    510 Flat Carts???

    FYI, just got some flat-tip carts from dietsmokes.com; I'm finding that I'm getting better performance out of them than with the regular circular-carts. Using the teabag-filler mod, FYI.

    510 starter kits

    If you're really anxious to get into vaping, I would recommend against healthcabin, only because they're in China, and shipping will more than likely take much longer than ordering from a US supplier. Most US suppliers will have your stuff at the door in 3 days. Healthcabin is otherwise a...

    Xplain this, please? (hits per drop)

    Oftentimes when you "set it down", it gives the juice time to wick to the atomizer, or even move to the top of the cartridge (where it'll be ready to wick). That would be my best explanation. I drip for the most part though; I find cartridges are a pain more often than not. Though I just...

    510 starter kits

    Cigtechs.com right now can't take payments, but once they can (within the next 24 hours probably), their PCC is only 19.99, USB passthrough only 23.99. Their starter kits aren't the lowest, but they do have free shipping as well. Also, start with a manual battery. Almost everyone agrees...

    510 starter kits

    Odd; most suppliers I've found all have starter kits that are 2 atty/2 battery. Also, I don't think I've seen any kit that includes a PCC (save for maybe one of the higher-priced ones from innovapor). I wouldn't go nuts trying to find a kit that includes a PCC. Just go with a 2 atty/2...

    New Member here!

    I can vouch for the 510 as well. Few things: Don't give up. Sometimes learning how to fully use these things can be difficult. You might think you got some bum product, when in reality it's user error. First thing to remember: They're not cigarettes. Don't treat them like they are...

    New & Overwhelmed

    Considering your mom has a 510, I can't help but recommend a 306 (which is auto battery). Both are made by Joye, and both have interchangeable parts; the batteries and atomizers work with each other (just not the cartridges). And if worse comes to worse, you can switch to a 510 and still have...

    If he isn't, he's certainly close. "It's just a ride."

    I think I decided on what to get

    I can vouch for the 510 as a good starter PV. Its heavy vapor and high throat hit simulate a real cigarette a little more than most other models. You can "drop" right onto the atomizer bridge (protip: no more than 2-3 drops or you'll flood the atomizer) instead of fumbling with cartridges...

    To Drip or Not To Drip that is the question

    Check the thread I linked to; there's pictures that show the difference. Also, the "new" atomizer has a slightly larger casing, which makes the normal cartridges seem a little loose-fitting. An exposed atomizer is one where the wick/bridge is actually out in the open. Dipping is, instead of...

    question about 510 atomizers

    As far as I know, there's only two 510 atomizers around, as far as technical specifications go. There's tons of styles, but only two models. There's the typical 510 model that pretty much everyone sells. Then there's the "new" model that some suppliers (I know innovapor.com is one, not sure...

    To Drip or Not To Drip that is the question

    Dripping is convenient when it's convenient. Okay, that's a confusing statement. Let me elaborate. It's convenient to drip when you're at your desk at work, or on the couch at home. Why mess with the cartridges when all your stuff's right there? However, what if you're on a long drive...

    What do you think of Johnson Creek juice

    I ordered the Reduced PG, Low Nic (11mg) French Vanilla and Espresso flavors. I use a 510, both carts and dripping. Order took 10 days to get to me. From what I've read, this is typical of their service, largely because they don't make anything until it's ordered. It's not a big deal as...

    This is not good (my two cents)

    There's merit to all approaches in social situations. However, there's nothing to be gained by coming off as a jerk or a bully. Thus far I've had great experiences in public. My personal preference is to ask the managers of whatever establishment I'm at if it's okay to use (assuming the...

    10 days in now...trying another model?

    Thanks for the tip. However, I'm not excited to use an automatic battery, as a couple coworkers with autos don't really sing any praises about them. Also, I mainly want to try a 306 atty because of easier dripping/dipping; a manual battery also has the bonus of being resistant to liquid...

    what should i get?

    As I'm still in the learning process, the best I can say is to read these forums. There's tons of helpful people and a veritable treasure trove of information waiting to be read. The first few days can and will be frustrating, as using an electronic cigarette is not the same as a normal...

    Got My Johnson Smoke Juice Today....

    Day after getting it, Vanilla is still great. Finally tried the espresso. I can see why people say "everything tastes like vanilla;" I can certainly detect the vanilla flavor (and I'm using the espresso on a fresh atomizer, so not it's not remnants from the actual vanilla juice). Still good...

    Hello!

    Parked at dietsmokes.com is first class. No worries. In addition, I just got some white ties, and they're genuine.

    My boss basically TOLD ME I can smoke it at my cubicle

    You know; that's a whole new interesting conversation in and of itself. How will insurance companies look at vaping? Will it count as smoking? It obviously doesn't to you and I, but will the continued use of nicotine help rationalize a decision on their part to consider it "smoking?" I can...

    One problem I've found with vaping

    Those. Are some crazy flavors. Though I must say, the Tiramisu flavor has me intrigued.
