Thanks for the input on this. Great idea. I believe the craft stores sell small plastic baggies. I'll have to start there first. If I can't find them there, I'll just buy the Ziploc like you do. Excellent idea! I found out that I need to do this because I cleaned the atty that I used coffee in and then put a marshmallow flavor in it and it STILL tasted like coffee! That was disgusting. So I'm learning as I go. Thanks!

I am finding that I need to use different attys for different flavors. Example: I want to keep my atty for using my coffee or chocolate flavor and another for sweeter, lighter flavors. I am wanting to know how others keep track of them to know which atty is for what flavor. I myself got a small piece of paper and wrote "coffee" on it and taped in on there until I want to use it. I'm just curious if there's a better or easier way to do this. Help please!

I'm finding that as getting more experienced with ecigs and eliquid I seem to favor a stronger flavor and different mg. nic. between daytime and the evening. I know this may sound strange to many but I use a stronger flavor such as the VT Sweet Dawn @ 24mg nic during the day then at home in the evenings I prefer a lighter flavor such as marshmallow @ 12mg nic. Does anyone else do this? I'm just curious!

I'm going to get one of those! That method works great - thanks for the demo!

All seems to be A OK with my Ego now. I just think it was a combination of the product being new and also with me learning a different way of inhaling because diretly inhaling was burning the hell out of my throat. The first flavor I was using was the RY4. That added to the nasty taste I was getting. The flavor was quite disgusting to me. I bought a bunch of new eliquids and love them. They are the fruity ones like pina colaga, cola, etc. So I'm really enjoying it now. I was just so new to this and I had to learn all of the little tips and tricks!

Thanks Bob! You definitely are very helpful and know your stuff. I already found a couple that I really like. I find that I like the sweeter jjuices like the sweet dawn. I think I got it all figured out now. Also, I'm not even using the carts at all. Direct drip is definitely the way to go. I just carry a small bottle of liquid with me and it's much simpler than messing around with those carts. I find that I get more flavor this way too.

Well it's something I'm sure others may have questioned but maybe too embarrassed to ask! My vaping experience is now an enjoyable one.

Well, at least for me, I find that it's better if I don't direct inhale. I just received my VT order and the first one I tried is the Sweet Dawn - I LOVE it! It's a nice pear flavor. Sweet! And shame on Cheech & Chong!

Age brings on knowledge and wisdom. Thank you for the happy birthday wish! I think I'm going to inhale the rest of my bday cake when I get home today.

WELL!!!! I just turned 39 this past saturday and I just learned how to inhale properly! This has to be the topper of the day on this forum

So I've been inhaling the wrong way all along? Even with analogs?? Who taught me this?? haha!

OMG! I feel like an idiot now!! So this is how I always smoked analogs and that's how I thought I was supposed to vape also! DUH! Yes, like you said I was doing a DIRECT INHALE! No wonder why I was getting the stinging throat! So now I'm wondering if anyone else was/is inhaling like me? I'm curious to find out. And all along is was the operator of the machine -

I just discovered a different way for me to "vape". Instead of inhaling the vapor while the ecig is up to my mouth, I'm first getting a mouthful of vapor in my mouth, putting the ecig down, and then inhaling the vapor that is in my mouth. I know this may sound REALLY strange but it feels better doing it this way. I don't get that burn and I'm still inhaling it. What do all of you think of this method? Does anyone else do this???

hmmmm....I put 3-4 drops on the atty....I think that's what they say to do. Not sure!

Thanks for the great ideas - so for the liquids that I do have, I'll order the 0 nic. in same flavor - I'm almost positive that it has to be the high nic. in the liquid. I'll find out for sure later on when I get home if it is that particular liquid or not. I have others coming in the mail (in the high nic. dose-orderered before realizing that the nic. was too high)- this definitely has been a real learning experience for me. The funny part is that I was never a "full-time" smoker. I was a "closet smoker". I would have 1 or 2 in the morning and maby 2 or 3 in the evening. Most people didn't even know this!! Then I find out I just don't feel right without having my nic. dose when I wake up. Having the ecig is the PERFECT replacement. A wonderful alternative. It tastes great - I enjoy smoking - I'm not trying to quit. I think it's fun to try different flavors. Kind of like a new hobby for me!

Yea, it's probably a combination of the large, powerful battery, the strong juice combined with just waking up and not having any water to drink. And with the Blu, it's a small battery and I don't get as much vapor with it so tells me that the Ego is one powerful thing!

Well, it's an actual harsh, burning feeling. I have not smoked analogs in a week so I know it's not from that. I don't get that burning feeling when I use the Blu at all and it's a 16 mg. nic. I was doing a lotta vaping last night, mostly with the Blu and then used my Ego this morning and was feeling more of a burn than I did with it yesterday. I woke up and didn't drink a lot of water, just a glass. Maybe it is the juice flavor also. It does have a rather strong flavor to it. It's the RY4. So, yes, it's kind of strong. So do you think it's safe to continue vaping this particular liquid or not (after my throat feels better?)???

I have been using my new Ego over the weekend and this morning and am wondering something. I have 18mg nic. Is it normal for the back of my throat to burn a with each inhalation? (I am direct dripping) I know maybe this is refererred as a "throat hit" but I'm really not sure if it's normal to feel a burn in the back of my throat from it. If it is normal, I can deal with that. If not, I need to find out what to do! Everything seems to be working properly with the unit itself. Great vapor. Lots of flavor. Just the burn. Help!

I starting using the "dripping" method last night and this morning. Well, this pretty much cleared up my problem. Tastes sweeter and more flavorful doing it this way. I'm not a big fan of the current flavor I am using but at least it's working. I have the 18mg nic - think it may be a little too strong because it's buring the back of my throat! BUT I must say it didn't take me too long to wake up this morning! That was nice!

That could be! Maybe that's why I thought my Ego wasn't working right....it is the flavoring - like you said "that awful burnt taste".

You hit the nail on the head right there......it's more like a "cigar" flavor. At least I know what I don't like. So in the meantime, being that I only have one bottle of liquid I have to go back to my Blu cigs until my new flavors arrive.

Oh yea. Lots of flavor from this liquid but I need to keep searching for something I really like then I won't be able to put my Ego down!

I think I have some bad juice! Or I just hate the flavor - it's the RY4. I have other flavors coming - and they will be from VT from now on. My other flavor (that I don't like) is not from VT.

Ok, so I just did it with the atty and letting it dry out. I put the other atty on and am now using that one. I don't really taste that flavor now being that I direct dripped on it and am now using the cart. NOW, it's a different problem.....I HATE the flavor I have also! It's the Ryan 4. YUCK! Nasty. (I didn't get it thru VT). I have other new flavors coming to me and can't wait until they get here. At least this problem is easily solved. I guess not every flavor agrees with everyone. I definitely won't be buying that one ever again! Thanks for all of your help on here. Everyone is so knowledgeable!

I'm going to try the boiling method. Now should I boil my water first then remove from burner and drop the atty in or should I boil while the heat is still on? I know stupid question but I'm new to this.
