I've made several threads & nobody seems to know the answer.

Ok so 2 nights ago and ever since I started vaping my stardust has worked like a charm. Huge hits that really hit the throat, couldn't take more than a few seconds puff or it would be too big. I'd caugh. I've been a heavy smoker for years and it was really similar throat hit feeling.

Ok so I cleaned my stardust v3 for the first time. I followed a youtube video. After talking to several of you it's possible there mightve been the slightest bit of water. Anyways after cleaning my stardust I dry burned and refilled, it was not hitting as strong, after about 5-10 minutes flavor came back but the vape was thinner and the throat hit almost non existant, basically about the same power puff as a Blu. BTW I am using several Ego C Twist batteries.

Ok so I figured "well, I ruined that stardusts coil" it was okay because I had a never before used Stardust AND a never before used kanger T2. I was going to just learn from my cleaning mistakes. BUT then.. the vapor in my other never b4 used stardust was about the same as the 1 I had just cleaned!!! Where did the strong vapor goooo?? So I figured well maybe that 1 was just faulty... so filled up my Kanger & it was WEAKER than both my stardusts vaping. The smoke was thicker on the kanger tho? NOTE: I never used the new stardust or kanger UNTIL I cleaned my origional stardust an it didnt work, so I was never able to compare the difference until after!

So I let my stardusts dry out after I finished the juice, and I mean 100% no water left. But they still hitting weak.
TO SUM IT UP, before I cleaned my stardust it hit amazing with strong vapor and good throat hit. Now all 3 clearomizers hit weak.
So some of you suggested perhaps my batteries are pushed in, or my stardust connectors are pushed in. I figure anything is possible at this point bought a set of screwdrivers (so I could get the little 1 to push battery up) & some needle nose pliers for the stardust connectors. After fidgeting & making sure both of them are where they should be, it hits exactly the same.

I have ordered 2 more stardust, 4 coil replacement heads, and a viva nova.. now if these don't work when they arrive Friday I will be absolutely stumped. I'd really like to know if any of you have experienced stuff like this... and more importantly HOW DOES YOUR CLEAROMIZERS WORK WHEN THEY ARE WORKING PROPERLY?? Can you take 10-15 second tokes without caughing like how all of mine are now? Or should they be strong enough on an Ego Twist battery where that big of hit would making you caugh hard.. like mine usto?

Are you using the same juice in them as you were with the first one? if you are not getting a satisfying hit or throat hit you could always up your nic level a bit. I have no idea whey there would be suck a difference between your first experience and the latter. I take around 6 second puffs and it is all good. I have never found that clearos "hit" really hard anyways. Hope you get it figured out.

Same juices, same nic lvl at 18 mg.. today however I tried my 24 mg cus it hits so strong... but was marshmellow soft to my throat also!

I guess the real question is do clearomizers generally not hit strong? My stardust did b4 I cleaned it but maybe it was the opposite of broken? Maybe it was just super good?

Maybe you are just getting used to the TH, know what I mean? I can up my nic to 18 from 12 and i almost die due to the TH, but if i vape it for an hour i barely notice it......I don't know man :p

I don't think so my dude. Well I've vaped for about a month now, same juices same equipment. & every single day up to 2 days ago it was always the same.. like I've smoked for years - Heavy smoker. But it's like chain smoking.. in the middle of the chain smoking those smokes barely phase you... but no matter what smoke your on you can't inhale the whole smoke down to the .... in 1 puff without dieing from coughing.. know what I mean? & the big tokes off vaping from b4 were like that... now I can take as big as I want an not flinch.

I figured out early that those "throat hits" are really a dry wick problem and not the throat hit people like. So, you're vaping burn air and it's nasty. Gave up on them because they're so inconsistent. When they work right they're great, but those moments are too few and far between.

you dunno what ya talking about lol.

I dont associate burn tokes with throat hit... some ppl I tell ya lol.

if burn tokes are full of more flavor than I get now, more smoke an better throat hit, hahahahaha then give me nothing but burn tokes

sorry about your troubles... but nothing tasted burn when I usto get TH... burn tokes have NOTHING to do with my situation
