What is WRONG here?

[Karma]

Yes, it's me again, complaining about atomizer/clearomizer/tankomizer problems.
They all burn out on me! No matter what brand, for what brand of e-cig it's for? I have about a week tops with ANY atomizer and that's a rarity.

I just killed my little ego tankomizer I got less than 4 days ago. I took it apart and cleaned it and it just gives me barely a puff of vapor. I can't afford to keep buying this stuff!

This even happened constantly back when i was using dse901's. For either, cleaning doesn't make a difference. They die, quickly and are costing me more than smoking did!

Am I alone in having this much crap luck with vaping?

what are you using exactly?

Right now I was using an ego-t battery + a tankomizer (the wide round ones that you have to pull up to juice up.) I have that one drying out after I attempted to clean it but probably just destroyed it. I have the same luck with different batteries, and ce4s and ce5's. (clearomizers) I had also burnt out one of the ones that came standard with it within a week of buying it.

Before when I have tried other brands and used the dse901 the same thing happened. I don't think I puff much or more than most people and it doesn't seem to happen to my boyfriend's.

I have some Boge carts on order and I hope that's a little better, but since EVERY kind dies on me like wildfire I am afraid that will be a waste too.

i dont really like the ego t. i started with a simple 5 click ego 900 mah with some boge carts and it worked great. now i use boge carts in cartomizer tanks and thats pretty much all i vape besides the occasional dripping when i get new flavors. im sure you'll have a better experience with the boges. be sure not to get liquid in the air hole. i use the condom method after watching a guide on youtube and it works perfectly everytime. also im not fond of ce4s. ive had enough burnt heads to steer me away from those. dont give up! you'll find what suits you, i promise.

That's actually kind of what I'm using. The 900mah ego battery and i have a couple of 650s i switch to. I got the boges because I read that they are excellent and they are SO much cheaper. I have to learn to drip into them though. I am a constant flavor switcher. I was of the opinion that the CE's are "the thing" because both of our local stores sell them. But then again they didn't tell me that using certain juices would make them crack and fall to pieces either...

yeah cinnamon and citrus flavors can crack polycarbonate, acrylic, and plastic tubes. if you plan on dripping, cartomizers arent the way to go. you want an atomizer for that. you fill cartomizers with only one liquid. you drip a few drops into an atomizer to try a flavor out. digitalciggz has a deal on 5 atomizers for 10$ right now and theres a coupon for about 10% off

Hrm... did I miss something? I can fill the carts with 1 flavor and they are fine right? I don't dabble that much.

 

[Atlexus]

i think i misunderstood you. cartomizers will be great for you to fill up and change flavors but you have to remember to keep them wet so they dont dry up on you. i was just saying you can drip 5-6 drops of juice into an atomizer finish it and drip some other flavor into it.

 

[Karma]

Ahh then I have the right idea!!! I never let mine run out. At worst I mix flavors.

I checked out the video about the condom method and it looks SO much neater and less hassle than having to re-drip every little while. Thank you or getting me to check that out.

 

[Ratman]

Note that the condom filling method is only for the first initial fill of a blank (empty) carto. Once it is full, you will still need to drip liquid into the top of it to refill or top it off.

The condom method works pretty well and will get enough liquid into the carto to prevent it from burning up on start up but to really get it saturated and full, a small gauge blunt needle with syringe can not be beat. A condom filled Boge carto will still hold another half ml of juice after 'filling' with the condom method.

Thank you so much! I bought a small bottle/syringe today that might work. Wish me luck! The Boge carts should come in tomorrow.

Boge carts have come in. They are tiny compared to most of the hardware for egos! I tried the first one with a juice I don't care for as much as my others and the condom filling and I actually kind of like the juice now.
