My ecig came in today everyone! I'm thrilled to be as cool as you guys, lol.

There is already a lot I like about it but one area where I'm confused. I keep feeling like I'm swallowing eliquid with every puff. In paticular it feels like it is accumulating on my upper lip. It isn't unbearable but just taste a bit spicy. What could this be, is it natural, and how do I know it is eliquid?

Congratulations on your new ecig.

I remember my first day, the vape felt sort of wet. I think it was the shock of inhaling something that wasnt as dry as a sandy shoe :)

Likely it is PG vapour and a bit of nic, nicotine is peppery. If you have eliquid in your mouth, it will probably burn and if swallowed, make you sick and hiccup. Just make sure no actual juice drops are coming out of the mouthpiece.

Remember, analog cigs are dry but vapour is moist. Hopefully thats all it is.

It's a whole different experience. Just keep in mind that you're vaporizing now, and not smoking. It takes a while to get used to it, but it's a pleasant transition.

well it depends on the type of ecig you got too. The RN4081 model, aka super mini, aka peewee, is the one i first bought, and if you order the prefilled cartridges with it, they'll usually leak a little bit on you.

Solution i got from someone here is to blow through the cartridge, the end that connects to the vaporizer, and it'll get the excess liquid out.

This is all assuming you bought that model because seems alot of people make that their first purchase because it so closely resembles an actual cigarette.

I agree with jova, it could easily be a leaky cart. If you're filling with eliquid yourself, you also must be careful not to overfill. When I first started I got the liquid in my mouth all the time cuz I was overfilling the carts. Just make sure it's not pooled up on top. If it is, just use your dropper or syringe to suck a little bit of it back out, or dab it with a paper towel to absorb the excess. Hope that helps. Good luck!

I've never had a leaker on my 4081, but I'm using juice, so I still have most of the original carts.
