Brand new to all this. I bought the FIFTY ONE "DUO". Seems when they work, they taste burnt, that's when they work. Am I doing something wrong? So I decided to try something different so I bought a eGo-K(CE4). Charged it, filled it....and it seems like it works great, but here is my question. I know I am getting the vape when I inhale, but when I exhale, I don't see anything. Am I not supposed to?
So confused

ive never had that. id always see at least a little vapor. it might be something youre doing wrong, or maybe just a bad setup?
No. You are supposed to see the white vapor when you exhale. I have no idea why you don't. Sorry. Try another liquid and/or another cartomizer. I'd recommend eGo Mega Dual Coil cartomizers.
There's a couple of things that can cause low vapor on exhale. One is insufficient voltage for the resistance of the atomizer and the other is juice. PG will produce noticeably lower vapor than VG for the same voltage/resistance ration in the atomizer. On a standard eGo battery, the output voltage is about 3.4v. That matches well with a 2-2.5 ohm coil. a 2 ohm coil should give you clouds of vapor with a good juice.
If you inhale and hold vapor, the amount of vapor is reduced on exhale. Nic is absorbed from vapor more efficiently in the mouth and sinuses. The lungs coat with PG or VG, but the larger particle size of vapor as opposed to the ash size from smoking tobacco prevents nic from being absorbed in the lungs at the same rate as burning tobacco.
If you want good exhale vapor, inhale shallowly and exhale through the nose. The sinuses are more efficient at absorbing nic from vapor than the lungs. You can even absorb nic from vapor by just holding it in your mouth for a while before blowing it out.
A mechanical cause of low vapor is a flooded atomizer, carto, or tank. That's usually exhibited by gurgling on inhale.

I've had this happen now and again, and as mentioned already, no, it's not supposed to happen like that. I'm not certain what all can cause it, but my own personal experience has been that it's not getting enough power. For me it's been a low battery, bad connection (such as juice in the connection), or just a bad carto. There are probably other causes, but those are the only ones that I've been able to successfully troubleshoot so far.
Sounds to me like those cartos are dry so no vapor and a burnt taste. Glad you are trying something else. Best of luck.
there is a lot of vapor but I am a pretty heavy smoker and inhale really deep. Could it be getting lost in my lungs. Tastes a lot better than my E Cigs.
Three quick thoughts. One would be "your style of vaping". Are you pressing the button on your eGo-k for a good 5-6 seconds or longer and letting you mouth fill up with vapor before inhaling? Sometimes people new to vaping take quick shallow hits which result in vapor reduction. It is like they are fearful of breaking or burning up the device. Second, would be "your delivery device". The eGo-k might deliver better vapor production with a lower resistance CE4. Try ordering one at around 2.0 ohms (if you do not understand what this means please do not be afraid to ask). Third, would be "your PG/VG ratio". The type of e-liquid you use can impact vapor production. As a general rule higher VG precentage equals more vapor. It is more complex than that, but again ask the question and people in the forum will be glad to help.
You probably got somewhat ruff juice and you don't vape enough. I use to do that my first juice was altsmoke 18mg and it was soo harsh I could drag just so tiny i won't see anything coming out with times i got better and I could inhale more. But yeah probably you feel you took a big drag but not really also keep in mind with ecog you have to drag slower so the juice can really heat up well and produce vapor. So try and drag slower see what happens.
Theogre1969, do you only have one type/bottle of ejuice? And do you only have one/one type of heating element (CE4 clearo)? Trying some variety on both of those two will get you plenty of vapor, I'm sure. I like the big clouds, and I use %100 VG. But you'll find 'em with much less VG than that. Huge congrats on the big switch
