welcome back

The current limiter circut might cut it off before it gets hot enough to make any vapor.I got some Dekang RY3 for a friend at work who uses the convienience store ecigs and he refills using a syringe.I can't get him to go ahead and get better equipment though.Not sure if BLU is compatible with any refillables,maybe KR808 .The ones my buddy uses is an oddball size .

A lot of people use and like them.Besides higher cost and shorter battery life its pretty much what we all are using.I got a free Rivo disposable.It was ok but I wouldn't buy them routinely.
-
Those are usually prettty low ohms.I noticed the same thing.To make that much vapor takes a lot of liquid.I bought the higher resistance one for my second one and it was more economical.Kind of odd the way they have the ohms listed not real sure exactly what you are getting.I used my low resistance one for six weeks ,felt the need to start cleaning after three or four because of all the funk I could see in there when I topped it off.It still works but I wanted to use the higher resistance one .I started cleaning it out about the same.The Stardust and Vision V1 ,V2 and V3 are basicly the same thing.

Try wiping the end off with a damp cloth ,there might be eliquid on them.Haven't heard that complaint before.One carto in three days is very good mileage I suspect most people would use two or three carto's a day .So I doubt you are getting too much nicotine.Not sure what else to suggest.I would normally suggest a different eliquid vendor ,but since you are using prefilled and probably one of the odd brands you pretty much have to use what they sell you.If you really want to use ecigs you might consider getting a KR808 kit or something from Joye or DSE those would all be refillable and you can try different liquids and flavors .Some vendors formulas are not suitable for some people.There is the VG vs PG vs mix thing as well as what other ingrediants they use.Be carefull to keep it tilted down so any condensation or excess liquid doesn't run out into your mouth.

You hast get the "want to" to get all the way off the analogs.Once I accepted I would never find a liquid and device that were just like smoking it got a whole lot easier.I tried quite a few different manufacturers of liquid and went back and revisited some as my tastebuds were restored.I have found some very tasty liquids that I look forward to and have gotten to where the nic is not an issue I can vape no nic and enjoy it just as good as low nic.One thing that helped me was to clean the house and van and get rid of all the smoke that coated everything .I washed all the curtains and coats ,repainted .And now I am at the point I can smell a smoker from across the room and cannot beleive I smelled like that all the time.Now I am noticing that the vapor is coating stuff and causing a different smell.Not as bad but I may have to deal with that.I have been vaping over three years now and pretty much vape like I smoked.I keep the cost down as low as possible and just keep it around for those moments I need to take a break .

Most of those are built for one time use in plumbing and carto's are harder metal than copper or PVC pipe.So they will wear out pretty quick on stainless steel.I am not too sure that carto tanks are the way to go .You have o rings and carto punching and they are tricky to fill.I think I would explore alternatives like Vision products.But that is just me,I would rather vape than mess with hardware.

I think the back clamp peice is reversible for 1/2 pipe try flipping it around so the space is smaller or some have inserts to reduce the size.Has to snug the screws down to hold it in place.I have used a lot of those for humidifiers and ice makers but Vision clearomisers has made it where I don't have to use them for vaping.Also make sure the needle is screwed clockwise all the way while clamping it on .
-
Welcome.You should fit right in here since you like to try new stuff out.
-
I always keep a few Joye 306 atties for tasting liquids with.I have found that for about the same monies the Vision clearomiser provides a pretty similar vape for the first week or two without having to drip.They last quite a while longer but when fresh the clearomiser is the best of both worlds.I haven't had a desire to try the high end stuff out either as I am frugal.
-
I would just try Vision V3 clearomisers on the gear you have.You can try different resistances and they work very well.The more complex things get the more likely you are to have problems.

Having Trouble With My New Setup - Very Harsh =(

Eliquid is subject to personal taste.You will just have to try a little from several vendors until you find what you like.I personally like Dekang tobacco flavors. -

In the second sentence I meant atomising the liquid. -

I don't think I would put the liquid back into the container with fresh liquid either.If we were actually vaporising the liquid it would be the same stuff.We are actually heating it up until some of it boils off into a vapor ,hopefully the tasty part.The stuff that gets left behind can be not so tasty as it consists of water vapor and solids.This leftover dregs is what causes the demise of atties and cartomisers as the soilds build up on the element and insulates it and the other funk just tastes bad. -

What kind of carto are you using?What resistance?Could just be a bad mix.Sometimes you have to clean the gear when switching flavors.The fact that you get vapor @ 4 volts kind of puzzles me cause if the carto was toast it shouldn't work at all.If it is a tank the carto could be just dry ,if it is a clearomiser I would guess liquid .If you are using lower than 3.0 ohm resistance 4 volts would be harsh by my standards.Once you singe a cartomiser it will taste bad .The onliest thing you can do is try another carto and make sure it is well saturated. -
Hello and welcome.Looking forward to another veiw on the world of vaping.
-
That would be good.Or I usually get my friends a Joye 510 kit and a box of Boge refillable cartomisers.I vape a lot and use about 20 to 30 ml a week and a carto every three to five days.Make sure you have enough stuff on hand because it take 3 to 5 days for shipping.The Joye kit with Boge carto's lets you try dripping as well as carto's and the kit comes with two atties and two batteries .Once you get used to the fact that vaping is not smoking but an acceptable alternative you should do ok.You will most likely never find anything that will duplicate smoking .There are however some very tasty eliquids and you will get your nicfix and be able to blow vapor rings with any kit out there.

Could be some kind of muscle cramps due to dehydration.Try drinkin more water.Have you been storing your eliquid in a cool dark place?With the heat if left in a car or in the sun it could be causin problems.Have you tried different suppliers?I am not too sure of what some of the domestic manufacturers are putting in there to create all that flavor .It sure seems to clog up my gear quicker than Chinese liquids.Don't hear that problem much so I am just castin about.

Emailing An E-Cig Guide To Smoke Shops

I guess for a lot of people it's all about getting or thinking you are getting your nic fix ,and as overpriced as some of that junk is, it can be less expensive than analogs.Some of us have gone way overboard and have turned this into a fixation and we know wayy too much .I never gave any thought to my ciggerettes other than to make sure I always had more than enough and a way to light them up.Most of the inexpensive R.Y.O. backy' was pretty nasty floor sweepings I suspect.I try not to be too hard on folks who don't seem to get it ,I just answer questions and sometimes make suggestions. -
I also liked the community aspect of standing in the rain and snow with folks I would not normally associate with and just conversing.When I was on the cleaning crew at the hospital I used to smoke with V.P's ,I.T. geeks and other folks I never see at all since we went tobacco free.

I got curiouse a few months ago and bought a pack of Camel lights.Had to give them away.I like my house ,car and clothes not stinking anymore.A few months in I cleaned all the curtains and repainted the house,I don't have any cloth upholstered furniture so I wiped the leather down ,I like it.

My triglycerides seem to be over 300 if I vape before testing.My research seems to point to the way the body uses the PG or VG it turns to sugar.BUt is rapidly filtered from the system along with the nicotine.Like you my cholesterol is awesome.
