new e-cig

[pansub]

Hi all

I have just bought the mini e-cig Kit and some extra cartridges, i am a bit dissapointed at the amount of vapour produced,
it seems like i get a lot of vapour on the first puff and then not a lot, if any, is it me?????

This may be a stupid question but have you put a cartridge on the e-cig? When you first get it, it has an empty piece for the cartridge. Did you fully charge your batteries?

well, definitely check the two things that TxTrouble mentioned but also I wanted to mention that these things take a little time to break in. My 901 wasn't putting out really good vapor until after 4-5 days of use. Be patient with it.

Thanks for your reply's

yep, charged up the battery for 6 hours put a cartridge in the cartridge holder and have tried it for a week now,

I wont give up on it yet, there must be an answer, all the videos show loads of vapour!!!!!

G'Day Pan ... there is a bit of a learning curve with any device , I find what works best for me with my 901, is a fairly full cart, a good battery, and instead of a huge lung pulling draw ( or even a normal cigarette draw) try a few small mouth puffs, followed by a longer , more analogue draw... just my 2 cents
Oh and also , if you have the newer magnetic switch batteries that cut out after 3 secs or so of draw, it pays to vary the intensity of your draw a little and the atomiser will light for longer

hope that helps mate

Pansub. What type of e-cig did you get and where did you get it from? I have heard a lot of horrible stories from people that purchased them off ebay. You may also want to try and drip a few drops of juice on the atomizer and topping off your cartridge.

bought it from Paramountzone.com

do you mean this ejuice i keep reading about? i am just looking at a site called totally wicked that sells eliquid.

 

[igetcha]

it says that one cart will last 30 - 40 cigarettes!! it wont mate, 5 - 6 at the most. have you tried a new cartridge or are you still on the 1st one? dont treat it as a cigarette, take a long slow draw.

have you contacted the seller?

 

[TxTrouble]

Yes. There are several sites that sell the juice. Johnson Creek has a sampler pack that is good in that you can try several different flavors.
You may want to try changing out the cartridge if your still not getting good vapor.

[pansub]

yes tried the medium cartridge, then totally recharged the battery and switched to a high cartridge this morning.

 

[TxTrouble]

I think Igetcha is right. You may want to contact your seller. It sounds like there is something wrong. You may end up having to buy a new one. If your in the states there are several really good sellers. I am sure there are in the UK however I am not sure who they are. But I bet people here can get you some good places.

[pansub]

Thanks, i am in the UK, so it sounds like a duff one?

I have ordered a spare atomiser, i am assuming that is the only part that could go wrong!!

 

[TxTrouble]

It definately sounds like something is wrong. Unfortunately you can get bad parts on your order. I would definately contact the person you purchased it from. If they wont replace it then I would go with another seller.
Oh and if/when you purchase from someone else definately get another battery and atomizer or 2. You will need them eventually. Trust me when I say you dont want to end up with a dead e-cig and no spare parts. That happened to me. UGH thought I was going to freak out. Thank goodness my better half had a spare that I could use while my replacement parts came in.

the only way i get a lot of vapor is if i dont inhale as well. inhaling seems to kill most of the vapor. seems to me in most of the vids they are either not inhaling, or inhaling very little of it to show the units vapor production. mine is still pretty new, and may not be broken in yet as well.personally, i dont care as much about vapor as i do about getting nicotine.especially since i go in the bathroom stall at work and prefer not to have "smoke" streaming up for people to see.
