Not very new.....but very confused.

I think I am going to make a long story long trying to understand this.
I think by now I know "how" to use my e-gigarette.
(batteries charged, good atomizer, good cartridge)
I think I may even be getting the juices down right.

My problem.....
I can take about 10 puffs from a new cartridge but then I have to constentially drip (either on the cart, or on the atomizer).
I need to drip 2 drops for about every 5 puffs I take.

If I do not do this, it tastes like I am inhaling some sort of plastic flavor.

My batteries are charged and it is not the primer from the atomizer.
It does it with all my e-cigarettes (DSE901_..Pilot...Penstyles).
Seems I always have to have a bottle of liquid close by because I need to drip or top off way too often.

I clean,drain and shake my atomizers, but with no difference.

What am I doing wrong????

I had this exact problem. After eliminating everything else, I decided it had to be the cartridge causing the problem. I threw out the cartridge and installed a new one, and got a lot more use between topping off or refilling.

And advise from me - just turn your cartridge 360 degrees in atomizer when vapor decreasing and you'll have 5-10 puffs more. It works good with my DSE901B.

Good idea, but I'd say 45 or 90 degrees is a better bet for getting fresh liquid to the atomiser.

A warning: Don't twist the cartridge while it's in place - that can break your atomiser (there's a video somewhere on this site showing how that happens). Take the cart off, realign it, then put it back on.
