Vape more than Smoke?

[Gordy]

Hi Fuzzy ...so you are getting the horrid taste with different juices and different attys? because it could be that your taste buds are improving... i went through a similar thing after a couple of weeks off the analogues...all i couyld vape was menthol... give it time though and drink plenty and you will soon get back on track with taste buds better than ever

[Jemima]

I'm not sure what setup you have Fuzzy, the only thing I can suggest if things aren't tasteing quite right is to give things a bit of a clean, flush through with some water if your using a atomiser/cartridge and give the filling in the cartridge a few squeezes in some fresh water too. Make sure things are dry again after cleaning by blowing through the atty and squeezing the filling in some paper towel, water is contained in the juices but no point in drowning things out.

If you ahve tried a different atomiser/cartridge all together and still the same and it jsut came on all of a sudden mid vape then I have no idea whatsoever lol sry

If you cant try a fresh atomiser/cartridge or cartomiser then it could well be your tastebuds being a little frisky with their new sense of freedom. It just seemed a little odd to of suddenly come on, rather than happening in the morning first vape of the day type thing.

Do you have a menthol on hand ? sometiems that does it for me, just freshens the tastebuds up a little.

I vape a lot more than I smoked and I smoked 30-40 a day, more if I was on the lash. I only stop vaping when I go to sleep.

Just waiting for the first hands-free vaping device to be invented so I can vape MORE

I too vape more than I smoked but hell I did smoke alot !! I really liked the ritual of rolling a fag and smokin it, so I think that it's just the mental association type of thing, but then again I enjoy vaping far more than I ever did smokin (and boy did I love to smoke).

Considering the fact that the nicotine is harder to get into ur system via vaping than thru traditional smokin methods goes along way to answer why we all vape more than we used to smoke.

As for Lardy, well I am gonna learn from that....no low resistance cartos for me, his dry mouth must be caused (or at least part way responsible) by the increased heat. I am never ever going back to those damn Cancer sticks.

Vape much more than smoke. Thing is, most of my fags used to burn away in my fingers or the ashtray. Vaping is a different thing altogether but suits my style of 'smoking' more then the real thing i.e. lighting up and a second later I've completely forgotten about it.

Now I would buy one of those

Naturally it would have to be an automatic battery - no point being hands free if you have to stop doing the washing up / building a new mod / whatever to use one hand to press the button to have a vape.

As a 40+ a day smoker I would light up automatically and often realised I had a lit a new cig while still holding on to a recently lit one - hadn't even put it in the ashtray and forgotten about it - would actually be in my hand as I was lighting the new one and I wouldn't realise until the second one was lit.

As for vaping more than smoking - yes I am doing that at present but I am a newb and I am trying to perfect the vaping technique and like anything in life you have to practice a lot to get perfect at it

I'm using a 510 with a separate atomizer and cartridge at the moment Jemima. Is it OK to get water on an atomizer? I would have thought it would wreck the heat coil, or whatever it's called.

I've topped it up and it doesn't taste so bad today - as long as I just have one drag and put it down. If I take 2 one after the other, the nasty taste comes back. I washed the cartridge last night and put a fresh piece of blue foam in it.

its fine to get them wet Fuzzy.... soak them in hot water if you have a syringe you could shoot some water through them too. then blow through them from the battey connection end and leave to dry naturally.... some people get better results using vodka instead of water

[Jemima]

Yep it's ok to get them wet, (the vodka technique always seems liek such a waste to me lol) they get wet anyway when they come into contact with the juice.

I saw a technique using baking soda and white vinegar that ive tried a couple of times, and as long as u rinse it out well theres no after taste.

[Gordy]

I've read that some people have got good results with a soak in denture cleaner over night... again as Jemima said make sure they are rinsed out well

[Scarface]

I give all my 510/901 atties good rinse every coupla days and a soak in Isopropyl alcohol once a week gives me better longevity with them. If you don't have any of the stuff mentioned around then boiling for 5-10 minutes can clean them up nice too, blow out excess water, leave to dry for
a while and then give a dry burn before vaping again.

I'm also in the habit of blowing out any excess juice from the atty at the end of the day as if left to dry onto the coil (esp dark juices) will just clog up the coil and ruin it.

[lardarse]

Things are looking up on the dry mouth front. I definitely react to juice that's all or almost all PG, metal l/r carto's or metal dual coils are also a problem to me, the clear ones aren't so bad, but funnily enough direct dripping on l/r attys is ok.

Bearing the above in mind I decided on one last buy before seriously thinking about quittng and what a good buy it's turned out to be...Smokeymizers....they do the job, not quite the l/r hit but good enough, no leaks and I can see how much is in them, and my mouths been ok apart from when i filled one with a pg heavy juice just to see and after a while i could feel the dryness/soreness returning, so Smokeys and d/d are the way for me and less of the ciggys again.

Regarding atty cleaning, I'm probably an idiot but I now do with them what I was doing with the dual coils, give 'em a flush clean with a syringe then a good freeze and a blowout.

[Perpetua]

That's great to hear Lardy, delighted that you won't be having to quit vaping yet a while.

If at anytime your budget allowed and you felt inclined to make a further vaping investment, I can throughly recommend using the Smokeymizer's on a VV device, you can then increase the oomphage quite considerably to give a more satisfying vape.

[Jemima]

Very glad things are looking up for you Lard
