Sorry if I have put this somewhere I shouldn’t I need some more help peeps please. So today I purchased a new tank I guess that’s not the correct name for it, sorry for my ignorance. problem I’ve been having is that the tank or refill system in the right in picture is a pain in the A*** for me to fill up, I.E removing the little bung and I’m just finding it all a bit messy and getting juice all over the place, plus I find they leak and juice seems to congeal around the mouth piece so I’m tasting the liquid. the other slight problem is when you puff on it, it sound and feel like air is getting in, making it a bit noisy and not very discreet, however the vamps are great. The one on the left is the one I purchased today; it’s fine to fill for me and not having to refill no where so often, and I love the feel of it when puffing and cosmetically it looks much better, also when puffing on it its absolutely silent not of this sucking noise, here’s the but its not given me the same amount of quantity of vapes as the old one. I do believe I may have when filling it accidently put a little liquid down the centre tube, would this cause the problem? Or is my batteries not man enough? Finally peeps, am I able to wash this system out with water? Many thanks, Trevor

Not as much experience as most on here but yes you can wash them out with warm water. If you got liquid down the middle tube you will need to blow it through I think. I'm sure someone else will be along with better advice soon.

Hya Trev, the clear one- try not to get juice down the middle hole, if you have do as Annie says, try and blow it out, make sure the top mouth bit is screwed in firmly, when you fill it, hold it tilted and dribble your juice down the side. If it gets weakish, give it a swill, shake, and either put new juice in after a few chugs it will be back to normal or leave to dry.
The silver one- when you put the plastic white cart back on, twist it a few times to ensure ots got a good connection and make sure its pushed right in. The hole that you see to fill it is better off being filled with a syringe or a spikey thing, the liquid around the mouth bit can be solved by looking at the bit that goes in your mouth, close, you will see a bit can actually come out, by carefully removing it, will cut down on condensation so should help with juice in the mouth, unfortunately, they are airy to draw on.

The one on the right is an imist..You can refill it without removing the bung by using a syringe and a dispensing tip..
The gurgle that you get is condensation. You can remove the plastic cap at the mouthpiece end and discard it and that alleviates the problem but once in a while you will need to run a tissue in there to clean up condensation, but nothing major..They are airy by design and do make some noise..Nothing you can about that..
The one on the left is a stardust or ego clearo. The vape on these will be less than the imist because their draw is tighter..

HMMMMmmmm..... The drip tip on the Vision looks like it's not screwed down? You have screwed it in have'nt you? Not too tight though just till you feel resistance.

Also the juice in the Vision looks burnt, you need to hold it horizontal or give it a quick "swish" every so often to keep the little wicks just under the silicone cap wet.

I can't really help you with the set ups you have, but have you tried a boge cartomiser yet? Cheap, simple and mostly works

I actually get on better with the one on the right than I do with the one on the left. I find a more constant vape with them than the stardusts (on the left, it is just another name for them). I have not had any issues with filling, and I find the bottles from Jay at Vapour Juice UK have the perfect tip for filling them as you just poke it through the hole that the atty has made.
As for leaking, I have not had one leak while it is on the atty, but have had a few that have leaked when I have carried them around with me when they have been peirced. One question are the caps made of hard plastic or silicone? I find the plastic ones to be not as good as the silicone (rubber) ones as they leak more.

You don't pierce the cap on an imist..It's a different design..

Thanks all, for the help. So I have found a needle and taken out the end cap one the one on the right, can’t say it made any difference, but must agree Batty it’s by far a better and more consistent vape.
The one on the left is much quieter, looks better feels better and don’t need filling so often. The liquid in it is a coffee flavour and to be honest its far to strong for me I’m having the taste of coffee hours after using it, so I need to dispose of that.
Going to wash it out today, how long do I have to wait before I can reuse it do I have to let it fully dry before refilling?
I’m I likely to damage it if I use it before its dry? I see lots of People keep saying and screw the one on the right… I have pushed it all the way down there are no screw threads on it at all, it is made of hard plastic, so maybe I should be looking for the silicone ones.
Many kind thanks peeps I really appreciate all you help, and I’m taking it all on board.
Trevor

Re: cleaning the Vision/Stardust.
You don't need to dry it before using, it's made to take liquid. Just give it a good shake out. You may have a few pulls where you get little flavour while the water left on the wick boils off.
However you may have a problem getting rid of the coffee taste, you may get better cleaning results if you gently pull off the silicone cap over the wick and coil with a paperclip with a bent end. Be careful you don't damage the wick though.
Once dis-assembled you could try soaking the vision in water with a denture cleaning tablet for a couple of hours, then rinse before trying.
Good luck!

Thanks all, for the help. So I have found a needle and taken out the end cap one the one on the right, can’t say it made any difference If you are still getting juice in the mouth after removing the top plastic cap on the imist, the cartridge needs to be replaced because the joints isolating the liquid tank and the airways are cracked.. You can use it whist wet..First few drags may be a bit light but the water will steam off.. You cannot screw in the cartridge on the imist(one on the right) and there are no silicone ones..It's a push fit..See oneday's post about the mouthpiece on the stardust/ego clearo ( the one on the left.)
