Put your eGo on steroids

[theopold]

Ditto to that, Switched! That's a boatload of info and poor TD is now officially overwhelmed Ah, but I guess that's how it was in the beginning when I first started vaping and slowly but surely I AM making progress...

Regarding your comment about LR's not intended for use with carts, can you expand on that a little? I like the PTB cart mod for obvious reasons...if I keep using it with the LR will things start breaking faster/more often or it just a user experience issue?

Finally, I also get the dry mouth/dry throat thing on both LR and standard atty's and I seem to get this effect regardless of which liquid I use out of the 7-odd flavors I've purchased up to this point. BTW, I should mention that I've been cheating with analogs since I started vaping seriously with the Ego while slowly cutting back on the analogs and I didn't really have the dryness issue the first few weeks of vaping. Anyway...I'm going full on vaping as of basically now so it sounds like it's time to start paying attention to the PG/VG part of the equation rather than just identifying flavor preferences. Oh, and thanks for all the good info

IMHO, there isn't a cart or cart mod that can feed the atty fast enough, I tried but hey you are welcome to try as well. They were meant for dripping. You get a foul taste if the atty is not kept at the right moisture. For dripping I recommend at least a 80/20 even 75/25 PG to VG ratio. Some are using higher concentrations of VG a la 6V or better mods, and are coming to find out tthey are going through attys like you wouldn't believe.

I had the same problem until I went completly off analogs all together. PG is a humectant and you should drink lots of fluids while vaping (read H2O). Gargle with mouthwash I use scope before going to bed and drink a glass of water. Within a couple of days it should go away. Adding 1 drop of marshmallow/3ml takes the dryness away from "dry tasting" juices without affecting the flavour.

You are welcome!

Hey, will you guys try something for me? I don't know if I've just completely gone bonkers (a strong possibility ) or if this really IS working like it seems to be.

Take a puff off a cart-filled atty for about 2 seconds, without pressing the button, then press the battery button while you're still sucking in. For some reason it eliminates the dry atty taste when using fillers. I read this in a post from a new member that didn't appear to know what he was talking about but I tried it anyway and I don't understand why but I swear it works. 8-o

Be gentle with me dear friends. LOL

 

[Switched]

OK, I'll be gentle. I don't get a dry atty taste, just a flavourful taste. As a matter of fact I usually hit the button a sec or two before I start sucking, much much better.

You better not let you wife know you're talking to me that way!!! 8-o

Both ways seem to work equally as well. Yeah, the taste is much better than sucking at the same time you hit the button.

 

[Switched]

LOL

I tried buddy's method and found it to be bogus. As a matter of fact I believe a nice slow suck provides the best vapour and flavour. Geeeeez that sounded dirty.

His/her method gives you a couple of seconds of air, we don't want air, we want vapour. Hitting the switch a second or so before you actually start to draw ensure the atty is producing vapour so, you are in fact getting more vapour than air.

For those that experienced a 2 part system, plugging one of the holes with scotch tape provided for more vapour that having both holes open, hence less air. Not only that, it activated the auto battery better.

I think most people vape liked they smoked, taking quick drags. Vaping does not work that way, as your sucking in too much air IMHO. Nice and slow is the WTG. A metaphor...

I cook, a damn good one at that. Most folks buy what I call "boxed stuff", takes them 20-30 minutes to prepare a meal, that tastes like "boxed stuff". It takes me 30 minutes to cook supper from scratch. Who are they fooling? Oh, I forgot! That microwave thingy meal folks cook, check how long it takes to cook one, counting the standing time.

Nice and slow is always better

I purchased the 510 LR atty for my eGo and it arrived last week or the week before. The vapor is SO FREAKING GREAT that I ordered 2 more attys .. WOW .. what a difference!

 

[sherlynn]

Your welcome! I'm retired so I picked up surfing.

LOL

You know what I hate the most about vaping? Where the hell is my lighter so I can light the charcoal.

Or where is my lighter to light the candles on the cake or just to lite candles? there might be one in the garage where we used to smoke. I really enjoying vaping inside the house. Haven't been able to do that since vaping as we always smoked outside-didn't matter what the weather was.

 

[larktdl]

LRs are the only way to go.

When I switch back to the regular 510 atty (with cart and PTB) or cartomizers I just don't get the same effect.

Since the results are excellent with the LR, I don't even mind dripping anymore.

Last but not least, even most DIY juices are better. For example, I could not stand FA Maxboro Ultimate (mixed 4 drops flavouring to 16 drops PG & nic) but via dripping/LR atty I have to admit this DIY is pretty good.

Hey Guys,
I use the 2.0 LR atty from Ikenvape and like the way it works, for me anyways..
I would like to know if anyone here has used that cart mod from ZFMVapors?
That should be able to work with LR attys well enough and b4 I go purchase those (to me kinda expensive) I would like for others to chime in here about them..

 

[Switched]

Stu,

I have never used the ZFM plug. I tried making my own and they were, well ya know sheet. I use the HighPing Plug mod, with great success, with all kinds of liquid and no problems. It even feeds a 1.5Ohm atty if you are careful. I believe the HP mod should work like a charm.

I am waiting for Isaac to fill the rest of his inventory, I need other attys. I will be giving the 2.0 Ohm a whirl on my eGo. I don't like giving the 1.5 a whirl on the eGo, too much draw IMHO. But the 2 Ohm is close enough to stock and the C draw seems OK.

 

[stubear62]

Never seen the HP mod at all.
Actually, this is the first time I heard of it.

The Highping Cart Mod (as simple as it gets) - E-Cigarette Forum

By varying the thickness or qty of fill, it works with all juices. As I have stated many times, this is as close to dripping as anyone can get, sucks them dry, no flooding and beat 'em all hands down. It is well worth giving it a whirl.

I buy polyfill that is 1/2 thick, cut it 1/16 wider than the cart widest part and about 1/4" deep. I do not ball it up as such. This stuff is so cheap, I don't even wash it. When it becomes "greasy" I just toss it and put in a new one. This plug keeps the liquid in suspension and does not "wick" it perse. I have never burnt a plug, it doesn't stick to my atty and I do know when the cart is dry. I started off with the PTB mod, but found it held too much liquid which required topping off to often and would often see where the PTB had teated up.

This mod is so good Stu, no one can ever convince me of trying anything else. It works for 510s but a modified version of it is required for 801s (because of the qty of liquid an 801 holds a little more than 1ml)

What is not is the new drip tip from NHaler. Got mine today and will not be reordering them. They are simply not worth the price tag and will not properly fit the eG0 with the cone on.

The Delrin drip tips I have from Nhaler fit my Ego fine, with cone on, and I have 6 of them, they all fit, but that's just me.... I love them !

 

[Switched]

The first run did not!!! Drew went back to the drawing board. When these were invented, Drew hadn't heard of the eGo.
