Is it my setup or my juice?

[disturbed1]

I just got my new set up yesterday. I got a ego pas-threw and a Vision Clearomizer. I also got some Desert Ship from a E-store I will not mention as i did not have a good experiences with them. Its a 12mg camel juice.
now here is my problem. Im coming from using a pre-filed Cartomizers to a clearo and the hits are a bit harsh. They burn my throat a bit. So is this the juice or am getting a hot hit from the clearo?

Is it a new Clearo?. If so that burnt taste is probs the "priming" juice thats on the atty from factory.

I sometimes get harsh hits when the tank gets low and it can't keep up with wicking. Tip it from time to time to help it along. Once they break in you will love it. Like jake said probably not the juice not on a regular ego passthru at least.

Its not a taste it a harsh burn in the back of my throat.

I always had problems with clearos giving me dry hits (which would burn my throat). Is it every hit you feels this on? Or will you get a couple good ones and then the dry one? I would guess it has to do with the wicks.

I get a few good ones then a few bad ones but didnt get this with the cardos at all the just dont holed enough. is there a better option for when im on the go ?

Clearos can be harsher. Best to turn down the voltage if vv, but for a PT... just make sure you tilt it upside down and keep it wet.

You didn't say what ohms and what volts, so IDK how else to tell. Clearos are usually top coil, so the coil is very close to the mouthpiece. Make sure you pull off the end and use a plastic atty cart (with filler removed) or a drip tip to give you some "cool down" time in the draw too.

Good advice from AttyPops as usual!. ECF guru is a good title to have!!

Another thing I thought is maybe the nic is to high for you?, as I have noticed in my breif DIY adventure that the higher the nic the harsher the hit.

It's a 2.8 ohm clearo....I'm new to this so excuses my ignorance. But pull off what end? The mouth peas?

If the coil is new, it could just be part of the 'breaking it in' phase. If not, you might be dry burning a bit, definitely make to wet the wicks if your tank is low. If it keeps burning your throat after a while, you might want to switch out the coil and see if the new one does the same thing.

Good luck, let us know how things progress.

yes, I think he means pull out the rubber cap on the mouthpiece side and use a drip tip(longer, bigger hole mouthpiece) as it will let the vapor settle down a bit coming off the coil.

I had similar problems with clearomizers way back in the day, the drip tip definitely helps but ya gotta keep that coil wet. good luck, have fun

Vision's are notorious for choking the wicks, so don't screw down the mouthpiece all the way, but just enough to keep it secure.

Since its top coil, make sure you flip it over and let it rest for a second or two often

^^^^ Yep.

IDK if that's a 5 volt PT or a standard PT (one with a battery). 2.8 ohms is plenty cool for the 3.x volt PTs. For 5 volts, it's warm but not too hot usually (but with a top coil could be too hot). I usually try to run 3.0 to 3.2 ohms at 5v for example.

And yes, the end piece. On mine, it's a white cap with a hole in the center. Pull it off with a bent paperclip and put a plastic cart or drip tip on it to make it longer/cooler. After it "wears in" it may get a little cooler too has gunk builds up on the coil/wick.

And not any ignorance on your part, no excuse necessary! That's why this forum is here!

EDIT: eGo PT should be cool enough...use the tip and see if it helps.

Thanks for the help...would a tank work better ?.....if so what works best on an ego?

 

[AttyPops]

Well, Tanks are tricky things too... and many use clearos. lol. Others don't they use bottom coil cartos, others have rebuildable wicks and coils, but most of those are on the top too.

I'd say to start with... find a carto and/or clearo that you like 1st. Then with that experience, move into tanks. Tanks have their own issues. Just my opinion. Others may chime in with tank recommendations and a punched bottom-coil carto or different ohm top coil.

It's just that I don't often recommend tanks to people as a solution to problems, unless the problem is "____ doesn't hold enough juice". Otherwise they can multiply the problems and the mess.

Okay thanks for the help
