Hi Dinamic 22.

Depending of what type of clearomiser you are using, coil and wicks don`t last for ever.

You state that you have had 2/3 weeks usage from them, which is very good for a throw away type.

If they are rebuildable, by replacing the coil and wick, you will again have the vapour, flavour and throat

hit you want.

Thanks for your reply Jeff, they are ce4 clearos which i believe are not rebuildable, but i have had new clearos on in the last couple of days & its not making any difference

Could be your charger isn't charging the batteries correctly leading to low power issues? ???

[dinamic22]

Not sure Jen they last approx 2 days between charges & are 3 weeks old does this sound about right

You could trying upping the nic content until this passes.

It could well be part of the detox process, I had a lot of ups and downs in the beginning, but the downs passed quickly, and once I had "settled" the downs became a lot more subtle and rarer

You said you had put new clearos on in the last couple of days, and have had probs for the last couple of days ..... what resistance clearos were you using are the new ones the same?

Lower resistance clearos give more throat hit etc (but can burn some fluids) If you have upped your ohms, that could explain it

Hi Dinamic

A lot of people have said that there are times where you can't taste anything and I've just had one.

Like you I thought it was the equipment but the taste is coming back.

Also watch out for the 2 month itch - You are basically detoxing from all the additives in tobacco products and may get cravings for tobacco.

Good Luck and Keep Vaping

I suspect that your kit is fine but that you are experiencing what's known as a taste bud holiday. Sometimes, especially in the early days of vaping, our taste buds go through weird changes as a result of coming off tobacco. The end result is great - things taste better, richer, more satisfying - but the no-taste days are a bugger. The good thing is that it usually only lasts a day or two. Hang in there.

Are they ego style batteries like these?

If so, they have a little pin that can sometimes need lifting to make connection to the clearomiser..

Like this;



Of course I'm assuming it's a battery/connection problem?

[Jen]

If there's no vapour, that's not vaper's tongue, it's some kind of equipment issue. Yes, I reckon 2 days for battery life is fine, so rule out the charger. Whenever this happens to me, I stick a brand new head on, not just a cleaned one, as cleaning rarely removes the build-up of gunk causing the issue in the first place. New atty heads has pretty much always sorted the issue for me.

I agree with Oneday.

For about a week I was finding everything dull and muted.

I thought it was my fault as I'm new to rebuilding and using DIY juice that's also only a few batches old.

I went back to using my original set up and was still getting nothing from vaping.

I think it is just a phase that some people go through when they stop smoking.

For me it was the frustration of not having a good vape that was the worst part of it, I was still satisfying my nicotine cravings just not enjoying it in the way I knew I could.

Stick with the vapes and use your least favourite juice, no point in wasting the good stuff when you're not enjoying it.

[dinamic22]

thanks guys i will try the suggestions & really want to keep vaping so i'll try my best & hope i sort it or get over it lol, the clearos are the same as the ones that came with the kit, when i first started with these probs i was using the original clearos & just thought they needed cleaning or throwing, i cleaned those & tried new ones & still same problem so probably it is just me with taste buds going haywire, thanks again ???

My Riva batteries last 2 days, but I only use them for 1, as the flavour REALLY drops off after 24 hours, so I put it on charge and use the other.
As the battery discharges, the voltage drops, and therefore the power in the coil drops, so less vapour, taste etc.

If that's not the problem, apparently a good menthol will bring your tastebuds back to life

Hi Dinamic
I had problems a week or so ago with just not being able to hit the spot but it passed.

If however it is a hardware issue have you tried cleaning the battery connection on the riva (I use just a little piece of tissue rolled to a point which cleans out the gunk buildup (but i think the advice on here is to use a tiny drop of vodka on a cotton bud or piece of tissue(its not so much loss of vapour i experience when the connection needs cleaned but it does give an almost gritty taste to the liquid).

Might help and good luck

When the vaping isn't going well a day on methol sorts things out for me.
