I gotta stay away from...

[Peekebe]

Found a local shop and decided to check it out....big mistake...huge. I asked if they had any tanks and they do for $25 dollars!!!!!8-o Then on top of that she told be that they have a 1 year warranty because they are so prone to cracking. I must have looked confused since she went on about how there is something wrong with the plastic they use so they crack about once every 2 weeks or so. WHAT!!!!!!! So I would be in every 2 weeks to get a new one because the one for $25 is crap. Hmmmmm oh but you can get a crack resistent metal cart wit an exposed coil to drip with for the low low price of $20.

 

[Ferrel1134]

I would hazard a guess that it could be the juice killing the tank or the tanks are really crap.

Hi ocelot, steph, pancake, peek and chelle. Oh I missing a lot of people, hi thread.

just *forget* that there is "better" out there and stop chasing it. Good plan

ok so...i can totally see how ppl get frustrated and give up on vaping....there are too many variables/choices that can muck things up and it isn't like you can fix it without having an arsenal of supplies/tools/adapters that you didn't even know you needed

Perhaps too much is expected from a bunch of little tiny pieces of mass-produced plastic. If they don't work, throw them away.

not every tank works on every PV true
not every carto works in every tank true
drip tips that work on one delivery system but not another... I have 510 drip tips that won't work in all of my 510 cartos. One is US made too.

batteries that are "the best" and batteries that will blow your face off Don't buy cheap batteries. One shouldn't scrimp on things that could catch fire. Scrimp on something else.

air leaks and o-rings and plastic and glass and plastic you thought was glass...Expect a high failure rate. If they don't work, throw them away.

top coil, bottom coil It's good to be able to tell them apart. One you have to keep flipping around and one often leaks more.

volts, ohms, watts Too much overrated information. 2-2.5Ω will work with anything. Start at 3.7v or 6w and dial up to taste.

this juice, that juice, juice that tastes like sour milk and wet socks, juice that tastes like mint flavored dirt perfume I can't help you there. I have 100s of dollars worth of juice and 95% of the time I vape the same flavor I vaped 8 months ago.

I'm mostly serious. I imagine you are frustrated with more than just vaping, but I might be able to help with the vaping part.

ETA: Although Hula's plan sounds really good too.

So sorry! I remember writing a rant post a few months in myself. "All this stuff is junk" kind of thing. Was low on nic. lol.

We all have had "those e-cig days". Hang in there. You have the right idea. Get good with what you have and quit chasing "The Ultimate Vape". Some combos work better than others, but most all work somehow.

Sometimes simple cartos and/or dripping into an atty is the most effective thing. I dripped for 2 years strait just because it's the least problem-prone thing to do. It is more labor intensive (because you have to drip about every 10 hits) but it's the fewest problems and best taste. The only things that can go wrong are 1) Coil burns out or 2) over dripping leads to flooding/leaking. Fixed by experience.

I recommend people keep an atomizer around for tasting juice and also learning to drip so they always have a backup option if the carto-gadget-tank-thingy-of-the-week fails.

I should add I don't drip anymore since I have a Vivi Nova and just build my own coils. So...that's more error prone...but I can basically build it "from parts" so...it's my fault if it doesn't work. But that takes time and experience and isn't something you want to do while having a nic-fit. So...work up to that.

Get ya some "simple stuff". Atty. Drip tip. Some simple cartos...like Boge (if they got over that "bad spell").

 

[chellemmm]

Oh, damne. Do not fret! Just stick the damn thing on an eGo battery, fire up your favorite vape, lock the other stuff away until you feel like messing with it again and have some kahlua and vodka with a splash of cream:

If all THAT fails, take a hammer to it until it starts working!

Nice rant!

You should have a set up that works really well. What is not working right? Messages sent.

Third thing that can go wrong with dripping: you forget to drip and get the WORST dang dry hit you ever tasted! I am dripping right now!

 

[AttyPops]

P.S.
Hope I wasn't captain obvious.
Or boy blunder.
Or Professor Patronizing

 

[Ferrel1134]

I've been having analog cravings real bad. Been around a lot of smokers lately. I feel hottie it seems so easy to light it and forget it. I miss some times watching the cherry.

That's OK. You learn to catch it before that happens. It's a self-correcting training thing. You'll avoid it. Once burnt, twice shy!

 

[Ferrel1134]

Omg only six more to go after this. Time to think of something profound to say.

It's NOT as easy. Or ...if it is...it's expensive and poor quality (like all the pre-purchased cartos and super-mini's that don't last long).

Don't give in. Fight it. I know. Fight it anyway.

How long have you been smoke free?

 

[The Ocelot]

Gurgle good, hiss bad.

 

[chellemmm]

I have a short attention span and am easily distracted! I drip. I like it, then I leak. Then I dry hit. Then I grab the darn clearo and say "screw it." I am glad I have the attys, tho, because I get to try many flavors in an hour, which is also good for my short attention span.

 

[Robino1]

Hottie, I hate that you're going through this frustration.
