Hi, I have purchased a V4L Ult Ult kit and haven't started using it yet.
I'm waiting to receive an XL battery and more carts.

I was just wondering if someone who uses V4L could tell me their daily routine for making sure they can get through a day of vaping without
running out of anything.

I can't wait to start this and when I do, I plan on stopping analogs for good so I don't want to :confused:put myself in a situation where I can't vape either because I have no carts or batteries. I have a PT so I guess that would
be ok while I'm charging the batteries.

Right now I have 2 of the small batteries that came with the Ult kit but I read that they only last 2 hours each.

P.S. I would have posted on V4L but am not permitted yet.

Thanks in advance for your help and info.

Hello rdytoquit! I do not use the V4L but it would be the same with any PV. Battery life is going to depend on how much you vape. If your a heavy vaper then you will find that your battery life is shorter than others. You will find what works for you as you go along. I would certainly recommend in the beginning until you have become comfortable, to always bring your PCC, 2 - 3 battery's and several cartomizers with you. You do not want to be stranded with a dead battery and start looking for the analogs! Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

Sounds like you've set yourself up pretty well. The PT will help with the battery charging (as will the XL). If you don't have any blank cartomizers, you might get a pack of those and some ejuice. I use a blunt syringe to refill blanks but it's not absolutely necessary.

"Luxury" items really not necessary but 'nice to have' might be an adapter and an atomizer from another model that you could use with the ejuice in the case you run out of the cartos - or if you wanted to try different eliquids out there that you hear/read about and would like to try out.

Thanks, Lightinup and KentC for your advice.

It sounds like you guys are pros now....maybe someday me too!
I hope so.

How did you know what strength juice/cartos to get when you started?
I just ordered a few of 4, 11, and 18. I figure one of them will be the right one. I smoke Carltons now which are not strong....some people I know say they're not even cigarettes but my lungs most surely disagree..

I'll be sure to post a review when I start this :thumb:

I ordered a Janty Dura C (510) and the only juice they had available was 'high' which for Janty is or was 16mg. Probably a good thing for me ;-) And it got me off cigs and I didn't die.lol. Later, I found that 24mg was too much for me and that I could vape 11 or 12mg without going into pacifier mode. Trial and error and I'm lucky in that if I get too much I start the hiccups every time I do too much 24mg. At one point it's the only strength they had of the Decadent Vapours flavors I like at Totally Wicked - and diluting them down wasn't cutting it flavor-wise.

For you, if you find yourself in pacifier mode can't put it down and/or wanting cigarettes - add more nicotine. If your heart races or you get hiccups drop the nic level.

First let me say that I think that V4L 808's are the best. They seem to produce better than other 808's I have tried.
One of their XL batteries will get you through most of the day if not all. I am a heavy vaper and one of their XL's gets me through most of the day, though I always carry spares. Along with your short batteries and a few cartomizers you should be good.

The formula that seems to works best is to figure the total nic you were getting from analogs, then chose accordingly.

For example: 1 pack a day of Carlton = 2mg of nic per pack at .1mg per analog. I would say 4mg should work good for you.
