Okay, I can use isopropyl alcohol to clean the contact area of the battery without worrying about any of it going UP through the same route the juice came DOWN through and tainting the juice?
Since I bought my e-cigs in blister packs and everything about it is unfamiliar to me, I've been thinking that it being marked "CE5+" referred to the whole thing. Now I think I'm wrong on that... I'm going to see if I can at least name the parts I have so I can learn what can be changed out without starting over....
1. Mouthpiece = Drip Tip
2. Clearomizer... is this the only part that's actually the CE5+? Mine is marked to 1.6 ml about 3/4 the way up. I assume I should not fill beyond that line. It is plastic.
3. Atomizer.... I really don't know which one to get, other than taking my e-cig to the B&M where I bought it and asking for more. I do plan on learning to dry burn but not just yet. My understanding (probably wrong too!) is they last around 2 weeks and with my much decreased sense of taste I'll probably only know when the vape isn't satisfying that it's time to change the atomizer. Mine cost $2.00.
4. Ego battery (and charger, of course) Mine seem to work very well and last a long time between charges.
5. Juice. I have one kind, 24 mg menthol 50/50 and I don't think I saw that on any of the "clearomizer cracker" lists
I can put different clearomizers on the batteries I have?
Sorry for sounding like a complete idiot with no knowledge at all about what I have and what I can change... I did originally start this thread in Simple Solutions for beginners!
Yep, you're getting it!
The top portion is the CE5+ . You can replace the top portion (clearomizer, the tank, all of its parts) with something else that works better if you find those aren't working well enough for you. Your EGO style batteries have both EGO threading and 510 threading, which means those batteries can support almost every other clearomizer available. This is a good thing, and your batteries should be just fine even if you don't like the clearomizer toppers.
Atomizers are the heating element, sometimes called coils, heads, atty's. Usually they are comprised of a heating coil, and some wicking material and the housing that contains them. They do not last forever, and you take them out and replace them when your vape starts to taste "wrong" somehow, either burnt or dry or bad etc. They are the part that you put inside the tank section.
You can put whatever you like on your batteries. The tank sections that came with your blister packs are the very lowest on the quality scale of vape. While they will work, they tend to have more problems than others.
New vapers, like me two months ago, often have problems with anything and everything they buy. You'll learn it though, and your vape will be better for it!
