HI there everyone, i'm new to e cigs and found that the itaste has good
reviews and is recommended for a newbie like me. I do have some doubts about it, hope someone could guide me on this .
1. I see that this product as some adapters like 510 etc what is that actually?
2. what are atomizers and are they important?
3. what are refillable tank carts?
4. what is a Clearomizer?
i see some sites offer the starter kit with refillable carts and on some sites, they offer the kit with a clearomizer. which one should i get?
Also i heard that some e cigs would drip or leak? does the itaste leak?
Thank you
Hi, and welcome to the world of vaping. I just got an itaste VV V2 myself and while I'm still relatively new, not really a newbie. I'll try to answer your questions.
1 - There are two major thread systems used in vaping, 510 and 808. 510 is the most popular by far but there are a number of vendors who offer 808 threaded equipment. The threads I am talking about allow the cartomizer or other delivery system to be screwed onto the battery for use. One major difference for the two systems which makes it very easy to identify which is which is that a 510 battery has a male connection while the 808 battery has a male connection.
2 - Atomizers are the part of the ecig that produces apor. It is a coil of special wire wrapped around some form of wick material similar to a candle or oil latern wick. When the battery is activated the coil heats up hot enough to vapoize the liquid that is supplied by the wicks.
3 - Refillable tank carts, in the case of the iTaste, are a system where liquid is put into a small tank that holds about a milliliter. On one end is a mouthpiece and on the other end is a small "flapper" style valve that keeps the tank liquid tight until used. The tank is square, in this case, which matches the tank/atomizer holder head on the iTaste. To use it, simply press the tank, flat end down, into the head of the iTaste and vape. I will say it is a good idea to put some liquid into the tip of the atomizer before using it the first time to aid in feeding liquid into the atomizer from the tank. I will also say that, in my opinion, the iTaste tank cart produces some of the best flavor of any delivery system.
4 - A clearomizer is a self contained liquid storage system with a built in atomizer and wicks. In the case of the iTaste, the clearomizer is filled with about a milliliter of liquid using a syringe to inject the liquid. Some people find this to be too much trouble or don't like the idea since it has drug use overtones in their minds. Again, the iTaste system delivers excellent vapor and flavor.
The one you should get is the one that is best for you, an indeterminant answer I know. I would suggest the tank carts since they are easier to refill and can be refilled anyhwere as long as you have a bottle of liquid with a drip nozzle with you.
I haven't experienced any leaks or drips, of any significance, with my iTatse equipment. Some people may have, especially possible if the flapper valve in the tank wears out which would allow liquid to escape.
A few general observations regarding liquids. If you are looking for an exact replacement for a specific cigarette or cigar flavor, good luck! Vaping does not "taste" exactly like smoking since the liquid is heated to the point of vaporizing and there is no burning as in a cigarette or cigar. After five plus months I have found a mix that I like and I mix it myself. Order sample packs, if available, from reliable liquid vendors until you find a flavor you like.
Just my opinion, worth what you're paying for it, your results and mileage may vary, no warranty or guaranty is expressed or implied.
