Why is it I'm always getting online and everyone is going to bed? LOL

Well, I officially stink at vaping. Brand new I taste VV3, Brand new Protank 3. vape it for 3 hours. Now I got nothing. No vape coming out of the thing! Sheesh. I think I'm gonna stick with cheapos from now on. I'm super frustrated and about to go buy a pack of smokes.

Awwwh I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time. We've all been there! Trust me! I had no idea vaping had such a learning curve when I first started. All of the leaking, burnt coils & dry hits nearly drove me insane. Thankfully this place helped me get through it all.

I don't know what your vaping budget is like but I found nirvana when I discovered cartotanks. And even with all of the stuff I've accumulated I still use my cartotanks daily. Have you looked into IBTanked before. They are a bit more costly up front but they're awesome tanks & the 'thingie' makes priming your carto a breeze. There are also other less costly tanks that you can start with if you're not sure you want to spend the $25 bucks for one. If so you won't get one of IBTanked's 'thingies' so I recommend checking out Baditude's blogs on priming them. He's the guy that helped me make the switch from clearos. He's pretty freakin awesome, not to mention helpful. Let me know if I can help with links to any other decent cartotanks is you want to try some that are pretty decent but not as costly.

I think you'd like them. They're pretty simple once you get priming down. From there it's just fill & go. And cartos usually last me 1-2 weeks.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I ended up not picking up a paint brush for 3 days and that made me happy from neck down. :laugh:

I absolutely love spending my son's money. I picked his flooring out today. They go pick it up in the morning and maybe by the end of the week we can start putting it down. I am starting to get real excited.

Happy Monday Lurkers!

It might be your center pin? Did you change the tank at all? -That is to say, did you take it off (like to refill or change flavors?)
I have two itaste vv v3's, and I generally just use protanks on them. They can be fiddly little things from time to time. For me, I find that I have to read just that center pin at least every other time I switch a tank... let me get a pic to show you...

Okay. See that center 'button', and how I have the mini screwdriver kinda wedged between that and the threads? Apply gentle pressure in an upwards motion around the button lifting it up until it isn't all smooshed down anymore but is standing a bit taller. That may solve your issue.

Morning Dale! I was rebuilding my igo. It seems I can't get a build to last more than a day or two. I would be using my eternity, but it seems I can't find some of my parts.... might have lost a part or two going between va and de so much which makes me very sad. I have a spare in a sealed box, but I don't dare open it before we are moved and settled for fear of losing that too! Perhaps my parts will show up as I continue to pack....
For now, DH has been off to work for an hour or so, and I am considering a quick nap before the girls get up...

Good morning, Lurkers! Thank you to everyone who helped me! :) This morning I sat down when I wasn't jonesing (LOL) - for some reason I don't crave a cigarette first thing in the morning. Anyway I wasn't frustrated yet because I hadn't tried to vape and gotten nuthin. ;) So I sat down and brought a few tools with me (paperclip, tweezers, paper towel, and youtube). I did the pin thing and nothing. I then decided to take apart the tanks. Well, seems as if they're getting liquid in the center hole thingies. I dried that out, and then cleaned off the connections on the batteries. Seems that for some reason ejuice got inside the side area next to the pin thingie. Anyway, longer story shorter - they work now (both tanks and batteries) but I'm not getting as much vapor as I was. Truth be told, I don't vape much in the mornings, so we'll see this afternoon how they hold up. :)
