Initial hiccups

[Morticia Locke]

I'm now week three down from 50 stinkies to about 5-10 (I am UK based)

I find my cartomisers get sort of gloopy....the liquid is a thick brown and tastes a bit burnt. I'm using Eco.
I have 2 battery units but they lose charge after a few hours (I was a heavy smoker)
So I have questions
1. Can I clean the cartomiser?
2. will a bigger battery solve the problem?
3. How many cartomisers should I get?

Also...I just realised I smoked loads with my cat in the room, has anyone else noticed withdrawal symptoms from their cat?
Mine seems a bit agitated, or am I just looking for a reason to smoke stinkies?

What size battery are you using? Larger batteries will last longer.

Some cartomizers can be cleaned but most companies don't recommend you do so as bacteria can develop on the wicking material.

When I use a carto/tank I usually replace my carto's weekly. Depending on how often you use it some people get 4day to 3 weeks out of a carto.

My dogs have had no issues. I think you might be seeing things that aren't there.

Thanks lol Its only about a 600 battery I am going to get an 1100 one soon...do you think that will be big enough?

You can effectively boil/clean cartomizers. Just do a youtube search for details. I boiled for months until I realized 1 carto last me for 10 days then I just didn't see a cost/time benefit of it anymore. The more mah your battery it is the longer it will last.

I'd say too much nic. Had that occur to me several times.

1. Can I clean the cartomiser? Yes, but I don't think it's worth the effort.

2. will a bigger battery solve the problem? No.

3. How many cartomisers should I get? How may flavs do you vape daily? At least one carto per week per flav.

...or am I just looking for a reason to smoke stinkies? Ummm, if ya have to ask, then I'd say yes!

Best of luck to ya!

Thanks What amazes me is how I want to know so much about cartomisers lifespan when I was happily just buying stinkies with no questions. I think a lot of this is psychological...I am so happy to have discovered vaping

@Iffy....how well we know this addiction lol...I will order a few more cartomisers

Be a bit careful vaping around your cat, I seem to remember reading PG is harmful to our little friends.

Apparently it's toxic to cat and can cause Heinz body anaemia if ingested, don't know if this includes vaper but better safe than sorry.

I believe pg is only bad for your cat if she/he drinks your juice, as is the nicotine. Obviously keep vaping supplies away from animals and children.

An 1100mah should be fine. A 900mah battery last me about a day and a half so 100 should last you a full day. Make sure you get 2 so you have a spare.

Thanks all ....I will make sure his highness doesnt get to think vape fluid is noms, and I think the bigger battery will be my way forward.
Anything is better for me and my cat than what I just washed out of the net curtains...pretty yeuch

I honestly thought this thread was going to be about the initial hiccups...lol. For the first few weeks I had hiccups constantly from vaping till my system got use to the change over.

I use my cartos for a week and then toss them in a bowl. When the bowl is full I boil them. Then I use them for another week and toss them in the garbage. Oh, after each use I put a little plain pg in the carto and give it a Taryn spin. refill and use again. I use Kanger HC's and an occasional Resurrector. In the last month only one Resurrector has failed. Pretty good luck with cartos this month. Especially seeing as I bought all of them on sale and some were knock-offs.

Just recently I read of a Doctor ( In the States? Connecticut? ) who came up with a sure-fire way to cure the hiccups. Seems you just massage a certain place on the body ( Rhymes with name of 7th planet. ) Seriously would like to know how he discovered this.
