Valuable Lesson Learned

[DennisSt]

I recently purchased a Kanger Protank 3, and I had a lot of problems with it. Flooding, juice getting into my mouth etc: All the New user syndromes. Little did I know it was the way *I* was using it that was causing the problems. I went to my local shop (Vaporwize in Memphis), and Andy took the time to explain to my how to Vape correctly. I was sucking on it like a straw, not gently. After I changed the way I hit it, the entire experience changed for the better. Well...little did I know there was an actual learning curve in vaping correctly, and thank you Andy for taking the time to teach me!!!

HOORAY!!!! Yes, I too suffered from trying to suck the battery into my lungs at first. Gurgles, spatters, ICK. Now-a-days, much smoother (and waaaaay more satisfying experience.)

Welcome to the forums and a big to your B&M guy for pointing you down a better path

I am also originally from Memphis. I had the same problems with a Squape I purchased a few months ago. I was so convinced that it was a P.O.S that I thought about sending it back to the company I had purchased it from, but my local vape shop showed me the error of my ways. Now I just sit back, relax and enjoy the vape on the Squape. Welcome to ECF.

You make a fine point Dennis. It's only natural that we try to vape like we smoked. I started with Blu e-cigs and the only way to get any kind of throat hit with those things was to draw very slowly. A habit that proved useful when I advanced.

Other than the occasional user error, I've really never had a problem with any kind of tank I owned. (I do have disdain for the top feeders though).

Me, too, Kodiak! I also started with the Blu. Guess they are kind of like "training wheels" for vaping. Who knew?

Something else to note is the way that you absorb nicotine with e-cigs, if you try to hit it like a normal cig then you aren't going to get much nic absorbed, the particles don't penetrate the lungs like analogs because they are bigger. Most nic will be absorbed in the mouth and nasal lining using e-cigs.

haha I remember those days. I did the same thing. I also use to fry my liquids and wonder why they tasted burned... always figured it was a bad atomizer/cartomizer before I realized the whole ohm vs voltage vs eliquid burn point lol

Good tips! Thank you for the info!

Thanks Guys, My only problem now is that I cough when I hit the E-cig! Any ideas?
