One more question lol

[Sally Nevermind]

Sorry to always be asking a million questions!
Ok so I got got something that works for me the volt mini one, except that I still keep getting harsh burnt taste. I know it's got to be something I am doing wrong, because it seems to happen with all the cartos I use. Am I dragging too hard on it? I read to not smoke them like analogs and all the posts about the right way to do it and I am working to try to change the way I do it but I am glitchy and a creature of automatic habit and really having trouble with it. I have no idea how to not inhale into my lungs for instance and I think I am probably pulling too hard without thinking. Any suggestions? I am learning slowly lol, it's just hard when you have been doing something the same way for so many years without thinking.

Oh also I did get the mini clearomizers so would that be better or worse than the prefilled cartos? I really love vaping and haven't had one analog since the volt hit my door this morning so they are definitely cool and now I just need to figure out what it is that I am doing wrong lol.

Is you carto out of juice?

 

[KC33]

Did you try changing cartos? Once one gets burnt it's toast and needs to be tossed.

 

[Grimwald]

When does it taste burnt...immediately or after a bit of use? Do you only used prefilled or do you fill your own? Does this only occur with Smokeless Image cartos which are bottom coil? Are you using different flavors? (perhaps you just don't like that flavor)

The mini tanks are really pretty good for what they are. Nothing spectacular but I used them for a while. At least you can see how much liquid you have left.

 

[Sally Nevermind]

Well it's weird like sometimes it is right out of the box and other times not. That's why I am thinking it is something I am doing. I filled up one of the clearomizers so I can see it and so far haven't had that problem so I think it may be the cartos, both me not realizing they are gone and also some may be bad? I dunno I am so new to all this and so far the only thing keeping me vaping is strong willed determination to make it work lol. I definitely like the volt it does what I need for now (and you can bet a month or so out I'm gonna be upgrading once I become more comfortable with things lol). I definitely also need to get some decent juice because the one I have is terrible lol.
But yep I am using the prefilled ones both the blu and now the smokeless image and both same thing happens.

Sally, I don't know if you've done this or not but If I were you I'd take your equipment and go visit a local vape shop. They might be able to assess your issues in person. You can sample the different juices and look at the equipment to get an idea of what direction you would like to go in a future upgrade. You can always look and come back here to get 2nd opinions. My experiences dealing with the local shops has been positive, the house juice brands are reasonably priced, though most of the equipment is some cheaper online. Good luck.

Also if you don't mind me asking, is the hugely medicinal taste of the liquid due to the high level of nicotine? Or is it just not the best flavoring? Because I could be ok to cut the nicotine in favor of better flavor.

 

[Sally Nevermind]

Oh that is a good idea! Thanks for that suggestion. I was afraid to go in inexperienced but after reading almost every post on this forum lol I'm a little better now. I think I will go ahead and do that tomorrow.

 

[Grimwald]

I would suggest you use the minis for now. Once you find a liquid you like, get some blank cartos from SI (their cartos are really decent). Then you can fill your own cartos. When you are filling your own, then you will know they are full.

Way back when I started it seemed that the prefilled ones really didn't have much liquid in them...didn't last very long.

Ok so took the suggestion to try the local vapor store and I am sure glad I did! The guy in there was very helpful, as well as the 10 or so odd customers rolling in and out. Ended up with and Evod battery and a Kanger T3S clearomizer and a sweet cotton candy juice Glad I went! It was not at all what I expected and now I have an endless supply of juice to try right down the block! The guy even gave his number and told me to call if I get confused he will help me There were even some 70ish year old ladies in there sporting the same setup so that helped my anxiety over the whole huge setup thing. Even the manual battery is less intimidating than I had thought it would be. Tossed the marbs on the way in the door to home and knowing I won't be looking back Thanks again to everyone who helped me get to this point even through all of my confusion and questions everyone was so cool and never made me feel silly or dumb and it was great to walk in having some idea of what was good or bad so I didn't have to fear getting ripped off. I wound up with 2 batteries, a charger, a case, the clearomizer, an extra coil, and a bottle of juice for $54 so not too bad.
One more quick question is it ok to lay this baby down on its side or will it leak out?
Again thanks to everyone for helping me and just being way cool to me even with all my questions lol!!!

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

Lay it down, I never had a problem with leaks. If it starts to roll, put a rubber band around it.

 

[Sally Nevermind]

Thanks so much!!

Welcome Sally

We all had a zillion questions when we first got started. I'm really glad you have a B&M up the street who's helpful for you. That, I believe, makes a huge difference.

Sounds like you have a nice setup. Enjoy the vape
