newbie needs helpful info

Hello everyone,

I am new to vaping and Im having a lot of problems to get my e-cig working properly.
I cant seem to get much vapor if any at all from it and Im wondering if maybe its just the model of cig thats the problem.

I have a e-cig from instead-smoke, it was pretty expensive, I thought it would have worked great, I even purchased a extra one to give to my brother, he said his dont work well either. The 2 kits plus shipping was $240.00 and I feel I have been severly ripped off.
Maybe Im doing something wrong, idk.

any help would sure be appreaciated,
Thanks

To get good vapor your atty coil must be wet but not flooded.
I direct drip to achieve reliable performance.
I don't use carts at all.
18mg juice gives me a medium throat hit.

how long have you had them??

i'd think about returning them and look for a 510, 801, or 901.

you can buy most e-cig starter kits for less than $50 with 2 batts and 2 atomisers.

I have to agree, that seems very expensive. Might look into the KR-808d1/VaporKing as well...provided you can return the ones you bought.

Hi there lostdaze , I am new to this myself.

Not familiar with that brand, I currently use GreenSmoke, and it has plenty of vapor that lingers. I smoke the non-nicotine nowadays cause I miss the feeling of smoking.

I used to be a smoker, quit years ago then found out about e-cigs and as an internet marketer I decided to start selling them as an affiliate partner and will try all brands I promote to see which ones past the test.

Been reading about a lot of brands, some real good, some real bad.

Try smoking it like a cigar, small rapid puffs as it may produce more vapor and take your drags slower and longer. Takes getting used too, the atomizer needs to warm up and you don't need to drag it so hard.

Hope that helps out.

That doesn't seem right at all. Have you looked here on the forums for an answer? You'd be surprised at what you will find. It's probably a simple problem. Either way I'd still try to send em back and go with one of the PVs listed above

good luck!

lostdaze,

Is this the kit you purchased?

Instead Electronic Cigarette Set + eLiquid : Instead Electronic Cigarette, Buy e Cigarettes & Electric Cig Accessories

Wow, that's awfully expensive. Like others have said you should be able to get a good kit for under $50, many times for much less.

I don't know if these are the same people:
Instead Electronic Cigarette, Buy e Cigarettes & Electric Cig Accessories

...but if if it is they have a subforum here at ECF. Maybe you could ask for some help getting it to work (or even a refund).

Instead Electronic Cigarettes - e-cigarette-forum.com

thank you all for your help.

That is the kit I bought, Im not very happy with it, I should have researched to see what is a better e-cig but I figured they were all pretty much the same.

I bought a little more costly one thinking it would be better.
I hate to buy another one but I seen the joye 510 kit for $35.00 no box.
I think I will try one of them to compare the difference and in the meantime I will try to contact instead to see what they have to say about their costly product.

I hate returning things but I feel Ive been cheated.
They claim soon to be famous but they are heading for the wrong kind of fame in my book.

Thank you all

Heres and idea, while you are waiting to hear from them you could buy just a 510 manual passthrough and one atomizer, maybe a 10ml bottle of juice, probably 25-30 bucks, and see if its something you can work with then get the no box deal. Hopefully they will give you your money back. GL!

 

[beckah54]

I hope they will give you your money back and I'm sorry that happened to you.

I bought the 510 with no box from cignot on friday. Mine should be here today, so I can't tell you how it works yet, but I can say that they shipped my order only a couple hours after putting it in, so that was great. I will let you know how it goes when the kit arrives but that's a great deal and I've heard lots of people on here rave about the 510.

When it comes to electronic cigarettes, the most expensive ones are generally the worst choices.
Although I should qualify that and say it does not apply to the big battery models.

But anyway, you are probably having problems because you have an automatic battery.
Give a quick read to the thread linked in my signature.

If you have automatic batteries it will probably take some practice to get it working good.

Stand in front of a mirror and watch the LED as you take drags.
You want to see how hard you need to draw on it to get that LED lit.
And you want to see how hard you need to draw on it to keep it lit as long as possible.

Most people recommend slower, longer draws.
I recommend getting a manual battery.
