Newb here with a newb question (surprise!)

[ryguyli]

Hey everyone! It's nice to finally stop lurking and actually post something, although I feel like a total newb with the problem I'm having.

Short intro first: I've been lurking for about 4 weeks now. Ordered my first e-cig 3 weeks ago after doing much research here on the forum. Figured my safest bet was the 510, and sure enough I've pretty much loved it for the almost 3 weeks I've been using it.

There's just one problem I've been having that I can't seem to get rid of no matter what I try. Often when I take a hit from my 510, I take it out of my mouth and there's liquid on the mouthpiece and my lips. Usually blowing out the atty helps this go away for a bit, but it's come back to haunt me enough that I need to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong. I don't overflow my cartridges (at least, I don't think I do), I don't suck like I'm trying to drink an extra thick milkshake when I'm taking a hit.. I'm all out of ideas, somebody please help!

(Geez, I feel like such a noob...)

That seems to be an overfilled cart. Take the part off the mouthpiece(the part that goes in your lips) and use a twisted papertowel and get the juice out of there. You can use your bottle tip to suck some juice out of the cart or just dab it with a papertowel. Anyone else have ideas?

I think you (HzG8rGrl) answered it.

But heck..he's been vaping longer then me by a few days LOL.

All I could possibly add is maybe he's sucking too hard and might be a passthrough or 5 volt personaility.

OR like me.... I find under high stress or a few cocktails..I tend to drag harder and get liquid. He says he doesn't overfill..so I'd guess trapped liquid between the mouth piece or hitting it too hard.

yuck, brings back bad memory of when i was a kid and got my mouth washed with soap.
i gave up filling carts. 3 drops on the atty @ 5 volts, thats all i need. i get 4 or 5 good hits, if i need more , drip drip drip

 

[smokingisbad]

Yeah, on my 510 I just take the filler out and drip 2-3 drops on the atty, this is about a cigarettes worth to me. No juice in the mouth, more flavor, more throat hit,and less hassle. Only do this if you are using a manual (push button). Also, dont mix flavors b/c it usually does not taste good and you will have to clean your attys. GL and Welcome!!! ps. I might be able to help you with other questions aswell

@ HzG8rGrl & natura

At first I thought it could have been overfilled carts, but I'm very careful not to overfill and sometimes it happens even when I have a half-used cart. I'm guessing natura is right and, even though I thought I wasn't, I'm sucking too hard.

@ natura & motorcity57

Guess it's time I start looking into this whole 5v thing I keep seeing people mention

@ smokingisbad

Thanks for the tip. Next paycheck I'm gonna put in an order for more attys so I don't have to mix flavors. You're right, I haven't many good combinations as of yet.

 

[smokingisbad]

What is your main vape juice right now?

 

[ryguyli]

Right now I've just got a few standard tobacco flavors (most likely Dekang), menthol and mint because my girlfriend's a menthol smoker and I figured it'd be easier to have her try those flavors, and some pineapple. Not really happy with the tobacco flavors. I think I'm going to place an order through Ms. T's next time around, not sure what flavors though.

 

[smokingisbad]

Well if you use only one flavor on one of those attys you can try to drip, this may help you out and find it more enjoyable.

 

[ryguyli]

Just tried dripping.. in my opinion, it certainly does taste better. Guess I just found my vaping method of choice when I'm not on the go (or at least until I figure out how to drip while driving )

 

[smokingisbad]

awesome, yeah that is the only time it is annoying
