New to Ecigs, Need Help

[DougWare]

I'm completely new to E-Cigs (started last Friday) with a Smoking Everywhere Gold. I had kicked the habit a few weeks earlier, but I was missing the taste of cigarette.

Anyway, my cigarette seemed to work great the first day, maybe day and a half. However, the cartridges seemed to quit "smoking" and less became less enjoyable after only one use or couple of hours. I could litereally put a new cartridge on get 5-6 puffs before it would quit smoking, 3 or 4 more puffs later it wasn't really enjoyable anymore and I felt like I was was trying to suck air through a pinhole.

When I went to charge it Saturday evening (five or six uses during the first 24 hours), because the tip started flashing and I could feel the atomizer going cold in the middle of a drag (I actually think it started after my 3rd or 4th use). I placed it on the charger, and about 10 minutes later, the light went from bright red to dark green (not bright green, not off). The cigarette also flashes when you screw it into the charger 5 or 6 times.

Anyway, the next day I reassembled it and went to puff. The tip started flashing again and the atomizer was going cold. I've had juice dripping out of the sides and into my case, so now that I've read this forum, I'm sure I need to go blow my atomizer.

I was ready to exchange it today (packed it all back up neatly) because I thought was defective. However, now I wonder if it just needs cleaning and I've been puffing too hard (yes, I didn't know any better at the time and was sucking as hard as I can). Can a clogged/flooded atomizer cause the atomizer to go cold during a drag and the tip to start flashing? What should I do?

Thanks!

Doug,

You should give up on that model and get a 510, IMHO.

I didn't know there were so many types and demoed the SE Gold cigarette in my local mall. I bought it there, and from I can tell so far....it's a Smoking Everywhere sales guy. They don't offer refunds, but I can take it back and get a new one if I have problems.

If the SE Gold is prone to problems, and I just want to buy a 510 outright, which 510 are you referring to...and where is the best place to get them? I'm already in pretty deep with the SE Gold.

Cigarette, One Pack Carts, Charger: $100
2 Extra Packs of Carts: $20
Case: $20
Car Charger: $25

I sunk $170 into junk like that before I found this site and some good suppliers. Don't feel bad, nobody sells a 510 in a mall....lol.

Anyway, you should be able to get a complete starter kit for a 510 or a 901 for about $50 or so from a US supplier. The parts will be from China, but it will be shipped from the US. At the bottom of this forum is a list of suppliers and links to their websites.

Check out Dietsmokes, MyVaporStore, Innovapor for starters. All good, although Innovapor has been a little slow shipping for me.

Being that my only experience so far has been with the SE Gold, what makes the SE Gold so bad? I may end up getting a 510 or 901, but I've spent my discretionary income for this pay period....so I need advice on getting the most out of my SE Gold until the end of the month.

Have you checked the model specific forum? There should be some helpful tips in there. Search for RN-4081 from the main page. Sorry I'd post the link but cant yet since I'm a noob as well.

My 510 (the $100 InnoVapor kit) arrived today. I really like the 510 over my SE Gold, but I'm not happy with the flavorless vapor. I've done a lot of research on the forum tonight, and I believe it's because it's the EcoPure juice.

I have a Jo Ann's and Micheal's in my area, so I'm going to go hunting tomorrow evening for the ingredients to make my own juice. I've also ordered the Absolute Tobacco and Menthol liquids from Purfumer's Apprentice....but I'm sure it will take a week or so to arrive.

Luckily, I still have some carts for my SE Gold (which I'm going to keep as a back up vaporizer).

Thanks for the advice!
