Hey, I'd whistle at you, too!

You can never have too many backups...

The Tabac that I bought was terrible! It muted the flavor and it was noisy when taking a draw. If you want to try a decent bottom feeder I'd suggest a Vision Nano. They're small but I've been very pleased with their performance so far.

Cinnamon flavors tend to crack plastic, which is why you were told not to use it in your EVOD. The citric acid in some of the citric fruit flavors might also be problematic (eg. lemonade, orange, etc.) but not always. If I were you I'd get some bakery flavors to try in your EVOD. Those should work just fine. Vanilla cupcake, waffle, blueberry/strawberry or whatever flavor cheesecake... There are so many different flavors available. From my personal experience (and your mileage may vary), I'd suggest getting a Kangor T2 or T3 or MT3 or a Vision Nano to go with an eGo style battery. Read through the threads here on this forum and you'll learn a lot! Also, don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. There's always someone who will answer

If you tilt so that the liquid goes waaaaay past the wicks then the liquid tends to go down the center post creating the gurgle. At least that's been my experience with tilting.

I wonder if you mixed it with some lemon and butter flavored e-juice from EC Blend...? Gotta give the girl credit for trying it. That was almost identical to my reaction to the roast beef. The taste stayed with me for nearly two days afterwards.

That's got to be every bit as bad as the roast beef with Worchestershire sauce... eeewwww.

Thanks for the heads up, Jeff! I've been searching for a light lavender color to match my eGo 650 for some time now. Couldn't find what they're calling it so I've contacted the owners of the site. Hopefully they'll get back to me soon so I can catch this price. ETA: Wow. As soon as I posted this I got a reply from Stormy. Now that's some great customer service! Unfortunately they don't have the color I wanted but I'll be buying from them when they get it back in stock.

For the past two weeks or so it's been EC Blend's "Feel Like a Nut" flavor with double extra sweet. This tastes just like Almond Joy, with the extra sweetener added it really tastes the same!

If you'll notice the dates this is a fairly old thread. So many new products have come out since then. As far as many of the members of this forum have attested eGo batteries, on the whole, are good, dependable ones. It's the tanks/clearomizers on top that can get finicky. The T3 and MT3s have been getting a lot of positive reviews. These are "bottom feeders" where the liquid goes through the bottom instead of a wick on top. The Vision Nano is also a bottom feeder that holds only 1 ml of juice. I've had the best of luck with all three. Patience and trial and error is what's needed when you're new to this. Perseverance is also good. Ask around and you'll find that you'll get lots of good advice from the experienced vapers around here. Edited to add: Vapor and throat hit are juice related, not anything to do with the battery or cartomizer/clearomizer that you're using. More VG (vegetable glycerin) = more vapor. More PG (propylene glycol) = more throat hit. If you're new to the VG/PG ration I'd suggest go with 50/50. That gives me a lot of vapor and enough throat hit to satisfy.

Do you know what percentage of PG/VG you're vaping? I'm wary about prefilled carts because I don't know what's really inside them. The dry mouth is easily explainable as vaping will dehydrate you. Drinking LOTS of water/liquids helps with that. If you're vaping less than you were smoking that might have something to do with it too. This is just me but if you want to stay away from analogs I'd go with a better battery (eg. eGo style), and a couple of clearomizers. Those are the easiest to deal with for someone new to vaping. You take off the top mouthpiece, tip to the side just a little, fill with juice, wait a few minutes and then vape. I'd suggest something like either a T2, Vision Stardust or a Vision Nano as those might be the easiest to start out with. After you get used to those then we can talk T3, MT3 or Vivi Nova, Vivi Nova mini...

I wonder if you could use regular atomizers and direct drip it? Also, does it have 510 threading...?

No clue if you'd wind up with leaking or if it would work at all. I try to keep the same brand names together so that's not a problem. Since Tobac is a knock-off of the Kangor product there could be some minute differences to the fit.

Tobacs brand is...okay but not as good as Kangor. Originally I bought a box of five Tobacs and wound up giving the rest away because their performance was not up to the Kangor quality that I was used to. YMMV. I'd stay with the Kangor brand although you also might want to read this story first. http://tasteyourjuice.com/wordpress/2013/01/09/will-the-real-kanger-t3-please-stand-up/

2 each of lilac and blue: Swirl Ice CE4 mouth piece from GotVapes These are essentially just color versions of replacement mouth pieces for the CE4 (Vision Stardust). They're much prettier now and I might need to get a few more of their colors. It's so much more fun than just the normal black ones.

Good luck! Let us know if this helped with the gurgling or not?

From my experience I have yet to find one place that sells everything I need/want. I usually get my juice from one place, hardware from another.

Hmmm. Doesn't sound like it would be. It could be the cart itself, something in the filler material, the PG/VG mixture, or all or none of the above. Trial and error seems to be the best thing to see what's causing your headaches. It could also possibly be symptoms of getting off all the carcinogens from traditional analogs. From all the things I've read we've all suffered a few weird symptoms when we got away from cigarettes -- at least the first few weeks in anyway.

Remove Vivi Nova from the battery. While holding a tissue or paper towel very loosely at the battery connection end of the VN, blow gently into the mouth piece to remove excess liquid inside the center post. Blot the battery connection end to remove liquid as well as the battery. Replace VN onto battery and vape. You're probably tipping the VN too much when you're trying to wet the wicks and it's making the liquid go into the center post. Try not filling it to the top of the line and watch the liquid when tipping/wetting the wick so only the wick is getting wet. Don't turn the battery completely upside down. Hope that helps and your problem is solved.

Although I'm not a health professional I'd wager a guess that your light headedness could be from too much nicotine. You might want to either vape less or get a lower mg e-liquid. 100% VG is not a good mix with cartomizers prefilled or otherwise because VG generally is too thick to wick properly. Before going 100% VG I'd try the lower nic level first. Some good places to go for this would be EC Blends, Sweet-Vapes.com or The Vapor Room. They all make their own juices. The first two sites I've recommended allow you to make quite a few customizations to your juice. As for a good kit, head over to The Veteran Vaper's site. Brian has several great kits for beginners, competitive prices and great customer service. http://www.theveteranvaper.com/joye-ego-kit-matte-black/ I would also pick up a couple of clearomizers like the Vision Stardust (CE4) http://www.theveteranvaper.com/vision-ego-clearomizer-ce4-long-wick/ or the Vision Vivi Nova Mini http://www.theveteranvaper.com/vision-vivi-nova-mini-tank-2-0ml-long-wick/ I've found these to be better than a cartomizer with less fuss because you don't have to keep filling as often. Hope some of this helps.

Congrats on one month, that's a great accomplishment!

For the Vision Nanos I got mine (the 2nd order) from Altsmoke. They have a "buy 5 for $2.49" and their shipping is decent. http://altsmoke.com/review/product/list/id/1641/category/12/ The Veteran Vaper, GotVapes.com, VapeLite, Discount Vapers are all places where I got good prices, good product and great customer service. The majority of my juices I now get from EC Blends. They have the juices that I like most consistently, of course YMMV. I have tried too many different vendors but the others have been hit and miss for me. Hope that helps. Congrats on getting your buddy off the analogs! ETA: Forgot to add Empire Mods, but you know that already since it was you who recommended that site to me.

Sorry to hear that, but I'll bet you won't be caught off guard anymore...

Back ups. And back ups of back ups. You can never have too many!

12 more Boge 2.0 ohm atomizers from Vapelite. Um...in case anyone else wanted some...they're now out of these for a bit...
