How to stop getting juice in mouth with cartridge

[GJ-Greywolf]

first, got my supply ordered from My Freedom Smokes. Got 3 different 10ml of juice. I have noticed that this problem seems to be getting worse regardless of what I do.

Here is what I'm using: my stainless steel KGO with a 510 LR atomizer and 1ml clear tank cartridge.

Here is the problem: I press button to warm up juice for about 1/2 a second to 1 second and then inhale. I'm using the e-cig in the same fashion as when I smoke analogs, meaning - I am intaking or inhaling just as long of a drag. After about 3 or 4 puffs/inhales, I get juice into my mouth.

Just as an fyi: I got Black Cherry (VG 15%), Chocolate Covered Cherries (VG 15%) and Mocha Coffee. I do like the chocolate covered cherries except when the juice gets in my mouth then I want to put down the KGO and give up and smoke analogs cause that juice tastes horrible.

Please, Please, Please help. I am usually able to inhale one more with the 510 atomizer (regular) before the juice gets into my mouth. Should I stop using the atomizer with cartridge? Should I get a different cartridge? Please, I need to quit smoking analogs and want to vape instead.

I also linked to the actual items that I am using.

Maybe your trying to vape to fast. Take a slow draw. Maybe try cartos instead

I have this problem too with my cartomizers, it is actually condensation that comes into your mouth, i take off the mouthpiece and get it out with a tissue.

 

[GhosT81]

I never have that problem unless I overfill or try draw to fast

Not with what's happening with me. Right when I started this thread, I was trying out the chocolate covered cherries. After only 2 drags of it, I got the juice in my mouth. I had filled up the cartridge just a little over 1/2 full and after getting the juice in my mouth, the cartridge was almost empty. The other times it has been with the minty menthol that I also got from Breez Esmokes and I've had almost the equivalevant to 1/4 of the cartridge in my mouth. yuck. I have even spit out the juice, if that's condensation and that much of it after only a few drags there has to be something wrong. I don't have time to take the cartridge off and wipe it with a tissue. It's much easier to just smoke an analog. There has to be something wrong.

GhosT81, I'm vaping in the same manner and same length of time including between puffs as I would regularly do. This happens regardless of how long between each puff as well. I take regular drags, like I would smoking - not too long, not too fast; just nice and smooth.

heck, this is what I'm seeing: get cheap knock offs that look like a cigg and get no flavor, no vapor, and/or no throat/lung hit or use a better e-cigg and get all the flavor, vapor, th and lh but get juice in the mouth. smoking may be deadlier but much easier.

Its hard to see in the pic of the carts you are using but maybe there is no spill prevention plug in them? There is a spill prevention plug in the eGo-t carts. Yours are on the cheaper side of carts i have seen, so maybe try another brand, or get cartomizers with the filler material in them.

 

[swedishfish]

They aren't bad to use and they are inexpensive but I had that problem too. Maybe we inhale too deeply for that particular cart. It's a good cart to test juice though.

Why not pick up a box of 1.7 cartos from CCV and try them. I think you'll fall in love.

No juice in the mouth and a very consistant vape on your KGO.

Perhaps stop using cartridges. If those clear cartridges are the old Joye Smart Carts, Joye abandoned those pretty quickly. Somebody else was having a problem melting ones that looked like that. However clear things are a newb attractant so you will see lots of slim clear things and most will not work right without screwing with them.

Most people use cartomizers that are not clear. Boge 510 are the most popular and for fat batteries like yours the hotter 2 ohm ones are most popular (though the 3 ohm are more forgiving to learn on). Slim ecigs have to use the 3 ohm ones (or 2.5 ohm if they can ever be found)

Buy something that works, then as a hobby screw around with however many clear things you want. But most of them are cartomizers, not cartridges.

And my suggestion for dragging is press the button is 1-2 seconds early so nice vapor is waiting for you, drag slowly, and just before the end of your drag let up on the button, finish your drag, then inhale.

Ecigs do not make more vapor if you drag hard - you just end up mixing more air with your vape.

If you're close to BreezEsmokes or get fast shipping from them, pick up a box of boge 2.0 cartomizers and a couple of delrin 510 drip tips. You'll be much happier with these than the little carts. Use them to test new juice.

+1 for cartomizers. I was so dissapointed when I got my kit bc of the same problems that you are describing. When I ordered didn't know that there was a difference btw cartos and cartomizers. The cartomizers are much more enjoyable and user friendly IMHO. Carts can hold u over till a box of cartos come in. It's worth placing another order.

use a drip tip that solves the condensation/juice in mouth issue with cartomizers

 

[swedishfish]

What he's using isn't really a cartomizer, and you can't put a drip tip on it.

It's hard to see in the picture but it's almost like cartridge that fits on your atomizer except there's a channel and you inject juice into a little hole that's behind the batting.

