Really fed up - considering throwing the towel in...

[effington]

I have no idea I'm afraid what ohm - just what came with the clearomisers - juice is generally higher PG as I prefer throat hit (is that right?)

Voltage currently just under 4 - I think the higher I go the more it can distort the taste / burn? so am consciously keeping below that?

What heads should I order then as I now have no spare?

Gah - my head is tired!!

Thanks so much for your help - it really is appreciated and I would quote you / link your names but I'm not nearly clever enough!

[Super-Shiny]

If you want effington you can post them heads to me and i will re-wick them to try and make them leak free, all i would need is you to also supply a pre-paid self addressed envelope in with the Evod heads.

[effington]

Oh that's so kind Romelee - I'll take you up on that if you don't mind?

[Super-Shiny]

I will PM you my address now.

[effington]

Right - I've got some strawberries and cream on the go which whilst not my favourite at least I can taste so vaping like fury on that in the hope that it will keep me away from the stinkies! Went and bought a packet but they're still wrapped up....

Don't give up effington !!! I'm fairly new to this as well, evod is a good bit of kit, mine is 1.8 ohm on an ego type battery, good taste with lots of vapour at vg/ pg 70 /30, I did find that over the first lot of weeks my sense of taste did begin to change and things began to taste differently, stick with it........ Better than the alternative.......... Cigarettes !

[Super-Shiny]

Keep at it effington you will bump into problems now and again, especially when first starting out but that fades away once you have found and is comfortable with a kit and juices you like.

Stay strong, you will get there sooner rather than later.

No easy answer I'm afraid effington . . . there is certainly some expense when you're starting out, but it is very worth it when you find some flavours and a set up that works for you.

Perhaps look at eliquid with a higher VG content, that will be thicker and less likely to leak through your clearo's.

Perpetua is probably bang on here, your PG is about as thick as water. I only vape 50/50 in evods and have never had a leaker, as for tasting bad I have had loads that taste really good at first but all of a sudden taste like s**t, whack some 50/50 menthol in it, its like a cure all

I think that's one of the reasons I don't ( as a rule ) suffer with any leaking problems in Evods and the like Bazzer . . . all my homebrew eliquid is VG heavy. I tried a sample of a PG juice someone gave me in a Vivi Nova. It just ran out straight through the bottom.

Excellent.

I am trying to do my smok ARO tonight to work out a combo that stops the leaking. Got 2mm wick inside a pre-wrapped coil and then another 2mm on top. Still gurgling, but not leaking as yet.

[toots]

Sometimes I can't get any juice to taste right, even my favourite butterscotch flavour. Now don't everyone laugh but I've found that if I go and clean my teeth and then swill with mouthwash the juices all become nice and palatable again.

Some days it seems like I'm forever cleaning my teeth Oh well, at least I'm keeping the toothpaste company in business and my teeth are whiter than white.

It doesn't matter how long any of us have been vaping, we still come across little obstacles & problems......I know I do & I won't give up until I've worked it out.........it's all part of the fun.........then again, it's not so nice if you've just started, as all you want is something to keep you off the analogues.......hang in there effington...as I said at the beginning of this thread, between us, we'll get you up & running & you'll be glad about it in the long run......& kudos yet again to Super-Shiny....great bloke.

[Pepperty]

aha toots I agree with that advice, I've been doing it myself ( somewhat cluelessly) but it does work xx
