Chargeing Your Ecig From You Gameing Console?
SteveD1 replied to Horne4291's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Just a FYI on occasion some people myself included have blown the usb port with E-Cig gear.My keyboard on PC lost a port because it wasnt usb 2.0 and I plugged a 5V Pass thru into it and it blew right away.Another Passthru I cant use in the car because it blows fuses and its a 10amp fuse go figure!!!! -
Congratulations on your 1 year.I passed that mark in august this year and havnt looked back.I dont come around as much as I used to but try to keep up with new stuff to try.This forum has been a life saver for me too.Best of luck to you!!!

How Long Did It Take You To Completely Switch?
SteveD1 replied to mrar's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I went to sleep with 6 cigs left and started E-Cigs the next day and tossed all six of the analogs 2 days later!!!Never looked back and I smoked for 22 years!! Good luck to you! -
Was pretty much the same for me they ran it through twice and looked at the sceen for a good minute then said is that electronic ciggarette stuff and I told him exectly what was in my bag and he said okay and handed it to me and said thankyou have a good trip!!!

I had no issues with leaving New Orleans airport to Orlando but did get questioned with my stuff on the way back but they just wanted to know what it was.I packed it with my electronics in my carry on and the rest in checked.I even vaped at the terminal at a bar and grill while waiting to come home until it got crowded with game watchers.I heard some comments so I put it away until I could get into a less crowded area. On my trip I saw my first person vaping in public at universal studios Orlando and I have been doing this for over a year..Where are you guys LOL....

if mine overfill I shake/sling the excess out in the trash can or outside on the ground the excess will sling out then it is fine.Just be carefull with it.You can do it with battery side or take the mouthpiece out and sling it from the top upside down....The packing will hold the rest and it wont be flooded anymore..

Low Resistance Cartomizers And The Ego
SteveD1 replied to bobthesalesclerk's topic in General Vaping Discussion
What device are you using at 4.5 volts?? I like the 510 stock cartos I get at VK and they work good with my KR manual batts and a adapter.They dont impress me on my EGO which I think is crazy since its twice the mah battery and should kick butt...My VK batteries from V4L just put out more vapor with a 510 carto than a KR stock carto.If the same 510 carto manufacturer would make a KR thread same design carto I could drop the adapter all toghether!!! Hint Hint.... -
Ego Cartomizers That Hold 2.5Ml Juice
SteveD1 replied to AimeeG's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I use a thumb tack the long plastic handle ones to remove both mouthpiece inserts and yes the inner one is harder but pull up and too the side to get it out.I punch the center hole with a small nail and hammer carefully to just get through.As far as filling it take plunger out of syringe and put needle in hole for filling and push in until its touching the packing and then fill to 2.2 or so and very carefully put plunger in slightly and the air pressure will push the liquid in very slowly and push some more to finish it off.Mine always leak some through the bottom cover even when its on and I refill with 1.2ml only seems to flood/leak if I put more in on refills..takes me about 5 minutes to do a new one and just a couple to refill again. IF anyone is a inventor a device you could thread onto the bottom of a cartomizer then push enough juice in to fill and take excess back out would be the **** and no mess...The closest thing we have now is the condom method on KR cartos but is messy too!!! -
I got mine from wordup and some mega cartomizers too with filler syringe!!!

Way to go and I am still here for the same reasons you stated.I just celebrated 1 year smoke free after 21 years of smoking.This forum has been a great help with my learning curve and the unbiased opinions help with my choices...I dont know if I would have made it without the help and advice I got here.. Congrats and best wishes Steve D

No a extension is not necessary but it is shorter and if you have a tight draw dont use the cone.I bent one open some more and it works fine just have to use care not get to the cone while taking a draw. Have you seen the Ego mega cartomizers that you fill with 2.2 mls and last all of or most of the day.These work pretty well but are trickier to fill.I got mine from Wordup ecigs and it came with a syringe to fill it with.these cost $3-4 a carto blank but most of mine last 5-8 days.These are NOT the mega atomizer and cartridge that is also available that is similar.Good info on all these EGO/Tornado carts is available at Totaly wicked's web site.

I noticed an immmediate improvement in health and energy levels after the first few weeks.I dont know about running miles but there were no negatives to quiting for me.

Finding the stuff you like and getting enough to get by gets pricey at first now I use up $10 worth of juice a week and 2-4 cartos at $2 a piece and I get new batts every couple of months so as long as I dont spend $200 a month I am ahead!!! I usually spend less than half and with my stock getting high sometimes order nothing in a calender month!!! I order big orders and use discount codes to save more so I can take advantage of sales..It took me 5-6 months of trial and error to find my Favs and the best deals on those...It was worth it and if I have a light budget one month I get a new thing to try here and there...

I just posted and realized looking at my banner that today is my 1 Year Anniversery Analog free.This Forum has helped me tremendously with info and tips..Thanks and Good luck to all......

