Is there anywhere in NC to buy E-juice?

[Luv2CUSmile]

A few suppliers here are from NC- MyFreedomSmokes- Chris- but he is by mail order only- He prefers not to do the local thing... & then we have a supplier that usually is set up at the Raeigh Fairgrounds (I don't know where you are) Due to the fair, he won't be back in there until Nov 7th... check out the NCVapors... and he posts there at times, just not about his supplier status for board rules ya know... I know he has hardware... not sure about liquid...
Chris' is fast ordering and great prices! also if you order $50 or more of liquid you get a free 20ml bottle liquid any flavor ya like... He is listed under Supplier board...

Ha, Ha, I couldn't resist. In one sentence you summed up my life.

Great, thanks! I'm about 3 hrs from Raleigh. I'll check out Chris's site. I ordered from Liberty and Litecig for my first purchases. They're great but was wondering about in state options so I can get it asap. It would be cool if local smoke shops would carry supplies eventually.

Just caught your reply Victor...lol

I had my first drinking/hanging around analog smokers session last night and I did great w/ my 401. They all thought it was cool; same at band rehearsal today. As stated in my OP my original plan was to use the patch in tandem w/ 0mg...now my pre-filled nic carts are almost gone and I'm stuck w/ 0mg...will be putting in an order tonight to have ready to go out first thing tomorrow!

Congrats!

Locally I had the same problem, the carts were empty QUICK! Luckily there was a smoke shop that carried eJuice, but it was 35mg/ml. I was vaping an uncut 35mg/ml all day, every day, 10ml a week. Dizzy was I, for these 2 weeks, this is due to being an Ultra Light Smoker. I got my 901 after 2 weeks and started mixing my own eLiquid down to about 2-4mg/ml.

After about 2-2.5 weeks I start having a STRONG HEART BEAT. I vaped after talking to my Medical Assistant girl-friend at the recommendation of her boss the Cardiologist and all was fine... I was going too low, after doing the 35mg/ml for 2 weeks.

I then had breathing problems too so I went to the ER (no one ever answers the phone at my freekin' doctors office so I never know if he is on vacation). I was told all was fine after hours of wait, and some tests. I was told I was fine. I was apparently used to the 35mg/ml, and so this was withdrawals. The breathing issues were my lungs shedding the tar from not smoking for 2+ weeks time. I discovered this reading this forum AFTER the $75 ER copay, LOL!

I was going back and forth with mostly Smokes and little Vaping. I went to a show and see ytcracker live (at a bar with an outdoor smoking section) and since 2 days after this (7/28), I have been smoke free. I just said that this is money I could be spending on a house (I got an offer accepted and escrow starts Monday).

Johnson Creek Original Smoke Juice - The Best E-Liquid in the World - Made Right Here in America was my BEST friend while I waited for the PG, VG and 24mg eLiquid to arrive. I got 1) 11mg (chocolate) and 2) 0mg liquids (Tennessee cured, and Strawberry) to drop the nicotine down, and the stuff tastes AWESOME!

Google and you shall receive.

I did a lot of google searches and quotes are your friend for this site, and google works better than the search here:
"electronic cigarette" hard time breathing
"electronic cigarette" lung juice

Just my issues to list things that might happen, and some google tips because I had issues with eJuice, eLiquid, and Nicotine juice google search "word specifics".

I don't think I have ever felt better. Well this is not entirely true: I now have a fraction of the cost of analogs going toward my eSmokes... Soooo this is assuming that the Newcastle/Guinness wasn't flowing like the PBR and Natural light used to, because I can now afford the finer beers in life... LOL!

Just stopping by to say welcome to the forum Turbo.

Sounds like you've got a good strong start on things there.

the m401 was my first model too. Its the most cigarette-like one for shape look and feel that I have and its the one I took out with me when I was taking an e-cig out (now they all stay at home). It would stlll be my favorite except for the having to have a paperclip to poke the inner cartridges out and refill them so much. If it weren't for that I still think it might be the perfect e-cig for me

[treelvr]

Have a 3 day old 402 and it's just not wicking well... fill up the cart with ejuice and soon stop getting a good hit, go to refill and 3 drops completely tops it up. Then it works fine once topped up, but soon enough, need to add another 3 drops. Now, when I first got it the cart took 10+ drops easy to fill when it seemed to need it. So it seems to still have a good 7 drops remaining in the cart if it tops up with 3! Why would I need to add more juice to get a decent hit, with that much remaining?

[Turbo]

Thanks for the welcome guys. Yeah, 36mg seems pretty strong, I'm finding 16mg to be a bit weak but not by much. I really think I can hang with it. I think the key is gradual step down too. Seems like your story validates that 'the86D'.

Yes 'whistlrr', that's one downside. I plan to carry a bunch of carts w/ me this weekend to our gig and a contact lens case to dip when I can.

'Treelvr', being a newbie I could be wrong but have read that air bubbles can get trapped in the cart. Maybe try poking the filler w/ a paperclip? Either that or maybe the filling isn't making contact w/ the wick? I'm sure a more experienced user can chime in...
