AIBU to carry on evangalising about electronic cigarettes? (Part 3).

[magimedi]

This is now our third thread.

Thread 2 is here - with lots of useful information:

Check that it's screwed in tightly and that the post on the top is on properly. If that's not the problem then it might not have enough wick - apparently you can use cotton wool as extra wick if that's the case.

Dry it with a cloth, including taking the pin out and giving the wick a good going over.

Sometimes I have to use PoundLand cotton buds to clear out the inner tube.

Use cotton buds to clean the battery each side.

Good guide here: www.discountvapers.com/why-does-my-clearomizer-gurgle-and-leak/

Sometimes it can be useful to put another one of the plastic rings on top of the first one, but upside down.

My clearos are v high maintenance

Queen, I'm sure people on the threads were re-wicking to 1.8 - eek! Might change the order

1.8 should give you more vapour on a standard battery but as far as I know it won't prevent leaking.

Oh I see

Thank you for the good thoughts by the way!

I think you've conflated re-wicking and rebuilding coils.

I must have. Six weeks in and still so much to learn.

Good. I need a hobby

Yes, I rewick to 1.8 It doesn't stop gurgling though, you just get more vapour. It's the same as cranking up the voltage a bit.

This is good for gurgling bottom coils, plus the cheapo cotton bud down the centre tube. If none of that works, try the tips on this page.

And the tank running hot problem? Is there a fix for that or should I just chuck it?

rebuild! I rebuild to 1.8 ohms

Is that a bottom coil too Dwerf? When you say running hot, are you getting a burnt taste or does it just get physically hot? If it's just getting hot but not burning it's not a problem really. It might be a sign that the coil's about to go though.

Is it tasting burnt Dwerf? If so you need to change the atomiser or give it a clean.

Physically hot. I don't think you can take them apart, you fill them from the top.

If it vapes ok then I wouldn't worry about it myself. Can you link to what you have? Most tanks have replaceable atomisers.

They are like this: premiere-cigs.co.uk/product/l-e-d-3-5ml-clearomizor/ I've had them a while, maybe they are just old.

Sounds like a CE4 - does it have long dangly wicks in it?

Fucking hell you have got shinyitis! They're great! Do they really hold 3.5ml?

I agree with queen, if they're vaping ok just carry on. If they have dangly wicks and you are getting a burnt taste it can help to tilt them occasionally to make sure the wicks are well soaked.

They do, but the wicks don't dangle, they are a bit long for that. They may even be attached at the bottom. I'm not sure they are vaping right either, now that I've tried the new tanks.

I don't think they hold 3.5ml, there's no markings on them. I think they are 1.8ml

They look like they might unscrew from the bottom and have replacement atomisers under related products - I'd drop them an email and see if they do have replaceable atomisers.

They don't unscrew. And they were on clearance at the shop where I bought them (physical shop), on the website they don't even have a manufacturer for these tanks. I think I'll bin these two and when the others run out, I'll get better tanks. Cheers anyway.

I've noticed that myepack have the itaste 134 mini for £80 and the original for £90.

Evening ladies - sorry for the silence, but been out all day rather than stuck in front of trash daytime TV.

Ledare congratulations, so happy about the biopsy results!

Schro - "bricks and mortar" shops refer to ones that have a physical presence rather than just being on the internet, as in they are built from bricks and mortar (the most common building materials at the time the saying was coined).

I definitely agree we should try to stay in AIBU for the traffic, and I was thinking just today while out that the term "Next of Vapers" should somehow be in the title of the next thread .

Bumped into a guy today in Maidstone who was vaping outside the Auction Halls, so naturally we got talking. He got his battery & clearo set up from Socialites, 2 small batteries (maybe 650mAh if that), 2 clearos and a charger & it cost him £50! He also asked about juice, as he wasn't sure they were great value for money - at £10 for 15ml I told him they weren't! Sent him away with lots of things to Google & the names of a few of the on-line places we've had recommended on here. Apparently they've given the impression that he HAS to keep using their batteries and clearos as none are compatible with each other - I proved THAT wrong by screwing my GS-H2 onto his stingy little battery. He was VERY jealous of my rainbow spinner

Arghh! Both of mines are now tasting burnt and my main one was not at all cheap...
