Travel and Vaping Cruise ship passengers & ecigs!

Forgot to say .. Vapor4Life has a permanent coupon code for a 10% discount .. the code is SMILIN

Also, another good place to get the KR808 kits is from Rob at GoodProphets.com and his standard KR808 empty cartomizers are great, they run a little hotter than a cool cart but outlast any "standard" KR808 carto that I've tried.

If I want a standard empty carto I like GoodProphets, if I want Cool Carts I like V4L's. Both of those dont get a burnt taste like many others do and they seem to be made much better than other suppliers cartos are.

GoodProphets has a permanent discount code for 5%, it is TVCFRIEND and if your order is $30 his shipping is free.

Hello there!
I am so glad there are some people who enjoy cruising. I went on my first and last one. If I contract lung cancer, I'm gonna sue the cruise line because I was so bored on the "Fun Days at Sea" that I smoked more in four days than I had ever smoked in my life! That's why everyone is different. Life would be boring otherwise.

I want automatic, not manual (don't like the button)

Just a word of warning...

Automatic batteries can have a much bigger learning curve than manual batteries.
And most of them also have a cutoff that might prevent you from taking long drags.

I strongly suggest you get at least one manual battery as backup just in case.


As far as the learning curve, remember to come back and read this if you are having trouble...

Automatic batteries often take some practice to get them working good.

Stand in front of a mirror and watch the LED as you take drags.
You want to see how hard you need to draw on it to get that LED lit.
And you want to see how hard you need to draw on it to keep it lit as long as possible.

For some automatic batteries your only choice is to do consecutive short drags.
And it is often said that a quick short initial draw (primer puff) followed by a real drag will work well.

Most people recommend slower, longer draws.

Heya, Jackie. Saw your post on the Classifieds. I'd try those lemonade if I had something to water them down a bit. I still am dumbfounded that you can vape at 36mgs. That juice would rock my world at that level.

Hope someone picks them up for you though! They certainly sound tasty.

Just think about the money saved by vaping for a second. Those of us who may not even have a cruise in our future may have one now! Woopeeeee!

Money saved? Where is that money? I'm sure I wont break even for another few years!! It is so much fun to switch flavors every 2 hrs .. try this .. buy that .. love this .. oops a new favorite .. wait I just tried a new one .. have a new favorite .. etc etc etc.

I bought way toooooo much stuff and am still buying like a lunatic! In fact am getting ready to sell all of my eGo stuff, I have TONS of it .. but have decided to just stick with my KR808 and it's 6 batteries and PCC and USB passthru .. oh and the 75 cartomizers I have for it .. not to mention the 40 liquids I have for it .. with more liquids coming in my mailbox any minute today (dont ya just hate it when the mailman is late and you're expecting 3 packages). LMAO

Switch flavors every 2 hours ?? I normally have 4 cartos with 4 different flavors on 4XLbats. change flaors every time I vape. Variety is truly the spice of life.

Hi Satharra .. teehee about me and my 36mg, I did cut down to 24mg a week ago. Nicotine Nirvana makes probably the best "marlboro" knock off around, although no eliquid can ever taste exactly like a marlboro, his is very good and doesnt have "weird sweetness" in it, which many tobacco ones does have. But I stopped doing the tobacco flavors and moved on to things like root beer! And chocolate! And pina colada! And raspberry! Gotta love all the flavors plus getting nicotine too, so glad I discovered the world of vaping, wish I'd found it long ago!

What are Snus?

Snus is a small packet of flavored tobacco that you slip between gum and cheek. I like it because it doesn't make you salivate and spit like pouches or Bandits. The tobacco release is slow and lasts up to half an hour.

Snus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thank you all for your suggestions. I just placed my order from V4L for a $49.95 value pack starter kit, along with extra cartos in Nuport and Assorted Fruits. Funny thing... Their office is located in the town I grew up in, and is in the same shopping center where I met my husband 30 years ago, and not too far from me. Unfortunately, this meant I had to pay tax . Oh well... Maybe I can pick up what I need next time by myself!

Well, I did it again. I ordered more juice. I'm starting to think I'm a juice-aholic. Is there a JA group somewhere I can join?

Anyhow, I did want to let you all know that FreedomSmokeUSA is running a great special on their juices. For those with a sweet tooth, you can get 5 10ml bottles of sweet flavored juices for $15. It's a great deal from great people who really know what customer service is. (The special is only good for 5 bottles so don't go too crazy!)

