Rip Topaz

Also, can someone explain the eGo? From what I can see it looks like 3 parts. Am I correct? Still learning, and the PV I bought seems to be a very simple beginner type. Teach me!!!

Thanks for the subtle hints. Since I already bought the Encore, and thanks to everyone who pointed out that it is indeed a rebranded kr801, I don't have to worry about the wait involved with ordering online. Where do you guys order from? There's so many sites out there, I don't want to pick the wrong one and get ripped off. The Encore is compatible with the kr801 and the cig2o brands, so I definitely have more choices, but I'm really finding myself interested in the box type Pv's.

Well, this morning I almost caved and smoked, but I fought it and managed to go another day without a cigarette!! These things actually work. Now if I can find a battery that'll last longer than 20 minutes....

It does look like the kr808. Like almost exact. Maybe I'll order a few blank cartos just to see if the threads line up. I'm vaping menthol, so cleaning that out of the cartos I already have is probably gonna leave some nasty leftovers in the carto. What do you guys use to clean em out when changing flavors?

The biggest problem is going to be finding empty cartos with the proper threading to fit the battery. If I can do that, I'm gold. Otherwise, I'll be building my own PV since the individual parts are available online. Just a bit bummed to have spent $40 on something I'll be replacing eventually anyway. Kinda wish I'd have waited and researched a bit more before switching from analogs.

Anyone that has any experience with the Encore(www.encorevapor.com), where can I find compatible cartomizers? Encore has a VERY limited selection of flavors and doesn't sell blank cartomizers. I'm hoping I have other options than buying a different ecig, since I just spent $40 on this one. Eventually I'll probably go the route of piecing together my own ecig, but until I get the balls to do that, if anyone has any experience with these cartomizers, either taking them apart and cleaning them, or knows of a compatible brand (with matching threads), that would be a huge help. These cartomizers look kinda cheap, and I'm not too sure they would survive being taken apart to clean.

The cartomizers for this particular one are prefilled, and I don't imagine I'll be experimenting with refilling for at least a few weeks, until I get used to the change. I think I've got it figured out now. Seems to be working alot better.

One thing I've noticed is the coughing. When I directly inhale from the ecig, I don't cough, but when I inhale like a traditional cig, I cough like crazy. Hope that gets better. Part of the reason may be that I've been fighting a cold for the last few weeks, so this might not be the best time to try vaping.

Thanks for the tip. I was hoping to hear that I could refill them. You're right, it's definitely not like smoking an analog cigarette.

Well, I have already learned about refilling, but unfortunately I had to go with what was readily available. I've seen some YouTube vids of people refilling the non-refillable types, so hopefully I get lucky. I'm liking the Encore, but I'm also already seeing it's limitations. Still, not a bad starter.

I picked up my first PV this morning, an Encore starter kit. Not much available locally, so I searched until I found this one, which seems to be the best available without an online order. So far so good. Put my analogs in the freezer for safekeeping. Over this past weekend, I tried a disposable ecig, which was crap, but it was enough to show me what to expect. I gotta say, I was wrong. The Encore is SO much better than the throwaway garbage I bought to try. Any tips are appreciated as I start this adventure, and hopefully finally break an almost 30 year habit. Thanks for listening to me ramble.
