Really hot Cartomizers?

[wader2k]

As far as adjusting your vaping form the way you smoked....That's a big 10-4! vaping really is a new paradigm and doesn't directly compare to smoking.
Whereas smoking provides more of an instant rush..vaping provides more of a maintenance nic level. You will find your habit changing as you become more familiar with vaping. No need to try and mimic your actions as a smoker.

All very good advice. I received my new order and picked up two more batteries. Thus, before I try upping my nic level (currently at 18) I will try switching out every other drag with a diff battery. At least now I know what to "look for" in determining a bad batt.

I think I will also drop a couple drops in after every "smoke" and see if it subsides.

Also, clearly I need to adjust my vaping from the way I smoked.

Once again, thanks everyone!
