Couple of noob questions

[Payne]

First I'd like to say how glad I am that I found these forums and give a huge thanks to the ones that paved the way for the rest of us.
I've been a 1+ pack a day smoker for 27 years. I first heard of ecigs from a random website banner add for Blu ecigs. Needless to say I was intrigued and instantly began researching. Thanks to these forums I received my 510 on Thursday from RMV. Since then I'm down from 1+ pack a day to 4-5 analogs. These forums have been a huge help but I do have a couple of questions.

ejuice

I only ordered 10mil to start and I'm running out quickly. The starter kit I ordered was suppose to come with 5 pre-filled carts but were dry. Anyone know any vendors that can ship to PA in 1-2 days? I would really hate to have to resort to analogs for a couple of days.

510 atty

The filler in the cart keeps snagging on the atty wick and pulling out when I want to top it off. I've already waisted a couple of carts that were still wet. Is the blue foam mod worth doing? I hate having to constantly top off the cart to get the really good throat hits.

Thanks

Im a noob to

I found out that if you tap the e-cigg against your hand a couple of times (with battery facing down) between puffs help the juice down abit so you dont have to top of so much.

you might want to try and cut the frilled end of your batting.start with a new end.its pretty easy to mix your own if your near a pharmacy or wal mart just ad a few drops of alcohol and it works good.pg or vg plus alcohol.

Check out the Pyramid Tea Bag mod, works for me.

You can get juices pretty quick from most places, and if you up the shipping costs.......even quicker.

To start off I would have 60ml (different flavors maybe) on hand until you read some more goods and bad around here.

Good luck.

The filler should not snag unless you are twisting your cartridges after you attach them.

Never twist your cartridges once you have attached them to the atomizer.
Just pull them straight off and push them straight on.

Is the blue foam mod worth doing?

It is absolutely worth doing.

juice from cignot.com fast, juice from strictlyejuice.com cheap, juice from rockymv.com is a mix of fast and cheaper. Hope this helps.GL and Welcome!!ps. this is from my experience.

 

[Payne]

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll give cignot a try. I already placed an order with RMV so we'll see which one gets hear faster.
DC2, I was twisting the cart when removing. Will not do it anymore.

 

[WIvapor]

I would definately do the blue foam mod with the 510. I liked it better than the tea bags.

 

[Payne]

I heard the blue foam gives a nice consistent vapor untill the cart is empty. Has this been your expierence using it?

 

[7thCabal]

save the twisting for the dance floor, wiggling works. Good luck & definitely keep reading-- good stuff everywhere!

 

[CaptJay]

My filler snags sometimes, I just poke it back with a toothpick. Seems to work ok

 

[WIvapor]

I heard the blue foam gives a nice consistent vapor untill the cart is empty. Has this been your expierence using it?

Yes this is the case. No burnt taste till the carts empty.

 

[Payne]

I'm going to pick up the blue foam tomorrow. I placed an order for ejuice with Nhaler instead of Cignot since they are located in the northeast. Hopefully it gets here before I run out. Thanks again for the help.

 

[Wireguy]

For future reference LitecigUSA is in Pa. Good prices also.

 

[Payne]

I ended up doing the PTB mod. What a huge difference. It was really getting old constantly topping off the cart to get good vapor. For anyone just starting out I highly recommend doing this mod first thing. It made the entire experience 10x better.

Side note - only 3 analogs yesterday. The urge to have an analog gets less and less everyday.

. . . . Anyone know any vendors that can ship to PA in 1-2 days? . . . .

.

I've read some good feedback about Good Prophets in SE, PA ...

Maybe he is closest to you?

* I need to read the PTB mod again - did you use the straw with it? *

(I got started yesterday.)

 

[Payne]

No straw. Didn't need it. Works like a charm.

 

[gamedemon]

YES. Good till the last drop !

 

[Payne]

I still want to try the blue foam mod but since my wife had some of the pyramid tea bags I went that route instead. I'll post a comparison as soon as I try it.

 

[highping]

I have tried all the cart mods (PTB, ZFM, bluefoam, whitefoam, spring, straw, etc, etc). What I am using right now on my 510 is working like a charm.
I took a new cart, pulled the filling out, and cut it so it is about a 1/2" long. Then I can put about 10-12 drops in the empty cart and put the little piece of filling on top. Then put 2-3 more drops on it to get it saturated. The little piece of filling stays soaked until the entire cart is dry.
The other thing this does is allow the bridge to push the filling down into the cart a bit so there is very little contact with it. This seems to help to not get the 'burnt polly' taste that most filler mods give.


* I should mention, I am using this with my Chuck so it sits batt-side-down 90% of the time. Don't know how well it will work on a stock PV that lays on its side most of the time.
