Hi Halons.
Cherokee here, introducing myself to the forum... it's good to be here, and I am really pleased to read how friendly and helpful everyone on this sub-forum is! You all seem to have an awesome sense of humor as well. I particularly like reading some of wheezal's quips/innuendos (as I'm admittedly a huge fan of sophomoric jokes - I guess I'm 34 going on 14).
I am quite new to vaping, and have been vaping a G6 manual (black, 78mm) for about two weeks now. For the most part, I have been loving the G6 starter kit (as I like the slim profile), but I highly suspect that I will be upgrading to something a bit more powerful soon (and after a bunch more research on ECF), and which provides a smoother taste, as I have been having a bit of a rough time with my mini-tanks, and burning fluid on the coil (discussed below).
First, though, as a bit of background, I am one of the seeming minority that picked up vaping without being much of a smoker at all. I used to smoke a light amount between my teens and into college, but then essentially stopped altogether (asides from a smoke here or there when out having a drink). However, in the past 3 months, I have been going through a REALLY difficult time in my family life
, and troubles with my wife, and bought a pack of Marlboro Lights for the first time in quite awhile, which I kinda used as a crutch to help distract me from this awful situation. I do not drink, and thought that this might calm my nerves a bit. After smoking about 3 packs, I decided that I really did not like it, and smelled like s#%t, and thought it would be smart to look into vaping. The first time I vaped was off of a friend's device about a year ago, and did not particularly like it, as the flavor was quite artificial-tasting, and the battery, for me, was too big. Hence, I chose something rather smaller (as I do not like the light saber hookah look), and went with the black G6. The set up looks really classy and unobtrusive, I think. With the smoke mini-tanks, the setup looks VERY close to a black gel pen, which I think is really cool, as I can vape at the office without being too in-your-face about it.
Now, on to the problem with the mini-tanks: I've bought 2 of Halo's e-juice samplers to use in my tanks, and REALLY love the Tribecca. It is glorious. However, I have been encountering a bit of trouble with the Tribecca (but not other Halo juices) getting a burnt taste from the coil and occasionally the fluid is getting discolored from the excess burning/gurgling (even though I am not filling any juice into the center hole). I have honestly no clue as to why the Tribecca is burning on the coil of the mini-tanks. It makes no sense, as many of the Halo aficionados here, and Halo customer service, all seem to agree that Tribecca is one of the more "versatile" juices, and is not as prone to burn as some of the darker juices (e.g., Voodo, etc). I hope that someone might have some advice, as it is frustrating the hell out of me, and am even contemplating solely putting the Tribecca into cartos to avoid the problem. Burnt Tribecca is still not bad, but it certainly is not good either. And I don't even take enormous pulls - certainly less than the 5-second cutoff on the G6 (probably 4 seconds or so). And the top coil is seeming to get rather hot, even after one pull (hence, I wait for it to cool before taking another pull - solely to avoid the burnt taste). This has happened with two tanks now (both of which have been new).
Thanks to anyone out there with any advice as to avoiding this burning, as it is driving me a bit crazy.
Nice to meet y'all, and I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts in the future!
