Using eJuice

[timokawa]

Hi all,

I'm completely new to all this. Have searched the forums as best I can to find the answers I need but nowhere gives a definitive answer. Thought it best to ask the question outright:

I've just bought a Super 10, some atomizers and some high strength cartridges. I've had a few problems where it seemed to stop working quite quickly and think it was because the cartridges were finished. However, a combination of new atomizer/battery/cart seemed to solve it.

Anyway, if I buy the juice on its own, can I just top up the cartridges I've already used? During my searching, I read that someone "drip feeds". Does that mean putting the juice straight on the atomizer?

Also, the company I bought my kit from (theelectroniccigarette or TECC), suggests using compressed air to clean the atomizer. I did this and got loads of fluid on my hand (use kitchen roll now!). Any thoughts on the maintenance?

Apologies if these are really noddy questions and thanks for any help.

Hello & welcome Timokawa

Yes you can top up your used cartridges with juice (e-liquid) & you can also drip a few drops directly onto the atomiser.

I'm surprised you have ended up with so much fluid coming out of your atomiser from just using prefilled carts (though I've got to admit that I've never bothered blowing mine out with compressed air). When I used a Super-mini, I just left my atties to drain occasionally.

And no, it's not at all a "noddy question" lol, I still remember how confused I was when I bought my first e-cig 18 months ago

Thaks for that.

I really need to put more effort into using these. When I first started, I could alternate between "real" and ecig but since it played up I've been full time real.

Definitely need to start winding down on the rollies and using the ecig more.

Cheers.

I use a cordless air compressor (no harsh chemicals in its' atmosphere). I don't use it hardly at all nowadays.

I figure, if the atomizer is working--why mess with it?--so now I just let them go.

Letting them drain might be the answer.

Welcome aboard!

It can be a bit of learning curve to say the least, so don't beat yourself up about still smoking real cigs, just remember to count the cigs you don't smoke

Just a thought, but I'm wondering if your batteries aren't fully charged as I still feel that you shouldn't be getting that much excess juice from a prefilled cart ending up in your atomiser. However, it is such a long time since I've used a Super-mini, so hope someone else will chip in to help you

BTW, there is a sub forum dedicated to the Super-mini :-
