3 Days - a little frustrated

[DebraLynn]

I got a starter kit from Smoking Everywhere for my birthday. Went back yesterday to get flavor cartridges, not happy with customer service. My daughter said she saw a different one at another mall, so we went there, Sure Smoke. They were very helpful and theirs worked so much better than mine, so bought a starter kit from their, LOL. Well I like that one much better, but still does not seem to give me the vapor I would like. I have watched the beginners video and read the posts with the pics and models, but still not sure which ones I have...any help with that? Also, any suggestions regarding which brands might be easier to use, or which would give more vapor? Also, which places would be a little easier on the budget if I was going to buy another one?? I am totally hyped as I have cut down drastically on the analog cigs and want to stick with these but it is a little frustrating at times..so any advise will be great!!!

Thanks so much,
Deb

Howdy Deb;

The kits you have should be just fine. If you want more vapor, look into the nicotine juice. When your cartridges run dry, you can refill them with the juice. If you go further with the juice, you buy the high nic juice and cut it with glycerin, which you can find at your local CVS Pharmacy or WalMart. The Glycerin gives the vapor, and a good mix will bury you in vapor.

You're location shows me Irving. Contact Lika about joining the Texas Social Group. There are a lot of people in the DFW area, as well as some suppliers.

What you can't find in the Forums can be found with some help from your local neighbors. Maybe even some close to you that would meet up with you at a local place, and help you out.

E-cigs take a while to get used to. Once you have the facts and tricks, you're gonna love it.

Check out this video. It will answer most of your questions;

If you want more vapor follow the above post, if your looking for the same exact hit you got of an analog, it ain't gonna happen... I didn't think I'd be ok with vaping at first because it just didn't give the same 'fullness' in the drag, no matter how much vapor you get, there's not as much crap in it, think about downing a glass of water and a glass of molassass, you get just as much but not the same consistancy...

You have to experiment more with your liquid. I'm using 36mg, cut 50 / 50 with glycerin in an RN4081 and an M401. They both hit like trucks. More so than my analogs which I smoked 2+ packs a day for over 45 years, and the vapor is amazing.

Smoke Everywhere is not well reviewed on this forum. Poor quality and overpriced product. You probably have super mini PV's (personal vaporizers). They may look like the real thing but they have the worst performance.

I can not recommend any auto switch PV that activates the battery by inhaling. They have poor battery life and the auto switches break too easily by getting liquid in the battery compartment.

I would only recommend manual switch PV's where you push a small button to heat the atomizer as much as you want, giving warmer vapor, better throat hit, more vaper and no problems with switches breaking. The majority of these have larger batteries that last 7-8 hours, do not look like an analog (cig), give great throat hit and warm vapor. The batteries cost $2 instead of $13-$20 like the auto switch PV's. They do cost about the same as the smoke everywhere but are 1000% better PV's. There is also one smaller manual switch PV that many members recommend. It's well liked. The only draw back that I am aware of with the Joye 510 is the batteries only last about 2-3 hours.

Here are some links that might be helpful. My favorite, hassle free, PV is the Screwdriver.

Several suppliers of 510's:

I also strongly recommend getting your own liquid to refill your carts with. It cost much less, much better variety and much better taste.

Good Luck

Greetings DebraLynn,

The video JimDavis linked to should be the first thing you do before doing anything else. It is incredibly informative and can save a LOT of time reading the forum.

The model you got from Smoking Everywhere should be called the GOLD. That is known on this forum as an RN4081.

A lot of people that actually own this model of e-cig think it is very under-rated on this forum.
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rn-4081-super-mini/18127-rn-4081-underrated.html
Unfortunately some people that don't actually own this model like to post bad things about it because it is expensive and they think that gives them cause to make up stuff about performance. In reality the RN4081 is much like any other PV in that it takes some getting used to to find that peak performance level.

You can also find some really helpful information about the RN4081 in this thread...
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hroat-hit-rn4081-smoking-everywhere-gold.html

spending some time reading those two threads can really improve the experience you are getting.

With regards to bringing the cost down, the most important thing is to not buy stuff in a brick and mortar location. The rents and cost of employees at those kiosks cause them to have to charge much more for products you can get online for much less money.

BTW
Another poll that was linked in this thread is sometimes misleading. It is a two month old poll that was only open for about a week and got a total of 89 votes cast. For a poll that is actually kept active check out this one with over 500 votes and growing...
