Struggling with My e-cigs

:confused:
Only been trying this for a bit more than 2 wks on and off: I have 3 e-cigs on the go; titan500, intellicig and the super mini. I can't seem to stick with one of them for various reasons ie-One is too big to hold, another one tastes horrible etc so I'm switching all the time between them just to see which one comes out as my clear favourite after giving them all a proper trial test period.

Is it normal to have little droplets of the liquid gather at the end of your filters and worse- straight into your mouth after you drag on a new filter or drip? Someone said I could be sucking too hard (!) on the filters but it's horrid when it happens and it's putting me off vaping.

Has anyone else had sleep problems since they've started using e-cigs and will my sleep get better or return to normal the more I use the cigs?

Finally, even though I've watched zillions of ecig info on youtube, I am useless as driping and trying to work out when I need to drip or when I need to change the capsule etc. Completely paranoid about taking in too much nicotine (especially when I seem to be bloody drinking the stuff from the drips on the filter lol ). Are there other ecig users that have had to break themselves into vaping and figuring out what liguid/dose/cig suits them because it sometimes seems like everyone else on here took to vaping like a duck to water whereas I'm still struggling to get into it.

Thanks

Don't feel that you are alone - most people find that there is a learning curve where ecigs are concerned. I get the fluid in the mouth if I over fill the cartridge (or if the prefilled cartridge was overfilled which also happens) I take the cartridge off, take off the atty and blow through it (battery end), tap it on a paper towel a few times (cart end) and then put it all together again. Works like a charm! Just keep reading, it is worth getting the hang of it! :D

on the titan carts (500?) im asuming you mean 510 ive never heard of 500 but i could be wrong, anyway you can blow through the mouthepeice to blow out extra liquid when u get it in ur mouth,(it wont spill the juice in your cart because it is 2 {actualy 3} seperate ports)
When i started I swallowed alot of juice, got it everywhere, burned alot of polyfill, and sucked at dripping, I think when u start u want to get as much out of your carts as you can, think less is more for the time being, as you will waste less, and run into less problems,
be patient with dripping, it takes a minute to get it just right, IF YOU HAVE MANUAL BATTERIES, they way i learned to drip, was count up to flooded (when the atty gurgles) 2 drops, vape (until empty), no; 3 drops, vape, no; 4 drops, gurgle gurlge gurgle, k now I know what too much is! (usually 3 drops is perfect for me).
Also look into cart mods, I DONT RECOMMEND POLYFILL FOR ANYTHING, I use shredded PTB and it is awesome, It does leak however if you ecig is inverted and the cart is full, and you find your own ways around that, I have a cloth case for my ecig that catches the juice if it runs out, and I keep, my ecig in my pocket cart down when mor than half full, but try look at some PTB mods, they made vaping much more pleasent for me

I think everyone struggles at first, sleep pattern changes, wierd dreams, Head aches, are all commin side effects, but a result of trying too hard IMO, it shouldn't take very long to get used to it, but take it easy. I vape 18mg, and sometimes 24 but not for nearly as long as I would 18, I would suggest, maybe waiting to vape until you get a craving, then stop as soon as the craving is satisfied, and wait for the next one to vape again, (youll find you can go HOURS ON HOURS without vaping, and have very minimal cravings, ITS AWESOME

It is true that there is a learning cycle to this new technology. But if you stay patient and hang there you'll get it.

I've not had any problem with sleep before or after e-cigs. Might try switching to vg from pg, or vice versa. VG seems to work better for some and PG for others.

The 'sweat' of juice on the cart is normal. A burnt taste will happen as your cart gets too dry near the heating element of the atty. Even though there is juice in the upper end. Whenever I get the first hint of burnt or metal taste I put drops into the cart until there is a floating drop on top, then wipe off the sides of the cart and just touch the top with a paper towel or napkin. Then I tailpipe (draw without the cart in place) about 5 or ten draws. The seems to get the excess juice out of the atty and allows for easier draws and more vapor once the cart is re-inserted.

Good Luck, read - experiement, and above all enjoy!
