Frequently Asked Questions

i don't want to threadjack or anything, but i figured it's a questions thread. this is my first e cig and i like it so far. the only question is on the exhale i feel almost like a burn in my throat...kinda like it just gets super dry. is it supposed to feel like that? am i doing it wrong or somethin? i've noticed that it's like that with the pre-filled cartomizers i got from nhaler.com and when i refill them it's not so bad. difference between the 16mg fluid pre-filled and the 12mg lung juice i refill it with? i've played with some techniques i suppose, but the ones i use for the 12mg don't work with the 16mg. any help is appreciated. thanks

Might be the higher nic content. Stick to the lower nic if it still satisfies you. That being said some flavors, even at the same nic content, burns my throat so much I can't vape them. But I think that might be something different from what you are describing.

I've found that drinking a lot of water helps lol. I'm guessing that the pre-filled liquid is full of PG and it's alcohol based which would absorb moisture n what not. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Drew's Lung Juice is VG based? I'm not sure, but now when I refill them I always get liquid in my mouth. Doesn't really taste the best if you ask me.

Lung Juice is VG-based (according to Nhaler website).

Also, if you're getting juice in your mouth, you could be overfilling (been there myself for sure!). Does the carto "gurgle" when you inhale after refilling? If so, over a paper towel (or the sink), you can blow sharply once through the mouth piece to clear excess juice, or you can try waiting awhile after refilling to let the juice soak into the filler material a little more. I always take a "practice" drag after refilling before a full-blown vape: if it gurgles I know I've gone past the limit or the juice hasn't soaked in yet. This is especially true for the VG-based juice I've been trying lately--seems thicker than PG and seems to need some time to soak in properly.

I tend to get the juice in my mouth when I pull hard instead of a softer slower pull.

Thanks for the help guys. I talked to Snarky about some tips and he too said I'm probably overfilling them or not letting them soak enough. He gave me some tips to help especially since I don't have a syringe to fill them up. I just fill all of the ones that I'm not using or spent at night and let them soak it after giving the slight blows through both ends. Seems to be working great. Again thanks for the help guys, I really like the supportive community of Vapers

Good thread for a sticky, I think.

Seeing as though I am too much of a nube to post my own thread, I thought this would be a good question for the FAQ:

Does anyone know of a replacement juice that approximates the pre-filled "555" KR-808 cartomizer taste? I am in love with that flavor, and unfortunately other 555's and tobaccos (Drew's juice, Tasty Vapor) are good but not the same. Thanks!

I'd bet my bottom dollar that they use generic Boge/Dekang juice.

Grab a small bottle and give it a try..all "555" is the nectar of the Gods anyways.

It wasn't my idea (or picture), but this is what I use to get the cap off and then the silicone ring out:



Just straighten the "handle" part a bit.

LOL I have been using these for pulling 510 carts apart to 86 the juice in the overflow trap. These work without modification for 510s, and VERY helpful for the cost (about free if you have some).
