newbie cant get good vapor

[tito]

Help me!!!!!!!
I just received my cloud 9 e-cigarette yesterday.
cant get cigarette to produce anything like what is shown in the videos online. Not even enough vapor to be satisfying.
I watched the you tube video on how to draw on the thing.
messed with dripping liquid right on the bridge on the atty. Topped off the cartridges, i cant get this thing to work well.

It will produce an ok amount of vapor right after i drip some smoke juice on the bridge, but after a hit or two, its back to nothing.

Getting VERY frustrated.


Thanks for any help

Sounds like you have flooded your atty. If you hear it sizzle thats good, if you hear it gurgle thats bad. hope that helps.

sounds flooded.. take off the atomizer and blow out the juice in there real good into a paper towel or something that will catch the juice.

Just keep on vaping on it and see if the vapor increases. Only drop a couple of drops on the atomizer bridge.

I dont think its flooded. the only way i get a halfway decent hit is to drop some liquid directly on the bridge. after a couple hits, the vapor goes down to almost nothing.

When i direct drop, i do get a sizzle sound. only lasts a couple hits.
Its like the liquid in the cart isn't wicking down.

This is very frustrating. in order to get a good hit, i have to have it so full that liquid leaks out everywhere. If it doesnt leak, then no hit

WHAT AM I DOIN WRONG?????????

Sounds like your device is working properly from your description. Make a mental list of those things you wish your current device could do better and use that list when you start looking for a new device. Consider things like vapor production, throat hit, cartridge capacity, battery life, etc.

Now that's weird.. have the same issue with my brand new screwdriver. if you let it sit five minutes does it start producing again? Sounds like a wicking issue.

So you think its all good? Just the limitation of the device?

That's dissapointing. If thats the case, this suckers going back

Definitely sounds like a wicking issue. Make sure your cart is full. Use a paper clip to allow the cart to fill. You might try a blue foam plug. It wicks really well but for me it floods the atty (when it works, it is great). Personally I use the ptb with lips mod and it is perfect. Correct your wicking problem and enter vape heaven.

If you choose to send it back, I would look into purchasing a 510. Great vapor and throat hit. They have these for 35 bucks at cignot.com GL and Welcome!!! ps. you may want to look up the joye 510 to get the idea

The Super-T line of custom vaporizers is made in MN. If you are not too far, perhaps forcedfuel50 will let you visit and try some of his hand-crafted devices. At least you would have something else to compare against your current device.

I agree! 510 was my first purchase and so far its awesome. The battery life is a bit poopoo but as Leaford states it does produce solid vapor to the bitter end.

The 510 is definatly not perfect for wicking either. I currently just drip on mine, got to frustrating with the carts.

Hey breakfast chef, what's this Super-T you speak of?

Here is the link http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/rhoneil/408-another-ptb-mod.html . The op says to roll the ptb longways, I fold it longways (I think 4 folds). I do not fray the ptb at all. When folded correctly, it acts as a plug and seems to wick perfectly. This is easily removed and I refill to approximately half way in the cart then put the ptb back in (the first fill is just below the top of the cart to totally saturate the ptb). I get about 15 or so sizzling hits (maybe a lot more but I never count). I use a 510 atty on a nicostick but it works just as well on my 510 batt. As the cart starts to dry you can get a couple of good hits before refilling by shaking the juice down with a slinging motion kinda like playing rock scissors paper. This is the best mod I found.
