Hi everybody, I need a little help

[jwhite242]

I bout a smoke stik from a shop down the street. Is this a good one to start out on?

Im having mixed thoughts on the purchase is there a way to check if its a new model , I puffed on one cart for 2 days and stoped when it tasted a little like melting plastic i opend up the cartomiser and there was a fiber straw starting to melt and turn brown/black also the coil wic thing was black .

should I continue with a new cartomiser refill it of just purchase something esle I probably cant return it

Hi Jwhite...welcome to ECF!

I'd toss the one you were using and get a new one. The thing about cartomizers is you have to make sure they always have plenty of eliquid in them. You should check before the vapor production/flavor gets too low and drip more eliquid in. I think the Smoke Stik is a decent product, but you might want to look around the forum for a better, less expensive e-cig...there's a lot of info around here.

Good luck!

You should never vape it down to the burning stage. You can refill cartos but you should refill them more often when the flavor starts to fall off refill it. Mine last anywhere from 2 hrs to 4hrs. if I'm not vaping heavy.

Hi, may I suggest some reading? Here's the relevant thread, the last 20 or so pages deal with the 4081 cartomizers and how to use them, where to get them and how they compare to other cartomizers on the market. You'll also find there a link for ECF forum members to the SS website, 20% off cartomizers and batteries.

Burning Cartomisers? Dangerous?-E9/VK/bloog/totem/808/DPV9/Smoke51...etc

There is also some information about the product on their subforum:

SmokeStik

Should take you a couple of days to absorb all the info therein.

In the meantime, get some e-liquid pronto, and don't even try to use your cartos without a bottle in your hand. The 4081 cartos are great, but they need to be refilled early and often, like all the other cartos, to function properly. Most of the prefilled cartos are somewhat underfilled. When you take a new one out of its wrapper, take out the white end cap, add a few drops of your juice, and make sure that the center airflow tube is centered. If it is not, the carto will burn after a few puffs, even when saturated.

Good luck. If you have any more questions, ask here on on the "burning thread."

I switch out my carto as soon as I detect a slight change in flavor. I fill a box at a time and refill those when I'm down to my last one. I find this so much easier than dealing with carts and carrying a little bottle around.

Looks like I was wrong about Smoke Stik being a "decent" product. I hadn't read that thread re: Hendu...that is gorgeous!! Thanks for the links.

 

[jwhite242]

how do you remove and clean this thing i cant even remove the filling because the coil is sideways and gets snged on the filling and some one tell me again how pollfill doesent burn i burned some of the fill with a lighter and it smokes and dissapears the three weave tubes turn red and melt a just a little
I do want this thing to work good but the smoke is very harsh in my mouth i tried filling it with juice and it did not get better i tried dripping onto the coil with no stuffing and the vaper was a lot smoother but juice got on my lips

 

[jwhite242]

My question now is whats this filling and insulator tubes made out of and whats the harm in smoking them

hmm, throat hit. isnt how much polyfill you inhale is it

 

[CaptJay]

lol no - you shouldnt be inhaling ANY polyfill - the TH is the 'pinch' feeling at the back of the throat - it comes from nic level and PG content in the JUICE.
As for inhaling anything other than juice vapor - why would you?
