Just got my V-Tube- Need assistance.

[MissBella]

Ahh, just got my Vtube in the mail with a duel coil tank cartomizer. I must have needed to order the little adapter that goes between the battery and cartomizer (Although I didn't see one on their web site) because I am getting alot of air sound and not as much vapor as I have seen on you tube. I hate to put an order in for just a little adapter so I'm wondering if there is a quick fix until I order more supplies.

I also noticed that my kit came with an atomizer, but not knowing exactly what that is, don't know how I would even use that. There is no filler to absorb any juice. I guess I also needed to order something to go with the atomizer? If that is the case, it's a good thing I ordered the cartomizer separate or I would be running off to the gas station right now for a disposable.

All and all, so far I'm happy. In fact, I have a friend who just stopped by who was fascinated with this and may want to order one himself because he wants to stop smoking.

So basically, how do I get more vapor until I can order this adapter? Also, besides apollo, where can I get good juice and supplies that accepts pay pal? My boyfriend will not use anything but pay pal for online purchases.

Thanks for your help.

I haven't used my atomizer, but look up "dripping" to learn.

Yes, you need an adapter. I'll be back with the part # in a minute.

Got cartos? I use regular LR boge cartos and have SR cartos on the way. Anything 510 will work

I've had this mod for a few months. the atomizer it came with is for dripping, just drip a couple drops in and put on the drop tip. the kit should have included a drip tip as well. I use a carto tank and get plenty of vapor. did you fill the carto as well as the tank? mabe try to turn up the voltage? I don't use any kind of adapter

Pay Pal's policy is that it won't honor transactions that specify tobacco products or electronic cigarettes in the company name or in its description of the merchandise. I've had no problem ordering from Liberty Flights in California, though. It's all about labeling of the product.

If your carto is screwing down far enough to make contact, the cartomizer is working properly. If you aren't getting enough vapor the carto may not be saturated or it may be TOO saturated. If it gurgles, it's over filled and you are hearing juice bubbling in the air stream. Filling a carto the first time is critical. If you don't put enough drops into it, the filler in the coil area (at the bottom) will scorch and taste will be burnt or funky.

Add drops to the top of the filler as long as it will take them. When it starts to pool, stop and let it sit for a few minutes. then add some more if the filler gets lighter. A full carto will stay greyish at the top. White filler means it's low.

The atomizers come shipped separately. You have to have a cartridge containing filler to use them. If you ordered an atomizer it should have come with a mouthpiece that is filled or empty. Walmart sells Polyfill in bags in the sewing department. You will only need a small bag and don't buy one that has a statement on it that it is approved by the State of California. That one will have fire ......ant chemicals added to prevent combustion. You don't want to vape it. They generally have both kinds of polyfill. You just lightly stuff the removable mouthpiece of the atomizer with polyfill, add juice until it pools, and reinsert it and vape.

Hi MissBella. Congrats on your new Vtube. If you are getting a decent draw from your cartomizer, an adapter won't improve anything. What resistance are the cartomizers you are using? What voltages have you tried on the Vtube. Another thing to remember, the vapor you see on youtube is a bit exaggerated as it is being blown right into the camera.

Unfortunately, many here find that the dual coils do not provide as much vapor as single coil cartomizers. If changing the voltage on the Vtube doesn't improve the vape, you may want to try some single coil cartomizers.

The atomizer you have should not have any filler. They are designed to hold only 2 - 3 drops of juice. They are great for testing juices so that you don't have waste an entire cartomizer on a juice you may not even like. Atomizers asl provide very strong flavor and many prefer to vape with them over cartomizers or tanks.

I don't think that using paypal will be a big limitation on your purchases as most venders offer it as a payment option, but probably not all.

Best wishes!

The kit didn't come with catros, and I ordered the duel coil cartomizer, so I didn't think I would need them. I do have a brick and mortar store close by. I can run over there in a bit and see what she might have.

 

[MissBella]

Hi there. I have no idea what the resistance is. I'm vaping at 3.9 and getting a strong lung hit, may need to back it down a bit. Ok, so as much as I love the look and the idea of the little clear tank on my vtube, I will go to the brick and mortar store close by and ask her about the single coil cartomizers. (These are not the tanks right) these are the ones you drip into?

 

[MissBella]

Yes, filled the carto and then the tank. Even let it sit for a while before trying it. I get good throat/lung hits, and an ok amount of vapor. It's not something I would return the device over, just wishing for a little more vapor.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

When you hit the b&m store try to get standard resistance cartos. Look up taryn spin and condom filling on youtube.

Cartos and such are consumable. You will need more. There are deals to be had once you find what you like .

First pv? I also suggest a backup of some kind. Mine is a kgo.

Also, higher voltage and more vg in the juice gets more vapor. I run a little over 4.5 volts usually.

A cartomizer is essential a thin metal tube with an atomizer buried in filler material. You saturate the filler with juice using one of a handful of methods that all accomplish the same thing - a saturated carto, that also does not have excessive juice meaning a flooded cartomizer. As you vape from a cartomizer, you have to replenish the juice in it occasionally to prevent burning the filler material as the juice is used up. Tanks can be slid over cartomizers and feed the cartomizer juice so that you don't have to add drops juice occasionally. With or without a tank, I believe you will be better served with single coil cartomizers. If you have a choice of resistance, choose cartomizers with resistance above 2.5 ohms (2.8 - 3.0 would be ideal)

EDIT: I didn't realize that you already have a carto/tank setup, thought you were only using a carto. But, doesn't change my recommendation of a single coil cartomizer to improve the quantity of vapor produced.

I use dc cartos exclusivivly and often get a bad one that just dosent hit right. if you have any other cartos, try them

Hmm, well my invoice is showing "Apollo Electronic Cigarettes" and they took the Pay Pal. Maybe what shows on the envoice and what it says on the web site is different. I didn't really take notice.

What are you calling the device?
The device (Vtube) has little or nothing to do with vapor production. The device (DCT) does.
Assuming that you got the DCT kit from Apollo, and it's a 2ohm DCC, this device is fine too, and the problem is the juice.

 

[MissBella]

Ok, I see now. If I lift up on the tank a little, I see the center carto. I will look for a single coil later today. Then my tank should just slide over it right? I'll just take my whole system in with me and show her what I have. My only worry with that, is being pulled over. lol.

Has anyone ever had issues with the police while using these bigger setups?

 

[MissBella]

By device, I meant returning the kit. (everything) I'm going to check out the single coil, and maybe just some cartomizers instead of the tank and see if that is any better. I will also try some new juice.

I would NOT return the kit. You won't find better for the price IMO. It's the delivery we need to work through

I read the same problems with the vtube as you and tried to fix some of these problems before they happened. I found here that an ego adaptor for a dct would fix some of the draw problems with the tanks you get from apollo and got one off of litecigs along with a ViviNova tank after hearing good things about them. I'm not sure the adaptor was the right one since it specified Smoktech tanks in the description (and I'm not if the Apollo ones have the same threading) but I figured worst case scenario I'm only out two bucks, plus the vivinova tank is supposed to be pretty good out of the box (so to speak).

Only real issue I have now is when the juice, mod, and parts get here by about Tuesday I'll be staring at a shiny new pile of parts.

Oh and uh, hi everybody! Wooo, first post.

 

[tj99959]

Next question is which Vtube did you get? SS, chrome, or the origional version. The reason I ask is that the SS & chrome can have a loose draw with a carto tank unless you do something to rectify it. I use a sealed shorty extension on mine, others use a short eGo cone.

 

[Largo]

SS Mini which is why I got the eGo cone.

.....wait, were you asking me?
