Do yourself a HUGE favor, along with anybody that is thinking about answering your questions

Look at Spikey's video and look at as many of them as you can Reading an answer, will not give you the sense of what it is about
But the most important thing, do not be afraid of this stuff, it will not kill you, ( or atleast we don't think it will) or better said, nobody has died yet, that we know of. Although I dont remember hearing from Trog in a while!! HUH watch the video's

Nineguns and Letzin, one tiny correction with regard to question 5:

The cart material actually must touch the mesh bridge of the atomizer; that is how the liquid gets wicked down into the atomizer coil.

If you have the material scrunched too far inside the plastic of the cart so that it doesn't touch the mesh of the atomizer, you will soon see no vapor. So the filler material should always be right to the very edge of the cart, so that it does touch the mesh.

I actually did not know that. I was doing the opposite - pushing the material down because I thought a nasty burning taste I was getting was the material overheating. Thanks.

If we knew what kind of e-cig you have i'm sure people with that style would come up

Spikey did an AWESOME job whipping this vid up - it answers so many questions newbies have...

A lot of this stuff will make a lot more sense once you have a unit in your hands, believe me, I lurked for about 2 weeks before I jumped on the bandwagon and bought my 901.....once it came, clarity happened....so much of what I'd been reading MADE SENSE.

Don't panic-the PV will become your friend real soon....

So long as you keep it moist, you'll be fine. The nasty taste is a sign you have waited too long to top off your cart.
