    OK, about to try and clean my 1rst batch of cartos, advice?

    You're not at all worried about the possible affects of using rubbing alcohol? I would seek an alternative like pure grain alcohol as a safe cleaning solution. My attempts to clean 808 cartos have been mildly successful. Also used the 'baking' technique at 170 F for a couple of hours. They...

    Please help.

    Hi Newsmok, Not surprising that most of the replies come with a recommended vaping alternative to tobacco. This forum is not a 'quit smoking' group, per se. It is a forum of people who have switched their nicotine delivery system. Most are still getting nicotine, but from a more pure form...

    First Order Arrived Today!

    @ Zenfrogs - Thanks for the explanation on the Riva v eGo. That clears it up. My primary concern with the 510 was the shorter batt life. But I do realize it is very popular and presume the appeal of the 510 is due to better flavor generated at lower voltage. The low voltage combined with a LR...

    Phd in Vapology?

    Hi breakthu, Thanks. Correct. Yes. Yes. Using the new USB charger, the light first turned red then shortly to green. During the transition to solid green, it switched from red to green a few times. The end light on the batt never lit up. Not even when sucking on the terminal...

    First Order Arrived Today!

    Thanks Doc (TheBuss) Holiday, My understanding from reading here in the forum is that the 510 has a shorter batt life than the KR808?? I have two e9 batteries: one long, one short. The longer version lasts 3 or 4 hours with a new carto. If it is a used carto, the drag is much harder and it...

    Phd in Vapology?

    Just saw all the replies. Thanks to everyone. Looks like I'm not alone. :~) Would love to reply to each one, but in a hurry at the moment. I wonder the same thing. Two things I know for sure... 1. The people who work at the kiosk I visited are just employees. On each return visit I was...

    Friend has a problem with cartomizers

    The confusion is probably my fault. It is clear to me that Willriker's friend is getting the burnt taste in cartomizers. In my post I used the term cartz (with a z) when I should have said cartos. I've seen cartomizers shortened to both forms. Perhaps cartz leads to too much confusion. I'll...

    Friend has a problem with cartomizers

    Would be a surprise if he didn't. I screwed up ALL mine during the first week. I'm not using the eGo or those cartz, but from what I've read all the cartz have the same basic design with different fittings for the various models. (With the exception of the newer V2 cartos still in...

    Yay - got it and using it!!

    Same here. I heard everyone goes through that shift. Took me about a week to give up on trying to perfectly imitate smoking. Changing to flavors helped transition to the vaping mindset.

    New to Vaping, looking for a supplier for KR808D-1 parts & Juice

    Hi SooSpicey, Welcome. I'm new here, too. Sounds like we got started the same way. I bought a Smoke 51 kit at the mall 4 or 5 weeks ago. Your JKY302D probably is a KR808-D1 if the D1 cartos are fitting it. If that is the case, you're in luck. You should then be able to get your supplies...

    Phd in Vapology?

    Thanks for all the warm welcomes! @ breaktru - I was speed typing for the benefit of speed readers. The half you missed was not important. @ CooL_SpoT - Hopefully first timers will be lucky enough to find ECF before making their first purchase. If so, they will quickly see I was a compulsive...

    Phd in Vapology?

    Hi Vapers! My first post to say hi and introduce myself. I feel like I'm at an AA meeting. LOL "Hi. I'm Scott and I'm a recovering smoker." I'm from KC Missouri. Been vaping about a month. It was a spontaneous impulse decision after seeing a Smoke 51 demo at the mall. (The guy was good) I...
