Hi Guys,
This is my first post and my first e-cig:)
Today I just received my first electronic cigarette; I bought E9 from E-cig.com + 21 cartridges and 2x50ml e-liquid one high and one extra high in nicotine J both batteries came charged, entire kit came in i-pod looking black box. This is the kit where atomizer comes built in with cartridge.

First impression, wow I really like it, I didn’t have normal cigarette for last 4 hours, (I would already have 6 at list)

Question:

When I was purchasing the kit, I read info from link e-cig manual on this page at e-cig.com about E9:



section:

IV. Cartridge and e-liquid says that you can use e-juice to reill them.


On the other hand on the page with e-liquid at e-cig.com

it says that E9 cigarettes can not be refilled as the atomizer is built in to the cartridge.
I would never by 2x50ml for total 48$ if the first link would not imply that it is indeed possible, I would just get cigarette that I can refill.

Question: Does anybody have E9 from e-cig.com with atomizer built in cartridge and successfully refilled it? If yes, did you re-fill from the side with the thread or from the mouth piece side, and how much of e-liquid do you add, I have one of those small 1ml syringes where I can pretty exactly dispose any amount.

Please let me know if I didn’t made a mistake and blow money on cig that I can’t refill.

Sebo

I got an e9 from ecig.com, its ok but I prefer the 901. I find the batteries on the e9 only last for 45 mins continuous use, with the 901 I have a usb passthough and only use batteries at work, plus batteries for the e9 are expensive compared to the 901. What I do like with the e9 is the carts have their own atomizer, neat idea but they are expensive new compared with juice and a new 901 atomizer each couple of weeks.

They are a bit more expensive then traditional e-cigs, Mrl, but I like the convenience of the long lasting cartridges and love the huge amounts of vapor. ;)

Sebo, DC2k is right, just pop off the cap and drip onto the fabric roll, avoiding the center tube, until no more soaks in, then blow through to help it settle and let it sit to soak through. Make sure the center is clear or you'll get nasty brown fluid. It will take some practice to get the technique right, but when you do they can last for days with a couple of refills a day.

Thanks Leaford i was wondering about this too, i screwed up and ordered from e-cig too before visiting this forum. I was wondering how you could utilize the fact there is an atomizer on each cartridge. (another bad word for e-cig.com is i ordered on 2/23 i waited awhile with no response and on the 7th business day e-mailed them, their response was "oh we didnt see that you had paid us our mistake" so they didnt ship till 3/6. tracked it and its just now in NY.) really glad i stumbled across this forum! ordered an EVO! still waiting for it too lol.

Leaford, DC2k thanks a lot for tips, worked very well, I popped the cap off, took very small insulin syringe with needle (I have to get bigger needle, with this one takes 1 min to suck 0.3 ml) and inserted in the material that holds the juice, I was trying to stay away from the wire and also from the small tube inside, I just put 0.3ml and juice started to dripp (this was almost new cartridge maybe, 20 puffs)

Guys I still didn’t have regular cigarette, this is unbelievable, I can\have stay with no cigarette for so long only on the long flights and at the end of 8th hour, I’m ready to jack the plane, roll the carpet and light up.
It is nice they have charged the battery; I’m still puffing the first one.

This is so cool, Thanks a lot for all the answers!

BestEcig-Newest Mini E-cigarette|E-cigarette|wholesale e-liquid is where I got my 901. I would urge you to get spares, my atomiser gave out after 5 days, is going to be replaced, but I was without for a while:( . Beci is really good though, he is always responding to emails quickly:)

Im sooooooo tempted to buy an e9. The difficult refilling and small battery are a concern. I suppose I will buy one when the USB version is available

well my e9 came in, there is a little rubber plug in the end of the cart you just pop it out with a paper clip, then drip onto the wound up material. One of my batteries was DOA, the other doesnt seem to last long dunno if its because i have used it alot today because its my first e-cig lol. The usb e9 would be a better choice, i have kept refilling the same cart all day today no problems i havent used it till it was dry yet though im thinking about seeing how long the atomizer will last in the cart. They did however send a lil metal e-cig case that looks like a pen holder i guess because they screwed up by missing that i had paid them

Hello,

I'm new to "vaping" and the e-9 is my first purchase. I think this vape/nic inhaler is awsome. I received mine from China last week and I've been fairly pleased so far. I do have some concerns tho...

I seem to have to really pull hard to get any vape. Is this normal? It seems from all the vids on Youtube that people seem to get quite a bit of vape easily. Am i doing something wrong?

Do you get more vape with higher densities? This is the route that I am thinking about.

This is the website that I am currently using. If any one has had good or bad experiance with them please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have smoked since 15 and have been on and off the last 7 years. Chantix worked well for me untill my nice boss was replace by the....well we call him El Chupacabra.

If you buy it dont get it from ecig.com (with the dash) I did and both batteries are junk, one only worked for about 1 cig then would need recharge, and the other takes 6 1/2 to charge and lasts about 3 cigs. Now 1 week later both are dead. The cartos taste like crap and they will not respond to my emails to return their "guaranteed' crap.

For the same money u can get something thats made a whole lot better.

BTW anyone know why we can't type the name of this crappy cig company name on this forum or it turns into ......

At the top here are other E9 rebrands
A Brief Cartridge and Atomizer Compatiblity Guide | Excellent Electric Cigarette Information!

I do not know which might have easily refillable cartos. You want cartos with soft caps for easy refilling. Many rebranders sell carto units with hard end caps on the mouth end (you may be able to get these out with a fork tine) and some use glued on hard end caps (hard to get these out without mangling). There are some other tricks people use to refill which work with some cartos (dripping slowly in the battery hole or usuing a carto condom to push juice in then blowing out whatever doesn't get absorbed)

here is a video of someone refilling Greensmoke which is also an E9
YouTube - simple cheap refill green smoke e-cigarette cartridge. no nicotine no flavour

Look on Youtube for other examples of E9 refill, or refill of any of the name E9 models in that first link above.
