    Smokeless delight ??

    I don't know this company. Don't feel that you need to buy all of your supplies from the same company. And don't worry if you end up deciding you want a different model! Most of us try several before we settle on what we like best. And some of us regularly use a couple of different ones...

    Your Best Tip for Beginners :

    Best advice out there!!!! Reading Wonderful World of Vaping will answer dozens of questions you will have. Buy extra liquid in a range of strengths and flavors. Get at least one spare atty. Plan on placing another order shortly after you receive your first kit for back up supplies! :)

    Hello All

    Welcome to ECF! Most of the suppliers here spoil us with incredibly fast shipping! But that doesn't stop most of us from stalking our mail delivery people!!! ;)

    a good pg/vg mix?

    70/30 or 80/20 are good levels. Too much VG tends to kill flavor and throat hit. Too little and you suffer with reduced vapor. I'm not familiar with that company so I don't know a coupon code. Good luck! :)

    Never... Ever... EVER... Again.

    Read Wonderful World of Vaping! It is loaded with great information. I recommend that people start with a Kr8 model or a Joye 510. If you drive a lot or if you despise fiddling with stuff try the Kr8. If you want more vapor and the feel of a more powerful hit start with the Joye 510. Don't...

    ....!! i lost a whole package of cartridges just now!! :(

    Drop a couple of drops onto the metal mesh area inside the tube of the atomizer. Drip in more when the vapor production drops off. Many, many people do that exclusively! And if you still have a cart on your 510 you can certainly refill it with liquid - as long as you have a bottle of...

    Just Wondering

    I have friends who have purchased e-cigs and not quit smoking regular cigarettes. I think they had different motivation from the start however... or unreasonable expectations. The ones who have not succeeded with it are the same ones who didn't purchase backup parts, a variety of liquids, and...

    help with adding flavor to eliquid

    Start by adding a tiny amount, test, and add more if needed. Excess flavoring is darn hard to remove! ;)

    Is there a recommended way to store distilled water for maximum lifespan?

    Since the water is distilled it shouldn't have impurities in it. In order to keep it clean be sure to only pour OUT of the container. Do not use a pipette or anything else to withdraw liquid. Close it up again as soon as possible. Never return unused water to the original container. Store...

    # of Drops Per ML

    The calculator is fantastic! I only use drops when making small test batches mixing new flavor combination and approximate flavor strengths. It isn't accurate enough to reproduce accurately. :)

    Flavor vendor websites?

    What company? FlavourArt has a website in Italy. I buy it from Happy Vaper. Capella is in the US. LorAnn is also in the US. And Perfumers Apprentice is in the US. Is this what you were looking for? There are many more sources for flavors. :)

    Cleaned a couple atties

    I use vodka! I already had it and it seems to work for me. I will keep your system in mind if I find I need something more aggressive. :)

    atomizer hard to blow through

    If it used to be easier to blow through then it is probably either clogged from liquid gunk, overheating, or wear. If it is gunk then you can clean it using any of a dozen methods... my favorite is vodka. Since it isn't working for you there really isn't anything to lose by trying to clean...

    The B.F.D. Cart Mod

    The first time you put it in the straw absorbs its fill. It doesn't do it again for me unless I really wash and squeeze the dart and straw. So, after the first fill there will be liquid in the cart behind the foam. :)

    Is the kr808 the best carto?

    It uses a different design... more like a standard atomizer with a cart on top but all assembled as one unit. The filler is in a container that is NOT easily accessible for refilling. Greencig is longer than a Kr8 but it doesn't actually hold more liquid. Given the difference in cost and...

    Is the kr808 the best carto?

    Kr8 and Greencig have the same threading on the battery so they can both be used on a Kr8 battery as long as it has a slot cut across the positive terminal of the connection. All of my autos have that slot. Some of my manuals don't. You might need to use an adapter or staple mod to let in...

    The B.F.D. Cart Mod

    I tuck the ends into the cartridge. I keep the cartridge and atomizer on the battery but I loosen it slightly... and if I put it in my pocket I turn it upside down so that gravity hold the liquid in the cart. I don't know how much it matters but it works for me. :)

    m401 atty and high voltage?

    In the interest of science I calmed myself down and tried it again. (Intentionally avoiding the mirror in my peripheral vision.) I got a reading of 3.25 V. ;)

    m401 atty and high voltage?

    LOL - No! Not indicating you screwed up!!! I simply was making a fool of myself all by myself trying to hold the probes and activate the battery. Eventually I was laughing at myself so hard I just gave up. (There is a mirror to the side of my desk and I caught a glimpse of myself and it was...

    Drop off of vapor on 401/2

    I clean my atties whenever I notice a distinct drop in vapor, flavor, or draw. I use high proof vodka. I use a straw to suck the vodka up and blow it out several times. Then I blow the atty out and do a short dry burn. My M401 atties have been working for me for almost four months. :)
