Batery is fully charged with new cart. The first few puffs were ok, lots of vapor, but no taste or throat hit. Then it gets hot as heck and tastes like something's burning and burns my throat. The cart looks fine when I take it apart.

Is this just new atty syndrome? Will it settle down?

Do I have to just keep smoking it until I can stand it?

Thank you.

Title should say normal

You need to keep an atty moist. Dry attys taste horrible and burn out faster. Just do NOT drip on a VX2 atty when it's connected to the battery, it will kill it. Also let the atty drain some before connecting to a battery.

1-2 drops on the heating coil and a few hours to dry out.


as has been said here many times, the VX2 should NOT be dripped on.

Have had my VX2 for about 2 weeks now.......in most ways my favorite. TONS of vapor but dont get much throat hit - could it be the juice?

There are a few things which contribute to a good throat hit. But yes, one of them is juice, no matter what e-cig you are using. What's the nic content of the juice you are currently using?

Sorry didnt mean to hijack your thread - I'll figure my issues out in another thread.

Well too new to offer any advice but I can say my other vaporizers heat up pretty hot with 2-3 back to back hits......the VX2 on the other hand only gets mildly warm.

strange how throat hit an devces and liquid vary s much from user to user. some say the vx doesnt give a good throat hit but for everyone that says that i get 3 emails from customers that love it. once the vx2-m is released in about a week an a half that might fix the variance betweens users. throat hit is kinda like flavor it is different for each person.

Besides having a VX2-m kit, you'll have the manual batteries in all colors too, right? I definitely need one or more (probably 2) manual red batteries and am trying to resist the urge to spring for a blue kit as well.

Will you be getting the passthroughs in the same order so they can be ordered at the same time (in the same order) as the new manual batteries? Given how much I am at a computer, not to have a passthrough just makes no sense. Thanks for info.
