i think im doing it wrong

[Rymah]

so brand new to vaping and loving it, the one complaint i have is that when i Exhale the vape i get a privkeling/burning on my tonge and roof of my mouth... im using an EGO-T if that matters.. any suggestions is that how it is supposed to taste?

also all the directions say "do not over fill" the tank how full am i supposed ot fill the tank?

i just hav a feelign im not getting all out of my vaping experiance that i could get..

any help would be awesome.

I have the ego-t and I have found that if you draw too hard you will get juice and that burns...so take it easy with your draw and see if things improve for you..

I take long easy drags and all is good..

You might want to hit the button 2 or 3 seconds before you take a drag....

thanks Wendall ill try takign it ezer next time.. anything else i should keep in mind when using the Ego-t

at high watts you can hit like an analog...1/2 second draws...but low watts...keep it nice and smooth and prime it like wendallb said^^

I have an eGo-T as well and I agree with wendallb, chances are you got some juice in your mouth.

After each tank refill, I make sure to wipe the outside. It seems I have a lousy aim or I get some juice on my finger most of the time. Because of that, I have paper towels EVERYWHERE!

The second thing I learned quickly is to invert the tank (after I refilled and closed it). If there is the tiniest leak, you need to change the tank or re-close it properly. Otherwise...juice eventually leaks into your mouth every time you draw on your E-cig.

Finally, I saw some Utube skids that recommend you remove the guard in the tank (it's a little flat piece on the mouth side. It said that it improved the draw / taste. After using the tank for a while, I can tell you that it is very useful to catch juice when you draw a little too hard...

Whatever you find to be the problem, let us know. It's always good to keep learning

Good luck

As suggested, take slow and easy draws then inhale.

I never fill the T more than 1/2 - 2/3. I find that if you leave a little air up top it wicks much better.

I have the Ego Tank system. What you should do is make sure that your tank isnt empty of eliquid. When your atomizer is dry, you get that metalic burnt taste you are talking about. You can take your tankomizer off and blow it out. Blow through the side with the threads on it. Get all of that old eliquid out. You may be surprised that the eliquid may be a different color now that it is burnt. Try this and see if it works. I personally had very high hopes for the tank system but was extremely disappointed with it. So to fix this, I purchased a couple of low resistance atomizers and a drip tip. I can say that the difference is like night and day. I love direct dripping now! The taste is unbelievable and it produces tons of more vapor!

If you are using 100% PG juice, the nicotine in the vapor may irritate your mouth. When I started I had to use juices with 30% because the nicotine in 100% PG made my tongue sore. Having some VG in the juices smooths/dulls the TH and irritation of nicotine as well as the flavor and adds more visible vapor. Tanks like 20-30% VG juices.

ok so i think i figured out what i was doing wrong with the juice in my mouth i'm now having an even more annoying problem them i'm getting like half the vape i was and there is NO throat hit.. i took the guard out and this helped a little but not much. i cant figure this out and im getting really discouraged... it was working great all weekend and now nothing!!

I tried my regular drag (like how i was doing and getting juice in my mouth and even that is not helping

i just finished charging the battery and that didn't help

Ive gone from 25-30 ciggs a day to 1-2 so im super happy about that.. but i don't know what im gonna do is this doesn't start working properly soon...

Well, it wouldn't hurt to have a backup for dripping while you figured it out, just getting a regular kit that would take 510 attys or cartos like the eGo does, for the times you get frustrated and need some nic.

 

[Rymah]

acctually just ordered one lol. is it a cleaning issue? do i need to drop the atty in warm water or somthing maybe?

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Rubbing alcohol soak, 30 minutes or so, then rinse with warm water until the water slowly flows through, let dry for a few hours, and then re-priming should do the trick for a lot of attys. For really bad ones leave them overnight in the bath.........

 

[Rymah]

Pro thanks man, will do that tonight..

Never tried this with the T, but one thing that helps me when I'm trying to fine tune a cart plug for my atty/cart combo is to vape it upside down. See if you can burn a little off and get some good vape in the mean time.

If you are getting juice in our mouth, it means that more juice is coming out of the tank than is being burned. I've never had this problem with the T, but logic would tell me that if that is happening you have a cart that is out of wack, or a wick that is acting up.

To troubleshoot those, first take out your cart (or turn it upside down) and see if you can burn some off. Then I would start with a new cart and just about 10 drops or so to see if you can get it going without flooding it.

If that doesn't help, you could have wick issues which are beyond me. I'm sure there are plenty of posts around here that talk about how to deal with them.

And as previous posters mention, cleaning never hurts. I guess it is possible that it is so dirty that you're getting no burn and also drawing to hard, thus the juice in your mouth. I would think this is the least likely because usually when mine is dirty I'm getting no vape, but no juice in my mouth either.

Hang in there. I'm still looking around for the perfect vape, still trying different things. Early on things will be good one second and junk the next. And relax, hey it isn't going to hurt to have another analog. I still have bad days with the ecigs and I've been vaping for almost 2 years. You're on the right internet site, doing all the right stuff, keep on keeping on.
good luck

I got in to such fights with the tank systems that I just gave it all up and got a replacement cone to keep the sharp cigar look and started buying 510 threaded low resistance cartomizers. Never looked back. Tanks are leaky and dull the flavor a significant amount, IMO.
