Eking out Carto Supply

[katz-in-boots]

My first V4L order was for a battery and 4 packs of cartomizers but only 2 came. V4L have sent the missing packs now, and I've got 2 more orders on the way (Already - Cannot believe it was only Monday when I received my first V4L shipment, feels like so much longer.)

Being in Australia, it takes time for orders to get here (1st took 13 days), and Customs always adds a degree of uncertainty to the time-frame. So I figure I've got at least another week to wait before I get anymore supplies and I'm already down to 8 cartos left.
I've got nicotine-free cartos from other brand, which I can use in between hits, and am already using these when driving. Save my nicotine for when I really need it.

I'm wondering what other people do when you're running low on supplies and know you're probably going to run out before they come?

Sorry can't do much for you now, but in the future, make sure you always have extra juice. You can always reuse cartos, refill about 10 times, then you can boil them out and use them again and again. One of the other options is to add pharmacy-grade pg from a drug store to keep the carto moist until your replacements arrive

Yup,if you add some PG it will be vapable and there may still be some nic left in the carto to hold you over.

Agree with all. An extra bottle of juice, keep in the fridge, is an incredible lifesaver.

There are places to buy Nic suspended in P.G. or V.G...then you can do it yourself with some Lorann's or fairies finest flavorings. This is not the best..but it will do nicely until your supplies get here. I found that fruit flavors are the best to do it yourself. A small plastic bottle..some of the nic juice and a few drops of flavoring. Trust me you will be counting the days til your stock is in! LOL
Better yet do as suggested..get a couple bottles of V4L juice and refill your favorites.

Ms. Katz, I was going to suggest ordering from an Australian company but just realized that it's illegal for them to sale juice with nicotine there. I'm really sorry. I'd be willing to send you some nuport wow or smilin premium (both 24mg), but I'm not sure if it'd get to you any faster than your order...

I'm not sure where you are in Tasmania, but I'm in launceston, I've got heaps of nic juice if you want some to get you through.

I love the people on this forum and in ECF in general..so kind and generous!

You are, all so kind & generous! Thank you.
I don't refill, I use pre-filled cartomizers, so keeping an extra bottle of juice isn't a help.
Automated, great to meet another Tassie here! I'm in Hobart area, so about 2-3 hours away, but thanks for the offer.

Am hoping I can keep myself going. After all, I was on 0mg for about 3 weeks, so ought to be able to cope - if I breathe slowly & steadily and repeat Ohm to myself a lot. (Of course it's more likely I'll be repeating OMG or 0mg).
