Are Green Smoke refills successfull, or should I return for an easier refilling e-cig system

[SuperDrifter439]

Just purchased GS,and am happy with product. The amount of vapor and flavors are good. The problem comes in when I look @ refilling. I have always been a DIYer to save money, and usually get a better value.

After researching more into the world of vaping, I see that refilling is relatively easy to do, however, it appears the system used in green smoke is not the 'ideal'? set up for e-liquids...

Has anyone had success with refilling GS cartridges?

Thanks

hi superdrifter welcome to forum ..im also a ex greensmoke vaper ...i say ex because i found a better cheaper product ..iv never been successful trying to refill greensmoke carts ... im currently using a ego battery , bigger more powerful and a lot lot cheaper than gs.... GS cigs flavour doesnt last more than a few puffs then the taste is gone ! im using a 950 proffessinal battery and using juicy vape and its amazing ,, i made mistake of starting with GS and paid a fortune for the kit iv ended up with 6 batterys and cant find any carts to fit them .. good luck

I can still return this GS setup...So, what is a good setup for a vaper DIY beginner?

Well FWIW, I think these will work, may even be the same thing.

Vapriot by LeCig - Blanks - 5 Pack

Drop them a line, they are a great vendor.

Greensmoke is KR808D-2 so it's incompatible with all of the KR808D-1 stuff unless you put an adapter on it. Natively you have Greensmoke and Red Dragon I think, and some blank cartos are at AZSmokeFree and Vaporkings, but I do not know the quality of the blanks or even if they have soft-caps for easy filling. LeCig is the only place with adapters for KR808D-2 to use other stuff. D2 to D1 would let you use KR808D-1 cartos on Greensmoke.

The more popular model is KR808D-1. Some KR808D-1 models are V4L (I use their manual batteries that list a custom 10+ second cutoff), plain manufacturer KR808D-1 (available at various vendors), and the rubberized models Bloogplanet, SmokelessImage and Halocigs G6. For KR808D-1 blanks I prefer the V4L WOW cartos (use delrin or plastic drip tip as a cool mouthpiece) and the Bloogplanet/SmokelessImage cartos (cooler at lip end due to horizontal coil). And slim KR808D-1 can use any single coil 2.5 to 3 ohm KR808D-1 cartomizers and well as standard resistance DSE901 atomizer (use drip tip on atomizer only on manual batteries)

return it...now!

i also started with greensmoke. i won't go through the list of problems and inferior products, but suffice it to say the list is lengthy. i am now a happy vapor. when i purchased greensmoke without first doing any research, i was underwhelmed. maybe i shouldn't be bashing GS, but i after giving vaping another shot after the GS experience, i've been analog free for a week and have only had two cravings for real tobacco. when i was using the GS product, i was constantly in nic withdrawal... some people may like the product, but it wasn't for me.

Edit: Also, the problem may have been with my lack of knowledge. I was using the prefilled cartomizers....

 

[doglover]

i use switch2 based in uk .. or try LF im using a 510 . the carts are easy to re fill too

 

[hairball]

KGO kit and Boge 2ohm cartomizers..throw in a drip tip. One of the easiest, fuss free setups you'll own. Not sure where you can obtain them in the UK.

 

[Karla Lyle]

I agree with both Hounds and hairball. Return it I had an Ego first then a Kgo, and the Kgo I like a lot better. I've now moved on th a Lavatube which I like better than both of those but the kgo is still my backup. also find what flavor juices you like then start venturing into DIY juices if you really want to save money.

I would have to disagree. I've been an e-cig user for a while and I've used quite a few different brands. Hands down the best one I've found has been Green Smoke.

While other brands might be cheaper, they're also much harder to use. Manually refilling the cartridge was no fun. I got e-liquid everywhere when I was refilling, and it was messy. I had to throw out a $75 shirt because I dropped the e-liquid bottle on it and stained the entire thing. Very frustrating.

The 2-piece design is much easier to use and GS's cartomizers last the longest of all the e-cig brands the I've tried.
I've also had problems with Green Smoke products, ones that almost made me stop using them. But I've found their customer service to be incredibly helpful. They'll bend over backwards to help. Give them a call, they do their best to please.

DON'T listen to anyone telling you to use a mod. Just last week it was all over the news that someone was using a mod in Florida and the battery blew up in his face. It knocked out his front teeth and burned away half his tongue.

Good luck!

Received my first juice refill today. From Mad Vape. Tobacco flav something....anyway, after refilling my GS it worked great...As good as original! Ton's of smoke, really easy. It's my New Lava Tube that isn't working, I'm doing something wrong!?

how did you refill them ? iv tried thro the tip (condom method ) but it never ever worked

 

[SuperDrifter439]

pulled the two piece cap off, used a syringe and put a huge amount in. Works great, let you know if it lasts. I'm also curious how many refills these carts can handle?

 

[EasyBreather]

Just out of curiosity, why don't more people just pull the cap off to refill these things? Condoms, syringes, spinning, messy juices, it all seems like a huge headache. I don't own a GS but a buddy does and when he asked me how to refill I just popped the cap off in 2 seconds and dropped from the top. I've been filling my SmokeStik like this for over a year without issues. Am I missing something?

 

[SuperDrifter439]

Easybreathing now...lol incredibly simple. As good as original cartridges, and GS does produce some serious smokage

 

[EasyBreather]

Ya, I was impressed with my friends GS, although I was comparing it to a SmokeStik which appears to be on the lower end when it comes to vapor.

Just out of curiosity what brands have you tried. I'm interested in what you are comparing GS with.

While other brands might be cheaper, they're also much harder to use. Manually refilling the cartridge was no fun.

Most of us do refill but there are other brands that sell pre-filled carts. Have you tried:

We don't know what he was using. It's all speculation. The only types of explosions that we know of are mods with stacked batteries. That's an entirely different animal and has little to do with the suggestions made on this thread. On other hand there is no such thing as a safe lithium battery.

No, you're not missing anything. I have always refilled my cartos by the drop from the top. It's easy and takes very little time. Syringes make me nervous and the condom method is too messy.

 

[EasyBreather]

I was trying to rationalize the other methods. Maybe some manufacturers glue the caps on? Sometimes I get a cart which is hard to disassemble, but I never throw away a good cap so I always have a spare if one is destroyed by pulling it off.

 

[SuperDrifter439]

I'm learning today that the GS refilling works great,but doesn't last too long. The syringe works well to quickly refill, though.
