Boge LR 510 Cartomizers

RelativeBewt — Sun, 19 May 2013 08:43:23 GMT

Very impressed with these cartos. ive been using them for a while now so i felt like spilling my guts on em lol. ive used them with different flavors and did side-by-sides with the boges and drip attys, the flavor is almost identical, also the throat hit. the only difference to me was the vapor production, slightly less than an atty. i think they are my goto cartos now.

My Love For Stardust Clearomizers

Scot Thomas — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:14:34 GMT

The Stardust or CE4 clearomizer.

When you're first starting out as a vaper, having an ego battery and a few of these disposable clearomizers will help give you the vaping experience you need. There are other options out there that do perform loads better, but for the price this is perfect for a start up.

They vape wonderfully on an ego battery, they're SUPER easy to fill and maintain. Once they go bad you huck it out the window and buy another one.

Sadly they're often looked down on by more advanced vapers. Which to me is strange, and I'll explain why.

I have two flavors I vape every single day. Which I absolutely love. But there's three others I like to take a couple pulls off of, like a coffee vape in the mornings, a melon vape for after meals, and a normal tobacco flavor for when stress has hit.

I don't want to dedicate a tank to these flavors as I routinely take six or seven pulls, then I'm done.

I keep all three of those flavors loaded in a stardust. The urge strikes I reach over grab it from my little carry case screw it down take my pulls then put it back in the case. At less than 5 dollars a pop these are a perfect alternative for me.

Now the stardust does have a few things that restrict them. They're made out of hard plastic which means tank killer juices, ie: cinnamon, citrus, and stuff like that will cause them to crack. They are disposable units which means they're not the greatest quality build. But with proper care they can last a good long time. Mine last me months on end, but I don't use them on a constant basis.

So when shopping for your vape supplies, consider throwing a couple of these in your cart for those flavors you like, but don't absolutely love.

talk more later.

how do i use a pro tank??? im such a NOOb :(

rockmissjess — Sat, 18 May 2013 03:19:00 GMT

So I wasn't aware of the cracking clearos... bought two wickless clearos worked great with strawnana and bangberry mist... but then I put in fire & ice... and the clearo fogged up and cracked from the bottom upwards.. I'm so disappointed.. I called the company I got em from since the clearly was only five days new.. and they explained to me flavors like cinnomin and spicy staff and limes and oranges will crack... I did not know this... I understood I would not get a replacement cause technically I broke it... so the guy I talked to suggested I get a pro glass tank... he gave me$4 store credit so including shipping total came to $13 for the pro tank so not bad.. but ive never used a pro tank... so I'm a little confusled on how to use it., I wish I wasn't such a NOOB to this stuff... :(

Provari

babyk1352012 — Sat, 18 May 2013 02:38:20 GMT

Well I caved, i finally ordered a provari, and about a week ago i ordered my 1st Reo. I'm on a roll. That will be it for quite awhile. I didn't purchase the extended warranty though since my funds were already tight to begin with. Is it really necessary?

Viper Vapor Los Angeles

RPadTV — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:22:30 GMT

Yesterday I dropped by the newest vape shop in Los Angeles -- Viper Vapor LA. It has a fun and relaxed vibe. The hardware choice are good, with more advanced mods and RBAs arriving in the near future. The juice selection could be better. Black Label Vape is the best vendor they have, but there's a big drop-off after that. For a store that's been up and running for a few weeks, Viper Vapor LA is off to a good start and I'm looking forward to seeing how the shop improves.

More details and photos here.

How much juice have u tossed

Tonight I'm feel pretty good that I managed to dilute and remix and ended up with 50ml that actually tastes good. :thumbs::vapor:

The only thing I've dumped was 10ml of a vendor juice that was just vile.

8% FLAVOUR ARTS "Cola"
3.5% FLAVOUR ARTS "Black Cherry"
3.5% TFA Cherry (the red colored one)

MM.....good...after u try it u owe me a good recipe.

NJoy King gets Plumes.91's Seal of Approval for GOOD Disposable? (at 1st it did. bummer!)

Plumes.91 — Fri, 17 May 2013 01:53:05 GMT

Just picked up two "packs" of NJoy Kings because I literally ran out of vapable juice almost 2 weeks ago now and had ZERO money to order any more. So, my mother bought me 2 packs of cigarettes -___- Ugh! So I went back to smoking, my only hope of getting back to vaping being waiting for an opportunity to make some money coming up. THANKFULLY I found 2 bottles of juice underneath my bed. 2 bottles of juice that I had deemed "unvapable" lol... Madvapes Candycane (BARF) and a 2 year old bottle of Altsmoke Vanilla that had "steeped" so much that it was literally black with a dark molasses hew when held up to a light bulb. I mixed them together. That got me through 2 days. Here I am today. I have about 1ml of that juice from hell left. I have 1 pack of cigarettes that I am trying my best not to smoke, and I have 2 NJOY KINGS!

