Hi,
A little background if your interested
I'm relatively new to vaping, did try a mini e cig a couple of years ago from TW and although I liked the idea, I just couldn't get on with using it as a complete substitute for my drum roll-ups. I stayed on the TW mail list and then saw the tornado tank at the start of feb this year, thought it looked really good, so after a little thought I ordered one and set up a plan to ditch the roll-ups for good. Tank arrived and tried it out a couple of evenings rather than having my traditional cigs and was impressed, battery lasted a long time, I saw lots of vapour so looked promising. So I finished my last packet of tobacco by the end of the first week of feb and switched to the tank full time. I havn't smoked a roll-up since.
First month went smoothly, I was getting the nicotine my brain was telling me I needed and was content, and then as my sense of taste started to grow back I became more and more curious about other flavours other than the TW tobacco bottle I was working though, I've tried a good dozen or so flavours from various suppliers, after realising I didn't like fruit flavours I stuck to tobacco type strains as it I found it more satisfying. More and more however I found that the last month or so I just cant get satisfaction from anything I vape. I bought a load of 5ml bottles of various VG based tobacco flavours from liberty flights and found the winston one hitting the spot, so I promptly ordered a 30ml bottle but I've found that this bottle is tasting more and more bland, in fact it seems nothing like the 5ml one I tried... that one had nice oakey notes to it with kind of a cognac taste wich I loved, but the 30ml is just bland with the odd sugary sweet taste that I get from it. Obviously wondering if I've got a duff bottle and whether the 30ml batch is different from the original I tried so I've ordered 2 5ml winston's from LF again, one PG one VG, waiting for delivery and will update on what I find.
I was also having problems with the tank, frequent burnt tastes, then a period of no taste and then short spells of full flavour, I tried various techniques I've read about like a few dry drags first and that seemed to work for a while but again gone. Also more recently getting problems with atomisers just flooding, it happened again this afternoon, full cartridge of juice, put it into the atomiser, a few minutes later gargling noise from the cig, check the tank and its empty, the whole 1ml or so had gone through. In short I'm getting the nicotine but now I crave flavour, also I can't remember the last time I've had a throat hit, was happily getting them all the time initially but nothing now.
Tried new atomisers, new batteries, including a 1000mah auto battery but still un-satisfied, also as I type this just had another atomiser go completely dead on my, no vape at all, this one is only 2 days old, just emailed TW about it.
Please help me vape gurus, I'm in desperate need of advise. Where do I go from here, should I ditch the tank and use something else? If so what? Thoughts on lack of flavour? Did anyone experience similar issues when they started out? I tried a little mini DSE901 recently also and just didn't get on with it for lack of vapour and again no flavour. I want to keep vaping and I'd like to get the flavour and throat hit back. I mostly vape at my computer so keep thinking about the passthrough type affairs, but would also need something portable for when I'm out and about in the car etc.
Keep looking at the cartomiser type cigs also, thoughts on those?
Sorry that turned into such a long post, I'm just lost and felt I needed to get it all of my chest. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris.
