E Cig newbie

[gingeruk]

Dont want to speak to soon, but I think I have cracked it.

[jaki]

Oh that's great news Ginger - please let me know what you have done if it works.

[Chrissie]

Would also love to hear how you have cracked it Ginger

I can also highly recommend the Garry Dibley (E-cig City) passthrou, but it looks like Liberty Flights has been out of stock of them for quite some time

The Tornado does give a much 'softer' vapour than the straight Titan. When I first started the vaping game I was using 18mg strength and found it simply wasn't strong enough so upped to 24 which I found much better. I find it's mainly the type of juice I use that determines the throat hit as the 510s, 901s and 401s produce very similar results. If you need a truly evil throat hit, try OKSmokey's "Mint Ultra" - tis a killer! You can always dilute it with VG or PG if it's too much (I have lol).

Vaping is certainly a learning curve as it's quite different from smoking - I'm fast approaching my fourth tobacco free month now and am delighted. I just wish the powers that be weren't deaf to our testimonials.

When I get that "no vapour" experience I just change the components, one by one. That's why I've always pestered newbies to buy more than one starter kit.

Quite often, failed components spring back to life, so don't discard them.

As already said, with a manual battery you can test whether the atty is working or not:

If it sizzles, then the atty is working and there's some juice in it but you might need a little more.

If it sizzles and gurgles, then the atty is working and there's sufficient juice - maybe too much if you're using a stuffed/filled cart as opposed to drippiing.

If it glows, then the atty is working but it needs juice. The length of time it takes to glow can indicate battery strength and atty efficiency, I reckon.

If nothing happens, then something is "broke" ... A new battery req'd? Atty needs blowing out? Contacts need wiping/cleaning? New atty needed?

To be honest I have no idea how I fixed it. Just started working bit better. At the moment I am vaping with a filled cart and direct dripping on it also every now and then when I feel it is not quite enought, so I think I do need to go to the next high strength. I also watched a few vids on vaping inhaling properly and that has helped so much.

P.S I am also ordering a passthru tomorrow and some more liquid as I went through so much liquid yesterday trying to get it to work. Happily vaping away tonight. So nice.

Thank you all for helping me out so much. You are all amazing, x

I forgot to say, it is my 1 week anniversary of being tobacco free and on the vapor tomorrow. Woo hoo, vaping rocks!! x

WooHoo Well done Ginger.

I will say unless you really need to use different flavours, 1 cart is enough to be using at any one time.

If you fill lots of them then your liquid will go down at a rake of knotts.

Not sure about the pass through as I personally would not like wires dangling all over the shop .
100% sure I would get up and wander off with it and my laptop being pulled on to the floor does not appeal

[Chrissie]

Well done Ginger

Keef, I used to think the same about a passthrough. But I'm so pleased I bought my Garry Dibbly one. I don't plug it into my lappy, but have it connected to a 5v 3a USB hub that I plug into a wall socket.