If you're interested, check in the supplier forum. I've tasted 4 of their juices now and they have some great flavors and quality.

One of the best "accessories" we took with us on the cruise was a PCC. With a PCC, when you change carts, just change batts, and you are good to go all day. PCC lasted three days doing that before it had to be recharged - and then we just switched out the PCC batt with a fresh one and we were good to go for another three days.

I've been wanting to try the liquids from Freedom Smoke so ordered on this special this morning. The coupon code is SWEET and the way it works is you must order juices that have "sweet" in them, so for instance I ordered caramel, butterscotch, black cherry, chocolate and strawberry .. all of those are "sweet".

You order 5 bottles in the 10ml size .. so a total of 50 ml .. and by using the coupon code it costs $15 plus shipping. I've been wanting to try their juices so this was a good opportunity.

Oh and I decided to see if I can cut down to 18mg now .. so I ordered them all at 18mg .. yikes! You can specifiy whether you want PG or VG and you can also specify how much of each you want .. I like that feature, I ordered mine at 80pg and 20vg.

They'll be sending me some of their cards to hand out on our cruises .. we leave Saturday for Copenhagen, hoping the juices arrive in time for that trip. If not we have other cruises spaced out every 4-5 weeks, and I'll love making recommendations to other passengers and will give their business cards out.

Well, I can say that I've been extremely happy with their Hawaiian Tropic and their RY4. I put another bigger order with them this time and will happily post a review once I get them all tested out.

Their customer service is just exceptional too. Talked to David this morning since I've been tracking down some method to alleviate my husband's issues with my KR808. (He takes a puff and ends up hacking up a lung.) Settled into trying a 901 atty to see if that will help. David hunted some out of his stock and dropped them into my shipment of juices to save me some money. Just incredible!

Oh, and I ordered these juices on their 5-10ml special:
Apple Pie
Butterscotch Almond
Mango
Spearmint
Caramel Cinnamon Bun

We'll have to compare notes!

Yes yes, we can compare notes. I love caramel, and butterscotch .. looks like you do too? I must say I havent tried a RY4 yet, that's because maybe I have assumed wrong .. I've assumed it's a tobacco flavor with some caramel added? Is that what it is? If it doesnt have a strong tobacco flavor to it then maybe I'd like it, if it has LOTS of caramel

When I first started vaping I loved the tobacco flavors, but after the first 2 weeks I switched to fruits and desserts and coffee flavors .. now the thought of a tobacco flavor turns my stomach. Strange how tastes change the longer I'm analog free

Tell you what, I've got a another bigger order in with them that includes RY4. I had them add a bit more vanilla because I really like vanilla too. (So I guess mine is more of a RY5! ) Once I get it in, I'd be happy to share a little with you. I know you'll be out of town for 2 weeks so just send me a PM reminder when you get back. I'll be out of town next week so it should work out well timing-wise.

It doesn't have a strong tobacco flavor to me but it does better if you let it sit. Initially, I didn't see much to it but once it sat for a week, I was in heaven. I pick up a lot of caramel and some chocolate flavors, not so much tobacco but I do sometimes get a hint of it. I just wanted mine a little sweeter.

I started out loving tobacco too but have moved into the sweets now. I still like flavored tobaccos (like my vanilla tobacco) but I definitely prefer the sweets and the fruits. The mints are also getting some increased attention of late.

The FreedomSmokeUSA RY4 is not a true RY4 in my opinion.

It should have a tobacco background with caramel and vanilla hints.
But FreedomSmokeUSA seems to use a jalapeno flavor to get closer to tobacco taste.

This whole jalapeno thing that FreedomSmokeUSA has going interests me.


I actually like it, and it is going to stay in my juice rotation.
So I'm definitely not bashing it.

The RY4 from Backwoods Brew is out of here though.
Because they seem to be using ginger to get to that tobacco flavor.
Much like Halo juices do.

I still like the RY4 from NHaler much more than any other.
But there are still so many to try!!

Jalapeno? JALAPENO??? I love jalapenos .. I eat em like crazy, so what the heck I may as well vape em too

Check out their Wyatt Earp blend then, even more jalapeno flavor.
And get their RY4 too, just in case.

And yeah, I like it enough to keep it around.
