No vapor w/ new cart and e liquid?

[Sharpie]

I recently bought empty carts, with the filter and everything, and tried them out today. I also tried a new liquid, 0nic French Vanilla from Johnsons Creek.

So, the issue is I'm not getting any vapor at all. I can taste the e liquid (not really feeling any throat hit, but that might be because I'm sick atm.)

What could be the problem? I can't test it out with my old e-liquid because, well, I lost it.

I'm using a Joye510.

Another quick question - The last 2 e liquids I've had had this sweet-taste that overwhelms the actual flavor. Is this because of the PG? I'm not looking for tobacco-flavor, but I'd like it to taste something like chocolate/strawberry/etc syrup... not just syrup.

I'm going to guess that your atty is horribly flooded. Do you hear any gurgling? Is the body of the atty getting hot?

If so... remove the atty and blow it out. Wouldn't be surprised if you got a lot of liquid out of it.

Johnson Creek juice is thin.
It can flood an atomizer fairly easily if you are used to thicker juices.

Also, zero nicotine juice presents a throat hit problem.
Mainly because nicotine content really ups the throat hit, in general.

There are ways to increase throat hit for zero nicotine juice.
Just read throught the DIY e-liquid subforum here.

I believe the op said he was getting 'no' vapor.

I'm a newbie also, but I figure something is wrong with your atomizer. After you check it, make sure it is screw on snug to the battery. Make sure your cartridge is 'pushed' on the atomizer all the way. Check the atomizer and see if it is getting warm.

Techno...

You could absolutely be correct. His atty could be completely dead... dunno. Was trying to get the guy into a dialogue, but he just disappeared.

Scott......you're probably right, maybe he'll come back tomorrow.

Sorry about this thread guys, I've been pretty much sick in bed since posting it!

Scottbee, your method worked, but the atty appears to be getting flooded everytime I refill (using a syringe.) I guess I am just not used to this juice yet.

did you try just cutting back on amount or trying to use drops onto the fiber?

If the juices you are talking about are all Johnson Creek, then they have that yucky syrupy aftertaste. Their old recipe didn't have it, but their new recipe does. Some people like it, but I really don't. Try a different suppliers liquid and I think you will see a big difference.

Darn, I was hoping Johnson Creek would be a keeper! My first supplier was Healthcabin, but I think the taste of that was tainted by the menthol flavor I had to rinse out.

I'll have to go back to trying filling it up with the dropper.

Totally agree with laurie but if you want to taste the good old stuff, some flavors still are available here:

Johnson Creek Smoke Juice - Old Formula

Quick question about Johnson's Creek - what is unique to their new formula? Because I'm getting cough/irritation I didn't get with my first eLiquid. I read that they add citric acid, so maybe it's that?
