SoFirst try. Please answer fast while they still have discount.

So i was thinking of buying from Vapor King E-Cigarette Starter Kits. But the starter kits i so expensive and i would like to buy parts instead. What parts do i need?

I have a cheap E-ciggarete at home with a cartidges and with (what i think is a automizer) the little thing you CAN take out from both the cartidges and the battery.

So what do i need, is it enough to just buy a battery from v4l? Because i can't find any automizer (so maybe its included in the battery). And i have 50ml of eliquid at home.

So what do i need?

Thinking of buying before sale ends.

V4L uses cartomizers which are expendable items. I can get a week of use out of each by using thin clear juices (I use PG w/ 20% or less VG) and keeping them damp so they don't singe (singe ruins the taste of cartos, making them bitter). I also avoid all juices that drop flavoring sediment (usually dark, opaque or cloudy juices) since sediment clogs everything - carto stuffing, gunks up atty & carto coils and wicks.

You need 2 batteries (2 so you can charge one while vaping one, I recommend MANUAL), USB charger, blank cartomizers but I would recommend the cartomizers from Bloogplanet or SmokelessImage instead - cooler on the lips and a bit more vapor, more absorbent. I also use V4L WOW cartos but I recommend a plastic or delrin drip tip as mouthpiece.

With a manual, if you want, you can use a standard resistance DSE901 atomizer and drip tip to test juices.


Lemme see if there is a discount code today... YES - ROULETTE30 is 30% off everything until 12/1 - however it is unclear if that is for all size orders. Orders over $100 do qualify for special extra gifts thrown in.

Hi Will, welcome to the forums!


If you just buy a battery, you will need an atomizer separately. It sounds that you got a cheap e-cigg from a gas station or store in your store? If that is the case, you are better off getting a starter kit so you will have everything you will need with that electronic cigarette. The threading of what you buy online, may be different then what you currently have. The threading being what people you see refer to as 510, 808, 901, ect.

Thanks you both!

Was thinking of buying the USB Passthrough from v4l. Have any comments about that one? Any good?

Do you have any recommendation on a E-cigarette under 40$? :):)

I've never used it and I don't know if it is 5v or 3.7v. 5v would be extremely hot with the cartos I mentioned. You may need to use V4L Coolcarts or the Boge 3ohm cartos for KR808D-1 that you can find elsewhere. And if it IS a 5v direct passthrough then you cannot put it on a computer's USB despite what they may say - it would need a good 2 amp USB to AC adapter.

I saw some reviews on Youtube, and it looked like i gave a lot of vape!, through the USB. I only considering it because it fairly cheap. And it's hard to google and find a trustworthy sites that sells E-cig for a good price.
