What am I doing wrong?! Advice required please!

[helcat]

Hi all - hoping that someone can advise me what is happening with my kit please. I started with my titan tank and still use and love it fine but wanted something which holds more liquid so moved on and got a tornado T and a tornado C slim thinking that these would be ideal as they hold more. Neither of these have given me the same level of 'hit' as my titan which is frustrating now. I have kept on using them to try and get the hang however they just seem to be getting worse, really tight draws. I've now cleaned one and put a new atty in the other but no real success. What am I doing wrong?! I am pretty much ready to give up on these and get something that will give me the hit I am longing for, if I need to what system should I go for please? I do not really want to get into rebuilding coils etc, just want one I can use daily and get that lovely lung full from!! All advice appreciated as I don't think my other half is going to appreciate my continuous purchases of kit ha ha!

Hello and helcat

try one of these on top of your battery, I'm assuming the tornado is a fat battery not a cig-a-like?

you can buy replacement heads for it that just screw in

[Perpetua]

They're not especially good delivery systems helcat, so it's not you doing anything wrong.

I'd echo Karma's advice on the Iclear16, fantastic clearomisers, although a little thirsty on the juice front. But very worth it.

The heads are replaceable as well and last for months.

Welcome to you.

Hello helcat. Welcome to the forum.

[helcat]

Thanks guys, thats me sneaking some new kit past the other half this week then (!)

Welcome.

Plenty of people are frustrated by some of Joyetech's products. (you are not alone). As I frequently mention on 3 forums, the thing I notice most about visiting a Totally Wicked store is the I've never seen anybody using the "atomizer and tank system". Basically, they use the RCS devices.

I agree with Karma that an iClear is a good clearomiser to try out if you seek a good "hit". There are lots of clearomisers around, but these are "stronger" than evods and protanks. I use them all.

Interesting to note as well; I bought a TW RCS clearomiser. It was fine (ish), and I notice since getting it that the cost of replacement heads has come down a lot. I wouldn't buy one over an iClear or Protank, not now. Basically, when it comes to atomizers, Joyetech are too big to keep up with the times, so they sell old tech stuff for too much money.

wow thanks all - would a variable voltage battery make any difference? was thinking of getting an MVP kit as the battery life on those is meant to be amazing...just really want now to have one bit of kit which delivers constantly rather than constantly charging bits and carry around all manner of bits with me 'just in case'!! Happy to mess around with it all at home and have a pocket full of odds n sods but when I'm out and about it gets awkward stopping in the street to swap parts and refil!! :-)

Yes, well an MVP will last a long time between recharges. So will any "mod" with an 18650 battery. I just got 5 days out of my SID. (Must mention I don't take it to work). Whether a good battery or Varible Voltage/Wattage will solve your your problems with your atomizers is a tough question to answer. My mate who vaped on a Joyetech ego-C refused to move up to a whopper battery. So, I gave him 3 x 1.8ohm clearomisers to try out. (CE5, evod and mini nova). I think the Totally Wicked store is wondering why he never went back.....

[helcat]

Wow thats amazing to get 5 days out of yours! I've bitten the bullet and gone for an MVP with a decent clearomiser, I had a cheap clearomiser which I've stuck on my tornado battery for the time being and that seems to hit the spot! I think totally wicked will miss my custom ha ha as I am giving up on the rest of them! Although I have to say for a 'cig-a-like' style the titan is really good - theres 3 others at work on them now, should have charged a commission, only thing with them I found the attys clogged easily and I spent more on them than I did when I smoked!! Will mess around with clearomisers until I find the one that is right for me :-) Thanks to all for the assistance :-) anyone know any way of making the tornado bits into something I can use?!!

Brilliant.

I sometimes wish I'd never bought 18650 mods (3) and batteries (6 or 7 (?) of them) just so I could justify an MVP.

[helcat]

I can't wait for it to arrive now :-) wish I'd had it before I went on holiday last week - spent the week desperatley trying to get a draw out of my tornado while waiting for a titan battery to charge grrr - never mind, next time I will be prepared :-) not sure what to wish for for Christmas though now that I have bought this bit of kit...I'm sure I'll think of something!

Another plus 1 for the iclear16s. They literally last for months and give a fantastic vape, great flavour and loads of vaper. They are thirsty, but you wont get great flavour and vapor without converting liquid

Yep ... if all else fails these are a pretty good bet.


You know, you might not be doing anything wrong, some of this equipment can be downright temperamental. There can be a lot of trial and error involved. Take your time, read everything you can and don't hesitate to shout for help because the folks here will wade in with all guns blazing.


Just try to enjoy the experience.


Jag. (Not more juice in my lap? Shit!)

[helcat]

It does seem to be quite temperamental! I love vaping and do not want to go back to stinkies now that the craving for them has gone (phew!) will keep reading up on it all, there is so much information in the various forums, its great to have a community like this :-)
