I have been using my volts for a few months now and absolutely love them, for such a little device, I enjoy it as much if not more than my ego and my 510's before that. Maybe it is that you need a new battery, I use the manual batteries, I have a couple autos but I just prefer the button. Let us know. Also their customer service is top notch, if you have a problem with anything, shoot them an email and they will make it right.

Just got 4 packages in the mail on the same day. Its like Christmas and I love presents, lol. Finally got my big kazoo, some ejuice, 6 14500 batteries, charger, Boba's Bounty, 1000 mah ego battery, and some flavoring. Well that puts me at over 500 bucks worth of ecig stuff in the past month lol. Im so addicted and I love it!!!

For those new to e-cigs you should first ask yourselves how much a day regular tobacco cigs do you smoke? Half pack? 1 pack? more?

There are myriad e-cigs on the market including the mini-ecig (the ones that look like real cigs), pen styles which are typically longer versions of the minis, mid sized battery versions like the eGo, T-rex, Leo, Lea, and any other in the 650mAh to 900mAh battery size, and then there are the much higher versions, or "fat batts" that range from 1000mAh to 1300mAh in size.

Typically a moderate to heavy smoker will use about 100mAh of battery life per hour. This is needed to be considered when thinking of purchasing batteries. The mini-ecigs are between 90mAh and 280mAh. This would mean that each of those batteries last between 1 hour and 3 hours before needing recharged (for a moderate to heavy user). Pen style batteries are typically 180mAh to 280mAh (some higher?), so these would last the longer part of 3 hours each. An eGo or Lea or Leo will last the average user about 6-10 hours, while a fat batt will last 12-16 hours. I'm a heavy vaper, and an 800mAh Leo lasts me about 10-12 hours, whereas a 1300mAh eGo knock off lasts about 16 hours.

E-cigs come in a variety of forms, such as the 2 part type that include a battery and a cartomizer. The cartomizer is a tube filled with tightly wrapped cotton that holds the liquid (e-juice). In the center there is another small tube with a wire. That wire acts as the heating element that when activated, flash vaporizes the liquid held in the cotton to produce vapor. Cartomizers (most) can be refilled fairly easily by popping the top off and dripping the liquid inside the cotton. Some cartomizers (certain brands) are one piece, and do not have that removable top. The down side to cartomizers is the small size and minimal liquids they hold. Thus you'll sometimes see (depending on what brand you buy) "mega-cartomizers" or "XXL", referring to a larger size holding more liquid. Lately there are even "Dual Coil Cartomizers", meaning there are two wires (with small coils in each) that act as heating elements, creating a good deal more vapor (and flavor). Another down side to cartomizers is burning tastes. This occurs when the cotton inside becomes too dry and yet you continue to use it. It eventually chars the cotton and that taste is near impossible to get rid of it.

The three part e-cigarette involves a battery, atomizer and a cartridge. The atomizer is typically cone or cylindrical in shape. The cartridge is a small mouth piece with a hollow tube of cotton (or foam) wadding which holds the liquid. The cartridge gets inserted directly into the atomizer so that the cotton just barely touches the atomizer. Activating the battery heats the atomizer and the 'bridge' which sits just over the actual atomizer. The bridge is really what touches the cotton from the cartridge, and its job is to heat up gently and wick the liquid down to the atomizer. Often, as the cotton inside the cartridge becomes dry and overheats it will shrink, resulting in less wicking action. This can, and often results in the atomizer not getting enough liquid and it, too, overheats and pops or dies. Atomizers can be expensive, but provide far more vapor than (most) cartomizers, and far more flavor from your liquids as well. It is said the larger the atomizer the better the taste. It is also said the higher the voltage the better the taste and vapor, but we'll get into that later.

Another more recent (this year) three part e-cig is the "tank" system. It involves a battery (of course), a "tank" atomizer and a "tank" cartridge. Now the typical tank atomizer is just like a regular atomizer, except that it incorporates a tube in the center rather than a bridge. This tube is designed to poke into a small hole in the bottom of the tank cartridge. In the tube is a small cotton or other fiber wick that helps wick the liquid to the atomizer below. The tank cartridge is simply a small mouthpiece with an attached tank to fill and hold the liquid. Tank atomizers provide a rich, thick vapor (most do), however for some reason the flavor is often diminished. Tank atomizers (early versions) often leaked as well. Depending on the manufacturer, most are unreliable, in my opinion, but still fun to try out. Tank atomizer/cartridges can be found for for any size/style e-cigarette now a day. At this point, being a new member, and a registering supplier, I don't think I can give my opinions on brands (at least not yet and not in this sub forum). You'll have to do your own research on these.

