This is getting scary - one of my sealed auto batts has apparently died, along with my USB charger. On top of that, my PCC is acting weird - I have to play around with the tightness of the batt in the charger to get it to charge. Looks like I'm going to have to order a couple more chargers and batts. My wife is gonna KILL me... :ohmy:

Did you do the cleaning thing around the threads etc?

Though, I must admit, one of my (newer) batts has been acting a bit weird when charging as well, light flickers on and off when charging, but seems ok when I'm using it. I don't use the PCC, just the ac-usb,

I haven't tried thoroughly cleaning the batts or PCC, although I did clean the apparent dead battery. Haven't a clue what happened to the USB charger. :blink:

Well, I ordered the Smooth Sampler & The Sweet Sampler.

Then I ordered the Watermelon, RY4 & ( by mistake ) 2 packs of the Cowboy... I feel really anxious as to how I'm going to like the Cowboy... Because I have read very different opinions of it.

What is your take on those flavors?

My all-time fave is chocolate. I know, it's crazy! I never would have thought I'd even like it. It has a dark chocolate taste with a hint of smokiness. I think I wouldn't like it as much if it tasted like milk chocolate instead of dark.

I dug out the RY4 recently to try again. I liked it at first, but the sweetness started to wear on me. It's OK, but not a favorite. But it's less tobacco tasting than some of the others, since it has a taste of caramel.

I'm not too fond of cherry. I want fruit flavors that taste like the actual fruit more than candy. But if you like cherry cough drops, you'll love this.

555 is OK. More tobacco flavor than RY4, not as sweet, but there is a hint of sweetness to it.

Cowboy has a faint spiciness, maybe even a hint of menthol or mint. Moderately sweet -- sweeter than 555.

Grape has that artificial fruit flavor. It tastes more like grape soda than an actual grape.

Vanilla: There's a smoky taste at first, then as you exhale, more vanilla flavor. Sweet, but not excessively so. Actually, not bad. I haven't vaped this flavor in a while, but I might put it into the active pile.

Watermelon surprised me. It tastes more like the fruit. There's a spicy smokiness in it, though, that's not in the fruit.

Freedom is more tobacco tasting. Some people compare it to dirty socks, and I do get the hint of that kind of musky flavor.

Desert Joe is nothing like a Camel cigarette, if that's what it's supposed to be, but it's an OK tobacco flavor, probably more straightforward tobacco than the others in the Smooth Sampler. If you want plain old tobacco, this is probably the one you'll like best.

I think that's all the flavors you mentioned. The 2 samplers you chose are an excellent choice. If you like the grape, I suggest you give the Classic Grape a try. It's a bit smokier, and I like it better.

Have fun trying all the flavors. I think trying flavors is what makes vaping so much fun.

I regularly get 2, 3 months off the same carto w/the same juice...even the DARKEST and most carto killing juices! NO cleaning in between fills, just a few drops every 5 or 6 hours. I have a carto that has had the same juice, same carto, no cleaning since Aug 2011. and I use it EVERYDAY.

I would be very upset if each carto did not last at LEAST 1 to 3 months! and they do that for me. Not sure what the rest of you are doing with them LOL!

K fine, I have at least 10 to 30 going each day, so guess I'm not as hard on them as some of you....;)

That's great mileage off a carto. At two months ea that's only 6 a year. I need to follow you around for a day and learn how to vape lol. Sure would save a lot of money.

I went to school for web design, And i mastered photoshop and dreamweaver.. But illustrator is still ridiculous!!!
Yeah, it's kinda dorky, huh?
I love Photoshop and Dreamweaver though...I wish I had finished that program in school. Ran out of money...so do you work for a company or are you out on your own?

YUP, but that's what I get...I make sure that i drip a few drops in every few hours, and (in between). And I use cartos ONLY After testing...And cartos ONLY in the same flavor(unless NEW and I'm ok) (guess I shouldn't tell you about the $2000 I spent on ...stuff...

and keep in mind that I have (almost 30) now that are my faves, which means I Need MANY full battery and tips to get me through my day LOL!
and truly, just make sure you give your carto a drop or 2 in between, it Will last you a really long time.

Bah! Poooopy day....

Goooood Moooorning Voltville!!!
It's partly froggy-er...foggy outside with a chance for smiles and chasing dewdrops throughout themorning. Later, rainbows on horizon with sunshine in surround sound to follow!
Hoping your weather will be as fine as mine ;)

If you burned any Volt cartos, can you send them to me? I want to make a tasting carto. I'll pay the postage or trade for a carto I filled with a flavor you'd like to try. I figure I need more than one carto in case I mess it up till I figure out how to remove the stuffing without destroying the innards. Right now, all my cartos are good, so I don't want to destroy them.

If I burned any I'll let you know and I'll get them to you.

Yeah, but he was on a roll. Only reason he went back was cuz he ran out of liquid! DOH! :facepalm:
Seriously, way to go, Ron! So glad vaping Volts is working out for you! Just gotta work on your timing now... :)

Thanks, Cindy. This is just a temporary setback until I figure out what I'm doing.
