Not sure if this is working

[Trapper Shrek]

I have been vaping for about a month and a half now, Have not had a cig since I started.
Right now I am to the point where I cannot get a flavor to taste good. They all taste bad or burn the coils fast.
It seems like I cannot get a good all day vape. I did have some gandalf and liked that but my new order did not ship until today.

I have bought a bunch of equipment and nothing is going good. My vivi nova heads are tasting burnt within a day, my cartomizer tank burned up, and most of the juices are gross to me.

I cannot stop thinking about a cigarette I want one so bad.

What strength you using,are your juices from a good supplier,they maybe clogging your machine,something sounds weird here.

Are you making sure you get the wicks good & moist before you start vaping? Just ordered some new tanks the only day to ask a ? & she told me to make sure I did that cause shed burned the wicks a couple times herself by not giving them a few mins to absorb the liquid. Also, if you haven't cleaned your tanks/clearos that could be a good indication that you need too. Hope this helps!!

I have juices from, Heathers heavenly vapes, Johnson creek, BWB, freedomsmokesusa, mt baker vapor, and a couple other Hi quality places. most are 70/30 or 80/20 and most are 24nic or 12nic

Vivi novas were doing that to me before I started washing them before use and giving them a good dry burn.

Yes I do, also it is the coil that gets caked with burnt crap, if I take it apart, clean, and dry burn they taste normal for most of the day then start tasting burnt again.

I have been cleaning and dry burning my novas almost everyday

A bit more information would help us help you. Are you dry burning the Vivi Nova heads when you clean them? You said your 'cartomizer tank burned up' - I take it you mean the cartomizer. Correct me if I've misunderstood. How long have you been using the carto, or carto's? Once performance deteriorates with these they are hard to clean, especially if they get bad.

If you are using variable voltage, are you maybe turning the voltage up too high?

Flavor will start to seem less intense after vaping a juice for a while. A lot of people find this. I have at least 3 different juices going at the same time to keep this effect minimized.

Don't give up ... you can do this

 

[Ryedan]

Wow ... lots of quick responses and a lot of my questions to you answered!

 

[Ryedan]

Were the novas good at first?

 

[Trapper Shrek]

Yes to dry burning. Carto was used about 4 days then it was tasting really bad so I threw it away. I was not aware I could clean them. I was going to order new replacements but not until I find something good to vape.

Yeah it seems so, I have been using 2 different vv's and a bolt mod. Only seem to get a day on a new head before it starts tasting burnt.

 

[Ryedan]

I find that I only get a few days on a carto with some juices. I use a Stardust or VN for those.

I find the VN does not handle high voltage well and will give dry, burnt hits then easily. And also get dirty way fast.

Nothing is going to taste good if your delivery system isn't working. Nova heads and cartos are pretty cheap, so if those were working for you before, I would order more. I think a dripping atomizer would be recommended for tasting juice, though.

 

[Ryedan]

One thing I did with my VN which I thought improved the performance - lower the metal ring inside the silicone sleeve that's over the head just slightly. I used a small eyeglass screwdriver. When putting it back together I was carefull not to screw the tube to the bottom piece tight and the same with the top piece. I got noticeably better wicking out of it which really helped what you are describing. YMMV.

Well I went and bought a pack of smokes, Had one and it was terribly disgusting, The next day I had 2 more until the mail came and I got my new bottle of Mount Baker's Moo juice. I threw the pack of smokes away. I got a big bottle of Gandalf to so I am good to go. I have not had my vivi nova's burn with these juices and I dont think I will ever smoke a cigarette again. Gross LOL