These things are BEAST for what they are. I like the 45mg juice a lot. 3-4 drags and you actually get a nice calm wash over your body... Unlike 24mg, which just throws me into panic mode usually. It seems 45mg is enough nicotine to relax me. It doesn't just spin me out and have my heart beating extra heavily. The taste? I like it. The menthol is a dirty tobacco menthol. It really does taste like a newport or a kool, and, the taste lingers in your mouth, like a cigarette would. Neat. The tobacco flavored one impressed me on the 1st two drags, but since, it has become almost flavorless, with a tart aftertaste. Meh. I mean, I'm guessing I will enjoy it more when I actually vape it. But I am vaping the menthol one for now, because I'm really enjoying the authentic taste. Both tasted very similar to a real cigarette the 1st couple drags, but the menthol one is holding that up really nicely.

I'm about 20 puffs into the menthol one and its still going strong, thank god. I'm hoping it will last me all of tonight and hopefully into tomorrow a bit. I do not want to wind up smoking that 3rd pack of cigarettes. I'm HOPING my order from ECBlends actually SHIPS tomorrow (4 days after I placed it!) & hopefully the 7 dollar priority shipping will get it here monday, tuesday the latest. That is IF ECBlends actually SHIPS IT TOMORROW! lol... Sorry, must be feeling the nicotine. ;-) 45mg is such a beautiful throat hit, mmmmmMMm<3 These things are SATISFYING. Thats all I can say. I do have a bit of a crowning nic headache coming on now, but, that just means I need to lay off for a bit.

1st impressions of these little guys? I like them a lot. They even feel "close" to the real thing in your teeth.

Nice. Lets see how long these last.

EDIT: Well the 1st one died. Njoy touts that these are supposed to last 2 packs of cigarettes. REALLY Njoy? REALLY? It lasted me 2 hours. Last I checked, 2 packs of cigarettes lasts me from 10am Monday.. to 10am Wednesday. Not 7:30pm Thursday to 10pm Thursday. Wow. The battery in these lasts 2 to 3 hours. And I was trying to make it last. I wasn't chain vaping in the LEAST. At $7+ for ONE of these... All I can say is they are a huge waste of money. The flavor is ok, and the throat hit is great. The vapor production is good at the start, not so great 1 hour in, and then it trails off to nothing before it dies. Nothing new here. Nothing revolutionary. The Njoy king's battery life is worse than any cig-alike I've tried prior. (510 and 808d minis) Bat life is piss poor. I feel completely "DUPED" and i don't know why i expected more. The thing weighs less than an ounce. Probably has a bat in it smaller than a 10440. I would need what? 3, 4 of these to last me all day? I'm smoking a cigarette right now because I'm out of options. Thanks for selling one battery for 7 bucks and calling it 2 packs Njoy. Rip off artists.

Joye Laser Etched eGo Passthru

RelativeBewt — Fri, 17 May 2013 01:16:16 GMT

my first battery was the above mentioned. i used it all day every day until it met its demise. i tried to pull a drip tip off of a carto and pulled the threaded connection off the top, basically pulled the device into 2 seperate pieces. i loved it, id still vape it today if i hadnt done that. my only issue with it is that the thread connection is just press fitted into the casing. id recomend an eGo batt to anyone.

NJOY Kings

RelativeBewt — Fri, 17 May 2013 00:55:36 GMT

i got in a hard place, my batteries died for my mod and i needed something to hold me over. ive read alot about these and watched a few videos. i knew i DID NOT want a blu disposable from experience(wholly dissatisfied) so i went to one of my local walgreens stores to see what kind of stock they had(no local shops here) and i saw the NJOYs so i picked up a couple and ive been vaping them all day. the vapor production suprised the crap out of me! if i take a slightly longer, slow-ish draw i get a pretty decent cloud(nothing like my cartos or attys-but acceptable). throat hit is there, definately. the literature says they come in 2 nicotine strengths, Bold(4.5% nic by volume) and Gold(3.0% nic by volume). the golds have a noticable throat hit and the bolds have a strong throat hit. as to flavor, i got both in menthol bc i love this type of menthol flavor. i looooved the mystics menthol flavor, if i could find a juice that tastes like this itd be my go to vape. the flavor was good, i liked it.

i think i covered everything that was on my mind about them lol. thx for readin!

**UPDATE** one NJOY King lasted me a little less than 12 hours of normal vaping.

AvidVaper DCT

RelativeBewt — Thu, 16 May 2013 23:07:39 GMT

i recently purchased the 3ml avid vaper dct off their side for 11.99. idk what i can say about it lol, the tank doesnt leak. ive taken it apart and cleaned it several times and still no leakage. the carto that came with it im pretty sure is a smoktech dual coil. came pre-drilled, tiny little baby hole, so i slotted it with a dremel. excellent wicking. no issues. awesome vapor production.

overall very satisfied, ill prolly pick up a few more.
