    Might be time to start using boxes for shipping.

    I'm very pleased to be able to report that, as usual, V4L has responded to the problem with alacrity. A replacement order has already shipped! Hats off to Mark and Tim!

    Might be time to start using boxes for shipping.

    This is Arizona, where we all carry guns (and I'm no exception). ;)

    Thanks, Mark, that's good to hear. I have already created a support ticket on it. Andy

    Might be time to start using boxes for shipping.

    If he were up to committing a felony, why would he even bother to deliver the empty envelope?

    Might be time to start using boxes for shipping.

    Last Friday I ordered 10 boxes of cartomizers and 3x30ml of juice. Today I got an envelope with a torn corner and nothing in it but the invoice. I've reported it to the USPS inspectors and emailed V4L support in the hope that their mail is insured when sent. In the meantime, I'm about out of...

    Optimum cart volume used by the factory?

    I'm still using some ancient cartomizers that only hold 0.8ml, but the newer ones all seem to hold 1, maybe 1.1ml.

    Cartomizers and shortness of breath???

    September 1st will mark my first year of vaping, and I've only had the SOB problem once (accompanied by a sore throat). It was with a non-V4L RY4, so I stopped using it and have had no trouble since. No V4L flavor I've tried has had any ill effects on me, but that doesn't mean that someone else...

    E-Juice Shake?

    I shake mine only to mix flavors. Has to sit for quite a while to allow all the air bubbles to escape, especially since I keep the juice refrigerated. Never noticed any separation of constituent parts.

    syringe refilling

    10 should be plenty, pianoguy. I've been using the same one (got it from Johnson Creek) for four months, and it still works fine.

    Where do you store your cartomizers, ejuice?

    I have a liter bottle of juice that I keep wrapped in brown paper (to protect from light) in the refrigerator. Should some judge or legislator make a stupid move, I'll be set for long enough to move to a more tolerant country. ;) The cartomizers I just leave at room temperature in ammunition trays.

    Taryn refill...MUST use .... Plug!

    I have a red spot on my forehead from slapping it after syringe-filling several carts without the plug. Glad I wasn't doing the centrifugal thing!

    Failed USB Passthrough

    Yep, I have a passthrough that's been in constant use every day at home, in the car, and at work, for four months. Overseas manufacture can be a little hit-or-miss at times, but our Leaford is on the job!

    Is it worth it to track down blank cartos to order?

    Michelle, sure you can. I've done that with some flavors I didn't care for.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Don, new carts aren't a buck fifty, they're two bucks, and that's the on-sale price. (V4L prices, natch.) My refills cost me twenty cents in juice. In other words, ten percent of the price of new ones. That adds up quickly. (I don't boil water to do mine, nor leave them to dry overnight, which...

    LOL ! 30 cart flavors and still havent found my flavor

    Definitely time to start mixing. You can get commercial flavors and unflavored nicotine liquid. There are some places that will do a custom mix for you, too.

    Is it worth it to track down blank cartos to order?

    Hot water is usually good enough; I reserve Everclear for carts that were originally filled with a flavor I find obnoxious or for those that have developed an "off" taste through overuse. No need to wait for them to dry. If you blow the water out (mouth on the mouth end), you can refill right...

    New to V4L Family

    Welcome, Blue! Yes, the crackle you hear is the juice cooking in the atomizer. Many of us find it soothing. If it starts to meow, or to command you to enact bizarre rituals, you should see a doctor.

    V4L crew ? about shipping?

    I'm with ya, Cory. It would be great to be able to select shipping options. USPS Priority is frequently a good choice, and UPS or FedEx overnight or second-day for those emergencies we sometimes encounter would be good too. Let's continue to lobby V4L for more shipping variety!

    Vote for best flavored prefilled Carts

    Hello, I am Hilton. No, not Paris Hilton. No, not Perez Hilton. No, not the famous hotel chain. I am HILTON. I have co-opted my owner's ECF account for a few moments, because I can. I am that strong. I will return him unharmed, but first I need to say a few words: I am everything that you wish...

    Vote for best flavored prefilled Carts

    Wow, that list is far too limited for me to respond. Only one of my five favorites is even listed, unless you really intend "other" to include some of the most fabulous, excellent, awesome, and otherwise superlative flavors available. My flavors feel slighted, and their feelings are hurt...
