New and need some help!:(

[Emily2155]

I am new to vaping. I decided to quit smoking and go to vaping with no plan, research or even much thought. How I've made it this far I have no idea. I had 4 cigs left when I bought a Blu. I smoke my 4 and that was it. It has been 3.5 weeks. I have a love/ hate opinion of Blu. I live it because its easy and requires no thought or work. I was smoking about 1 1/2 packs of Camel menthols a day and would never have made this far without it. I HATE the Blu battery. It's terrible.
I have since bought a Ego-c Upgrade. I have only had it 2 days. I like it but I miss some things about the Blu. I miss the warmth of the vapor. Maybe it's not supposed to be warm? I don't know but my ego isn't warm at all. Is there a cartomizer/ clearimzer that works best for what I am missing? Thanks so much in advance!

You might want to try a vivi nova. It comes with 3 different resistance heads so you can decide which of those you prefer. It is easily cleaned and the heads can be rebuilt. Pbusardo has tons of videos on youtube that you can watch for info. Vision Nova Tank Clearomizer V3 Mega

What mah eGo did you get? My 650mah has a very cool vape, but my 900's hit much warmer. I really like the twist (you can go either eGo or Vision Spinner). They are really nice because you can dial in the amount of warmth based on the juice.

Or you can try a lower resistance cartomizer. I use the Smoketeck 1.7 ohm XL cartomizer together with 24 mg nicotine juice. I get a great warm vape with that setup.

Welcome to ECF Emily. I think you'll like it here.

I agree with cowdog, lr should hit the spot with an ego for a warmer vape.

yep, something about 1.8ohm should be warmer and give a more satisfying vape..the ego-c upgrade puts out 3.3v I think, I'm pretty sure the blu starts out at 4.2v freshly charged and drops to 3.3v at minimum. So you're noticing that lower voltage, a lower resistance carto/clearo etc will make up for that lower voltage

That's why I like my "mini eGo" it's 3.7v. Combine that with a 1.8ohm eVod clearo and I find it a very nice vape

It's tiny (about 12cm) and great for a sneaky vape at work

Which on did I get? Funny you should ask... I bought it at what I "thought" was a reputable local dealer which has a thread on this website. And when i got bome realized i had no book, instructions, or info. I was a bit over whelmed when buying it and should have noticed when I was there but didn't. I bought a "kit" and they put it together for me all in a case so I don't have any idea what I have except that my battery says ego-C upgrade. How can I tell?

To everyone one else...I am researching/ googling these thing s you posted Haha! Your speaking a foreign language. I am so lost.

I like the looks of the "mini" pic above and think I may understand what cowdog is suggesting.

I have no ideas what cartomizer I am using.. It doesn't say. But here is a pic if that helps. Thanks for all your help!

What you have looks like a ce4 also called a stardust. They are a disposable clearomizer and sometimes leak.

 

[sonicdsl]

Looks like a Kanger T3 to me, from the knurled base on it. When upside down, you should be able to unscrew the knurled part, which is the base, and replace w/a new base when the coil burns out (instead of buying a whole new clearomizer).

If you want a lower resistance unit for a warmer vape, as has been suggested, they have those heads in 1.8ohm.

Welcome to the club.

....questions too!

Another +1 for the advice from Cowdog. A lower resistance cartomizer or atomizer will give you a much warmer vape at standard eGo voltage. The 1.7ohm cartos, sometimes referred to as Resurrectors or Rejuvenators work very well with the eGo and are easy to fill and use. Just be sure to get them good and saturated before firing them up for the first time.

 

[Emily2155]

Klynnn...I don't know because the have me wick replacements so Wouldn't that mean they aren't disposable?

Sonicdsl...where would I buy these and what would I ask for lol!

 

[gatein250]

As the others have said a variable voltage mod would help with the wamth, i also find that cartomizers like a boge for instance give off a wamer vape, although cartomizers are rather picky you cant over fill or it will flood if you dont fill enough you could end up burning the thing to a crisp. i recomend that you buy a VISION vivi nova (not the clone they do not preform the same at all),, and maybe get a few extra 1.8 ohm heads while you are ordering it. gotvapes has the vivi novas and they also have a great vv ego battery that is called the SLB it hits stronger then the joyetech and spinner imho and is comperable in price. if you go with this setup remember to get a ego cone thread cover to complete the look.

That looks like the red one of these...

it's an "SVC Ego Crystal Changeable Coil Cartomizer" that you can get from here..

SVC Ego Crystal Changeable Coil (CC) Cartomizer 2.4 ohm

If you unscrew the bottom of it (when it's empty) and look closely at the "coil head" (where the wick comes out of) you should see some little numbers..this will tell you how many ohms resistance your coil has

 

[klynnn]

There are so many diff kinds of the clearo it's hard to keep them all straight. I use the vision vivi nova and it works for me, but there are lots to try and you may find one you like better. I'd def say with your battery to use the lower resistance heads for a warmer vape.

 

[Adam78]

yep..I'd be surprised if you have a 1.8ohm atomizer in yours, probably a 2.4ohm or 2.8ohm..that link I posted says

"Replacement atomizers available separately in 1.8, 2.4 and 2.8 ohms."

which you can get from here..

SVC Ego Crystal Changeable Coil Replacement Atomizers

I'm quite new to all this myself but I think the lower resistance atomizer will heat up faster and get a bit hotter so try a 1.8ohm one...(if you don't already have that)

Or try one of the other cartomizers or clearomizers mentioned in this thread like the vivi nova etc (I use the "Kanger T3" and the "Kanger eVod" and I really like them both, I use 1.8ohm atomizers in mine) ...anyway, give it time Emily, it's all a bit confusing for us newbies but the more we read & learn the less confusing it will be and the more satisfying our vaping will get!..so don't feel lost, don't be afraid to ask questions..& good luck

 

[darkhood]

+8 fer the vivi nova, I love mine altho it does steal your juice's flavor...it's a succubus o' flavor...be warned

 

[Emily2155]

Ok I'm back and have more question....sorry. I feel like I'm being a big baby but I am frankly scared of this china made juice I bought. When I stopped using the Blu and using this stuff I started getting really wheezy?! So I ordered some Red Oak JC since that is basically what's in the Blu right? Also I feel like this atominizer/cartromizer/clearomizers stuff is a lot of work. It's making my head spin trying to figure it all out. I tried to change to coil/ wick thing myself and it tastes burnt like I did something wrong. I also have a couple of these little v-nano things and although they are small the seem to give me the warmth I want and I just through them away right? Then I don't have to mess with changing things in them? I'm so confused Haha!!
