New to ecigs, need help!

[thewilltobebrown]

So, I've just decided to enter the world of e-cigs with absolutely no idea what I was doing. I ordered the Joye eGo C Twist 650mAh as well as Kangor MT3 Tube which I think is a clearomizer (don't even know what a clearomizer, atomizer or cartomizer is…). I also got some e-liquid and a charger.

All of this just arrived tonight, so I charged the eGo C Twist with the charger and attempted to put e liquid into the MT3 tube. I was told not to drop it directly into the hole, but aim for the area around it. so I filled it up with a decent amount of liquid (about 6-7 drops) and it looked like it was a little more than halfway full. I then carefully screwed it onto the charged battery. When I tried to take a hit, (pressed the button) I sucked a mouthful of e liquid into my mouth, which at first I thought tasted good but then realized it was disgusting to have straight in your mouth. I don't even know what my question is. I have a lot.

Basically, what am I doing wrong? Did I buy all of the necessary parts? Why isn't my e cig smoking correctly and what other general knowledge should I know about e cigs?

Thank you!

Untwist your clearomizer, place over a paper towel, blow out the mouth piece to get any liquid out of the center shaft. Wipe down and replace on your battery. I think you somehow got liquid in the center post.

Okay I did that. Now i've put it back on (without putting more e liquid in) and when I suck, it feels like its clogged or something?

Maybe someone with experience with this exact clearomizer can comment.

 

[thewilltobebrown]

I feel. I'm not missing a piece though am I? Do e-cigs work with just a battery and a clearomizer?

I am also kind of new but do you not have to click the button 5 times on a twist to turn it on so you can vape?

Where in California are you located?

Yes, it sounds like you have all the parts. Is your battery LED coming on? If you just press the button and hold the clearomizer up to your ear can you hear the sizzle of the atomizer? Are you unable to draw air through the clearomizer without pressing the button on your battery?

 

[thewilltobebrown]

Its already on. But I think I've figured it out. This is the description of what I thought was my clearomizer…

"Need a replacement tube for your MT3? Here is a colorful selection to choose from. Tubes can get lost, damaged or the seal can get worn down. When this happens its good to have an extra tube and not have to purchase a whole new clearomizer."

So I'm guessing what I have here is just a tube for a clearomizer and not a clearomizer itself What a bummer!

Can someone suggest me a good clearomizer to go along with this eGo C Twist 650 mAh?

I'm not sure I am familiar with that particular clearomizer you have. Can you say if it is filled by taking the mouthpiece off, or filling it upside down from the connector end?

If it is a top filling clearo, are you certain you got the mouthpiece screwed all the way in?

 

[thewilltobebrown]

I am so confused haha. Maybe it is a clearomizer, it seems like it would be one, it holds the liquid and screws on correctly and everything. I don't see how it can just be a tube. I think it is a clearomizer and I just confused the products when trying to look it up.

And yes, the LED comes on. I hear no sizzle though. Do clearomizers all have atomizers inside them?

All juice delivery devices have an atomizer, or heating coil, which heats the liquid into vapor.

This is a tutorial for a Vision Spinner, almost the same device as an eGo Twist, using a clearomizer. View this and see if you did anything differently.

In the video, the user clicks the power button so many times to turn on the battery. Did you do this?

I can't get the mouthpiece off as hard as I try. I just filled it from the other end and tried my best not to get it in the center hole. It definitely seemed to be filled up as I could see the liquid. Also, right now there is no e-liquid in it but when I try to puff it, it feels completely clogged. I get no air flow.

 

[thewilltobebrown]

Yes I definitely purchased the "MT3 bottom coil tube", just checked the e-mail. Is that not a clearomizer?

Here is a video by the VapinGreek on the T3, similar to the MT3

The Kanger mt3 fills from the bottom. The top does not come off. You fill from the bottom. If you got juice in the center it can take a minute to clear it. Take it off the battery and blow threw it on to a paper towel. Make sure you have plenty of juice in it. At least half full. Let it sit a few min. to wick up the juice. If it gurls puff on it several times to VAPE it out

 

[thewilltobebrown]

My question at this point is, is the "MT3 bottom coil tube" not a clearomizer? Is it just a replacement part of the clearomizer?

 

[btally]

Can you post a link to the part you ordered so we can verify that you ordered an entire clearomizer and not just a replacement piece?

 

[thewilltobebrown]

This is what I purchased: Kanger MT3 tube

And the description makes me feel like its not an entire clearomizer, even though it fits on the battery like one.

From one of your earlier posts (the description of what you posted) it sounds like you just have the replacement outer tube and not the full clearo