Lastly there are box units and mods. Well... maybe we should talk about these once you've tried the basics first. Mods can be expensive, and use a variety of batteries, from 3.0 v on up to 7v, from 400mAh on up to 3000mAh.

For now, I hope this information helps you take the next step: Reading reviews on brands BEFORE you purchase.

Stalking the mailman, now you are really one of us

I agree the juice part is really the most difficult to figure out. You never know what you are going to like and other people's opinions and likes of juice may not be your own. If you find a place that has sampler sizes, you can try some out and see if you like it. A lot of people like Boba's Bounty, it is a tobacco juice. You might be surprised to find that you like fruit flavors or coffee flavors or sweet ones in addition to the tobacco ones.

Try not to feel bad about spending 40 on your first pv. A lot of us spent a lot more on something we couldn't even keep as a backup. The important thing is it gets you going in the right direction. I personally don't clean out cartos, but I am sure someone will be along to answer your question, I toss them when they start to not taste so good or look burned on the inside.

A quick thanks to Bob over at Vaporsupplies.com ... since that is where I discovered this originally.

I just thought it was a pretty cool breakdown and description of everything cartomizer! Check it out...




Cartomizer, also named atomized cartridge, is a two-in-one device with a combined function of both atomizer and cartridge. That means with cartomizer, an e-cig reduces from three parts (battery, atomizer, cartridge) into two parts (battery and cartomizer). You do not need to use a cartridge to hold the e-juice, but only to refill the e-juice into the cartomizer.
Why to choose?
Compared with atomizers, cartomizer is:
*Two-in-one design, simpler and cleaner
*Rather cheaper in price
*Fairly larger in capacity
How to choose?

Sorry, no Iphone 5 for you..... You get 4s w/o 4g.



RIP Steve Jobs, you were a true captain of industry. No one will be able to fill your shoes.

Congrats! I cant wait to be able to say this myself.

What does one get for a one year anniversary? I was going to get a GGTS, but I could not hold out, I ordered it tonight!

It has now been a whole week since I've smoked an analog cigarette. Yay ecigs!!!!

Wake up! Wake up! Breakfast at Christophers!! I'll bring the blueberry muffins.

ok ok ok next time you guys come over, I'm making hot pockets and asking "who wants to try my wood" ha ha ha

ohhhhhh man...I need to grow up *Clears throat* Back to being serious professional admin

Despite the shorter lifespan and using more juice with LR attys, they are still what I use. I only use the regular ones at 5V now. The extra vapor I get from using LR is the difference between success and failure when it comes to vaping. For me at least. Before they came out with LR, I was perfectly happy with regular, but there is no way I could go back now. I know because I have tried. The only way for you to know what works best for you is to try them. Really, you need to try lots of different things to know exactly what works for you. In the end, that's all that matters.

Good luck!!

I don't belong to any other forums, so I may be just a bit biased, but I like this place. It's comfy. It's homey. It's safe. It's family. Chris has done a wonderful job putting it together, maintaining it, keeping the drama out, and keeping it a good place to be. He's picked the best of the best as admin's to help him out, too.

This is so sad and tragic. My sympathies to his friends and family.

The best advice I received in my thread was “vape through it!”

I didn’t think much of it at the time, but when the urge came, I just remembered to “vape through it!”

I remembered the wisdom. I did vape through it. And I didn’t smoke. You can do it too!

I really like juices from Ms. T's Bakery, they are a mix, more VG than PG and you can request any nic you want. Her peach juice is very good and I especially like the chocolate brownies. VT juices are also very good, they are PG though. I would suggest ordering small bottles or samplers if you can to see what you like, there are so many choices.

You probably should blow out the primer before putting in your own juice, it usually taste awful. Glad you are liking it. It's fabulous; isn't it?

Sorry you have had problems with Wordup. I have ordered many times from them with no problem. Any time I have had a problem with any vendor, after I contact them, they are more than helpful, like if I got sent wrong stuff or items were missing from my order.

Hopefully they will make this right. Don't let it discourage you too much, there are lots of good vendors out there. Before I ordered from someone new, I would check out reviews of them though, just to protect yourself. Good luck to you.

Regardless of who was at fault, there in my opinion is never a good reason to tell anyone to f off. I don't know of anyone in any company that would allow his employees to be talked to like that. There is a reason they say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. If you are rude to someone, it hardly makes them want to bend over backwards to make you happy....

never ordered from wordup but i may now just to show and review that there a good supplier , i work in a dealership, unfortuantly in the biz that the customers are allways right really SUCKs cause you will always get that 1 person that cannot accept they made a mistake or missunderstood something so they feel if they make the most noise they will be compensated... ****** d o u c h e is blocked

Awe... now those are some really sweet letters right there, how touching!
