have found this website and am proud to add myself to this increasing amount of people in support of ecigs! :) I would have included a picture, but the upload link is broken or the admin don't allow new people to post pics :glare:

Greetings Zach. Just over a week for me with no fire sticks. I too am amazed at all the people that vape these days and all the gizmos available. Can't help with your gear issues. I am still sucking cheap starter kit cigs so I don't know what the good stuff vapes like.

And I never dip (at least with my clothes on).

Lol.. The first time I realized just how popular vaping has become was standing in line overnight to get my mother free Macklemore and Lewis tickets for a Microsoft store grand opening. Smoking wasn't allowed, but half the line of 500 people seemed to have a vaporizer, including me lol. I see them everywhere out here. Unfortunately a section of Jacksonville already passed an ordinance banning them anywhere smoking is already banned :/

Welcome Zack904, sounds like your t3s is flooding. if it is the first thing to check is if the coil head it completely screwed into it's base.Next time you remove the base just give the stem a twist and make sure it's tight. next make sure the plastic cup is still on the stem and pushed al the way down. Those have been the what has cause most flooding issues with my t3's, Good luck and remember it's not the ones you smoke, but the ones you don't smoke that count! or in your case dip

Im still researching all of the info on this site.. I took my thing that has the wick off, put it in a bowl of hot water and let it soak for 5 minutes, dried it off.. Also rinsed out the T3S and cleaned the battery up. Im using the other one for now, and found the website of the local store I bought my products from. I actually have clearomizers, not cartomizers. Still trying to figure out the difference lol. My other clearomizer is a Evod, and my battery is a Ego with a usb at the bottom. The evod seems to work more consistently with me even though it has poorer ratings than T3S lol. I also pulled at the tip of the thing that has wick... The guy at the shop says this helps. It put a little gap between the rubber seal looking thing and tip. Sorry for my limited ability to describe my actions lol. I screw the wick thing tight as can be into the cap it attaches to, and I just screw that snug onto the cartridge part and screw that just snug onto battery.
