RE-newbe has a few more questions

[erinmc]

Hello All-
I haven't been here in a while (about 2 months) Going on over 3 months with no analogs (not even the drag I was gonna let myself have to see how it felt) I need some more liquid and maybe an atty or two (my 1st one finally died) and I have a few questions--(I have a joy ego and have really only been using an atty and dripping)

1. Does it mean an atty is dead or about to die if it keeps burning my throat?
2. It seems like Im constantly dripping and only get about 5 or 6 good hits before I have to drip again and then I seem to drown the atty
3. How do you find if there are sales on liquid or attys--do you have to go to each website?
4. I was hoping to find a supplier that I could get 3mg of flavorless and/or tabacco flavor ( I have been using Velvet Vapors but the recent 0mg flavorless I got from them tastes weird)

5. I saw something about a tank mod or something like that (what is that)

Looks like they are kind of high on juice. Have you ever tried Blue Mist?

I'm gonna answer cuz you're in Herndon...lol...jk

1. Is the taste burnt? When my atty's die, they literally die...doesn't fire, and doesn't register resistance on the voltmeter.
2. That's about right...it all depends on your vaping style...try not to flood the atty.
3. There's a deals thread on here that users will post up current deals; there's a master coupon code list; in the ECF supplier subforum, vendors will post up their current sales.
4. I would recommend BlueMistVaping; they are in Maryland, so it'll get to you quick, plus, they're great.
5. The tank system is a tank atty and tank cartridge...holds a mL or so of juice--compatible to eGo type batteries (or any 510 threading with adapters on mods).

1, Have you ever washed you atty? My attys taste bad and seem weaker after a week. Then I wash the used one and switch to my other clean dry one after priming it with juice.

And get a spare atty. I like LiteCigUSA.net - cheap shipping

2. If the atty is burning your throat then it may be all gunky and needs cleaning

3. Most respectable sites have Supplier forums on this board - you can visit their forums - that is how I stumbled on the FreedomSmokeUSA 30% off juices sale last week. And sign up at a bunch of good sites and you may probably get email when they have a sale. (some do that and some don't)

4. You could mix 6mg and 0 mg to make 3mg. I have never seen 3mg. or order 6mg at FreedomSmokeUSA (the normal sizes, not the samplers) and in your order comments say you want 3ml. they recently said they will mix them at a custom nicotine level if you ask.

5. I only have slim ecigs and know nothing about Egos

Re Velvet Vapors - they have some tasty stuff - more flavor and a nice amount of sweet in the sweet ones. I love their Velvet Blend PG/VG. I also like FreedomSmokeUSA and Backwoods Brew.

All the others seemed to get the gist of your answers. As for the atty and cleaning, if you do a search on "refurbishing" on the forum you will find an easy method that can often restore an atty that has appeared to have given up the ghost. Would post the link, but my mouse is on crack or something.

One way - If your atty seems to be all metal except for any white wicks under the bridge then you can try cleaning with near-boiling water.

First blow out the atty into a tissue. Put the very hot water in a bowl and lay the atty in it. Make sure all air bubbles are out of the atty (you can use a tongs to tilt the atty underwater to get the air bubbles out). Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then scoop some water through it. If it still looks dirty, repeat.

The shake it out very well and you can use a blow dryer to dry it well. Then prime the bridge with 3-4 drops of juice.

Thanks all...I forgot to ask: Is there something better to use in the cartridge than the filler they put in there. I heard that you can use something from the pet store. Does it work better?

Let me know if anyone hears of any sales (I don't have a lot of time to go searching)

No time to search for free money? You can try http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/pay-forward-pif/85781-deals-steals.html for what others have found. Of course there is E Cigarette Suppliers Forum where the vendors themselves post their sales.

The two pet store cart mods I am familiar with are the Fluval Water Polishing Pads and Marineland Rite-Size U bonded foam sleeve. There may be others, but they would not be as popular as these two.

Several places should be starting Valentine's Day Sales. Never did understand that, guess it is the romantic image of double vaping.
