:shock:Smilin:shock:

This package you sent me is unbelievable. These batteries are beautiful. The blue and silver look great in the blue case. The black and white one's are equally impressive. Since blue is my favorite color I like the blue battery the best.:hubba: I've got the blue battery on the charger now. Cant wait to take it out on the town tonight.

I will give an update on the battery performance tomorrow. I will be doing heavy vaping because some brew-skies will be involved in my going back to college celebration. Hey its free beer, I just got to go :lol:

I love the blue passthru. I've got a menthol cartomizer in one now and it hits perfect every single time. :w00t: The best part about this you don't have to worry about batteries. ;)

These nobacco juices are all 30ml bottle flavor which are the cartomizer flavors. They are my favorite, just ask Smilin thats all I order. :lol: :thumbs:

The 555 is a must try its just a great flavor. It has a slight nutty flavor to it and makes your mouth water. The throat hit is right up there with RY4 which is also an unbelievable flavor.

To me the RY4 has a caramel and a slight vanilla flav. to it. Its a one of kind vaping experience and I recommend it to anyone.

The menthol Anyone who loves menthol cigarettes will love this. Its a strong menthol flav. The throat hit is unmatched and leaves a mouth full of minthol flav. Its my first vape in the morning.

The mint its a sweet mint flav. The throat hit is great and its a perfect flav that you can add to almost any flavor of nobacco juice to sweeten and heighten the throat hit.

The banana is a new flav to me. Its really good and it reminds of those banana creme pop icicles. Its a really good desert flav.

The grape is another new flav to me. It taste like a grape jolly rancher....this is a good vape when you want a snack.

These sweet and fruity flavs like watermelon and chocolate helped me lose 10 pounds these last couple of months because I use them to help curb my sweet tooth. Try it, it helped me out.....I have a serious sweet tooth, ask my fiance, she has to hide her chocolate from me. But since i started vaping the sweet flavs she lives in peace now.:nun:

This is only from personal experience in no shape or form am I giving out facts. All Im saying is the sweet flavs. helped curb my sweet tooth. Which in doing so helped me lose some weight because I didnt eat the sweets. And with these new sweet flavors added to my arsenal, I can probably satisfy my sweet tooth even more.

Smilin you are the man and I thank you so much for giving us the best in flavs and ecig devices. I couldn't ask for more. But knowing Smilin, you're probably thinking of something else to add and perfect the ecigs even more.

I cant wait to see what you come up with next.:D

I feel the opposite about the mint and menthol flavors. I have V4L Menthol juice and I purchased my VK with 5 mint carts. I find the mint carts to be much more like a menthol analog and the menthol juice to have a much more sweet minty taste.

Although I am new to filling cartomizers and i burnt one out already after washing my first mint cart using the vodka rinse hairdryer method and filling with coca cola juice. Not sure where I went wrong but I am trying again and this time letting it soak for 5+ hours before using. Anyways I've only vaped the menthol through my NPRO not sure how much of a flavor difference it will be when I reload my 2nd mint cart with the menthol juice which I don't plan on rinseing just doing the batt side drip method and vape it through my VK.

interesting to me the mint is a sweet mint flavor and the minthol is a strong mint flavor. To each there own I guess. When I refill the cartomizers I refill them with the same flavor they held. watermelon cartomizers with watermelon nobacco juice......I only refill once or twice then toss.....thats up to three days with one cart.

Do you find cart life and vapor production on a refill to be as long and vapor produceing as a fresh prefilled?

Also the vodka method is perfect for getting the flavor out of a cart even with the strong mint flavor. I would imagine it would get very costly to buy a pack of carts for every bottle of juice you buy.

Yes and no. Been depending on the diff flavs for some reason. Definitely yes on the vapor production though. Have found that the more times I use a cart, it does start to diminish on the longevity part. That is when I give em a good shower and soak and blow dry. I answered your PM's a little bit ago DiMeZ.

