"sweet greasy Jesus"
So, hi, I'm Francesca.

OMG !! That's just TOO Funny I don't think I have ever heard that saying ...
my 17 yr old & friends & I are all still laughing about that one ! Thanks for the giggles !!

HI Francesca and Welcome and Congrats on your vaping decision !!

Hope you LOVE your Volts & Yes I do believe that their auto's are upgraded compared to other 808's to combat leaking issues ....just get in the habit of ONLY filling your carto's,while OFF battery & ALWAYS ALWAYS wipe off your connections B-4 putting carto back on battery ....& you should be fine !

I've got a tendency to say weird things, haha; glad ya liked that phrase, though, my family hates it but they're pretty Catholic xD
17 year olds love me, for some reason. On that note, I drew me and my 17-year-old friend being creepy just a few hours ago. Hurrhurr.


I'm paranoid and obsessive compulsive so there's really no way I'd ever consider filling a carto while attached to the battery. I understand laziness but yeesh, that just sounds like an awful idea even to someone who has no vaping experience.

Hmm, I may have to invest in a manual battery, then... Definitely will if I have any issues with the ones I ordered. I think Smokeless Image has done quite a bit of updates on their products, recently, though...

Welcome, Brittlebrittlemoon!

The Volt auto batteries are now sealed (though should still take care not to get liquid on them), and I believe SI was the first company to introduce the sealed autos. The manuals are nice as well, I have both.

The mega v2 pcc is a good one. Can get about 4 charges of a 65mm battery out of one before recharging the case. About 3 for the 78mm batteries. The lid seems flimsy, but I've been packing mine about for a while now without any problems.

I started using the Volt batteries when SI was recommended to me by someone when I whined that I really wanted a nice red battery. I have that nice red battery now, 65mm, 78mm, auto and manual. I also have all the colors, now. And, a couple (or so) of the X2's. Damn, they're coming out with colors in the X2's, now, too...

I like the bling, I have lots of colored end caps and diamond caps. Recently purchased some stealth caps (theatre vaping).

I like my Volts and Volt X2's, I don't foresee myself jumping to bigger and fancier in the near future.

My new favorite picture (of my "portable" setup - it is by no means all inclusive):




yes, I'm a hoarder of bling


By the way, if you made your Volt purchase on Saturday, June 30, I think you should call SI customer support and see if you can't change that coupon code from the affiliate code to the one day only code of HAPPYBIRTHDAYIMAGINE - for an additional 14% off... not guaranteed they will do it, but hey.

something tells me you will be a great vapor & a great addition to ECF !

Oh sodomizing Satan, that bling hoard is beautiful. It's really nice to see their battery colors besides just in the shir pictures on their site. I'm really diggin' the blues and that gold, ah. I do like them to look more cig-like but colors are just so nice... I wish they had different cart colors/readily offered mre than just black cartos. I'd have a sky blue battery/orange cart e-cig like that.

And thank ya c: That drawing isn't too impressive though, I did it in 20 minutes on a plane. And yet, the combined power of our 16 chins is so majestic in that doodle...

Welcome, Francesca! Oh man, that was an epic first post. I'm really excited for you, as four months ago I was waiting for my first e-cig to arrive. My wife and I both made the switch using the same SI Volt started kits. You got the best cigarette lookalikes on the market, in my opinion. You have barely begun your journey, and you are off to a great start.

I love your drawing, and am excited to see what you think of your kit!

And to calling customer support, I am not a fan of confrontation though I did technically order it on the 30th. I'd probably go for it if my phone speakers weren't broken xD Maybe I'll email them...

Get the stainless steel cartos, then... they have carto wraps...

This isn't confrontation. SI is well known for their extremely good - and accommodating - customer service.

Oh, the flash on my camera really brightened up the purple (looks like their raspberry in the picture), the darker blue which really is more the color of the shadow on it, and the gold which is actually their copper (looks antique gold to me).

[Brittlebrittlemoon]

Wooh! Thankya thankya! I get really off topic/distracted so it became an epic tale of madness instead of a normal post. Which I probably couldn't create even if I tried. Wateva wateva i do wat i wawnt.

I'm further excited, now! I wish I could get my manperson to switch, too, but he's tried a friend's e-cig before and it just made him sick. Despite his smoking a pack and a half a day also destroying his health. Maybe I can convince him to try my Voltbaby, hm hm hmmm. Any suggestions in the convincing department that don't involve me nakedly sticking an e-cig between my legs? Because that is the only place my mind is going with this.
