eCloudMaker Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) as I progress on this learning curve journey, i have stumbled again on something that is probably simpler than I tend to make things. as a newbie, I bought about a dozen, or so, small volume juice samples. I bought three tanks, seeing this coming - however..... I want to try more samples, before I have emptied the tank do I pour the old stuff out and then clean tank - aftre the clean-up I could try the next sample ----- that would be a waste of juice and wouldn't the used coils alter the taste somewhat? what do you do? Edited February 12, 2015 by Cloud Maker
Bebop Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Well.....I'm sure you'll get many reactions to this. But here's what I do.... I NEVER poor old juice back in to the bottle it came from. Not good. If I don't care, I dump the juice, dry up the wick as much as possible and then add new juice if it's a similar or like flavor. I never mix crazy flavors, like a mint with a coffee or a fruity then a bakery. Most of the time I just vape down and re wick the coil and start fresh. If it's one of my favorite juices I start fresh with a brand new coil. The solution is to have LOTS of tanks, haha. Tam 1
Tam Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I do the same with Bebop. NEVER pour old/used juice back into the bottle with fresh juice. I keep one tank per flavor so I have LOTS of tanks. Bebop 1
eCloudMaker Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) thank you such a fast reply I have yet to find a favorite juice... that is the current quest right now, it is silly and probably more of a newbie thing --- but I hate wasting nicotine that I am still hooked on I have a bit of a tasteless solution, but it might work I have some small glass bottles, I will label them 24ml, 12ml nicotine and such, then pour left overs in the bottles based on nicotine level taste would be off, but I probably didn't like the flavor in the first place. I have simple goals right now, #1 - Don't run out of anything while I make this transition # 2 - take another vape I have already realized: -- you need two batteries -- still waiting for this to be cheaper than smoking cigs (I am way, way over my smoking budget and I still want more stuff) - lol Edited February 12, 2015 by Cloud Maker Bebop 1
eCloudMaker Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 [note to self] more tanks = happy
Bebop Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 You are off to a good start. I vaped a lot of stuff that wasn't great in my early days just to keep off cigs and it worked. You'll find your juice. Hang in there.
eCloudMaker Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) thanks bebop - greatly appreciated - still feeling like a whimp [vape] [good news] I got a bit dizzy today when I had a cig vaping about 2/3rds of time at 24ml, 1/3rd cigs Edited February 12, 2015 by Cloud Maker
HOOKER Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 & if ya like cinnamon flavors dedicate that tank fer Cinnamon (make sure its NOT yer goto tank) use vodka ta clean out minty or crazy flavors.. I got lucky & tried 4 flavors at local shop before I found my joose.. & yes,, ya cood putta big dent in squaring the National Debt.. but it'll slow down when ya hit yer Happy level I'll tell ya what the owner of our vape shop told me (if yer a long time heavy smoker),, Get a Variable Voltage & Variable Wattage mod..... adjusting the wattage & voltage IS the key ta getting ta yer Happy Level...
vaping_jake Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 i agree with multi tanks. I can kick myself' never thought of dedicating tanks to a flavor group...thats a good idea. I also brought a dripping atomizer to pour the little left over juice in if its a worthy juice.
Tam Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I have already realized: -- you need two batteries -- still waiting for this to be cheaper than smoking cigs (I am way, way over my smoking budget and I still want more stuff) - lol Start up costs can be a bit steep, but once you have your gear, maintenance is all that's needed. Unless you see something new and shiny that you just must have! A minimum of two batteries is a must when starting. More than two is an insurance policy against bad days when one battery dies only to find out that you forgot to charge your back up battery. Or you lose one and the only one you have left needs to be charged or one breaks and the other one is at home... You get the picture. Get back ups of your back ups. You can never have too many. When you have a bad day, you'll be thankful that you got extras. It happened to me the other day. One battery ran down and needed charged. I changed to my back up. It, too, was dead. Went to back up #3, don't know why it wasn't working. Back up #4 finally worked while I charged/recharged all three batteries. Sometimes it's the batteries, sometimes it's the tanks, sometimes it's the coils, the juice, whatever.
Mirage Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 ^^^what she said. And I learned it from her...
Earthling789 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Tam is always spot-on with preaching about backups for your backups I've been in that position too, where one dies, another has no charge (when you thought it did), and a third (or fourth) finally works enough to get you home... As for tanks... I keep one flavor in one tank, or at least rotate two similar flavors in the same tank, so I'm not having to clean them as often (to remove flavors) or swap coils as often (to remove flavors). I currently vape about a dozen or so different flavors... but only have TWO favorites... the others are a few hits here and there to mix up the pallet. I have roughly 20 tanks that I use regularly. 16 of them are rotating through different flavors, and the rest hold my all-day-vapes, so I don't have to stop and fill a tank when I vape it dry. Currently on my desk are 4 box-mods (two with my two ADVs, two with other good flavors), and all the other tanks are sitting in the rack, filled, and ready to vape when I want them. Sooo, yes, as you progress into vaping, picking up a tank here, battery there... you will eventually have more than you "think" you'll need, lol, but as you start out, having a few tanks (I always like to suggest 3-4, minimum) and batteries (minimum of two) to keep you going through the day, and allows you to try new juice flavors, and still have a "current favorite" loaded and ready.

eCloudMaker Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 hey kids - i really need to thank you for making me feel welcome here i'm finally to the point where I can ask questions I've watched so many youtube videos i had to drink coffee to chill out

Tam Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Unfortunately, or fortunately as the case may be... I can't lie well enough to become a politician. LOL
eCloudMaker Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) dripping atomizer, seems like a good idea for the start-up taste testing and the search for favorite flavors - just flip the cotton out - next juice please !!! Edited February 13, 2015 by Cloud Maker
