This pi**es me off about E Cigs

[jons]

So there are only a few things about vapeing that gets under my skin.... Heres one of them

So I sit down at the pc or tv and just want to zone out and relax.... yes, this includes vaping. I get all settled and comfortable. I take a hit and get juice right in my mouth... I'm like "WTF" Here we go again another project and more maintenance and upkeep of this damn thing. This really makes me mad when I get into bed to watch tv and go to sleep.... I still would'nt trade it for smoking but at times it can be a real pain!

I just had to post this.... fell better already,lol

Seems you are flooding the atty. give more details about your e-cig etc. Carto or carty?
it does get better - but vaping is different than smoking and it take time to figure it out. Don't give up.

What gets me about vaping, is the constant search for a good atomizer! I swear only 1 in 5 of the 20 attys I've owned are worth a damn. All the rest leak, are too "tight" and won't produce much draw/vapor, are dead on arrival or otherwise just perform poorly or have too high resistance to work well (Joye brand 2.5 ohm atty with a 2.9-3.6 ohms resistance).

That would make me mad too. I have had really good luuck with them. I have yet to burn one out. I hear the joye are the best.... but who knows.

No I wont give up its just cigs are easy and simple... fool proof ya know. Yes you are right I am over filling... it just happens a bit to easliy sometimes and drives me crazy!

What I hate is having to break new attys in through the primer stage. It's like trying to get a pan perfectly seasoned, take a while but once done it's worth it but the first part, Yuck.

I use nothing but cartomizers and don't have these problems any more. I use Ikenvapes Mega cartomizers on my variable voltage Buzz from Notcigs. This combination is wonderful. I only have to fill it every day, once usually. I tried a cig to see and I don't get anything out of them anymore except stinky air. 'll never return to smoking.
The only thing that makes me mad is it costs money. They should give me free supplies.

I assume you didn't smoke cigarettes in bed. I very nearly died because of doing that a quarter century ago, and never smoked in bed again.
One of the fantastic things about vaping ... no fire hazard.
But yeah, cigarettes are comparatively more simple. That may always be true, who knows?
Hang in there, you'll get it right. And, it won't kill you in the meantime.

That is a great point. I have one caro and I love the fact that I never seem to flood the atty with it. No juice in mouth. The only issue I have with it is the hit my carto gives me just dosent stand up to the LR attie that I use. Because of that I use the Lr all the time. Do they make LR atties?

I prefer drip tips, less messing around with carts or cartos and once you have the hang of it you won't get juice in your mouth anymore.

I am glad to report that I have a RIVA Ego and a 510, along with about 12 attys, and numerous cartridges, all from the vapor room. I have had great success with the attys - most of them never even had that nasty "primer" taste when they were new. I did clean them all with iso before I used them, but they all worked, and still do. I have been trying many different flavors, so I have used all the attys at one time or another. I don't know where they get the attys, but they have all worked great for me. No leaks, no deaths.

The thing I am still getting used to about vaping is remembering to take all the stuff I need for the day. With analogs, it was just a matter of grabbing the pack and making sure I had a lighter or matches. If I forget something I need for vaping, I'm screwed because I can't just stop at the nearest convenience store and get what I need.

But, other than that, I am loving the vaping experience, and loving life without stinky analogs!

No never smoked in bed,lol.

Vaping, at this stage in it's development - both hardware & juices - is still much more of an art than a science, so we are forced to constantly make adjustments to our equipment & juices, but it still beats smoking.

It's always best to find that happy medium. Try not over filling the cartridge and when you do refill, slightly hold your electronic cigarette up as you take your first few puffs then as you notice a decrease in vapor, slightly hold down. This works out great and each hit you take becomes less "juicy", if you will. Also, I saw that another member mentioned cartomizers in an earlier post. Cartomizers can be very useful and last longer than the average cartridge. Usually, they will never become "juicy" as long as you don't initially over fill it as the e-liquid is contained within the cartomizer along with the heating element requiring less maintenance.

I remember being 10yrs old and asking everyone I knew if they "spit or swallow" lololol

I think cartos may just be the answer, but do they make LR cartos?

I'm not quite sure but I do know that they have recently come out with the new ceramic cartomizers, which work like a charm.

I'll try to look into that, thanks.
