Just got my first ecig and need help

[mom.wife.nurse.021406]

ok so i just got my first e-cig and i need some help.. I got it from puresmoker.com and I put it together and I just tried it for fun before i charged it and the reg. cartridge that was sent with it I feel is nasty i dont like it... I tried to put my cherry juice in there but it still tasted bad.... I just dont know what to do... and i dont think that I am doing it right... it burnt my throat and lungs... I really want to get the hang of it... any suggestions?

there is what is called primer in the atomizer it will go away. Also if you want to change flavors put it in a new or clean cart.

You were smoking priming fluid. You have to blow out the atomizer (lips to battery end) as hard as you can to get the priming fluid out. Take a shot glass and put a piece of a paper towel in it and stick your atomizer in it (battery end up) and let it sit there while the battery charges. Let the battery charge for 12 hours before you use your ecig no matter how curious you are. You'll be happy you did.

If u dont have high lung capcity find someone who does to blow the atomizer out for you. I blow mine out over the sink.

Follow the advice you are given.

You really need to give those batteries the full initial charge to get the best out of them. Uncharged batteries are not going to produce the full vapor. You will add more liquid to get vapour, flood the atomiser and the batteries. Ask me how I know

Does it gurgle when you draw on it? Was the burning sensation from the taste of the juice?

Put 1 of the batteries on charge for a minimum 10 hours, whilst it is charging stand the atomiser cart side down on a saucer with some tissue underneath to drain all that liquid out. And avoid temptation to use it.

What cig is it? If it is a 901 try and avoid dripping and if you are topping off a cart, just make it moist on top. 2-3 drops is really all you need to add when you top it off. Too much liquid will give you liquid in the mouth which will taste real nasty.

I usually smoke off a regular kit cart and then top off with a flavour of my choice. I know you will want to get stuck in but you really need to be patient with it for the 1st day or 2.

i am glad you guys told me all of this. Cause i was thinking aww gosh i cant do this its too gross... but yeah i only tried two or three puffs and then I put the battery on the charger... and now i am going to let it charge...

 

[Nadia Maximus]

Oh and if you didnt know after the initial 12 hour charge, let it charge 4 hours there after. The instructions and led on charger are both inaccurate.

Primer fluid will distract from the actual taste but out of around 9 atomisers I have currently I have never experienced any burning sensation in the mouth or lungs from them. It sounds like JIM to me.

I managed to kill 3 901 batteries in my 1st week due to flooding with poorly charged batteries and dripping more liquid to get vapor. This is where the saying "less is more" comes into it's own.

Good luck with your new e-cig. I'm sure your experience will be a lot better with fully charged batteries.

As far as I know Puresmoker sends their batteries fully charged and ready to go.

I have had my e-smoke about 3 weeks. First two weeks I just used it off and on. When I started the third week I quit smoking and only use the e-cig.

As for the taste, yes mine had a terrible taste at first. I also couldn’t stand the taste of the included cartages either. I ended up ordering some premium liquid Johnson Creek non PG, I thought I couldn't vape the regular liquid. It worked better for me. Today I just started vaping some of the cartages that came with the e-cig (the ones I couldn’t stand) and they are not to bad. It defiantly took me awhile to get used to the thing. Take your time if you use it a bit today and hate it put it away and try tomorrow. I went 2 days without using it at all, but I was determined to quit the analogs, and the e-cig was the last thing left to try.

i just started and have 901b i find that carts only last 20 puffs? i have to keep dripping juice on them to get vapor.am i doing somthing wrong?

As far as I know he quit doing this a while back. I think it was just a matter of to many going out to charge them all. I could be wrong though.

You're right linkdead.
I got my order from PS last week and it came with a letter:

"If you purchased a starter kit or any new batteries, please make sure to do an initial charge of 10-12 hours., we no longer do the intitial charge here!"

 

[Steph2323]

I am new too and it seems like I am constantly dripping(like every 10 puffs at least). Maybe it's the way that we are smoking them? I take long deep puffs, and I think I read here that shorter puffs are better?

I do the same thing. If you are hitting it too fast the liquid in the carts will not wick into the atomiser fast enough to keep up. I also find I get around 20-25 puffs from a 901 and around 25-30 from an 801 before I have to top off. If you rest it for a while a little more liquid would wick through and you can carry on.

Even if you took all day I would be surprised if you managed to get more than 50% of the liquid out of a cart. I am too impatient to test out this theory though.

And Yes I believe Steve did stop pre charging around a week or two ago, I think I read a post here about it.

It doesn't strain the atomizer as much
