vape clogged?

[drunkfever]

i bought a buck naked express + a couple days ago and it was working fine at first, a couple times it wouldnt pull but i just had to press the button down for a few seconds and it would work again, but today it feels like its clogged? whenever i try to smoke it im getting little to no vapor. ive turned it on and off a million times, let it charge all the way, refilled the juice, screwed and unscrewed the mouthpiece (the lady i bought it from told me to make sure i didnt screw it on too tightly) i cannot figure out whats wrong with it

Welcome.

I am afraid to say you bought a dreadful product for a possibly bad price (It's a <$9 e-cig). We also know those silica atomizers are not exactly leading the way in limiting exposure.
The trash is the only place for a plastic disposable tank (clearo) unless you can send it/take it back with a rude letter saying it's rubbish?
A 650mAh eGo with a CE4 is vaping in 2012 style. Another vaping company determined to take your money selling dinosaur products.
My first CE4 clearo lasted about 2-3 hours - I vaped it too hard and burnt the coil.

I'm sorry to break the bad news. If you were in the UK, I could send you something to apologize for the vaping industry.

Welcome and glad you joined. Your problem is hard to recommend a fix for. Causes can be many. Might want to replace with a new coil/wick and see if problem disappears.
Could also try three additional avenues of inquiry:
Other local Vape Shop -----Might be simple.
Vendor who sold it ---see if they will repair or replace or advise.
Manufacturer contact ---see if they will repair or replace or advise.

well... ....

would it be worth it to try and fix this one (..CAN it be fixed?) or should i just buy a whole new pen? thanks for the offer man but i unfortunately live in the us

Moved you to New Members from Simple Solutioins.


Take a bit if tissue and make sure your contacts are dry, that there is no liquid on them.
Sometimes screwing them down too tightly can cut off the air flow...it can also push down the contact in the battery making a weak connection. A gentle lifting of the center pin with a small tool of some sort can fix this.
These aren't designed for heavy draws, the are for a longer slower draw...and keep those wicks really wet !


Edit...that's a lot of money spent for what you have.

I suspect you might just need a new clearo. BUT, I don't know the current 'shopping' situation in the US.
Potentially, you could attach an Aspire K1 clearomizer to an eGo Pen (650) battery and it could vape just dandy, although not that much vapor.
In Europe (72 million people), all the various stages of e-cig hardware are now down and out for the count. Everything is regulated (and new), so all the products which improved little by little are not on sale.
However (for you), if we consider there was the development line then you could look for something like;

EVOD clearomizer. (2013 ish)
Mini Protank (2014?)
iClear 16 (2013, an upgraded CE4 with replacable coils/atomizers).
Kanger T3.

I would avoid the Evod glass or 'dual' coil. The T3D dual coil and the mini Protank 3 (onwards) as all these dual coils struggle, single is better.

My choice would be the Aspire K1 (1.6ohm) to go on a small pen battery. Maybe Eleaf made a slim tank, I'm not sure. By the time Eleaf were big in the UK, we were all using variable power mods, which can more or less use any tank.

Maybe someone else can help too?

So I googled your device and came up with this:
Buck Naked eCigarettes - Express Refill Tank - Assorted Colors

This is a CE4 tank which should be super cheap
5PC Great Price 1.6ml CE4 Clearomizer 510 Tank e-Atomizer Charger Pen DZY5 | eBay

 

[lil_buddy]

I should also add that this sort of tank is disposable - they generally last a few days.

 

[lil_buddy]

These will fit on your 14mm ego battery (correct?) and are not disposable - but they have disposable coil that must be replaced
Kanger Genitank Mini Clearomizer
Kanger™ Aerotank MINI Glassomizer - Authentic Kangertech
Innokin iClear 16 Dual Coil Clearomizer

Thank you for making this comment.
$8.99 for one versus $3.95 for five.
CE4s are even cheaper than the last time I looked.

Whoever Buck Naked is, they are shamefully taking advantage their customers who make the presumption that everything is about the same price.

We all remember (or should) the $29 Kanger e-cigarette on sale for $119.

That's what goes on in the e-cig industry.

Nice find. The Aerotank is less good for the money.

The genitank is the budget version of the aerotank - the GT is chromed brass while the AT is stainless steel. I have many of both as I like them a lot.

Also, you can get more of those eGo batteries super cheap - with higher capacity -if you search around (eBay for sure)

 

[gandymarsh]

Virgin Vapor has a sale on several types of Ego batteries. This was the first kit I bought 3 years ago for $44. KGO Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit

 

[Beamslider]

Kanger T3s fits EGO batteries and have 2.4 ML capacity for juice. Replaceable coil and pretty cheap.

If you want to mess around with them you can also rebuild the coils a few times.
