Noob Questions- Hard draw on Ego

[Jonner]

I've been using an EGO since Friday, I have two problems.
1. It's very hard to draw on, I feel like I'm trying to suck a golf ball through a straw, is this normal?
2. If I draw and blow out(not inhaling), I get a nice cloud of vapor, if I inhale it's almost no vapor.

Are the above two related? What am I doing wrong?

First try another atomizer, it sounds like the airways are plugged up, this often happens with new 510 atties and some are DOA.

Remove the cone and see if the draw is easier - if so, it's too tight. I hacksaw 3mm off the top of mine. The cone is good for catching leaks but strangles the air throughput.

Also try an LR atty, they are more powerful.

The airflow for an eGo is through the top of the cone. Depending how you hold it, sometimes you can block it. If you happen to be using a cartomizer, the carto is a bit wider in diameter than the atomizer and it will close off that airflow. Like Rolygate says, you can take off some of the top of the cone - I use a pipe cutter.

Another ploy is to try the mega eGo atomizer (and the cartridge that goes with it). No 'cone' so the airflow is like any normal atomizer - at the battery thread. Also you get 2.5ml of ejuice in that cartridge and it lasts for hours. Better draw and vapor than normal too.

And you're almost always going to get more vapor puffing than inhaling. You can increase vapor by using a VG based ejuice or having some VG in the blend of a PG based ejuice.
