Folks, need your opinion. My vendor send me LR atomizers (there was no options, just eroll attys advertised) and when i questioned him he said it should work fine. Well I have tried 3 of the 5 on both of my batteries and i get nothing but burnt taste, almost like its not get fluid. Before I contract the vendor again, is it possible I got a bad batch of attys? Is there anything i could be doing to create this situation. My original attys appear to work fine.

I have a few bottles with those tips, got em in an Aquavapor vMax eLiquid sample pack.. I haven't tried to use them, they're on some of my least favorite flavors. Now I'm going to switch the tops around lol... It'll save me from buying more needle bottles :D

Edited to add: I was actually kind of annoyed at first because these bottles don't stand up in my cigar box like my shorter 10ml bottles. Don't know why I didn't think to switch the tops before... It solves two of my problems!! Thank you!

Can you drip and/or dip with the eRoll?
I haven't done it, but this is just an Ego-C atomizer, and my brother-in-law drips with them all the time.

But with the eRoll is seems you would need to put the drops right on the atomizer spike...
And that means you'd have to take off both the tank AND cone.

Take the tank out and drip a few drops right on the spike - and then put the tank bank and take a vape - or don't and vape right off the cone "don't burn ur lip" and see If it tastes burnt then - if not them u have a feeding issue

I got a five pack of LRs. First one made no apparent difference, second and third ones started right off with that burnt taste even after copious priming and are now in line for a mass Atty cleaning session soon, haven't tried the rest.

I just tried this (vape right off the cone) and what do you know, no burnt taste any more. I havent tried any other attys but it seems this has fixed one of them. Super thanks to you. I already sent an email to my supplier about it :facepalm:, maybe i should reply back and tell them it was user error :)

Edit: Followup. That worked for a few minutes. Getting burnt taste again. This is stupid.

It still might not be the atties fault. Remember you only did a few drops then vaped and got a burnt taste again? well do the process over again and drip more drops on the spike and vape again (if the burnt taste goes away), then you know the atty is working fine - and its the fact that the TANK isnt feeding the atty fast enough. When you drip a few drops on the atty spike, you'll only get 2 or 3 hits before it starts to taste burnt again. so i don't think it's the atty's fault here. unless the wick is either pushed down too far down the spike, or pulled up to far up the spike - it looks like a feeding issue.

I agree but I tried new tanks and different attys, but I still have issues with the 3 LR attys I've pulled out of the package. If the attys where cheap I wouldn't care but 4 bucks a pop yikes.

I'm not sure what the problem is. I know people in this thread have used LR attys with no issues. What I do know is that if I ordered SR attys, and the vendor sent LR attys, I would ask for them to be replaced. I do not want what I did not order. If the vendor refused to exchange, or just told me they would work, I would never purchase anything from that vendor again.

Are they joyetech attys or generic? And are they accidentally type b? Perhaps a difference in spike size could stop them from wicking. But I really am just guessing. Sorry I cannot be more helpful on this issue.

When I received Type B attys from my (former) vendor (they were advertised as eRoll replacement attys and when I emailed them I was told that they should work just fine), I did a little research and everything I read says the LR's tend to burn and the Type B's tend to flood.

Sure enough, my Type B's flooded.

So really, the best bet is to stick with the SR Type A's. The next time I get an incorrect atty shipment I'm returning them immediately.

eRoll Atomizers

eRoll uses the eGo-C "Type A" Atomizers, which is also used in the eCab. These come in both, Standard Resistance (2.2 Ohm) and Low Resistance (1.8 Ohm) variants. SR Atomizers typically require higher voltage... the eRoll outputs a constant 3.7 Volts, which is a high voltage w.r.t. e-Cigs.

For the benefit of a good vape and a longer life of the eRoll we must stay away from LR Atomizers. High Voltage and Low Resistance don't go together very well and can result in a short lifespan of the atomizer, flooding, inconsistent vapour and could also ruin the battery itself in the long run.

That said, using a LR Atomizer isn't dangerous on the eRoll. Just that it'd not ensure a good vape. And as we have a choice, availability in the plentiful, both r priced the same ($21 for a 5 Pack), why digress?

OK. I *know* this doesn't belong here, so i apologize. However, i have no more spoons (anyone familiar with "spoon theory?") - I believe several eRoll fans have also used the eGo "Twist" -

I know someone who said he tried everything (came here, did research) with the twist, and the TH is too harsh for him. He handed it to me today to try, said i could take it home. There was a bit of an emergency and i didn't have time to discuss it at all. So... now i've got this eGo twist sitting here. Cleaned the moutpiece - TH was harsh. Taste was barely there (not shocking for me) but what was there was terrible. Realized he didn't give me a charger. I don't even know how they charge. I know nothing about them, which became apparent when i started taking it apart. I don't understand what the parts are. There's the battery. Then a silver tube that looks like it has a wad of cotton in it (wick i'm guessing.) - Over that was a clear blue plastic thing with the eliquid. Then a hard plastic-meant-to-look-like-metal mouthpiece. I started taking it apart - the fluid spilled EVERYWHERE. I have no idea what this stuff is. Smell reminds me of really bad potpurri from the dollar store. So, cleaning out those parts. Soaked the part with the wick in it in boiling water. Cannot get the smell off my hands.

So - point being - a) at any voltage are the twists known to be too harsh, or is it likely related to the liquid? (He tried changing everything else.) How long does the part with the wick need to dry for? How do i fill it to test with my liquid? If i can make it less harsh i'll either give it back or buy it off him cheap. He's happy with his V2 stick now. Compared to the eRoll - what are the benefits of the twist? (besides bigger tank, longer battery) - In other words, i guess, is this just a piece of crap? If not, can you point me to the most clear concise newbie info for twists?

Sorry. Brain really is exploding. You wouldn't believe me if i told you. Using twist as a distraction for a little bit.

The eGo twist is just the battery. You can 'twist' the very bottom of it to select your voltage level. Hard to tell from your description what was attached to it, sounds like some kind of carto and drip tip, but juice wouldn't have gone everywhere just taking a carto off the battery. Anyway the eGo batteries aren't bad, the twist is nice because they are VV...they key is what's attached to it. Start with 3.7 volts and go up from there.

A twist is just a battery with a twistable voltage setting. How they vape depends on what type of coil/atomizer system you are using. Not exactly sure what you have there from your description, but you should be able to use any ego or 510 threaded cartomizer or atomizer on that.

Yeah the ego twist is an ego first and foremost. So it charges on any standard ego charger. The part with the wicks is not part of the ego twist. You need to know what the ohms are for whatever is on top of the battery (you mentioned wicks so I'm guessing clearo or vivi nova) to know where the voltage should be set. First things first, turn the voltage all the way down to 3.2 and see if it is still too harsh. Then come back an give us more info and we may be of more help.

Edit: ok after more careful reading it sounds like it may be a carto tank. You should still turn the voltage all the way down to 3.2 and start from there. Slowly increase the voltage.
