So angry at this im ready to go back to smoking.

My setup.
Ego 650 Mah
Kanger T3s
Bobas Bounty


Im so ...... at the inconsistency of all of these clearomizers and atomizers. I want something I fill once a day, doesnt leak, gives clean consistent flavor and I dont have to go and search for replacement parts after a day because the wick burned.

Am I the problem? Ive used cartridges, atomizers, stardusts, and now T3s. Nothing has functioned properly for 2 days in a row. If not a burnt wick its a leak. if not a leak its constant gurgling.

T3 is as close as I can get. I can steady vape on 18 mg juice at times and then bam!!!! Burnt wick. I went with t3 because of the bottom feed system but that doesnt even help.

Anybody!!! Help! Im nearly ready to throw in the towel.

 

[HyperRealist]

I started dripping because I got sick of messing with clearos. I only use clearo when I'm driving. Next I am going to either get a bottom feeder or a RBA.

 

[transamspirit]

Its ridiculous that I buy 5 replacement heads and all of them are now so hard to draw that my cheeks hurt and I burn the wicks.

Ive got an innoken iclear coming and if it doesnt work im afraid im running out of options

Hi Transam, It sucks, but there is no magic bullet as far as I know. I agree that there are major consistancy issues especially with the ce style units. The top oils are spotty at best, the bottom coils either flood and leak or dont wick well and burn. Your liquid may be a large part of the issue with the t3 because of the thickness. You may want to get a pair of tweezers and pull out a few small strands of the wick. Like a few very small hairs. Then clean and dry burn the head to get rid of the foul burning taste, re assemblle and go from there. I have done this a few times with great success most of the time. Once I did remove too many fibers from the wick and got nothing but flooding/leaking. The t3 is a very resistant atomizer and can be cleaned and dry burned with great results. Give it a try, what do you have to loose? Good Luck.

I've noticed I get the burned taste if I fire more than 2 seconds in my CE4 clearos. I run 80/20 PG/VG, and I've noticed much better performance than with higher VG mixes. (Bobas is a 100% VG right?)

I don't have a T3, but was looking at the MT3 as I like my clearos but would like the color to match my KGO battery.

 

[transamspirit]

Higher PG causes my throat to swell. Can only do VG I will give the wick pulling method a shot. And whats dry burning?

 

[Baditude]

The problem is the juice you're vaping: Boba's Bounty.

It's 100% vg, and is thick as molassis. You might try diluting it down with some distilled water.

It's been my experience that the thicker juices are not wicked easily by the string-wicked clearos. Cartomizers do a little better job with this juice, but I've still had problems with Boba's in my cartotanks, even after triple punching the cartos and diluting it with water.

If you are dead set to use Boba's, you may need to resort to using a dripping atomizer. No issues with wicking or clogging, as you are dropping the juice right on the atomizer itself. Or, once you've gotten more experience and a mechanical mod, try a rebuildable atty (rba).

 

[The Ocelot]

For me, the most consistent vape I've found is a carto tank, hands down.

 

[brhollifield]

Wow... sucks to hear this... I can tell you that I run a Vivi Nova with Boba's Bounty in it and haven't had any problems... maybe give that a shot?

 

[Tanti]

Id do 50/50 with a clearo. It works fine for me, im using a nova mini right now and have not had an issue.

 

[Tankman77]

Agree with Ocelot. Clearos and cartos are very inconsistent, and just when they get to hitting good and producing a good vape....*cough*...dry nasty burnt taste. Get yourself a good carto (ikenvape Fusion or Platinum) https://www.ikenvape.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1631
and a nice glass or pyrex tank. IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us! or Triple V Pyrex 4ml Tank
You will be MUCH happier!!!!
Hang in there, we all have small set backs. Dont get discouraged. You got this handled!!
Keep Vapin,

A good carto, and tank, provides Consistency.

I've used a notcigs m1a1 tank, with IkenVape cartos, for 18 months straight. Replaced one oring in all that time, have run about 2 liters of eliquid through the tank.

I use 801 fusions, punch my own though IkenVape now sells prepunched too. His platinum are also quite good, and I'll be buying some of his 510 connector fusions, due in soon.

Me, too.... my chibi tank is what I keep using while I fiddle around with the other stuff......

 

[HyperRealist]

How many of you carto tank fanboys use 100% VG?

 

[ardelleg]

Guess I must be a fangirl...... some of the juices I use are 100% VG, including Boba's

 

[in4mati0n11]

+1 for dripping... Best flavor and unless you put to much in, no mess. give it a whirl... you will be buying rebuildable dripping atomizers in no time... I recommend the A7, the fatty v2 and phoenix... All great vapes

Dripping bobas works great too

 

[in4mati0n11]

all I vape is 100% or 90/10 vg/pg.... PG makes my skin feel greeeeezy, like a fry cook...

 

[markfm]

A well crafted 0pg mix does fine in a standard carto tank setup. If you're getting super thick blends chat with the vendor, this stuff isn't magic

 

[bdeef]

Vivi nova mini. No leaks, consistent taste... I don't even clean it. I switch juices & never taste the old juice.

 

[ohnoitsthomas]

I pretty much only vape Boba's and I have found that dripping with a LR atty is pretty much the only way to go unless you want to go down the RBA route which Im sure you probably don't.

It also might be a good idea to try a different batt like the EGO twist so you can ramp up the voltage to get that Bobas cooking a little better.
