    Default Very new to all this.

    Hi, I am very happy that this is making quitting a lot easier, no real cigs for a week. My question is does anyone know what type of e cig you get with the starter kit (20.00) from VaporUltra.com? I bought one from there but I am unsure of what cartomizers I can buy for it. I thought they were somewhat the same but the more I read the more confused I get. Thank you in advance if someone can answer.

    It's hard to tell. It could be a 510 but a lot of the small companies sell proprietary devices so you have to buy their cartos.

    If you want a mini, you may want to consider switching to a more reputable brand that uses cartos that ca be purchased anywhere and refilled. Smokeless image sells a nice mini and uses 808 cartos. They can be refilled several times and are fairly inexpensive. There is even a 15% off coupon

    From the picture they display, it sure looks like a 510 carto connection to me, which could be a very good thing. Do you have a vape shop nearby? If so, swing by and they will be thrilled to help you out. Guaranteed. A second suggestion would be to upgrade to a more mainstream device like an eGo, or an eGo Twist to start.

    Welcome and congrats on converting over from smoking.
    20 dollars for a start-up kit is very reasonable but they really make
    their money off of the cartomizers.

    If you could meet-up with other vapers or find a brick and mortar store
    you'll be able to see what fits those small batteries without dropping
    any cash.

    Refilling blank cartomizers with juice you purchase in bottle for is much
    less expensive.

    You may also be able to refill the empty cartos you now have with bottled
    juice of any of hundreds of flavours available.

    Trying different flavours has kept me off smoking as tobacco sort of tastes
    all the same to me. Vanilla is my ADV now and I make it myself for pennies.
    I'm guessing but it probably costs me maybe .50 cents a day or less making
    it myself.

    Enjoy the journey koldham

    Can always email them. But a safe bet is it will have 510 threading. Most ones do.

    Thank you everyone, I am trying to get by for a month or so... I first bought a mistic from walmart.. it has a very good battery that will last me during working hours and this other one is for when I am charging the mistic. I know there are much better out there if one has the money but for now I just have to make do. Maybe I will find a 510 to try, or like someone said email them.. I do plan on upgrading but just not right away. Thanks again for responding and for all the other info on this site.

    Looks like a 510 so you can drip eliquid onto the atty and is easiest with a drip tip. That is the cheapest way to go for you. Are you in western wa? If you are near me, I can look at it and set you up with some supplies (free of course).

    I am in western wa, Port Orchard, there are a limited number of places here that I can get supplies, so I will be doing most online. Thanks.

    510 thread is the most widely used here on ECF, with KR808 being second. Cartomizers and cartomizer tanks are also widely used with most of the ecigs here.

    Battery capacity, expressed as MAH ( milli amp hours), is the key to charge life. The higher the better. The lowest starting point that will reliably get you through a work day is around 1000mah, but lots of people use eGo and Riva batteries that are 650mah to 750mah. You just carry an extra battery in your car. You can also charge batteries using a USB convenience outlet adapter with the charger pigtail plugged in.

    If you like KR808 threads, the Volt is a good choice. For 510 threads, the eGo and Riva are solid picks. You can also buy the eGo Twist battery. It gives you variable voltage from 2.9v to 4.2v using a twist knob at the bottom of the battery to adjust the vape voltage to your liking.

    Boge and Smoktech cartos are favorites here.
    Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected?
    Provari and eGo ... my favorite vapes.
