apologies for the wrong forum as I'm only able to post in this one (even though I had an old account years back) I mostly lurk seeing as most questions I have are already answered.

So I ordered the e-go 510 clearomizer kit, and some extra juice(The juice was supposed to be chocolate covered strawberry but it just tasted like redbull). Everything came as expected. All but one of my clearomizers was broken and leaking and they were not fitted correctly (two of them completely came apart. The extra clearomizer they sent with the juice was also broken. They're all cracked and the one clearomizer that DOES work now tastes burned like smoking a .... thats down to the filter. It's a rather nasty taste. Then comes the extra battery. It's stuck always on including the light so whenever I put in my clearomizer it is constantly on. So I have one good battery and a burned clearomizer. I emailed the supplier and they responded! Rejoice! They completely ignored the fact all my clearomizers we're broken. Just told me to reset the battery. (I even emailed them pictures). Didn't work. Still broken battery, always on as usual. They have not responded to my emails so I've come to terms with the fact that I was burned by the supplier much like my clearomizer. Never doing business with them again.

I'm looking for something I can use with my 1050mAh battery. I really like a good taste and good vape and I was sick and tired of dripping with my old 901/801 systems(hence I was suggested using clearomizers) Even filling a clearomizer was a pain in my .... but it I had to fill it less but I didn't get the best vapor.

So now I think I should go for a "designed for" drip system so I can get the best vapor. I'm open to trying clearomizers again but I'm NEVER ordering from Gotvape? again and I'm worried if I do it again I'll eventually get a burned wick taste after a few times of use.

I'm also looking for a good juice supplier that also has a variety of 510 parts I can use with my remaining battery because I can't afford to buy a whole new kit. A juice supplier with something other than 20 different tobacco tastes or weird names I can't even decipher what the hell it will taste like. Just basic stuff like cherry, strawberry, cinnamon bun(my buddy had this and it was delicous, I haven't been able to find it)

Can anyone help me out?

Yes clearomizers crack and sometimes fall apart - a fairly well known issue with clearomizers. You take your chances when you buy those things. They are meant for tinkerers, not new vapers. Clouds of Vapor sells replacement tubes for them.

Joye 510 stuff - HARDWARE vendors I use

LiteCigUSA.net
Cignot.com
Liberty-Flights.com (and press the 20% off)

All three of those carry real Joye 510 and real Joye Ego. Two of them carry the Boge cartomizers I use. I know Liberty-Flights.com has a bit of a warranty on batteries (not sure about atomizers). I recommend them for Ego and Riva 510 stuff.

When I want JUICE, I use juice vendors. FreedomSmokeUSA.com, Tasty vapor, Juicy Vapor, Velvet Vapors, Purevapes, Vixen Vapor, Voidmist, Vaporbomb, and many others. And you are going to hate some juices. Some you are not going to think taste like what they are. It is very subjective. There is probably someone else who loves every juice you hate. remember to smell the vapor. Most of the flavor is in the aroma since your tongue can only taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami (MSG).

For tanks and reservoir cartos - I think those like 20-30% VG though some can using other thicknesses

For stuffing cartomizers like Boge I get the longest good performance with thin clear juices, 20% or less VG, light colors that leave little or no flavoring sediment

I found this on their site: Returns accepted on items if defective within 72 hours. Did you contact them within this time frame? If so, stick to your guns and have them replace the defective battery and let them know that if they choose not to honor their terms then you will contact your bank/credit card company.

I like the new ego mega duel coils that are sold at madvapes. I like it cause it has lots of vapor and the flavor is good. I'm done with little cartos they just weren't for me. For juice go to the ejuice or vendor thead for reviews or coupons.

You could salvage your clearos/fluxos if you want. Most local pharmacies sell 3ml BD Syringe. Get some of these cut them to length, replace the original with them and you have a durable tube. They are my favorite carto after doing that along with some other tweaks and last forever with regular cleaning but out of the box they pretty much suck and most of mine are already cracked before I look at them.

Listen to the mouse. She's been there and done that.

Solid advice - exactly what I did to my clearos. Still going strong with 'em.
