Good morning Bobbi.
You sound like me! Gotta go with the flow when the motivation strikes, even if it's already 9 p.m..
Yea on sleeping so well!!

Looks like a busy day for ya.

Yeah, but sometimes when motivation hits it should just tap not a full fledged knock out punch!

I had no clue how busy this day was going to turn how fast! Lots of rush funeral clothes, I'm gonna guess the pallbearers are wearing lavender shirts... Made a day I expected to be busy a bit busier real fast!

Good morning Bobbi
It was already 62 when I first checked this morning with an expected high of 84 today

That's great that you slept so well in the new room on that bed, who cares why? Then again, maybe you wore yourself out switching things around

That is a distinct possibility Dale. I am hoping that it will be the same tonight though!

Ok so this is what I have

I pulled a brand new one apart this morning and it looks like a single coil. If it were dual you would see two instead of one, right? There were no markings of any kind as to the resistance and as I mentioned earlier they were all bubble wrapped (leaving the potential for error)

I'm not home at the moment to test the ohms but I definitely will try tomorrow.

When I first started using them, by the time I screwed the drip tip on/ put the juice away you could start vaping. Then in the last year I noticed I could no longer do that. Have to wait 5-10 min for the wicks to soak up the juice. If you vaped before it was ready, it was nasty. (I assumed that's a dry hit?) Now the last 30 ml or so of juice I've vaped I'm experiencing the having to fill after 1/2 the tank is gone or it tastes awful. When the tank is full there is no residual bad taste.

I have two ego style batteries that I rotate between (been using them for awhile) This weekend I will pull out a new one and charge it to see if that makes a difference. Maybe these batteries need to be retired. but I don't have a problem with them holding a charge or charging in a couple hour timespan. Also I have a 510 adapter (I think that's what it is) to use on the provari mini. I can try the tank on that also and see if it makes a difference.

Sorry this is so long. I will try out the different things you all have suggested and hope that something works. Thank you.

I wonder if the new wicks are larger and blocking the flow... not sure that makes sense, but at the moment that is what my tired mind comes up with. The battery being older should lower the watts so that doesn't seem like it should be the reason, but once again I am not the expert on them.

Thanks Balwin, for making it through that wall o' text. I appreciate your troubleshooting. These are rebuildable vision ego clearomizers. So maybe I can play with the wicking too.

Probably a dumb question but have you suddenly forgotten to tilt and twist when your liquid is low?
Those things don't wick the greatest

Any particular reason you haven't ventured into a better tank?

Wow, sorry you are over run all of a sudden but glad your business is doing well




Dessert!

Hi Rachel, I can't remember who checked in today and who hasn't

Hope you got some good rest yesterday, time for you to start feeling better

Hi dale [emoji4] I had not checked in this morning. Was at work and on the sidelines trying to work on some urgent rescue stuff so ECF went to the back burner. Lol The cough is better, just still feel crappy. But I think it's looking up.

It almost sounds like something is going on with the wicking. Maybe just this batch? Did you buy all of the replacement coils at the same time?

Well sure hope so but you know some things just won't go away until you give in and REST!

 

[balwin]

Gonna go close up, see you all later!

Yeah it's like an unwanted guest that won't leave [emoji28] TBH it's likely due to my messed up immune system not being able to fight it off like it should. Just part of the joys of RA.

Yum!!! Thanks for the dessert. I'll pretend the fruit makes it a healthy dessert.

Honestly, I had such good luck with these I kept buying them. Had all this stuff with the FDA not happened I wouldn't have anything else in my stash.

ETA I do tilt and twist

Good evening Lurkers.
Sara, I never used those, I was just trying to think about the basic principles of how atomizers work in general.
Sounds like you're getting good advice though.

MB, glad you're a *little* better. We'll take what we can get.
Hope you find a home/foster for your rescue!!

Safe travels Bobbi! Bet you sleep good tonight too!
I was busy pretty much all day too, the day flew by!

Dale, LOVELY dessert selections tonight!!

Unfortunately I did buy them all together. But some of them worked with no problems. It's only been the last 30ml or so that I noticed the problem. At first I thought they changed their juice and but I vaped a different vender juice and same prob so then I figured it was the clearo.

 

[Sara Love]

Headed home from my parents. You guys will prolly all be gone when I get home.

I know today I was a one trick pony and I want to thank you all so much for helping me to troubleshoot.

Thank you thank you thank you. Sweet dreams all. I will stop in after getting the kiddo home and in bed.

Thanks lori. I am the state coordinator manager for the rescue that I volunteer with and help coordinate getting dogs from shelters into foster homes. We are national so there is always something going on. This was a particular case in GA.

Sounds pretty much like a bad batch Sara

I saw where you said that about RA to Lori earlier Rachel ... not happy to learn about that since RA runs in my family and I'm already showing signs

Welcome home Lori! Glad your day went by swiftly
As always you're welcome to the calorie free dessert images

Watch for little kids Bobbi!!!

Hope you don't get it dale. I have been battling and managing it since my mid thirties. The prednisone and other meds keep me going. I look at it this way, it could be worse [emoji6] Have had to give up many activities that I used to really love...but on the flip side, I have replaced those activities with others that I also enjoy [emoji4]
