Proper
Care and Feeding of your e-Cigarette
Now that you've
gotten your first e-Cigarette, read the instructions, charged your
batteries, screwed on the atomizer (or cartomizer) and have been
enjoying the benefits of vaping, you should know how to keep it in
good operating condition.
BATTERIES—As
you use your e-Cigarette, a small amount of e-liquid will eventually
make it's way to the threads of your battery, where you screw in your
atomizer/cartomizer. This can cause a poor connection, resulting in
poor performance. The easiest way I've found to fix this situation is
to gently wipe the inside of the battery connection with a Q-tip. I
do this every time I charge a battery, to keep the threads in good
clean condition.
Atomizers—The
parts of e-Cigarettes do not last forever. Batteries gradually wear
out, reducing performance, cartridges or cartomizers are also
replaceable, and so are atomizers. The atomizer is the heating
element of your e-Cigarette. Just as with batteries, the threads of
your atomizer will also collect a little e-liquid with use. I use a
lint free cloth to wipe the liquid off the threads. It only takes a
second, and your e-Cigarette will perform better if you keep those
threads clean.
Cartridges are
considered disposable, each one will generally last one to two days
before it begins to lose it's ability to 'wick' the e-liquid to the
atomizer. You can extend the life of your cartridges using a simple
method. As you draw on your e-Cigarette, the wicking material in the
cartridge will begin to to lose it's original 'fluffiness' and start
to get stiff. The effect of this is very noticeable. For one thing,
you'll notice that when you top it off with e-liquid, it doesn't hold
more than two or three drops, and you will also see the wicking
material has 'shrunk' down into the cartridge.
A simple way to
get a little more life from your cartridges is to use a pin to gently
lift the wicking material back to the top of the cartridge. By using
this simple trick, you can nearly double the life span of your
cartridges. Next, don't overfill your cartridges. When you do this,
you waste your e-liquid, and increase the amount of liquid that will
find it's way to the threads we were talking about above. One of the
most common reasons atomizers sometimes suddenly stop working is
because they're flooded with too much liquid. If you suspect this is
your problem, you can lash the atomizer into a stainless sink. If you
see liquid come out, chances are that's what's happened.
We hope these
tips help you to get more enjoyment from your e-Cigarettes, and happy
vaping!
