I'm sure you'll like the VaporKing device itself. I hope the low cartridge strength cut's it for you though. It's been 12 days for me since I've had an analog and I'm feeling great. But I use the 36er's. I never considered anything lower and my flavor options on carts are limited to only what is available in the 36'ers. I smoked two packs a day and in the end I was ordering Winstons from the Ukraine because they cost $1.33 a pack, were much stronger than domestic Winstons and didn't have the crap they spray on them to make them "fire safe". Because of all that, I'm probably not the best person to give advice to an ultra light smoker. I just hope that what you do order is strong enough to overcome your analog desires.

Good luck and Cheers!

I'd love to go home, if immigration would hurry up! I do hear my own accent sometimes, especially words like can't, I feel like a retard if I try to say the A they was they do here. But I did have to change the way I said R so people could understand a bit better. I'm not sure why but males back home, like my brother, sound extremely whiney lol

On your order, don't avoid the bottled stuff, it really is a money saver. If you want extremely easy just drip a couple drops in the battery end (without the battery on) and let it suck it up, roll it in your hand, wipe any excess juice off. Screw on and vape away. On a near empty cart that is.

OK, gonna get a 24, an 11, and .. another 11. problem is I wanted to try 3 flavours and It'd be easier to compare nic levels if it was the same flavour.
Steve should get a 'strength sampler' pack that has 3 grades or something of the same flavour :P
Anyhows, I'm get a spread for now and see if i can tell.

Mostly, though, I think I'm addicted to smoking. I love smoking. I just hate the way it makes me smell, and the unhealthy factor. I know I've got a nic addiction but I don't think that's the standout factor for me. I've tried quitting a few times, succeeded a couple, and the big problem for me was simply wanting to smoke, the nicotine withdrawals I could cope with.
I'll also grab a bottle of... something.

My plan (assuming this first part works) is to later see about 'weaning' myself off the nicotine part by getting a couple of bottles of whatever I like, one low mg, one 0 mg, and mixing in more and more of the 0 on refills. But that's me counting my chickens before I've sucked their eggs. Talk about twisting a metaphor.

And yeah, I hear some words I say - like "can't" and stuff, and often have to repeat myself, but There's a lot of times I hear the American accent in my words also.

Just put in the comments section when you place your order the cartomizers you would like to have for your 5 free ones. That should do it. Or send Steve an email. Glad you are getting some 24. That should help you get off analogs...we are all trying to and get healthy again. BTW the Hilton I have is 24mg...and it's some good stuff..IMO.

DaShiVa · 10-01-2009, 09:53 PM

Well, in the end the only hilton available was an 8mg, based off the advice on mg I switched it to marlboro or something at 24, order is in now, with any luck it'll arrive monday.
I was thinking about posting updates on my experience here, but there's already a half a dozen other people doing that, so unless I have an unusual experience I'll not clog the forums with it :P
On the other hand, it might finally give me a reason to get my blog going. Funny thing is, despite the amount of rambling I do on forum posts I really cant get motivated to even start a blog :P

~Gazoo~ · 10-01-2009, 10:01 PM

Yeah..I hear ya about the blogs....I don't have any either but I am a forum rambler. Please post your experience when you receive it and have tried it out. All of us enjoy reading everyone's experience...I will be looking forward to yours..

It looks like they have black manual batteries in stock. If you contact them you may be able to exchange one of the autos for a black manual. You may like the manual too. Seems a lot of people do. Enjoy your VK. I'm sure you'll enjoy the excellent V4L service.

Well, in teh notes I stated both that I'd prefer everything in black if available, and asked if it was possible to switch a manual for one of the automatics, so I'm hoping, but I'll be satisfied with the order as placed, so it's no big deal.

To be perfectly honest I don't like the look of even the black bats from what I've seen as they have the VK or V4L or something etched in them, but I understand the advertising aspect of it. I also don't think I like the light on the end, but If I have a real problem I'll grab some matte black and paint the whole thing over. But that's all cosmetics.

I agree with the other posters here ,at least throw in a small bottle or so of higher nic to try. your smoking habit was just like mine & I ordered the same kit with 16 mg it has worked great (16 days 100% cigarette free). The Vapor King is awesome you will be very
pleased.
Good Luck on your journey

DaShiVa · 10-05-2009, 06:54 PM

Well, my package arrived, and they managed to get me a blue carrying case instead of silver, which isn't black, but is closer I guess :P Both the batteries are black though, which is nice. Got an extra bottle of nic juice and a few interesting flavours thrown in on top too to try out, which is nice

Anyhows, I'm assuming the batteries don't come charged, so put one on the wall charger, and the other in the pcc and plugged them both in - The manual that came didn't say anything I could find about the pcc, and stated 8 hours initial charge for the wall charger, so I may not be able to try them out till tomorrow, when I get back to work, although at lunch break I may try the passthrough at my desk, but I suspect that'd be frowned upon by the bosses.
Craving a smoke right now, and until i test this out still unsure how successful a substitution the VK is going to be.

Anyhows, I also made one of those dynamic time since quit sig generator, with V4L in it, which if it turns out to be OK I'll post a thread on later.

For those who skipped to the bottom, my questions are:

1)How long do I really have to wall charge a new batt for before I can use it?
2) As above, but for the PCC.
