maybe I am doing something wrong, I have just gone thru my 2nd of 5 of these kits, and both of my attys are still going but the battery that came with them charged 3 times for one and 4 times for the second one. Now they glow and everything but doesnt produce vapor, I changed out attys and bats and its not the attys, they work with other batteries, but the disposable battery wont work anymore. I did put the first one in my regular 510 charger and the second one in my pcc, do you think that kills it quicker? Everyone else seems to be having great luck with these things.
We found that our Joye 510 battery connectors (battery OR charger) push the center connection of the disposable atomizers into the atomizer body just enough that the disposable battery no longer makes contact with it. Makes it look like the battery is dead when it's actually a matter of no connection.

While you can use a bent paperclip to pull the center electrode back down a bit, it's easier to just keep the disposable atomizer wedded to the disposable battery, don't mix parts with other 510 e-cigs and the problem goes away.

I'm so close to taking the plunge. I'm tired of freezing my gonads just to satisfy my silly cravings. The disposables sound like the way to go. My questions are, how many batteries would it take for a full day by someone who is used to smoking a pack a day, and will 18mg be sufficient for someone used to full flavor cigs?

Shutter,

Disposables doesn't sound like the way to go but meant to be a cheap way to try vaping or a cheap back up.
Look, the disposable kit comes with one battery and I can drain it in 1 to 2 hours. Then you have charge it which takes about 2 hours, and you have to have an access to an electrical outlet.

So, if you want just to see is vaping is for you then YES go ahead and buy disposable.
If not - skip it and go for a full 510 kit which comes with a complete set of 2 ecigs and don't forget to buy some juice with it.

About what juice strength to buy for you - for full strength smoker the recommendation is to get 24 mg and 36 mg. Don't forget to buy some VG/PG in case you need to dilute your juice.

BTW, if you're diluting the juice, why not just buy the weaker stuff?

If I would not care about money then I would be buying whatever.
But considering bad economy...

1. I buy 30 ml of 24 mg for $9-$10
2. Add to that 25 ml of VG and 5ml of vodka ~ $0.30
3. The final product is 60 ml of 12mg e-juice for the total cost of around $10

I vape 2 ml a day.
You guessed it right - 60 ml is good for the whole month of vaping for just $10.

Edit: about "weaker stuff" - I don't really care about flavor as soon as it is not taste sweet.

thanks for that input. How do you do the center input thing ? Where do you stick the paper clip and what do you pull
Bend the end of a straightened paper clip at a right angle. You want the bent part as short as possible.

Hook the bend end into the hole on the bottom of the threaded adapter (carefully! there are important wires in there) and *gently pull the center ring toward the end of the threaded adapter.

Alternatively, you might be able to make it work using a piece of staple shaped into a "V" with little wings off the sides of the top of each line making the "V" (imagine an "M" with the left and right vertical lines turned 90 degrees left and right) and stick that into the hole in the battery connector. Keep the wings short enough that they only touch the center post of the battery else you'll get a shorted-out battery! Bad, very bad!

This old memory!

OK, an apology. I don't use the auto battery/disposables, my son liked them so much he claimed all of them. Talking with him, it's not the atomizer center post that gets pushed in too far, it's the battery center post. It happened when he charged the disposable in a 510 charger instead of the charger they come with.

So the same fix still applies, but work on the battery center post, NOT the atomizer center post. Or do the paperclip fix.
