new to vaping

[Meresya]

Isn't THAT the truth! The flavor from the clears is spotty at best. Additionally, there are a lot of things to consider as well. Normally even a clearo will last longer than three days, but being new means a lack of knowledge. Has the tank died, tasting burnt or peppery? What PG/VG ratio is the juice you use. Back in the day I started with a smoke shops juice - flavors which contained a tobacco flavor as well as a major throat hit 70/30 PG/VG mix. Even when I just started I could taste the flavors, just NOT the tobacco flavoring additive. After finding a source of better juice I only vape 30/70 PG/VG or 100% VG now.

Take your setup into the local vape shop and have them check it. Maybe the carto died and you do not know it as it is new. Additionally, maybe the volts/watts setting on your unit reset after changing the battery?

Hello & welcome sambo1482

Where abouts are you in the UK? We have quite a few regular vape meet ups on AAE-C UK - just wondering if you could get to one of them as I think it would help you a lot to meet up with other vapers.

I think you might need to try another vape shop with more choices of ejuice to sample....

Hi Sambo and welcome to ECF. Stick with it and don't get discouraged. When you finally find what works for you it will be bliss.

I was using a Ipow2 with a kanger protank3 and a kanger aerotank giant both tanks at 12 to 12.5 watts had hugh hits and lots of flavor.
But my Ipow2 died after 3 weeks ( I called today the shop is gonna exchange it) I think the Ipow2 with the kanger aerotank giant is a great setup, it is a bit heavy though.

hi sambo1482, welcome to ECF your topper tank is probably what is holding you
back those are not very good tanks IMO maybe try something like this on that
ipow battery - KANGER EVOD MEGA CLEAROMISER - Clearomizers
also a lot of changes happen with your taste buds so drink plenty of water and
keep at it it will get better nice job 3 day so far it will just keep getting better

How long was your battery lasting used it for 2 hrs and it's only got one bar batt left thought it would last a lot longer than that

I was getting 5-6 hours out of the battery, I have now switched to a istick20 i got 13 hours today with one bar left
and this istick on 8 watts hits as hard as the ipow2 on 12 watts

Your taste is messed up from smoking. Play with the volts of your unit. Start low and work your way up. Don't puff like a cigarette. Slow steady draws 3 to 5 seconds, hold on your mouth for a second then inhale. Exhale through both nose and mouth.

Ye I've charged it twice till it says charfull and after a our it's lost 2 bars of batt when I've read reviews and watched YouTube videos they say it will last all day or at least 10hrs plus dint think it would loose 2 bars in a our worried that I've got a dodgy one and there is 5 bars of batt and also after about 10 puffs it looses a bar so about 5 mins of use it looses 1 bar

I'm not entirely sure of what battery the ipow uses, but as a rule whenever I get ANY battery powered device (be it the iStick 30w which I'm getting tomorrow or the new OnePlus One phone I'm getting shortly after) I make sure I charge them to max charge and use them until complete discharge (well until the mod tells me it's time to charge) and then charge it back up to max charge. Most people do this full cycle for some 6-7 times. Try this with your device or with the device you might get in it's place before you dismiss it.

Just be aware that your istick is most def not firing at 8watts. It's tuned to mean so you might be firing around a volt higher than the device displays on the screen.
