Noob question about eGo-v....

[kpmeth]

ok, after i tried blu for about 4 days and now im trying to get used to eGo-v I bought with blu.

ive searched youtube and other people seem like getting ALOT more vapor than i do.

for me, im using 3.7 v to 4.0 v

it hits me pretty good but when I exhale, I dont really see enough vapor comes out and im like.... man.. thats it?!

is there anything that you have to do when you using eGo?

because blu gets me almost same amount of exhale vapor like it was regular cigs.

Hi

The eGo is just a power source. You need to be looking how the liquid is being vaporized. What kind of juice delivery system are you using (clearo, carto, EVOD, etc.)? What kind of juice are you using? Pg/vg ratio? Nicotine level? We need more information to offer suggestions.

i have read multiple threads and i realized that I bought wrong ejuice.

mine came from this local Tabacco shop and the bottle has no numbers at all.
it seems dangerous lol

it just says high nicotine thats all...

i should stay away from them right?

The cig-a-likes I used to use came in low, medium and high - which were roughly 6mg, 12mg and 18mg. If you like the taste of the juice, there's no reason to avoid it, but being able to change the pg/vg ratio can affect the kind of vapor you produce. And the nic level is a factor in th and taste.

pg (propylene glycol) = stronger th
vg (vegetable glycerine) = thicker vapor

vg is thicker than pg, so on some devices it may get gunky and not wick as well, but some people have a sensitivity to pg, so use 100% vg.

ETA: What are you putting the juice in?

I'm guessing it's a clearomizer.

 

[kpmeth]

any difference between clearmizer & cartomizers?

sorry for these super noob questions..

Too much information alert!

(This is a copy and paste from my files, so may be a little over the top.)

A cartomizer (carto) is a tube with batting/filler material inside, wrapped around a heat coil. The material is saturated with e-liquid that vaporizes when comes in contact with the heat coil. A carto can be used by itself with a drip tip. It can also be used inside of a carto tank.

Carto Tank

"Tank" is a rather loose term. Technically, it would be anything that holds a reserve of liquid, but there are many different kinds, which are often referred to be other names.


Top Coil Clearomizers (clearo):

The wicks draw the liquid in the tank up to heating element (head) a the top.

CE4/5/6/(insert current version) aka Stardust - The wicks come in various lengths and the heads in different resistances. Some CE*s have replaceable heads, some don’t. CEs screw onto the external "eGo" threading around the outside ring of the battery device.

Vivi Nova - is another type of top coil. It has replaceable heads in different resistances.

Bottom Coil Clearomizers (BCC):

The coil is on the bottom. It still has wicks, but they are tiny and hard to see. With a BCC, the replaceable “heads” are screwed into the bottom.

Kanger EVOD

Kanger Protank (Pyrex)

There are lots of other devices, these just tend to be the most common with new vapers. This is how they fit onto an eGo:

LOL I was updating it as you were reading it. I have tons of info, but I try not to overwhelm people.

CE4s can be fussy little critters - but vape gear in general has quirks. This is a new frontier! CE4s can get gunky if the vg ratio is too high (it's thicker than pg) and the wicks can also dry out. You have tip them back and forth periodically to keep them wet.

You'll soon find that every device has people who like it and people who don't, but now that you have a rough idea of what they look like threads about specific devices should make more sense.

thanks.
so each of different clearomizers got each different vapor right?

and the amount of vapor is all depends on what kinda ejuice you use correct?

ejuice im using has no info at all.
well its thicker than other one i bought which is mint flavor. but very little vapor when exhaled.

i should have learned more before I bought one.. i guess i will shop for better hardware this weekend

It's a learning curve - you cant avoid it - but you're not smoking, which is the important thing. I still use everything I've ever bought or have given it to friends starting out.

I'm going to clarify the terms a bit. Juice is the e-liquid. When it comes in contact with a heat element it makes vapor. That's true if you're using a Blu or a larger device. What clearos and other delivery systems do it deliver the juice to the heating element, they do it in different ways and you kind of have to experiment with what you like. It's not the same for everyone. For example, there are people that rave about Vivi Novas, I have some but don't like them very much. I like a cool vape, some like it warmer; taste is more important to me than huge plumes, and so on.

The amount of vapor has a few factors: pg/vg ratio, the delivery system, temperature and whether you like it enough to be vaping it in the first place
