Vaping sucks today....grrrr

[Patrick O'Brien]

People say I buy too many supplies, but I will be damned if I find myself in a situation where I cannot vape when I want to. I have 3 ego T's, 1 Tornado pass through, a blu cig starter kit, and 3 chargers. Two nova tanks, 1 kanger (which I hate and never use) and 5-6 atty's I rotate and wash. I even got me a car adapter for my passthrough (okay so my car came with a USB plug, but you get my drift). Better to be prepared than to have to get cranky.

Similer situation here - batteries starting to die sooner than later, can't find the right juice, replaced two EVOD heads today and starting to get panicky that I don't have enough spare heads. At least we're not going back to analogs, right??

 

[metrabolic]

Oh no, analogs make me sick. Just the smell is revolting. I was just having a horrible vape day. Made me reevaluate my supply, and equipment. ordered some back up batteries from fast tech, maybe not the greatest but at least I will have more then just an e-cig to get me by. Hope I dint have another day like this for a long time (never would be nicer)

Just like anything thing else, you will have not so great days. It doesn't help that we rely on these for a nicotine fix. Just stay positive, move forward, make a project out of fixing it.

Backups of backups help. Having something that works while you mess with the stuff that isn't functioning as intended. I had a whole day of sticking it out with a wick in a vivi nova I burnt because I got too trigger happy on it.

The important thing is to not smoke a single cigarette ever again. Ever. A bad day of vaping is always better than the best day smoking. Just keep that positive thought flow going. Focus on what you will do to make sure it doesn't happen again, try and learn a little from it.

I think preparing for the Zombie apocalypse is the way to go.. now granted I will need to find a power supply (thinking of a Honda generator and bunkering down in a gas station) but none-the-less I do have several devices with different attachments that allow me do just pick up a new flavor and system. I must be lucky as I really do not run into those days, well, hmmm, perhaps I do.. I recall now replacing my wicks and coils several times in one day cause the vape was just not quite right. So yeah I agree with everyone that say "backups for the backups". And be prepared. I like to think my worst day vaping is better than my best day smoking, that keeps me going. Hang in there and when the Zombies rise we must all band together (swear I have enough wire and wick for a small army) and have a massive vape out. PS - someone bring chips please.

We will have to work on our zombie vape stash, pretty much have everything else worked out. Small generator wouldn't be a bad idea.

I've been having a lot of bad vape days lately. But, I think I'm starting to come out the other side.

For vaper's tongue, either unflavored or menthol. Unflavored to clear out all the funky taste and start fresh. At the least, it never has a BAD taste. Menthol or a good peppermint is always refreshing and safe for me.

For finicky juice delivery systems, dripping. As a matter of fact, I've dripped far more than I've used anything else. Very simple. Nothing to go wrong.

 

[jfalbanese]

didn't like dripping in the beginning., but for TH and taste haven't found anything better. atty's are pricey, (the down side). those silly little tubes really work.

I'm having so many problems today, pv seems to not be producing enough vapor, taste of vapor is really off today, and my clearomizer leaked when I was driving. Do others out there have these days or is it just me?

Not sure how long you have been vaping, if you smoked before and if you have stopped but you can go through two periods of time after you are not smoking cigarettes at all where your vapor will taste off or dull. And not sure what you mean by 'off' so you might not mean the same things. This has to do with the 'regeneration' of your taste buds and they have to go through two cycles while doing this during which time things will taste flat. This usually lasts 1-5 days if it happens to you. 2 things that can help kick start the baby buds is to change to an e-juice that is 'spicy' - maybe cinnamon or spicy apple.

If you have not smoked in over 2 months then this is probably not why the vapor tastes 'off', and probably is worn or dirty atomizer. Sometimes sudden issues with leaking can be due to threads on the battery/atomizer that need cleaning too - if they have gotten juice or carbon on them they will not seal as well and you get leaks.

The only leaking issues I ever had were some of the 'disposable' clearomizers (ones you cannot rebuild) - with use the seal between the bottom part of the plastic and the metal collar that has the threads that screw into the battery will start to fail and leak. This is why rebuildable ones are so nice as you can clean them better and make sure all parts seat well into each other and prevents leaks. Also most rebuildable ones have extra o-rings top and bottom that make for better seals.

I've had my share of bad vaping days recently...poor wicking problems using my usual go-to mesh, leaking tanks, more hot spots than usual, etc. Oh well, it's all the norm for vaping and the stuff we buy. When I get frustrated I just leave it all sitting there, go back to a regular carto or one of my tried-and-true drippers for a while, and then begin again. Thankfully a little patience and time work.

You can get standard 510 atomizers for $6.00 and they should last a month or so, if not a lot longer.
