GreenSmoke and GreenCig are two different models from what I understand so I don't believe the carts are compatible. I have heard from Red Dragon owners who say the carts are not really compatible and the RD is like the Bloog or E-9 whatever they call them. Thanks to all who thanked me and liked the review, we reviewer types love to be stroked, lol!

As for refilling them go get needle from the pharmacy and inject in through the bottom or atomizer end. It takes a little patience because the liquid is so thick but it works great. I have also thought of using a flavor injector like we use with turkey and other meats since that needle is a bit bigger and might work better, I can tell more once I try it, as for now I am using a diabetic needle that cost $1 at Krogers.

Yes, I have the 220 kit the 300 kit has the shorter batteries so I didn't see the point in spending the cash on it and besides I had juice and other things that I didn't really need the more expensive kit. Yes you can use a KR808D-1 with GreenCig carts, I don't think you will get the life out of the juice in the cart that you do on a GreenCig battery and here is why. The GreenCig battery has some circuitry in it that not only cuts off after so many seconds but it also monitors the number of puffs over a period of time and won't let you take a puff if your "abusing" it vaping too much in a short amount of time. I have yet to have this trigger but I can see it's value in prolonging cart life by monitoring your usage. To those that want to argue if this is fact, talk to the vendor I am just repeating what info he gave me.

Bmarkosi, I have the G220 not the G300 kit sorry for any confusion. What I have is 2 long GreenCig batteries with Green led, 4 carts, charger and instructions in a few languages. The difference being in the battery size I think the G300 is on it's way out or it has to be upgraded to the better batteries, it makes no sense to get that one the way it is. I don't know if the KR808D-1 batteries last longer than the GreenCig or not but I can say the GreenCig battery is a horse! It works for a long time before needing a charge. I would recommend the 220 kit over the 300 kit. You can also go with the KR808D-1 and use the GreenCig carts, I did that at one point then went with the GreenCig kit full time and I have no complaints. If you only want the best and only want to make one purchase instead of multiple kits searching for the best then look no further. I have a m401, 510, 6v mod, KR808D-1, and a GreenCig and nothing beats the last 2 except a HV mod and that's not really a fair comparison because that's not a traditional E-Cig. Another cool thing about the KR808D-1 and GreenCig is that their are also able to be used with the 901 with a staple. Not only do they rock but they are very versatile.

Hope this has answered any lingering questions and if there are more questions post them.

Hmm did you talk to the vendor about it, the GreenCig is top notch as you know and I would be surprised if they would not have at least offered you a replacement battery if not for free then at a greatly reduced price. I would even try to contact Greenworld Technology Ltd and I would imagine you could get a replacement no problem. To those that want to see the vapor and how it hits go check out my video review, and no laughing at the hair and lack of shave I didn't plan on making a video I did it as a favor for another member and figured what the hell and put it up for you guys to laugh at. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/video-reviews/45227-greencig-vaping-technique-vapor.html

Since I want to buy an ecig and be done with it, hopefully only buying liquids from that point on, I was wondering if a pcc is neccessary or if one GreenCig battery will last all day?

The things is, Nhaler only has the 1-piece set available right now and I am determined to order by the end of the night. Do you feel that just one battery and two cartridges (with some juice too) is enough to get started and last a while or should I wait for the two battery set (like the one you bought) to become available? This is a big problem since the batteries seem very expensive and the two-battery kit is the only one that is reasonable but isn't in stock and I want to order TONIGHT.

I am having a very hard time deciding on whether it is better to get the M702 set from absolutelyecig (which comes with a pcc, but only 1 batter/atomizer), the revolver (which is the same except it is maybe cheaper but out of stock, I really want to order tonight!), or the Sidesho, which seems very cool and comes with a PCC as well.

I really want to get a lot of vapor (cuz I think it looks really cool), and I can't really know if throat hit is important to me since I don't have any experience with e-cigs. What I do want is a lot of flavor, and a device that is easy to refill and is low maintenance. I want to have one ecig with me all day and have both the battery last, the cartridge last (until i refill it at night) and full flavor/ lots of vapor. If the greencig can provide me with lots of vapor/flavor/all day battery I'll order right now.

Thx for all your help!

