Hanow I sometimes find mine get clogged up There's 2 air holes in the battery end of them and I get a really small needle or drawing pin and put it in them and give it a good wiggle about, if you then blow through one of the air holes some mingin sloppy juice should come out the othe end, Doesn't taste to nice but mine work like new once I've done that,

River - my favoured combination: caramel, coffee, maple - doesn't half get gunky quickly! But I have just given it a good blow-out, and it has improved. I had been blowing on the wrong end! :-[ >>>>>

Curtis - thanks hun - I cross posted with you there. Am pmsl, 'cos 'mingin' really does suit how this gizmo looks right now. Brown and gunky - but 'mingin' covers it well enough! But now, having trouble with the eyesight - I can't find the holes! ??? Okay - at ease - have found them.

Hanow,are you using a heavy VG mix?cartomisers do clog very quickly using heavy VG mixes.If you are i would thin your juice down.Ive had this happen many moons ago using VG,it doesnt go well in cartomisers.I can only advise that with it being a clear plastic dual coil to wash it out under the tap,blow out excess water and leave to dry.You should then be ready to fill it up again tomorrow with thinner juice.Try adding either a little vodka or distilled water if its a heavy VG mix and that will thin it nicely.

sound to me like you are putting to much in
the 1 you have just blown through,drop about 10 drops in tip end leave for 2mins and gently blow it through (catch liquid in condom and use later) im guessing it might be gurggling???????

Agrees with River as did the same thing myself - over filled it Just blew through & then gave the battery end a good wipe with a tissue & also wiped dry the battery threads - one DC carto as good as new I'm still gobsmaked at how good these Dual Coils are - best vape ever & lasting so well. BTW, I'm also using a fairly heavy VG juice & apart from the over filling glitch, it doesn't seem to be causing a problem.

Glad you have it sorted Hanow.Chrissie im amazed that a heavy VG mix is working so well tbh.I must admit that these dual coils have much better filler than in previous cartomisers,including Boges.

Chrissie, I agree. Very impressed with these so far. If these prove to have a reasonable life, they will work out to be much cheaper than standard atties! I haven't had a great deal of luck with my atties - only about 70% working, with many of those failing within a couple of days. > But yes, so far, so good - extremely happy vaping bunny!

Chrissie (a further little 'cough' from me). I couldn't get my head around what benefit a 'condom' would have - despite taxing my brain to figure it out. But then had to consider how to go to Boots (where I know all of the staff) and purchase some. Never having bought any, was wondering which brand was best for vaping ....... ??? Okay..... all of you, stop laughing. At times my naievity even has me laughing at myself. That said, next question: Today I received my second order from Jason (hugs and thanks to him xxxx) but the stainless ones (which have the 'condoms' - the clear ones don't) have an additional duberry - a white flat cap with a hole in it. (Hope you are all keeping up here.) Once removing and filling the cart -, before inserting a drip tip (in order to drip), do I replace that white cap, or leave it off? I know what I mean, and sorry if it is double-dutch to the rest of you. :-[ And whilst I am here - Lee, haven't received my GG yet, nor the extras I ordered from e-cigz (orders we placed last Thursday/Friday) - and haven't had any notification of dispatch. So, can anyone tell me if Cam is known to be a bit slow? No worries if he is, but just hoping that between Lee ordering the GG for me ( to be sent to me) and me then ordering some extras - explaining to Cam who/what/where etc. that I haven't confused him, and thus it is all heading somewhere else.
