I have 2 chargers,3 batteries and 3 atomizers+high cartridges but getting no hit

[pseudonym]

Hi I bought a kit just before xmas. My first ecig gave a good throat hit I think you guys call it when I first tried it but after a few minutes nearly burnt my hand off...The guys I bought it from sent out replacement parts and after reading on this site I ordered another kit so I have extra batteries/atomizers.

Now last night was my last real cigarette and this moning I have my ecigs ready to start but i am getting very little vapour and I don't think I'm getting any nocotine hit at all as my nerves are shattered8-o

I've charged all 3 batteries since last night, changed each with different atomisers, changed the cartride also. Is there any other advice you can give to a newbie please.

Can you let us know what brand / type you have? Difficult to say what the problem is without some more info

I'm so sorry for the delay. The ecigs I bought are :
Specifications
Model Number DSE901
Power source DC 3 6V (lithium battery components)
Dimensions 119.5(L)x9.3(D)mm
Weight 15g(with battery components)



Hope this helps

OK, if you are getting some vapour, that is a start. Quite often the atomisers are filled with a priming fluid and that has to be vaped away first. This may be your problem but if you have been trying for some time that should have gone. Check the cartridge actually has fluid in it, a new cart filler should be obviously wet.

Can you check that first and let us know what it's like?

One mistake I made with the 901 was, there's a small airhole in the atomizer near the battery end. If you accidently cover it with your finger while inhaling you get nothing.

For me the 901 primer liquid takes from an hour to a day to burn off, refilling your cartridge when it looks dry will help since they are quite thirsty for the juice in the cartridge when new.

No I am sure I'm not covering the airhole

How do I do that Pete? I have opened another cartridge and see inside it has some sort of lint thingy but how do I find out if it has fluid in it?

I don't have any liquid to top up. I only have the high cartridges I got with the kits I bought.

Hell, I really could murder for a smoke right now...

...but if you cover it for a second while draging,you get a lot more vapor.

open another cart and squeeze the liquid out on top of your cart.
i had this too with carts,they are too dry sometimes.

ok I've now put a new cartridge into my 3rd ecig and I can see what you mean by making sure it's not dry. So now this one looks like it has more liquid on it than the other 2 and I'm getting a little vapour but still not much

this is in answer to Pete, I think I clicked on the wrong post..sorry

Are you saying I should cover the tiny airhole? Just for a second?

hey parapo, I do believe I've just had my first hit of nicotine since last night YEAH

I covered the little hole as I took a draw, only for a second, and got vapour and a decent draw...wooooooo hoooooo

Just hope I don't burn out the battery/atomiser doing this but right now I just need a smoke.hehe

i do it very frequently,and never had a problem.

also check if the led lights up while normal draging.
some batteries take forever to light up,and get a jump-start with the closing-hole trick.

Hey man,

Any e-cig takes some breaking in. Keep smoking on it unless it explodes or heats up really hot. The dse901 smokes pretty good and is a great first e-cig. Pretty reliable too, what you have will probably like you 1.5 to 2 months before you need to refresh your hardware supply. Once again, the atomizer likes lots of liquid at first and the primer takes a little while to burn off, depending on how you smoke.
Also make sure that your batteries are fully charged.

Good luck!

Hi
I am using both chargers to keep the batteries charged.
What do you mean by the primer?
Also, as I am using the cartridges, do I also have to buy liquid too?

yes, all 3 batteries light up when I take a drag though I don't get vapour as well, only on 1 of the batteries do I get vapour when I cover the little hole like you told me to.

I'd also like to know that if I left the batteries charging overnight then how long would my ciggy last during the day? As I'm a heavy smoker 20 a day would I need to have at least 2 batteries fully charged.

Also after I have say around 10 puffs, should I disconnect the battery part from the atomizer part every time or can I leave it all together until I need to charge the battery.

Sorry for so many questions

you can leave them together.

as far as battery charging, they say leave it longer on the charger the first time,although lithium batteries don't benefit from this like older ni-cd batts did.

i can't remember how long a new battery last,but after a week you will get 3 hours (maybe 4) heavy vaping.

 

[linkdead]

you can leave the battery connected until it needs charged.
Also buying bottles of fluid and topping up carts is alot more reasonable price wise than buying cartridges. You can also get fluid that tastes alot better than carts, but remember it takes a while for your taste buds to get back to normal so hang in there and the flavors will get alot better.
