Just thought I'd start a thread about those good & bad vaping times.
What do you do when your having poor vaping experiences & how have you acheived A1 vaping experiences?
At the moment, my GGTB just isn't wanting to work. Even with fully charged batteries, it's spluttering on the juice. I'm using DCs & they are working fine on my Tornado batteries, so it's not an issue with the cartos. I'm constantly making sure all connections are clean, but no luck.
What could I do to improve the situation? I'm thinking new batteries, but haven't had the two I've got that long. No doubt it'll decide to work tomorrow.

That happens to me sometimes, Hissie and I think that it's just me puffing too hard and flooding the atomizer, on those days. It seems that sometimes, I need or want more nicotine than other times.

Hissie, Sometimes I find that locking the button and unlocking it again seems to 'fire up the GGTB'. My DC which I've been using exclusively for over two weeks is dark brown from the hot end to about half way up. Do they need to be rinsed ??? And when the vaping still doesn't go well for me I shout sweary words and sulk

A good rinse under the cold tap and then blow out excess water and leave the filler to dry.I hate it when mine go like that and do this and they are as good as new again.Ive been using one of mine for seven weeks and its still going good guns.

Yes I know what you mean...have great vapour and flavour one day, and the next I'm sucking up juice and gurgling horrible... And the charger does not seem to be working properly again! Makes me ratty sometimes

Yeah it is most annoying when things ain't working as they should, especially if your out & about. Will try the GGTB thing clutter, hopefully it'll work well I actually boiled some tank atties, will report back if they still work ok.

That's what I do also Blue after Chris gave me that tip, I just use a soft emery board . . . works a treat.

On the inside post of the button end Clutty, just give it a gentle caress wiv a bit of emery . . . no need to sand blast it. Cleans up the connection I'd imagine, certainly works.

I use Vodka to clean my connectors and threads and they don't half come up a treat. Improves the vaping experience no end.

Can you buy very small bottles of vodka? I will also try the emery board method perpy lol. Isn't it bizarre what we come up with in order to get the best vaping experience

Hissie,
You can buy a miniature bottle of vodka in most places that sell alcohol.
Bought one myeslf once when I was messing about with mixing my own juice.
Sadly I drank the vodka before it got near any juice.....hic...

What Batteries are you using hissie and where did you get em from?
There does seem to be a few cheap - knock off batteries around at the moment.
Yours are probably just fine but just thought it wise to eliminate this possibility on route to finding your vaping nirvana
