Cartomizer burning my lips + leaking

[DW82]

I have a V4L Titan, which I really like because it's small and lasts me all day. The problem is their cartomizers. The ones that work (I have FOUR that came to me with the juice all dried up) leak juice into my mouth and burn my lips.

I have zero desire to do any sort of modification nor will I use anything that isn't the same size or as close to it as this.

What are my options for A) not burned lips, B) less leakage, and C) a more reliable supplier?

Anybody? I ended up buying a pack of cigs tonight out of frustration. I'm flying to South Korea in 3 weeks to see my boyfriend. I need my nicotine and cigarettes aren't an option!

Years ago when I vaped I had a battery, an atomizer, and the empty carts to fill with juice. No mod, no fuss, no variable voltage or rebuilding things. Just very straightforward. I don't understand 95% of what people are talking about on here so I feel like a toddler in a calculus class.

For starters when you set limits for your self you are insuring you will keep having the same problem. I dont know what cartomizers threading that battery uses. If you find out you can buy packs of 5 in boges, Smoktek, or Iken vapes for penny's of the prefilled ones. MT Beaker sells pretty cheap juice to fill, and a drip tip will solve the juice in mouth problem.

you might try a protank or a evod or something along those lines

Edit: you can spend a little time on youtube to get some of the lingo down and you get to see what they are talking about so it not so confusing.

I'm not familiar with V4L products. I currently use only big battery mods, but I got my start vaping with Smokeless Image. They have the cigarette-size batteries that you prefer, as well as the blank (empty) cartomizers that you can fill yourself. They carry two e-liquid vendors so you should be able to find some flavors that you like.

I can recommend this company without any reservation. They got me off of cigarettes. They are a reputable company that sells quality products, with excellent customer service. Check them out. Electronic Cigarettes | Smokeless E-Cigs | Smokeless Image

They have a very active sub-forum here on ECF, so if you ever have a question about SI you can go there and get a fast response from the their devoted customers. Smokeless Image

Scrap what you have and start over. Get this and some juice from mt baker vapor. I'd add a spare charger for a back-up for piece of mind as well. Relatively cheap and will get the job done.

I don't know what a V4l Titan is, but I don't like cartomizers as I find they mute the flavour and a pain in the ..... I use a Vision spinner and TE3 bottom coil clearomizers. I've tried lots of different kinds, but I keep going back to them. Excellent flavour-vapour-last forever, no burnt hits . I still use some from a year ago. No heads to change, just rinse and reuse. Don't let this scare you, but you do have to use a syringe that comes with it, to fill them. Super easy though.

Honestly- get yourself an Ego Twist or a Spinner- battery lasts all day and then some-TE3's. Cheap set up. They have variable voltage, but I don't fuss with that too much. I failed grade 9 math and everything overwhelmed me at first. I like my set up-it works. I have no desire for a Provari, Reo or a Kayfun. All my money goes to juice

That thing is huge.

This is what I have now and love the size of: Vapor Titan Slim Electronic Cigarette Starter Kit | Vapor4Life E-Cigarette It's the same size as what I used before, and went off both smoking and vaping entirely using. That is my goal - I don't enjoy vaping to the point where I want to continue doing it. I want to wean off nicotine and be done entirely.

Well, I have to give you credit for quitting smoking with those. I'm sure that I wouldn't have been able to do it with the "cigalike" batteries alone.

I had 4 Volt cigalike batteries which I used away from the house and 1 Volt X2 1300 mAh battery I used at home from Smokeless Image when I started. They got me off of cigarettes within a weeks time. But after just three weeks I wanted something more. Longer battery time and larger capacity juice attachments.

So I give you credit where credit is due. I hope that you find what you need. Good luck.

I dont know the system at all, but as far as the cartos burning your lips, you could try a drip tip.

I didn't smoke all that much, never have. 1/2-3/4 pack a day of Camel Turkish Silver. It took me about 3 months to be totally done with nicotine, but that was about 3 years ago. E-cigs then were pretty straightforward and there weren't near as many types as there are now.

Ahhh, now is see Baditude's reason for being a carto guy. No problem dude, you have convinced me to try it out. I have an IBTanked on order.

Let me say first, whatever is working for you, GOOD. The whole point is not smoking cigarettes. If you have found success, good job indeed.


IP just want to comment on what you said a couple posts back. "I dont enjoy vaping enough to where I want to continue doing it, just want to get off cigs". Not verbatim, but close.



Have you ever thought that the reason you dont enjoy vaping is because you are not willing to try anything other than that cig-a-like with prefilled cartridges?

Its not the cig a like style thats the major problem. Its the pre-filled cartomizers. God awful. If you tried a boge cartomizer that you filled with quality juice, even if you vaped it on a cigalike battery, I would be truly suprised if you still said you didnt enjoy it. Might take a few juices to find your flavor, but..


Ive said to all my friends who were interested in vaping, all who tried Blu or Logic and were reluctant to try "my weirdo vaporizers", I said the same thing. "Guys, if you dont forget completely about cigarettes in a few days time and absolutely love vaping, then you're doing it wrong".

Now, thats to my buddies, so I can be a little bit of a pushy pete. And like I said, youve found success, all the more power to you. But I wouldnt feel right leaving you without saying that, hey ya know, if you tried this, you just might go nuts for it.

Food for thought.

That eRoll seems to be very similar to what I had before. I had looked around and couldn't find anything similar a few weeks ago when I decided to go back to e-cigs, but since everything had changed so much, I ended up with the first thing I found that looked easiest and wasn't huge.

I did buy juice and blank cartomizers, but was still having the burning/leaking issue. Using a drip tip could solve that problem, but I think I like that e-Roll better. Thanks!

 

[CommaHolly]

my daughter loves the e-roll,,,,,,,,,,if you're vaping like you're smoking, a cigarette here and there,,,,,,,it could very well be the answer for you,,,,,,,

it would drive me nuts, but she fell in love with hers (a gift from a generous person here on ECF) in about 30 seconds.

 

[CommaHolly]

one thing though,,,,,

make sure when you buy the e-roll that you get a couple of the juice bottles with the needle tip,,,,,,,,,

you can't fill those tiny tanks with the larger tips,,,,,,,,

 

[DW82]

That is how I vape. I go hours without using it.

Yay! I don't hear that enough! Be done with anything related to ciggies and vaping before you get hooked on vaping, flavors, or PV's.

Much better things to spend your money on out there!! Best Wishes.

I ended up getting an Innokin iTaste VV V3.0 and some juice from Mt. Baker Vapor. It's a bigger device than what I want, but I think overall I'll enjoy it more.

Thanks for the help
