new to vaping need advice

[ams84]

I just got back from vacation and was pleased to find my vision spinner and oils in the mailbox. I figured this would be a trial and error process but I'm still a little frustrated. here's the problem: I charged the 650 vision spinner battery then i filled up the tank on the side of the cartomizer like the guy in the tube tutorial with oil from vaporchef.com. i did the 5 clicks to turn it on, made sure the light was on when I was trying to vaporize but all i got on my 1st 3 attempts was oil in my mouth and no vapor . I don't know what I'm doing wrong and any tip would be appreciated thanks.

What kind of tank is it?

how much liquid did you put in the cartomizer? you may have overfilled it (or flooded). if you have.. take it out the battery.. and blow on it with paper tower under it to take the excess fluid thats in the coil chamber out.

you may have over filled it and inhaling too fast like a regular cigarette.. it also takes time to heat up the coil.. you may want to pulse the power on couple of times till you hear the sizzling sound.

Hi ams84. Take a paper towel, cover the mouthpiece and blow through from the battery end. That should clear the air passage of any excess liquid. Good Luck.

I would say you overfilled. I had that problem with a couple, incorrectly filled by the shipper. I didn't notice some juice in the packaging when I opened it.

It's also quite possible that the center pin of your battery is depressed too far and isn't making an electrical connection to your tank. The little center actually "floats" there and you can gently lift it back up.

When you screw your tank onto your battery it is common to crank it down too tight, pushing down that pin. Then next time it doesn't connect. Don't crank it down, just turn it until it makes contact -- "finger tight"

Could be several things. A) overfilled carto. B) Poor battery connection. C) Voltage setting set too low on battery. What is your setup?

thanks for the tips peeps I just got back from a smoke break. I can't wait to start vaporizing and cut down smoking . Its a 2.5ml pyrex tank. I ordered a complete kit from myfreedomsmokes.com came with extra battery usb charger and everything. Im about to give it another go. thanks again

Just got my 1st semi-succesful VAPE small amount of vapor and still got oil in my mouth. Im using a visions spinner with a 2.5ml pyrex tank and cartomizer from kangertech. I don't think the tank is overfilled. I tried loosening up the parts and i think that helped some but please understand this is my 1st time and any tips anyone has are greatly appreciated so please keep posting

 

[billiam]

I'm sure you have already done this but make sure there is no juice on your battery connector.

I don't think kangertech has any cartomisers; I figure you have a protank 3. That would be the pyrex tank.

Hold the mouthpiece up to your ear and press the button and you are supposed to hear a popping sound of the coil vaporising the eliquid.

Not a cartomizer but clearomizer perhaps?

If it's one of kanger tanks.. Make sure the coil head and bottom is screwed on tight.. That's where most of the leaks happen if not properly seated and closed.

I've not used carto tanks I prefer clearo's so I just offer morale support. Take your time don't get frustrated. There's a learning curve in the beginning. Sometimes it takes some fiddling to get the hang of your set up .

 

[ams84]

when I'm using the vision spinner I press the button and the light comes on and I hear a sizzle but Im not getting good vapor puffs. the light blinks 5 times when I keep the button pressed down for a while. does this mean I need to charge the battery more?

 

[Linkslover]

Yeah. Sounds like a Pro tank. Remove the entire tank from the battery. Turn the tank upside down and open the bottom. Make sure the atomizer head is finger-tight. Reassemble and mount back on the battery. Set your voltage on the Spinner to around 3.8 volts and work your way up from there to find your sweet spot. Good luck and happy vaping !

I missed "Kanger". The light blinking like that is a safety to keep from overheating the coil. Use a very gentle draw like drinking a thick milk shake w/o collapsing the straw.

 

[Linkslover]

What voltage is the battery set at? And yes it will blink if you hold the fitting button for too long. It is a built in protection feature.

More likely a protection feature.. My kanger battery will blink if pressed more than 10 sec. 16 in provari.

Try upping the voltage a little at a time.

Edit. firing. I hate auto correct,!

You hear a sizzle - GOOD. That mean the thing is working.

Now when you take a draw on the mouthpiece, it might feel a bit tight, so try to make a slow draw. And yes the battery electronics does a protection thing to autoshutoff after about 10 seconds to prevent accidental over heating and fires from people leaving it in their pocket on in bags etc.

If you want to loosen the draw you can try unscrewing the tank a little, but listen for the sizzle sound to verify that your tank is still electrically connected.

When the battery runs down and needs rechanging it would blink 10 times.
