Lesson learned today

[BigCatDaddy]

I was rooting around in my container of various vaping parts and supples and spied one of the Innokin Iclear 30's I had used back when I first started my vaping journey. It had leaked and sputtered and I was not impressed. So, I thought what the heck, let's see if it still does it. I filled it up with some juice and am currently happily vaping with it and a pretty nice vape it is too. If it works out, I'm gonna have to chalk it up to noob user error. The lesson is(maybe): If you get something that you can't make work, DON'T THROW IT AWAY!! Revisit it again when you have more experience...

So true, so true ... I like that!

Excellent advice. I am normally the hoarding type, and don't throw stuff away. But for some reason, last week I got frustrated with a new, inexpensive clearomizer that seemed to leak. So I was irritated and tossed it in the trash and opened another one just like it. That one worked really well. So I dug through the trash and got the other one out that I threw away, changed the head, and it worked perfectly!

Lesson learned: patience and maybe it wasn't the clearomizer, but a faulty head.

Out with the old junk junk-drawer, in with the new vaping junk-drawer. Affirmative.

Lol today i had almost the same revelation. The only difference was i had been having all sorts of issues with evods leaking and burning and never having just the right amount of wicks. I stumbled upon a recoil guide using vertical coil and cotton wick stuffed around it. Tested it out and i'm super stoked. I sat down and rbuilt 6 old heads and its perfect performance so far. I'm glad i kept them, as they are so perfect for the ego twists and built like a tank.

There are no bad tanks(well not many)
Just inexperienced users

I think we have all been there.

Yeah and don't throw ejuices out either. After they steep/age their taste changes tremendously. So some may throw out something that could potentially turn to their favorite.

Love the whole iclear line. Kudos for saving and not just giving up on stuff.

The same thing happened with my 30. It got on my last nerve the first time I used it so i cleaned it and tossed it in a drawer. Pulled it out later and it worked like a champ. Maybe it needed steeping.

 

[Rocketpunk]

Yep, he's right. I remember getting a smoktech plastic dct carto tank from MBV way back when. Followed the pictoral instructions and it never, ever worked. Obviously, in hindsight, I had no idea what "priming" meant. Cussed at it and threw it in a box and forgot about it. When my B&M taught me what I was doing wrong, I busted that guy back out and quickly started collecting tanks.

I said the same thing the other day to myself. I hated those innokin iclears so much at first. Thank goodness I'm a cheapskate/hoarder who won't throw away anything "valuable." Pulled one out this weekend--huh, this thing is nice. Ugly as sin, but nice.

I find the same thing with juices that I've had laying around for awhile. Juice that I got tired of when using ego batteries taste much different on newer apv's and tanks. So don't throw away that tired juice, save it for when you get better hardware. Another advantage is steeping gives sharp or perfumy flavors a chance to mellow out.

Glad I saw this... Be thinking about giving the protanks a try again but with rebuilt coils...

I've re-tried my DIY Boston Cream Pie several times since I made it ... still tastes like crap

I think this is proved by the fact there are as many threads hating a particular tank as there are professing love for the same tank.

A little steep time fixes everything.

So many people complain " why does it gurgle and leak " blah blah Lol, it's like maybe if you didn't over fill it like 2 ml then it wouldnt Lol.

Addendum: I vaped the Iclear 30 all last evening and when I picked it up this morning.........still vaping nicely. Good thing is, I've got 2 more brand new ones, still in the cellophane wrappers...Now, what flavor of juice to put in them?? Hmmmmmm.....