After having used them longer they are starting to grow on me as a long life carto...The refilling is still my biggest gripe but I only refilled twice a day all weekend and have used the same one for 5+ days and put about 12ml through it.I put 1.2ml in it when I taste a slight burned taste and I dont get the leakage I was getting before..I dont see getting but half of the stated capacity before it needs refilling but only twice a day is much better than dripping regularly to top up KR and 510 carts and you cant beat the battery life of a Ego I get 6-9 hours and sometimes 12 when I am busier...I am not tasting the plastic taste but I use Camel and Menthol flavors and they are strong flavors and may cover up what others say they taste.... Now I would like to see a Low Res version and easily refilled!!!!!

If they made these with a removable top that unscrewed or snapped on it would be easier to get to the large chamber the packing is in,I have used the syringe method and find its easy to overfill, I will have to try to dripping in it and see how that works.I still find other types of cartos put out more vapor so far but I have only used two of the Ego mega Cartos.I got mine from Wordup with a syringe in a kit of 5.

having to go outside to smoke LOL!!!!!!!!!

How Long Do You Use Your Cartomizers For?
SteveD1 replied to Christopher's topic in General Vaping Discussion
I use KR or 510 cartos for about 3-7 days.When the vapor drops off is when I toss them..I tried a tornado/ego mega carto and it lasted about 6 days but was the messier one to refill... A little tip i get better vapor on 510 cartos with KR batts and a 901 to 510 adapter go figure!!! I have always noticed the KR batts worked better, even better than my joye ego with a adapter for KR cartos or 510 cartos on it.. I just need a mega KR ego now and I will be set!!!! One thing I dont understand is with a adapter I can get a KR to 510 carto to work but not a 510 Atty!!!Whats up with that???? -
Just got some of these in and found them hard to fill.they hold about 2-2.4 ml on first fill and for some reason only about 1-1.4 on refills.You must use a syringe to fill and mine leak if I overfill.There is no way to tell when its full or if you are filling to fast..I have put about 5ml through one and its still working fine.My only complaint is the mess..When using the flavor and vapor drop or its tastes slightly burnt you know its time to refill.I just cant see pulling out a syringe and going after it away from home...If you could unscrew the top and get right to the juice chamber it would be great!!But thats not the case.The flavor is great on these so thats a plus.Prefilled ones might be available somewhere just havnt found them yet.I do get about 4-6hrs use before it needs a top off.I would have to keep 2-3 on hand to make a day without refilling.. This was the first one I have tried out of the pack so more time will tell if I will get more or stick to KR/510 cartomizers instead..

I tried the 510 cartos on standard 510 batts(150mah) and they were weak.Then put them on KR batts(280mah) with a adapter and they last alot longer than KR carts and have similar vapor.The higher power batts work much better with the 510 cartos i need a Ego or something to try a really high Mah battery to see the difference. My KR cartos the standard ones are not as good as the premium ones for overall performance and I have some new higher capacity ones havent tried yet. I got my 510 cartos from Vapor Kings the hard body with rubber caps. I get all my KR/stuff cartos and all my E-liquid from V4L.Their Juice is $12.50 for 30ml. I also have their 5volt pass thru and the KR cartos come alive with this thing. Soon I am going to get a Ego kit and try this out with everything. I think with DDave's tip I may try to use one carto to much and need two to three in service at a time.I top mine off when I can as I go by dripping into the battery end 3-5 drops and clean the center post before putting back toghether.Or filling through the top cap if it gets too low.

They offer lots of coupon code discounts from anywhere from 10-20%, that pretty much covers shipping for most of my orders..

Who Vapes With The Windows Down?
SteveD1 replied to Christopher's topic in General Vaping Discussion
When other people are in the car, some seem to be Phobic like its really gonna irritate them like smoke..They still cant believe its harmless!!!!! -
I haved used V4l and Vapor Kings as my suppliers for KR stuff and have been satisfied with both.I had some issues with batteries at first from one supplier but they took care of it in a timely fashion. If you cant get the cartomizers in a flavor/strengh you want buy the premium blanks and fill them yourself as needed.The new 510 cartos from VK work good too and hold 50% more per fill. I have been much happier with Vapor production on the premium KR cartos and the high capacity 510 cartos...

Alright got my order of them in friday and promptly left on a road trip.I like the 510 cartomizers.Mine hold about 30 drops dry thats about 1ml.I got mine from Vapor Kings.I have refilled the same one maybe 5-6 times and its still fine.It works okay with the short 510 batteries when they are fresh.I got a adapter from Vapor kings and used it with 280 mah batteries for my KR model.Seems to work better with the higher mah batteries for me.I did use my KR 5volt pass thru with it some and it puts out great vapor but i dont want to burn it.Flavor is good with the Camel I have from V4L.Draw on the 510 carto is smooth and easy almost too easy on my auto KR batts.They are bigger than KR cartos and dont fit in the cases etc.Three will fit in a standard 510 PCC with no condom covers on them.
