thank you

 

[wrigleyvillain]

You are dripping or what?

 

[robert shohet]

i just have the jets tanks that come with it

 

[wrigleyvillain]

Then enough juice is not getting to the coil which is the part that actually heats up. Its underneath the metal mesh "bridge" that you see when you look down in there. My avatar is an atty with the bridge removed so you can just see the heated coil there.

Either release a few drops right on to the atty bridge, drop a few more into the cart until it seems like its gonna overflow or wait awhile longer between drags to let the juice wick down there more. Or a combination of the three.

 

[robert shohet]

ok ill try those and let you kno thank you very much

 

[wrigleyvillain]

Sure thing. You'll have a better experience with more time spent as you learn more about your gear. Though I have also found having an extra battery and atty is not just a good idea for a backup but to use instead when one just doesn't want to play ball. Or to let the other cool down a bit.

alright a hypordermic needle with a few drops on the wick then a few down the side of the bridge into the atty made a world of difference but truth be told carrying around a 22 gauge needle and 3 ml syringe isnt practical lol i work at a hospital btw is there a way to improve the way it wicks?

 

[wrigleyvillain]

Glad to hear. You can't achieve the same just dripping from the juice bottle? Obviously a syringe is more effective but should not be a must. Perhaps "non-generic" juice would be more viscous but thats a stab in the dark.

Note I should also mention that it is possible to overfill and flood the atty and then airflow is cut off and no vapor produced. Sometimes it will be obvious as will leak but not always. If there is excess juice in there it can be blown out into a tissue (put your lips on open, non-threaded end).

 

[fsroq]

Are you shure the polyfill is in contact with the bridge, try to poor it out a little

 

[wrigleyvillain]

Yeah that too. The filler can be adjusted easily with tweezers. Also note you can remove it altogether for a quick and dirty drip tip (though one you have to take off for a sec in order to actually do the dripping).

 

[robert shohet]

so try to pull the stuff in the atty out a lil ill try that also yeah im new sorry im sure uve answered 100 of the same questions different times

 

[robert shohet]

so inside there is a bridge a lil stabby thing to puncture new carts and some stuff in there the stff inside the stabby thing is what should be adjusted?

 

[Citizen_Snips]

Get a tankomizer or two from volcano e-cig and follow their video instructions. No more burnt taste, but smooth consistent vapor. Drop the needles and cotton, bc you don't want your GF or MOM asking you what the .... is going on..

 

[robert shohet]

tankomizers from volcano wont fit the jantyego xl ...will they?

 

[wickedmama]

I have the ego t and what I do when I get the burnt taste is take that atty off the battery and drop 1-4 drops of juice in to the hole of the atty on the battery end then drop a couple drops on the spike and im good to go.

 

[rmrlevoir]

Wickedmama is right I have the ego-t and I drop juice in to the hole of the atty on the battery then drop a couple on the spike and it works well.

 

[rmrlevoir]

Oh were is my manners, thank you Wickedmama for the re-enforcement. I thought I was doing a bad thing by putting those extra drops in the atty and spike. My problem now is that the tanks sometimes leak all over the e-cig. Why???? Please help

Your welcome are you blowing your atty out at all? If not then its probley flooded. No problems though Just take your tank out and blow it out from the battery end and get all that access juice out of there then just add one drop of juice to the battery end and the spike and you should be good to go.

Edit: You could also be drawing on it too hard which will cause the atty to flood too

 

[robert shohet]