Ps: Nice video snarkyone =)

If you want to buy it tonight and can't wait have you thought of going with the KR808D-1 kit since that can be used with the GreenCig carts and can get one that has the PCC. I think you might be able to get by with just one battery but I can't be sure and I sure as hell don't want to give you a bum steer. I have found that the batteries last me a good long time but I have not really timed it and it really wouldn't matter because if one thing ever subject to user differences this is. Think of these like cars even if we have identical setup in identical cars our mileage will differ, it could be slight it could be large depending on our difference in driving styles. Just for the sake of argument let's say I have a lead foot (which I do) and take off as fast as possible without getting tickets all day, I drive 75 - 80 on the freeway, and in general don't worry to much about mileage more than time. Let's say you on the other hand drive like a granny, nice and slow no fast starts or anything. Provided your not in front of me doing that crap and you live the mileage between us is going to be different. Same thing with the E-Cig, my personal vaping habits are going to differ from yours so it's all relative really.

As much as I want to tell you to go for it and grab the single battery kit, I would hate for you to be stuck at work with no backup. If you absolutely can't wait you should be quite happy with the KR808D-1, it's very close to the GreenCig but it's still not the GreenCig, and in my mind the GreenCig is superior. I even posted on here vaping a GreenCig cart and vaping a GreenCig battery with KR808D-1 cart. The difference in the vapor production and hit is significant in my eyes. I have found a place for you or anyone else that wants one that they can buy anytime go here: http://www.greencigusa.com/ Oh and they take paypal!!!

Why wouldn't you recommend the revolver to a first-time buyer? How is the vapor on it? I've seen the video-review, but I like getting different opinions. And what do you mean you got yours to work but..?

I wouldn't recommend it because right out of the box mine didn't work worth a snot. Two batteries, two attys, two cartridges... virtually no vapor production at all.

I have a pretty good handle on how PV's work.. and for the most part I know what I'm doing and generally know what to do depending on how the PV behaves... so I was able to "mod" mine and get it to work to my satisfaction.

But I wouldn't expect a first-time user to know how to recognize certain symptoms.. or know how to rectify them.

I'm new... what is the "big mod" you say it won't replace and forgive my ignorance.
As I stated, I'm new. I order a starter kit from Innovation and couldn't figure it out.
I emailed the supplier/owner and he said he'd send me the easy instructions but never did and then got quite rude about the whole thing. I'm out over $100 and don't want to lose any more money or keep smoking regular cigarettes. Please help me out here. I need something that works as well you talk about but I don't know how to begin. Thanks for your help.

For someone who wants to vape all day and not worry about batteries or pretty much anything I would recomment a chuck with a 901 attachment, and a cartomizer adapter from vapor country, haven't tried greencigs, but do Greencigs carts, but do they fit on a 901 battery without a cartomizer adapter and work well?

I have the Revolver and I didnt have any issues with mine. Also my parents got a duo and split it and theirs works fine too. I guess only a few people got bad parts but i heard customer service took care of them. between absolutelyecig and revolver, i would go with revolver. the total cost is cheaper and buy the time the preorders get here will be the same amount of time to ship from china. tho my 510 was my first ecig, i feel the revolver is the perfect first ecig to get off of regular smoking. and the portability is very good.

First off this was a GreenCig review, screw the Revolver or any other 3pc unit for that matter, they all suck in my opinion. I like to vape my E-cig not spend my time topping, or filling up carts, dripping, modding the cart, searching for filler, screw that noise. 2pc units are superior in every way, some more than others which is the point of the thread!

No they come in more than 2 flavors! I think that the vendor is just out of other flavors, they have just about any damn flavor one could want a few that nobody could possibly want, lol! Yes, the carts do last all day for me. Individual results may vary, if you stand around sucking on it constantly then no it's not going to last you 24hrs of constant puffing, NO E-CIG will do that. Don't believe the claims of them lasting for 2 packs of tobacco cigarettes that is simply not true, it all boils down on the persons habits much like driving identical cars but getting different mileage due to how we drive, it's the same principal applied here. I was a pack to 2 pack a day smoker when I started and a cart last me 24 hrs or so without needing to refill it.

Yes it will fit on a 901 battery and work with the Staple Mod which can be found on here, it's simple really, you bend the staple so that the middle body of it will fit in the hole of the battery and the rest fits over the hole to act as a spacer to allow air flow.

Did the person that asked about the big battery mod get his question answered by someone? A big battery mod is just a mod that is has more power for the atomizer common voltages are 6v or 5v depending on the mod. I have a 6v mod and I have to be careful when using it because juice tends to burn real easy at 6v and you get a burnt taste.

I stuck with the 220. I feel that the 300 is a bit overpriced, and have only seen it sold with the PCC (which makes it over $120). The bigger battery seems like it would be worth it, and looks like the main difference between the 300 and the 220. Also, I may be wrong on this, but I believe that the 220 has the auto-cutoff problem fixed whereas the 300 may not and thus may give weaker/shorter hits. But get that checked out because I could be wrong. Good luck, I'll let you know if it's all its cracked out to be as soon as i get it.
