My e-cig is still on the way but I'd like to oreder a liquid now so it gets here not long after the e-cig. I have 15 carts coming to me, but as I now know those are not the equivelent of a pack of analogs my plan won't work. (As I wanted to order enough to make sure I had plenty between paychecks, every 14 days.)

Flavor isn't to important to me, because I smoke a variety of different analogs. I've been switching between Doral lights and Doral menthols about every other pack. Occasionally I like to indulge in a Marboloro Virginia Blend.

My biggest concern is price, and quantity of liquid in the bottle.

Also, what is the best way to get the fluffy stuff that goes inside the cart and absorbs the liquid?
 
I ordered the Turkish Blend from truevapor . com (can't post links until 15 posts :( ) because I am/was a Camel cigarette fan (don't know if there is other better tasting Turkish Blend/Camel flavors out there, just the first one I found and ordered it). I ordered 24mg but probably should have ordered 18mg. The prices seem like a good deal to me (I'm new to all of this maybe someone has a better place with better flavors or maybe we all have different tastes and need to experiment since we're all like beta testers for these things still) and the shipping only took 3 days, I ordered that and an NPro from different sites on the same day and they both came in the mail on the same day. I haven't experimented with anything other than the starter pack carts (which didn't taste all that good), and the stuff I ordered from truevapor. I am reusing the carts that came in the starter kit to put my drops in.

Sorry fro rambling hope it is of some help and hopefully others will contribute to help you decide.

You need to start using your device to better understand how it works and what all of us are saying about care and maintenance on this forum. The cartridge stuffing is naturally absorbant, though it may need some coaxing with a tweezer or pin/paper clip. You will see soon enough.

As for liquid, there are a ton of supporting suppliers of this forum that sell smoking juices; you need to decide what flavor(s) you want to try. Unfortunately, smoking liquids are not always available and there are some you will just not like. This is the price we pay for taking on a new habit.

Johnson Creek Smoke juice and Puresmoker have samplers. I would start there. Alternately, if you do not care what you vape, check the forum for vendors doing closeouts of smoking juices at insanely low prices. If you morph into a juice hog that will vape anything, you can have a steady supply of inexensive, closeout juices from several of the forum supporting vendors.

Best prices on large quantities--order from one of the Chinese suppliers. There are, however, some reports of problems with customs (although not yet widespread), and you have to order a fair amount to make it worth your while. I ordered some liquid from www.eastmall.net and at $50 for 100 ml of liquid, I have no complaints.

You might try the classified section here on the forum: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/classifieds-swaps/ Lots of times folks are selling stuff that they purchased but didn't like, so you might find a deal there. You can also post on that forum that you want to buy cheap liquid. :)

Another tip--many suppliers offer coupon codes for anywhere from 5% off on up. Check out http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...tronic-cigarette-coupon-code-master-list.html to see who's offering what. :)
 
Also, what is the best way to get the fluffy stuff that goes inside the cart and absorbs the liquid?


Type "New video - Re-stuffing M-401 carts: up close and personal"into the search on the forums, since I can't post a link I can't give you the direct link. There is a video on how to do it and what to buy to stuff in the cart and where to buy it, I just came across this yesterday.

Ahhh, Rhetoric Camel--nice to see a newcomer so diligently reviewing all the cool information on this site. :)

The link to the "restuffing" video: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...e-stuffing-m-401-carts-up-close-personal.html

I buy polyester quilting batting for my stuffing, and it works quite well. Others swear by aquarium filter material. :)

Do check out the video--even if you have a different model, the information is relevant and helpful.

If your really looking for cost effective and not afraid to DIY. Go to liquid express . com and buy the pg the 30 ml of 36 mg unflavored liquid and get some flavor from there or lorann flavorings. You can do a search here for basic places to find them. Also you can pick up some food grade glycerin which is vg or pg from walmart some say.

Unfortunately, I am scared to DIY. Scared out of my mind actually...Yep, totally chicken.

I'll refill carts from liquid and restuff them, I'm comfortable with that. Though even for that I'm going to wear latex gloves, a hepafilter and work goggles. Call me what you like. Its how I roll. My motto is "Try not to make me die as often."

When it comes to cutting and dilluting or flavoring myself, no thanks.

Sorry if my question shows a lake of searching integrity. I have been researching myself and I'm checking out all the videos I can (Just watched one by Parker on the KR808a) but its a really big forum here, and there is a lot of material, I can't catch it all without a heads up.

Sorry that came out too fast lol.
ok here is a breakdown

1 30 ml of unflavored 36mg juice is 19.00
1 30 ml of pg mixing fluid is 3.00
so when mixed together in equal amounts (50/50) is 60 ml of 18mg unflavored e liquid for 21 dollars.
flavoring run about 8 dollars here but lorann has candy flavorings ( don't get the flavored oil or anything with oil in them) for about 1.50 and you can add the flavor to the cart to get some good flavor in there.

OK np in that case I have heard that Johnsons creek smoke juice is pretty reasonable at 19.99 for 30 ml. Most people agree that you vape about 2 ml aday so that should be 2 weeks worth. I personally tried e smokey treats is reputable but they sell in 15ml only but the price is 10 per 15ml. So you can alway get 2 flavors to try them out.

I just realized that my "atta boy" to Rhetoric Camel might have come across as a slam on you for not having searched out these issues, but that wasn't my intent. Frankly, I was just pleasantly surprised to see someone so new to the forum had already managed to find that video. You could literally spend days simply reviewing information on this site. :)
 
Thanks Julie, I have been researching ecigs for about 2 weeks and everytime I typed a question into google and found someplace with an answer it was on this forum, so I ordered the ecig and decided to become a member of the forums for any questions I might have. Seen many useful things here and seems very helpful and good people here.

No one has croaked from having direct contact with smoking liquid. If that was the case, we'd all be dead. Don't freak out.

Fair warning . . . this forum is positively addictive. ;) Truthfully, I've yet to have a question that someone here hasn't had an answer for. The wealth of knowledge is staggering, as is the generousity of the members.
