Welcome. Glad you are with us. The choice of strength of Nicotine (mg/ml) isn't always about how much you smoke. It's a great place to start but it may change. My brother-in-law is a chainsmoker of unfiltered something-or-others that are supposed to be really strong. He tried some 36 mg (Ultra High) that I have and he almost passed out from the head-rush. That's why some of the more experienced people in this forum recommend that you get a variety of strengths. Purchasing a variety of strengths is the easiest way to determine what works for you. ( I have heard that some use higher strength in the AM and lower in the afternoon or for a casual vape.) Personally, I use zero nicotine now. Another alternative is to get the high nicotine and if it's too strong, cut it with Vegetable Glycerin (VG). You can buy Vegetable Glycerin at a drug store or vitamin store (even WalMart) in the lotions/cosmetics department. If you cut it, the strength is directly proportional to the % you cut it. So if you have 10 mls (quantity) of 24 mg (nicotine strength) and you add 10 mls of VG to it, you'll have 20 mls of a 12 mg mixture. Warning.. it will dilute the flavor. But at least you don't throw away eliquid. At first, I would recommned just purchasing a few different strengths. Either way, You will find a balance of strength and frequency of vaping that may not exactly coincide with your smoking habits. If you decide to try cutting your liquid, you may want to pick up an empty bottle with an eye dropper at the drug store when you buy the VG. I've had the pharmacist give them to me for free. I'll put in my plug for this forum's VaporTalkStore.com. They have amazing flavors. Their Mentha is great and can be added to other flavors to give it a little coolness. I've used their Mentha, Dulcis, Midnight and Grape. All very good. I'm partial to the Mentha and Midnight.

Greetings Vape-O-Holics, I just had to report that you've done it (probably again)! After initially buying a Greensmoke before finding this site, I have just purchased and am anxiously looking forward to the delivery of my EGO! Thanks to the 30 day Money Back Guarantee, Greensmoke will be receiving their less than efficient product back in the mail which will return 1 1/2 times the money I paid for the amazing product I am thankfully about to receive. <yes, it's a bit of a prayer!!!~ This forum, Christopher, and ALL OF YOU rock!!! thank you, THANK you! THANK YOU!!!

Just ordered the joye eGo from pure smoker.com for 50 dollars, and had a few questions about what it comes with and what I should buy additionally. Basically these are the package contents : 2 x Joye eGo Batteries (Color Choices: Satin Black, Stainless Steel, Red, & Blue) 2 x Joye eGo Atomizer Cones (Matching the color choice you picked for you batteries) 2 x Joye Atomizers (Black Atomizer = Standard Resistance, Stainless Steel Atomizer = Low Resistance) 1 x Turbo USB Charger 1 x Wall Adapter for USB Charger 1 x Joye eGo Pouch 1 x Joye eGo Manual 1 x TONIC eLiquid Sample (Flavor & Strength Picked at random) So my question is this, it comes with two atomizers, are these the 2ml atomizers I saw in the good prophet kalojado youtube video review? Do these work essentially the same as the 2 ml cartomizers or do i have to refill these atomizers comstantly? Also from doing a little reading, it seems like i would be more suited to use cartomizers. Apparently with these you fill it up and it can last about a full day right? (I smoke a pack a day right now). I basically want to be able to fill this thing in the morning, and be good to go for the day without having to refill throughout the day and add drips of juice while I'm vamping. If one carto wasn't enough for a day, i could always fill 2 and just carry around an extra carto with me. I just ordered this kit last night and Am wondering if i should just order a 5 pack of the cartos right now too. Also I ordered 3 bottles of the TONIC brand juice at 6ml per bottle, from what I'm reading this will probably only last 9-10 days at 2ml per day using the carto method, so I'll probably go ahead and order some more juice along with the cartos because i certainly don't want to run out. Thanks for your help :] happy vaping.

For Nicotine, I like to buy a bottle of let's say 24mg and a bottle of 0mg of the same flavor. That way I don't lose any flavor when I dilute it. For PG/VG, I like to purchase mine at 80%pg/20vg. Pg has the flavor, VG has the vapor, so I like the mix. At first, I started out with a bottle of pg and a bottle of vg (both the same flavor, both the same nic strength) and experimented until I found the mix that most satisfied me. (need an extra empty bottle of course). I knew my nic strength from previously diluting my nic strengths as mentioned. Some folks like 50/50pg/vg some like 90/10... etc. Happy Vaping!

It does sound kind of confusing at first, but it will all become second nature after a while. And there is a kind of learning curve to all this. Most places have pre-filled carts in their kits and you pretty much get what they think you want. But some vendors offer different flavors with their kits or even blanks that you can fill yourself. Shop around and see what you can find. I think PureSmoker.com is having a sale on their Ego kits right now You might want to check. And I think Chris gives a free bottle of juice with his kits so don't pass up the VT store. What ever you decide on don't forget to get extra carts, or cartomizers, and a couple atty's. Not good to run out especially when just starting out. As far as menthol...I'm hooked on the VaporTalk Mentha. Really good strong menthol flavor(to me anyway) . You will find menthols at almost every vendor and you just need to try several till you find the one that's right for you in strength and mg's. But flavor is different for everybody so just because someone says this is great or this is bad...you really have to judge for yourself. Well good choice in both units and forums. If you have more questions we are all here to help. Good luck and happy vaping. p.s. where in S.C. are you?

The atomizers you are getting is one standard Joye atomizer and one LR atomizer. The standard atomizer when dripping, 2-3 drops, lasts about 6-7 draws. You will notice vapor drop off when it starts to run dry, this will indicate to add a few more drops. The LR will simulate vaping at a higher voltage. I do not have or used any LR atomizers. But from what I understand they will require more liquid than the standard atomizer. The LR's tend to run hotter. The cones are not only for aesthetics but they also will make the draw a bit tighter. It will reduce the air flow. You can use the Ego with or without the cone. A cartomizer will not last a whole day on one fill. At least I haven't been able to get it to last that long. It will depend on how much you vape. If you chain vape you will fill it a few times during the day. I never really kept track how much I fill a cartomizer. I switch between cartomizers and direct dripping all day. The carts that will come with your atomizers will not last as long as the cartomizers. You will find yourself topping off more using the standard carts. Carrying 2 cartomizers during the day is not a bad idea. It will let you change up flavors too. You can never have enough juice. Order away! Good luck!

Well it depends on how you look at things. Seems everything was working fine, until you plugged in the new PT. Now devices that once worked do not. So you are saying that the computer that was working fine just so happened to go bad when you plugged in the PT? Then you proceed to plug the same PT into other devices? Not the way I would of went about it. To me that would be the time to quickly remove it. Whether the PT was good or faulty doesn't really matter as far as your original computer, but I would guess that it did in fact jack up your computers USB.

I'm a stallion now.

While flipping through the new mail order catalog magazine (Heartland) that just arrived, enjoying the products listed such as solar lights, generators, boots, and so forth, the youngest suddenly sat straight up, pointed and exclaimed "Look at that eCig, Uma! That ones really pretty!!". ... it was a little brown and gold .... telescope! Needless to say I wondered for quite awhile if it could be modded.
