(...) I don't want syringes and stuff laying around with kids and all. I want to buy the pre-filled.

I totally understand how you feel, I was nervous about that aspect too. I'm a diabetic, though, so it was more the idea of bottles of sweet smelling nicotine lying around for kids and pets to be curious about- I'm pretty used to keeping syringes out of reach. (BTW, insulin syringes do not work well for eliquid- the needles are too short and thin) If you are uncomfortable with syringes, though, you can use a pointy eyedropper, or even just carefully drip the liquid directly from the bottle if it has a dropper top (some companies don't use a dropper top bottle (I'm sure that's not the technical term for them, but whatever)).

What you need is a lock box to keep your juice and supplies in, you can pick them up fairly cheaply at your local evil super store with either a combination lock or a keyed lock, my pref is for the combo lock, because the cheap key locks are... cheap. And easily picked.

I watched a few you tube videos that demonstrated several methods of filling the cartomizers, and it really isn't difficult, no matter which method you choose- you won't screw it up, I swear. You just need to be patient with yourself the first couple of times, and don't be afraid to be adventurous. Order some sample packs of flavors that appeal to you, a few empty cartos, wait til the kiddos are asleep and go for it. You may be surprised at how easy it really is and what weird flavors end up being your favorites.

When I first got my kit, I assumed I'd prefer tobacco flavors, because they'd seem more like cigs, but I bought a pack of chocolate cartos just for fun. As it turned out, the tobacco really did not satisfy me at all, but the chocolate? Yum! And the banana... omg. Since then, I've found that my desire to try new flavors far outweighs my desire for the convenience of boring prefilled cartos- I'm vaping a one of a kind mix of peach and watermelon (both from MsT's Bakery) right now that is to die for. And I was so sure I wouldn't like fruit flavors.

Anyway, good luck, and enjoy!

Hello Janet,

I used to own a standard v2cigs kit, I can most certainly say they have awesome flavors. I have a bottle of 10mL V2 platinum e-juice (sahara flavored) at home that I like to refill my blu premium 100 carts with. Boy I wish they would put out the cola flavor into a bottle of e-liquid, I would be set for life.

I own a blu premium 100 kit, and I am constantly having to drop in 2-3 drops everyday to get the flavor/vapor going. I read another post on boiling the old carts to rid it of the old stale flavor so you when you refill it with the new flavor of your choice, it will taste just like the cart was brand new. I might just give that a shot!

Hi. I started off with a cig look alike and was going to change to the V2 as I heard good things about it.

I ended up getting a tank as it was pink lol

As another noob to Vaping, I agree, WAY too much to take in all at once. But this is surely the ultimate place to answer your questions. Another +1 to trying higher nicotine levels. From the little I know, the juice with higher amounts of PG give better throat hits as well. More PG also means less exhale vapor, which can be a good thing depending on where you are. Once you get through the first hurdles and have some hardware and juice that suits you, you'll be fine. If you stick with it you'll be very glad you did. We are all rooting for ya!

Cheers!
