Hello everyone I'm Sam. I recently started vaping after smoking about 2 packs a day off n on for the last 25 or so years. I got my first ecig thru an email from a shady, apparently well known scam site. The cig tasted like a burnt camels ... more than a camel and produced about the same amount of vapor. However while researching said purveyors of poo I came across the forum. After checking different vendors I bought an ego t starter kit and some juice.
Now I have a few questions that hopefully the wonderful people here can assist me with. I'm using a ce5 clearomizer with rebuildable atomizer. Every so often ill get a mouthful of ejuice. Now the hurricane vapors simmered tobacco is quite delicious when vaping and it smells amazing, taste however is another matter. Is my clearo defective or does this happen to everyone? Also it seems like the vapor production and draw are way better on the other clearo in the kit, the one my wife got of course lol. Is there that big of a difference in batteries/clearo setups?
You mean like one of these?
That's what I use and generally think of as "CE5" (there's some confusion out there on the CE numbers and not all vendors seem to agree).
First thing is take it off the battery, get some tissue or lean over a sink and blow it out. Blow into the mouthpiece you usually inhale from. There's a tube down the center that if you get some juice in it, you'll get gurgling and sometimes juice in your mouth. Blow steady but not real hard. I blew mine out too hard once, deflected a bit of juice right into my face. It was very much Not Fun. Stuff burns.
Check the top of your battery where the clearo screws on. See if there's juice on the contacts. Mine'll do that sometimes. Probably me overfilling them. Also, when filling, watch that tiny metal tube looking thing in the center. That's the top of the air tube that runs down the center. It's easy to get some juice in there if you try to fill to fast.
Definitely use some tissue to dry the battery top contacts. And the bottom of the clearo. Sometimes, no matter how careful you are, you get some in that little air tube. It happens. Watch your fills. They take 1.6ml but the actual "guide" is where the little wicks enter the coil head. Just beneath the rubbery white looking widget the mouth piece pushes up against? Since you "tilt" the PV when you take a drag, if you fill too high, you'll get some juice seeping into the coil head and get the gurgles and all.
Other thing to watch is as smokers, we all were used to a deeper inhale to get the smoke into the lungs. With vaping, the absorption of the nicotine is in the mouth (and nasal passages if you exhale through the nose as I do most times... picks up more flavor and nicotine that way). You don't need to draw as hard. It's a more... relaxed thing. You don't actually want to pull the vapor into your lungs (lungs often get irate over watery stuff getting in them, mine get real mad at me and make me cough pretty hard
). If you draw on the PV like smoking a cig, you could be sucking some of the juice right off the wick.
The better inhale for vaping is also the one where you get the most taste. So slow it down and, oh, "savor" the taste. I know as a smoker, I was trying to get the nicotine in my lungs and in my blood stream quick. So I did deep, strong drags on my cigs. With vaping, I had to pay attention at first. Slow it down, give the wicks time to draw the juice to the heater coil and vaporize it and all.
