A USB charger is pretty invaluable if you ask me, and they're cheap....

Oh, and I prefer carts in 510; much more handy....

Mist-Stix is very good and the price is $9.00 per 30 ml, and don't forget to use "ECF" coupon code:

Good luck with you new endeavor!

Here's a good rule of thumb regarding juice usage that I picked up from the forum.

2 drops= 1 analog
1ml= 1 pack of analogs
30ml=1 month supply for pack/day smoker

I would guesstimate you would go through about 4ml/day between the 2 of you.

The carts will have the fill in them which you will take out if you are direct dripping or use the blank that comes on your attys.

Good luck!

Health Cabin sells the exact same juice that many, many others sell... just cheaper. Juice will just end up being a personal preference for you after you get a chance to try different ones, but you've got a good start, and there's no need to rush.

Shinkun - personally I'd add about 50% to that...

Nice Order,you've got more stuff than I do and I went from 1.5 packs a day to 0 analogs overnight. I love my 510. Okay so an occasional cheat once in a while when boozing but other than that smooth sailing. Key is getting rid of all analogs, ashtrays, lighters, etc.. If they aren't an option you won't want one. My wife won't give em up so I'm always tempted but never jonesing for one.

You can get the filter material anywhere. Michaels, petstore, wallly world.. Unless you get fancy it's just polyester pillow stuffing or fish tank filter stuffing. The plastic cartridges themselves last for a long long time unless you start chewing them

I never have, It's more used to get a few big mouthfuls of vapor. I prefer long slow chain vaping instead. I can fill a cart and it can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on how hard I hit it.

With dripping, you're constantly at the jug of juice putting a couple of drops in the atty here and there. Depends on your use though. I prefer to pull the 510 out of my pocket and take a poke here and there without having to be dripping juice into it all the time. Just my preference of course...

Best of luck, the real key is getting flavors that you like and that are satisfying and unless you opted for premium shipping be prepared to wait a few weeks

I've been vaping for about 2 weeks now and just getting ready to start trying to refil my own cartridges, and came across a recommendation here for Johnson Creek www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com

I'm not sure about comparison with respect to pricing and flavor choices but I checked their site and liked:

Money Back Guarantee
Fast order processing (Same day or next day)
Made in the USA
Easily identified ingredents list

Most of this info is found on their FAQ

Of course I just ordered from them today and anybody can 'write it on the wall' (we'll see how they do), but I tend to feel better about a business that "puts it all out there", and one that prefers to specialize in one thing (juice, in this case).

More batteries! Especially with a 510. I have a feeling that you guys will be going through your fist battery before the second is charged. I was only a pack a day smoker and I keep at least 3 in rotation every day. I believe Health Cabin sells batteries in bulk, so you should pick up a bulk order. Trust me on this.

And 2 drops will not equal a cig for the 510. The thing is a juice hot. I would get anywhere from 5-8 drags off 2 drops directly to the atty. Using the Plug Pyramid Tea Bag mod (a.k.a. the Rho mod) and carts is the only way to use a 510, IMHO. I cannot for the life of me find the thread for the cartridge mod, though.
