Burning lips!

[VE Jason]

Thats because you are talking too much.

[nicky]

Awww jason i would be quite touched if i thought you meant it, lol i think i have sussed the problem, because there wasn't much vapour i added some more now it's back to burning and sounds like it's bubbling inside, so maybe i'm putting too much in?

[VE Jason]

I do mean it. It's only at the weekend I like to see you suffer

Yes, you may have a bit too much juice in there. Perhaps give the atty a blow out and see how that is.

[nicky]

Are you serious, not sure what you mean ?

[VE Jason]

Yes, I'm serious Nicky.

If you are using the atomisers that came with the kit, just take it off, remove the cartridge and blow through it into a tissue. It just gets rid of the excess liquid in there.

Also, some people give them a quick boil and then let them dry out.

But, it's worth bearing in mind that they may be starting to wimp off now, through use.

[nicky]

It's a new cartomiser i'm using

[VE Jason]

Same thing then, blow through it into a tissue as hard as you can. It will get rid of the excess juice.

But, if you get any tingling or burning on your lips from the juice - stop using it.

Just so that you know, I will always be serious with matters relating to e-cigs and your problems.

I'm only unserious when locked in the members lounge

OMG, when i took the cone off there was juice there, have blown it a couple of times and loads have come out, does that means it's empty now and may need just a couple of drops putting in?

[VE Jason]

No, it shouldn't be empty. It should be ok to use now.

Just try it again and see how it is.

Did you fill it properly in the first place?

They will take 25-30 drops when they are empty. You just add a few drops at a time and let them soak in (after you have taken the soft tip off so that you don't drip it down the centre tube).

If you get a bad burnt taste - the carto is done for and needs chucking.

There's a video on my site, on the Boge Cartomiser page, showing how to fill them using the 'condom method' which is pretty easy.

[nicky]

I think i filled it properly, didn't use as much as 25 drops though, i always take the clear tip off the top and drop it down the sides, no burning taste.

[nicky]

Got to get ready for work now, so will check your video out this afternoon when i get home, thanks jas.

[VE Jason]

Sounds ok then, just top it up each time the flavour goes, with 5/6 drops.

If you don't get the maximum amount in them with the first fill, it can leave dry pockets, which then burn. So fill them well, leave them to soak for a few hours, then just give them a blow through onto a tissue to remove any excess.

They are usually good for up to a week and then you just won't get the flavour anymore - that's when it's time to use a new one.

[Jemima]

Good luck today Nicky, hope you get through it got my fingers as crossed as a crossed thign that lives on crossed street for you.

[nicky]
