Lurker Coming out of the Woodwork

[Crazy1Bob]

Hello all! Ive been lurking here for a while doing my research. Finally found a PV that I thought I would like. I ordered the Elite 808 and it arrived yesterday. I also got 4 additional flavors to go with the one that came with the kit. I ended up with Vanilla, Dr. Pepper, Cherry Coke, Rootbeer Float, and Apple.

I dont know if I am doing things correctly or not, but the flavor isnt as strong as I was expecting and is kind of Harsh. I tried Blu Cigs a few years ago, and I really liked the flavor of their vanilla. It was nice. But I wanted something with more battery than Blu.

I dripped between 50 -90 drops in the carts and rolled it around like it suggested. Also let one sit for 30 mins like suggested. Flavor still wasnt very strong and was kind of harsh still. It also stated to let them sit over night after filling for best results. After sitting overnight, there was less cloud and less flavor.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong or if its the E liquid that I got from them. Any Ideas would be helpful. This is going to be helping me quit analogs for good.

Welcome! What nic level are you using? Also are you drawing in slow and smooth or a full drag like a reg cig? I had to learn to drag slow and smooth for best flavor. Hold in mouth first then inhale slowly. I was about choking on my first tries as I was dragging way too hard and everything was too harsh. bnrk

...the harshness and coughing accompanies the start of most peoples first time until they learn to draw properly...kinda like brnk suggested above...we all have to develop a technique that works for us...some of this has to do with the juice have as well...the two main base for juice are PG or VG or a combination of them...PG is harsher and more flavorful and VG is less harsh, has more vapor and mute flavor somewhat...for the best flavor, let the vapor linger and some out of your nose on the exhale...right now, your tastebuds are somewhat deadened from smoking and flavor s will be better as you continue onwards...by the way, congrats on making the decision to live healthier.........

Welcome , and another thing to remember , at first , the juice are very muted in flavor , until your taste buds start to clear up .All the juices I tried when I first started , were lacking in flavor . Now after several months , they all seem to taste a lot better .

Im using Easy Cig's E Liquid which is only in 24mg from what I saw.
I am drawing like an analog. Need to start thinking of this similar to a cigar. Yea, I will let my taste buds clear up. Hopefully the taste will start getting better. I havent had an analog yet today. Would have normally had about 6-8 by now. Only been up 6 hrs.

Try taking the cartomizer off of the battery. With the threaded end of the cartomizer facing down, give it several hard deliberate shakes. (Like you would a thermometer). That will help get the juice down to the bottom of the cartomizer. If the carto is dry hitting that will help take the harshness away.

 

[Crazy1Bob]

I'll give that a try.

Ok just went on my Lunch and tried the slow draw and it worked so much better. The flavor was better, but not as strong as I was wanting, but ill wait on my taste buds to get better for that. It was so much less harsh. Exhale was tough, but i gotta get used to Vaping. Im loving it so far.

So glad that went better for you, now when you get to try some new e liquids or even better, start mixing your own you can go as strong as you want for flavor I need to go mix up my new flavors I just got, fun fun! bnrk

I am another one that has trouble tasting anything. attys are much better for flavor than cartos(but they have disadvantages)

you can also find vendors that will make the juice stronger in flavor. most charge a bit extra for that

its been 6 weeks for me and has not gotten any better

A lot of the lack of flavor may just be as other posters said. Your taste buds are still dead from smoking.

Todd's organic juices at Vaperite are really strong. I have some of his organic toffee and it's almost like I need to cut it to bring it down a notch.

That sounds awesome to me. I love strong flavor.