So far so good on my 2nd refill attempt been vapeing strong for the past hour. I love the cola flavor through the VK it brings the flavor out even more than my NPRO.
Im enjoying the cola too. Vaping 24mg Grape right now. Tastes like a Shasta Grape soda to me. The Red Cow (red bull) is very good. Very close to the real thing. Just need a Jagermeiester flavor to go with it ! ! ! Vape some Jager Bomb hits, LOL ! ! !

I just ate a piece of rum cake mmmm someone needs to create rum cake juice lol! Does nic mg level effect the amount of vapor produced at all? I've been vapeing 6 and 8mg juices because I knew I would probably vape more than I smoked and want to keep my nic consumption low and hopfully eventually vape 0 nic.
Not that I have experienced. Does make a difference on the throat hit though. Stronger mg, stronger throat hit.

I have made some Butter Rum juice by mixing some of Steve's No Flavor 24mg nobacco juice and Lorann's Butter Rum flavoring. It was very good. I also mix my own Apple and butterscotch flavors with great success and flavor.

Honestly those cartomizers are made for one purpose which is one time use and then toss. But it can be refilled several times but at your own risk because you could waist liquid if the built in atty fries. And if you dont keep those cartomizers moist you could burn the material inside over time. Which would leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Those cartomizers have at least 15-18 analogs worth of ejuice in them. Thats about 3/4 of day of use for me. At the end of the day I simply refill the cartomizers with 8-12 drops then let sit over night.

Honestly, its not that expensive for cartomizers compare to the cost of analogs. Basically a pack of 5 cartomizers cost $12.50 which breaks down to $2.50 for each cartomizer.. I can get 3 refills per cartomizers that comes down to 83 cents per cartomizer. Plus add in ejuice cost your looking at roughly $1.00 -$1.50 per cartomizer. So $1.50-vs. $6.00 per pack of smokes. So honestly it is not costly at all.

If you did only cartomizers you are still saving $3.00-$3.50. Of course Im going by the cost of cigarettes here in my area.

I hope this helps.:)

When you put it that way it is much cheaper. I live in the Poconos in PA also so $6 is spot on for a pack of analogs :)
nice I live in Bethlehem....the Poconos are beautiful....Im originally from Charleston S.C. Long story short I met my fiance here while training in the military. Got out and moved up here.


Anyway 6 bucks is a lot for 20 cigarettes. That's roughly 30 cents per cigarette.

Well, Grimmer ... you've given me one more thing to toss over in my mind. So the chocolate carts really help curb your choc-attacks, eh? That's my biggest downfall - chocoate! If these chocolate carts could help me get past those cravings and loss a coupla pounds on the way, bonus!
One question, say you just want some vapes on a choco to get you past the 'real' craving, how do you keep your carts from drying out? Like if you don't vape it until it's empty? Is there a cap thing on them to keep them fresh?

The carts come with a rubber (i call it a condom) cap about one half inch long in length that cover both ends of the cartomizer. Also, there is a rubber pin inside the battery conection hole (to prevent leakage i think). So, yes. Just replace the condom9s) on the cart when not in use. Will stay fresh and moist.

What I do is get choco flav ejuice then by 2 -3 packs of cartomizers. When one of the cartomizers begins to lose taste...3/4 of the day vapeing or 100-150 puffs I refill them. I drip right in the top of the cartomizer while holding it (allows air to pass through which allows liquid to easily soak inside the cartomizer). I put between 8-12 drops and let it sit over night. And then use a brand new cartomizer or an already to go refill which ever comes first.

I bring RY4, choco, minthol, and marl with me where ever I go. Reason be you never know what you may crave at the moment you want to vape. Sometimes I bring watermelon instead of RY4. It works....when ever you go to the store and you want sweets just pull out your VK and vape some choco and walk away from the sweets. same goes at restaurants after you eat and at home.

LOL I was wondering what happened. I thought maybe you ran out or something with the V4L cards. I could really use them so when people ask where to go I just hand out the cards. It makes it so much easier than writing down the info. Plus they can call you if they have any questions. which is a plus for customer service...:)
