Hi all, I'm a new member, new to vaping (last analog was 4 weeks today) and ecigs in general.
Along with the 6 prefilled cartos that came with my auto starter kit from SmokeTip (didn't know about the manual type until after I started...oh well) I also got an additional 10 prefilled cartos in various flavours. I have since ordered additional prefilled cartos (awaiting their arrival) from SmokeTip but after reading about the endless array of ejuice flavours out there, am a little disappointed with the flavour choices of the prefilled cartos...guess I'm still trying to find 'the one'..lol! That said, I've already made the transition from analogs to vaping (have NO desire to go back to 'smoking') and am just trying to navigate my way to finding the right system and set-up for me. I ordered a couple bottles of ejuice from eVapers and was so relieved when it arrived yesterday (3 days after placing the order!) since all of the cartos from my original order were pretty much empty and I know it'll be at least another week before my replacement order gets here (Canada) from SmokeTips (US).
I followed this forums directions for cleaning out the old cartos (boiling, blowing, etc.) and refilled a couple of them with the juice that I ordered. It was working for a while but now I'm finding that I'm not getting any flavour (or throat hit) from my refilled carto...if I take a few quick drags (to get it going), I get vapour, however, if I inhale I find that there is almost no flavour or at least greatly diminished flavour and next to no vapour on the exhale. What am I doing wrong?
Also, when popping off a couple of the end caps prior to boiling, I managed to destroy about 3 of them (they tore apart) and was wondering if there is somewhere where I could get replacement end caps or if there is another fix? I'd really like to try a flat tip but have no idea if that is even a possible modification for these cartos or where I could get some. Can anyone help?
Thanks!
