bad post day

[tonyph]

started with e-cigs on thursday. 901 and 15 carts. Quickly realised this was going to work and ordered more kit yesterday. None arrived this morning, 4 carts left and all day tomorrow I am working where I cant smoke tobacco but e-cigs will be fine. The 4 carts will cover that, but this is the interesting part, I am now having to smoke tobacco as a substitute for e-cigs today. Been trying to find a local supplier since I got up. For somebody who never believed these would make an effectivve substitute to tobacco this is an amazing result.

i keep all my old carts and once ive got a few i take all the cotton wall stuff out and put into a syringe. then i squeeze the syringe and put all the juice that comes out into a little bottle. you can then use a dropper to re fill your carts or drop directly onto the atomiser.

its quite surprising how much juice you can get from a few "empty" carts!

thanks igetcha.Just tried the first couple and it works. Reminds of the old days, scratting round the ashtrays, but without the dirt and extra toxic dog ends.

It does take a bit of planning to have enough of various supplies - carts, juice, atomizers, charged batteries - on hand. You've got a personal "rythym" that you need to find, and you need to nail down a good supplier with quick delivery.

I had the same problem for the first couple weeks. I live halfway up a mountain in a forest with no home mail delivery... I have to go to the post office to pick up my mail including packages, and I have a hard time getting there while they're open sometimes. On a few days my only choice was to buy a pack of analog cigs.

My advice is lay in a few spare atomizers and batteries, buy a mess of blank/empty carts, buy a couple of bottles of juice (keep 'em in the fridge), and resist the temptation to toss out old, used carts right away. Soon you will have enough gear on hand to assemble a working ecig any time you desire one.

And remember: keep those batteries charged!

I should be storing the juice in the fridge?

You can, it just preserves them a bit.
It might thicken a bit if to cold.
Just keep out of direct sunlight and they should have a shelf life of at least a year.
Anyone who knows, refills with juice. The carts are where they make their money, like printer ink, you get the printer cheap but have to get ink at a premium.

You can rinse the stuffing out and tamp dry. If it gets to ratty, just move to the next cart. You can get blanks/never filled ones from alot of supplyers.
There are several UK supplyers that may be quicker shippers for you, listed in the suppliers link above.

Yeah definitely don't go taking out a cartridge and replacing it the second you taste burning, just top it off with some more liquid and you're good to go! Some liquid flavors are so strong that they completely take over the atomizer and cart filler and don't go away even after you add a different flavor (i.e. clove, menthol, pina colada, other fruity ones..). But normally you can just add a new flavor in the same cart and it will eventually take over the taste and be just fine!
So, don't go switching to a new cart immediately, just keep topping off and clean the white filler in the sink and dry off with a towel every few days!