I bought a few of these because I think I have to try everything. Definitely better than cartridges but not super consistent and can be juice in the mouth issues like he said. It may really depend on your vaping style because there are people here that like them.

But if you don't, boge or the 1.7, or even dcc might be better for him.

You might try easing up on your draw a bit. Another thought would be to try using a drip tip rather than a cartridge on your atty. Drip a couple of drops on your atty and then take a draw through your drip tip. Depending on the viscosity of the juice you're using, you can usually get about 4-5 good draws from a couple of drops.

 

[GhosT81]

Well I would try some cartomizers before going back to analogs. Just make you don't overfill them. Try boge 2.0 cartomizers I hear great things about them, I'm actually waiting on 2 boxes myself

I got soft, clear plastic cartridges with my kit and had the same issue, plus terrible leaking. The cartridges were completely empty and had removal plugs on the filling end. I cut a filter out of an analog, cut it in half, removed the plug and stuffed the filter in. I used two plugs on one cartridge to greatly reduce the leaking and the "make-shift" fix held up until my order of hard plastic cartridges arrive.
Best wishes and keep working at finding the parts to give you the vaping experience you can enjoy fully. It's worth the experimenting!

I have this problem too with my cartomizers, it is actually condensation that comes into your mouth, i take off the mouthpiece and get it out with a tissue.

This is typically the culprit. In your clear cart, do you see any vapor hanging out in there? On a manual battery sometimes it helps to take a quick puff without pushing the button and clear out additional vapor. On hot carts like lr, they tend to get more condensation buildup, which winds up pooling and tasting like nasty juice.

The extra puff with button off helps, pulling off the mouthpiece and blowing it out helps as well as wiping it out with a q-tip.

 

[GJ-Greywolf]

thanks everyone. I think I will order some cartomizers when I get paid on Thursday. I know I'll have to wait until after Christmas to get them but that's ok. I am also thinking of getting the drip tip and trying my hand on dripping..does anybody know of a video showing this? don't know anybody in San Antonio that vapes, especially this way. I've seen different types of drip tips out there? Anybody new to dripping or have experience with it and remember their first experience? Would like to know what the differences are among them and which ones would be recommended (and forgiving for a newb like me giving the old college try).

for those that know what I'm referring to in terms of the juice leaking in my mouth, do the lr cartomizers have that problem? I may get regular 2.0 cartomizers and lr types.

Charlz, yes I do that and forgot to mention it. When I'm vaping; I press the button for .5 to 1 second (lr atomizer) or 1 to 1.5 seconds (regular atomizer) and inhale in a smooth, not to long of a drag like I would an analog. I release the button near the middle to end of the drag. If I ever do take a second hit within a few seconds apart, I do not prewarm the liquid and first start inhaling and if I feel any th, I wait until it's weak or almost the middle of the drag then release near the end. A single drag takes me about 2 to 3 seconds. I have also learned that there are times that I can take a whole second drag without pressing the button and get the same th, flavor, and about half the vapor amount.

This is why I don't think it's condensation. It does not matter if I wait a few seconds between drags/puffs or even a few minutes. It happens almost every 3 - 4 drags/puffs on the lr and about 4-5 drags/puffs on the regular. It won't even matter if it has been resting overnight.

I also know the cartridge is not being overfilled. This was the reason I wanted the clear - to ensure I don't overfill and also to see when the liquid is almost out so I don't run it dry. The cartomizers do appear to be easier though by the videos on filling them (the condom method).

Trucapri, thanks for the info. I think half a filter may be a bit too much though. Yes, they do have the fill/plug on the end that goes to the battery that you take off and then fill in the hole. I am thinking of doing the suggestion by using a used analog filter and cutting it and then stuffing that area to see if it will work. That way, I hope to enjoy the e-cigg until the cartomizers come in. I really do like the e-cigg/KGO and I rather have the vapor over the smoke. 1) my lungs don't hurt when vaping like they do when I smoke; 2) I don't feel as sluggish or have as many asthma attacks; 3) I like the flavors, they are much cleaner tasting than the menthol smoke; and 4) It just looks better than smoking an analog.

Vapoor eyes er; thanks for the info. I might talk with them to check with others to see if others have the same problem. They are a great place, I love their prices, they are not very far from me so shipping is fast and they have been very polite with me. I don't think it's their fault for them, they may just be as others have stated - not as good of a product in general.

jtracc, a drip mouthpiece with the cartomizer as well? This will help if I get condesation with the cartomizer so I won't have the condensation problem which would almost be as bad as this problem? Any particular mouthpiece you recommend for this? I know it was for someone else that was referring to the cartomizer and condensation so was just interested since I'm looking to go into a cartomizer to solve this problem.

I saw a thread somewhere about refilling a prefilled cartridge. Is this possible? What is needed to do this? I haven't tried as many drags/puffs on the prefilled that came with the startup kit and that could be a possible temporary solution if I am able to refill them.
