Hi Keef, thank you so much for finding that out for me.
I dont even hold the vapour in for 2 seconds and still nothing. One of mine started glowing so I direct dripped on it, and not really anything. When I draw on the tornado and dont inhale I do get vapour, but when I inhale it I am not getting the satisfaction I was getting a couple of days ago with exhale and throat hit. I think I am going to get to get a couple of new attys and mybe a slightly higher strength juice. See if that works.
Also if I direct drip a couple of drops, how many vapes do you think roughly it would take before I need to direct drip again. Dont want to burn out an atty.

Scylla, what did you do to resolve the no vapour on the exhale? Did you manage to figure it out?
Chrissy, just cleaned all the threads and connections and still no luck.
I miss my Tornado!! :-[
Do you think this is covered in the 28 day totaly wicked policy, or should I just buy new atomisers? But don't know to tell them I need the atomisers replaced, or the batteries, or both.

Ok, so I think I found the way to test the atomiser. I drained both the atomisers, put a fresh battery on it, direct dripped 2 drops onto the atomiser. Put a clean cartridge in it without the wool stuff. And it still produced hardly any vapour. Seriously, I can hardly see it come out my mouth on the exhale. Did all the same with the second atomiser and nothing, exactly the same results. Do you guys think it is the atomisers then?

Chrissy, there is no glow ring thig, but they are still hissing and getting the outer casing warm. I have two batterys and from what I can tell they were both fine, before this problem, when I started noticing less vapour etc, I would change the battery and all would be fine again, so I dont think it is that.
Do all atomisers glow?

Oh forgot to add, how do you know if you have burned the atomiser out as I am worried I may have done that if it has not flooded.

Chrissie, i have tried everything you suggested but still no go. Keef, the atomiser does not glow when I press the button without the cart in it. Booger, does that mean I have busted the atomiser? The other one I have does not glow either. Broke them both. Boo! Is there any way to fix it or does it mean ordering more atomisers? Not even had it a week and I have broke it lol, Technology does not like me :-[ Edited to add, found this on google www.ecigexpress.com/blog/how-to-clean-a-flooded-atomizer/Do you think it is a good idea. Hoping to get it working again, as I really dont want to go out and buy cigs.

Thank you Keef and Chrissie. I am sitting watching all of his youtube videos just now.
Ok, one problem was wondering if you could help me with. I am having a little trouble with my vapour/throat hit. When I draw on the tornado and dont inhale there is a load of vapour produced. When I do inhale I have not been getting any throat hit for about a day now and the vapour I exhale is hardly anything. I dont hold the vapour in my lungs for long at all. I have tried both mouth inhaling and direct inhaling but no difference. Its kind of like smoking fresh air. I think I need to feel a good throat hit so get the satisfaction from the tornado.
I have a drained atomiser, fresh refilled cart, fresh battery and I have tried direct dripping onto the atomiser.
Not going to reach for the real cigs, but just hoping you guys might have an idea of where I am going wrong. x
Edited to add, would going up to a slightly higher nic content give a stronger throat hit?

Lilac, thank you, I have pm'ed you.
Scylla I do love my Tornado, but then again I have nothing to compare it to, lol. I have noticed that it is easier to draw on it when the cone is not on it, strange, no idea why this would make it different?
I have cleaned, dried and refilled an empty cart the way igetcha's youtube videos say, thought I did it right but it seems a bit harder to draw on it??
Lilac who is Andy on youtube, would you be able to give me his youtube name, I am watching as many vaping videos as I can just now. x

Lilac, I would love to try it in that case, if you dont mind. I am just having a go at filling my carts tonight and waiting for laundry to finish, as I cant sleep. Fingers crossed. x

Thank you Lilac, my boyfriend is so impressed, he gave up smoking 5 years ago and hated smelling of smoke because of me. He tried my tornado once and was very impressed, Managed to blow smoke rings too, grr I can not for the life of me do them, lol.
Lilac what is the black filler? I am also going to order more menthol as I really like it. I am going to order the strong strenght next as I think I would prefer a stronger menthol taste and I only ordered the normal last time.

Hi guys, how are you all doing? Just wanted to update you on how i am doing. I managed to get a hold of 18mg menthol ice e juice from enjuice, and I love it. Fills in the thing I thought was missing, which was the taste of something. The only thing is sometimes I get a really good throat hit and sometimes not even a hint of one. Have not figured that out yet? The next thing I plan to do is clean and refill my empty cartridges that came with the starter kit with the e juice. I have just been direct dripping at the moment and seem to manage to get it all over my hands when I do that. I am hoping it will be more convenient than direct dripping all the time. Also, I have still not smoked a proper cig yet!! Woo hoo!! My house smells nice now, and I can dry my washing in the house without it getting smoked to death. Oh and I smell pretty too

Thank you Keef, that makes sense, lol.
Lilac, cloud 9 are miles cheaper than the other sites I have been looking at, Ordered a 10ml bottle of menthol ice valuevape, and 10ml bottle of cherry cola valuevape from ENjuice, but I will definatly try cloud 9 next time as it is so cheap, would you mind letting me know what you think, if you end up ordering before me?
P.S. I still have not smoked a proper cig, thats 10 hours in and feeling no pain(as yet, lol).

I am upset too that the threat of a ban is hanging over using e cigs, as I am so impressed with it already. I thought I would be diving for the real cigs straight away as people had warned me they were not at all like real cigs. But I have not. 7 hours now, Woo Hoo!!!
Oh one more question Lilac, (sorry) on e-cigs website, how do you know what strenght of E liquid to get? They have low, med, high etc with a low percentage next to them. I know I want the 18mg on the other sites. But I am using the high carts just now from totaly wicked so would I just get their high e liquid ???

Thank you Lilac, I am going to have a look at the two websites you most recommend for the monthol. I do love it so much. I am glad I stumbled across E Cigs. On Sunday morning I had never heard of them.
Oh and I have not had a real cig since 1pm. Started using the tornado at 1.30pm and have not had a problem so far, just using the e cig. Is it weird I am not trying to kill someone to get normal cigs? lol, X Cant wait to see if my mum will like it. She has been a 30 a day smoker for about 30 years, so fingers crossed.
Thank you all for helping me out, x x x

It is here!!!! And I love it. It is so easy to use and get va pour from. And it does not smell, thats the bit I love the most. I hated knowing I was stinking of smoke. I first tried the high cartridge that came with it and the strenght is perfect I think. I have not had the urg to smoke a real cig since I had my first go on my Tornado.
The only thing about it is I dont think the carts that came free with it taste of anything. They have a very slight sweet sftertaste and thats it. So to make the Tornado perfect I would really love some e juice. I thought I ordered some with my box, but I have managed, in my excitment, I forgot to order them. Which is good I guess as now I can look at the cheaper websites Lilac suggest.
Lilac just wondering if you know if the menthol from the diffrent websites taste the same? I am not sure which one to order now. x
