rolexblade Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Well first of all im a smoker for over 15yrs and im not proud of it...i got 2 of those 7/11 ecigs (xhale02) this was my first vape encounter and i loved it. About a week into it i drop my ecig in the toilet (dont poop and vape btw sux) anyway i clean and dry it and the thing produces no vapor anymore so i somehow manage to replace thNe atomizer in the store w out my reciept and the next atty i got seemed ok until the next day when i can barely get a hit every hour or so...looked everywhere on how to clean and or fix and no help i clean it but the thing is just very low on vapor i know couse my gf has the other one and it vapes just fine for her .To make this short i need help fixing my cheap vaporizer so i can not smoke by the time i review and buy the new vaporizer.M..so the problem is very low vapor even tho i get it real hot tryna vape and whats the best way to go considering me being a long time smoker (need big hits w burn) smoke pack of malboro a day thank you all inadvance:)
TroopX Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 You might have an empty cartomizer. You may have gotten a bad cartomizer also. If it's heating and getting hot, you should be getting the vape if there is juice in it. Pre-filled cartos can be hit or miss, and they are usually not equal to a pack of analogs. If you smoked a pack a day, you would likely need to change or refill that carto more than once a day. Also try taking slower, long drags to make sure you aren't cooling the atty too much when taking a drag. I'm still pretty much a noob myself- so others might have better ideas. As far as the new model..... Consider the long battery life and versatility that the joye ego provides. Or the same product with a different brand would be the volcano inferno (which comes with a 1000mah battery and PT 650 mah battery). Then there is the Riva 510 at liberty-flights.com, which is a knockoff of the ego- but with a coupon code, it runs about $37.50. All of these options will give you a far superior vaping experience IMO. RE: Big hits w/ burn.... Make sure your atty's are LR (low resistance). This provides a warmer, throatier vape and is supposed to simulate high voltage vaping. LR 510s are great- but I'm really getting spoiled on the 306 LR's the last couple of days. Very warm cannon of vapor. IF you decide not to direct drip, you can also get LR cartomizers and TW has the LR tank atty out now too. There is also the MAP tank, which a lot of people are raving about. OR you could start off big, and get one of the various HV mods being sold. While there are a lot of great options- I don't think you can go wrong starting with an ego/inferno/riva, LR atty's and a few bottles of good juice. Hope this helps, and welcome to VT!
nana Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Welcome to Vapor Talk. It does sound like you need more juice in there. Do you have any? If not, do you have any other cartridges to try? I have to agree that your best bet in a new device would be the eGo. There are a lot of higher voltage units out there, but I'm not so sure you'd want to start with them. I could be wrong. Whether you decide to direct drip, use the cartridges, use cartomizers, or whatever...be sure to order plenty of juice with your new unit.
rolexblade Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 The thing is i have been using it for a week already and yea it takes me about a day to finish a cart. i have the kind of ecig that has atomizer visible and uses it to pierce tru foil in replaceable carts...i use the new cart w same results (very little vapor on first and less w each next hit) and my gf is puffing away w allot of smoke on hers (menthol yuck) ...i have cleaned the atty in the alcohol and that made it produce bit more smoke...idk what the problem is...and also i havent done anything to mess w the device (read some 1 mentioned dewicking idk what it is nor will it help but i dont have any juice for now just have 7/11 refill carts) btw ty for contributing ill look into models you recomended once im home from work
mcquinn Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Have you recharged the battery?You can buy a bottle of liquid and refill the carts you have just drip through the opening in the foil.It is possible if you dropped the battery in the crapper it shorted out and is no longer any good.Try your atty and cart on her battery.And look into buying a Joye 510 or Ego kit because you will need to find a more economical way than the models they sell at truck stops and conveinience stores.
rolexblade Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 Yes i tried her battery and it was the same so im thinking must be atomizer....but idk what else i can do but clean it....
rolexblade Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 I solved the problem....like someone said i was not getting enough juice from cartridge. I stuck a safety pin in the cartridge and pulled out some of the fiber inside so that it reaches the atomizer...works fine now (actually it works better than it did) ty all for giving me suggestions. Now i can figure out what i want to buy next w out pressure. I was thinking Janty eGo but i see allot of people are asking questions about how to fix something w it so im skeptical.
easilyamused Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 dont worry about the eGo, the basic unit is not what people have been asking about fixes for, in fact its the most recommended unit here, works well, battery life is awesome, and parts are easy to find
