Help Please - Long Wick Rainbow

[CupCake]

Hi all

Please could someone give me some advice.

I've been using the short wick Rainbows but when I tried to re-order recently, I was advised they are now unobtainable. So, in their place, I ordered the long wick ones.

Vaping didn't really seem any different............until after I'd rinsed it for the first time. I left it to dry for about 4 days then refilled it.

The problem I've got is it just constantly gurgles and there is hardly any vapour or TH from the juices that I normally use anyway.

It seems like I can only use them once, then they are no good.

The short wick ones are still going strong after about 2 months, so am I doing something wrong.

Advice most welcome, thanks.

I don't use the Rainbows . . . but I'm thinking it will probably take longer for them to dry out, with there being more wicking material, even after 4 days, your first few vapes could be a bit wimpy after washing.

You could give it a blast with your hairdryer to dry out any residual moisture or cut the wicks down if you wanted Poppsie.

Give it a dry burn, they always take a good few drags to come back to life. The wicks will still be wet. Look down the mouthpiece end and look for the coil glowing while dry burning. Give it a blow through the mouthpiece as well, theres probably some juice or water in the tube, causing the gurgling.

After a rinse with water you can also do a few dry burns to remove the water from the wick before you refill with e-liquid.

By short wick Rainbows do you mean CE4+ with the top coil and short wick
if you do I have them in stock but only in clear and only whistle tip

cigel, I am (trying) to use these: www.vapeescape.co.uk/new-vision-ego-v2-rainbow-long-wick~362 (I don't have any problem with this particular vendor by the way). The shorter wick ones are exactly the same, apart from the obvious wick length.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I honestly thought four days would be long enough to dry out, I left them longer than normal because of the longer wick. My short wick ones gurgle a bit but only for a few minutes. The long one does it continually. I'm at a loss what to do now. Tried dry burning too. x

Perpetua, I don't have a clue how I would get at the wicks to cut them down. I'm practically totally deficient with the sciences of vaping

The V3's are just the same but you can take them apart to wash them, they are dry overnight. It's also cheaper because when the attie/wicks die you just screw another one on for about £2.50 and you can cut the wick if you prefer shorter

Poppsie - Jason at Vapeescape still has a few short wick visions, black only, here

Thanks oneday. When I tried to order some I was told discontinued so maybe Jason has got hold of some in the meantime.

malibu, I like the idea of those re-buildable ones.

thanks for your help everyone.

A few hard blows holding a tissue underneath followed by a few good hard sucks on them will remove ant gurgling,I have washed and put them back together in the space of 30 mins without a problem
