Hello everyone, I'm new to ECF. This is actually my first post. I gotta post 5, so I can trade some e-liquid I have on the trade part of the forum. I have 1/2 of a 30ml bottle of TastyVapor 48mg/ml tobacco (100%PG) and 1/2 of a 4oz bottle of a tobacco doubler (70%PG/30%VG). I would prefer to trade it for supplies instead of more e-liquid. Can I do that?

Me again. I suppose while I'm here, I may as well post my relevant info (or at least my two cents). I was given an NJOY NPRO a while back to try out, and really couldn't get past the taste. I tossed it aside in favor of my Viginia Slims and decided to wait 'till the right time to try again. In the meantime, a friend of a friend let me try her V4L, smoke flavor and butterscotch flavor. I was pretty impressed with the smoke flavor, though it didn't compare to my VSs of course. I was hesitant to try the butterscotch. What can I say, I was rather uninformed, and thought that the idea of smoking an e-cig that tasted like candy was rather weird. It was bizarre, but I was really surprised to discover that it tasted really good. I kept the biz card and kept on smoking. The next time I came across my NPRO, I decided to order some cartridges and give it a shot. They sat in my cupboard until March 2nd of this year. I have been reading up on e-cigs, and have been trying to understand all of the relevant info. So far, this site has been my best find. I've followed links down the yellow brick road, watched some videos, and took a ton of notes. I ordered a starter kit from V4L and have begun using my NPRO regularly. I was smoking 1 1/2 packs a day on average. On 3/1 I smoked 20 cigarettes and tried to get used to the NPRO. On 3/2 I was at 18 cigarettes and refining my technique on the NPRO. Yesterday, I smoked 12 cigarettes and began getting the hang of it a little more.
I don't care for the NPRO's flavor, and it seems to have a good bit of aftertaste, but it's replacing my cigarettes, so I'll put up with it until my V4L starter kit gets here.
I really appreciate everyone's input on this site. I have taken a ton of notes, and have found so many answers to what I'm sure are the basic beginner's questions. You guys are great!

Now for my second post.....

I've been looking to get some new cartomizers, but I'm not sure what to get. I have mostly rn4081 batteries (3.7V), a few 510 batteries and a 5V passthrough. I know there's a difference between the lower and higher resistance cartos, but I'm not sure what to get. Should I get different cartos for each thing I use? (I know I can't put 510 cartos on a rn4081 battery, but I mean)... should I use a lower resistance cartomizer on the 5V passthrough and higher resistance ones on the 3.7v batteries? I just ordered a bunch of cartomizers from AZsmokefree.com, but now after watching some of Dave's (QCAssociates) videos on youtube I'm starting to think I made a mistake. I spent all my money on them, so I'm hoping someone will trade me some for this TastyVapor tobacco e-liquid I have. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hey Rappel_Welch. It's good you're atleast using it. I got a kit from Safe Cig for $150 bucks and I don't even use it. I only use the $15 passthrough I got lately. I tried to get Safe Cig to refund my money because I didn't have it for a whole month, but it seems like they're ignoring me. I don't know much about V4L, but I heard their kits are pretty good. I really liked the Safe Cig kit at first and their tobacco flavor is amazing. It was really good. It's 2.50 for each prefilled carto though and they're definitely not worth 2 packs each like www.ecigarettereviews.com says. I think they say that because they get 20% of the money everytime someone uses their coupon code. Which means that they got $30 bucks from my order. I used their coupon code because they were the ones that swayed me towards Safe Cig. Now I wish I didn't get them any money. I'm just aggrevated they lied to me. I thought it was gonna be $1.25 for a packs worth. who nows that may be why Safe Cig don't wanna refund my money. They gave the guy $30 bucks and now I want my money back. I'm still gonna keep hastling them until I get my money back though. Alright, I hope you like your V4L kit.

Hi all,
I started vaping 2 weeks ago. Im using a Joye eGo ( Joye eGo-T starter kit with normal eGo batteries - Joye eGo-T starter kits Heaven Gifts ) and ejuice from freedomsmokeusa.com. the ecig is working greate. However im getting a kind of seek from using this thing? I feel that i get the nicotine dose, but 10 min later i feel really bad, like having a flu, and it last for several houres. Anyone experienced this?
Im not even vaping that mutch, about 9 drips a day. (I did smoke for 27 years)

Hello again. I received my V4L starter kit yesterday. What a difference between this product and the NJOY NPRO. Sooooo much smoother. I did get a goodly number of free samples thrown in with my order, which was a nice touch. I suppose my only complaint is that I ordered 24mg carts and when I got my kit, the enclosed invoice noted that the 24mg carts were out of stock and they took it upon themselves to send me 18mg carts. Not exactly cool in my book. I don't expect a business of any sort to substitute an ordered product without my consent. I don't recall reading a disclosure to that effect on the web site. I did notice a comment box on the order page when I placed my order, so I suppose I could ask that they not substitute product, or at least provide them with a second option in case they are out of stock. I guess I'll just have to see. I placed my second order for carts before the kit arrived, so it will be interesting to see if I get what I paid for. If anyone else knows any tricks to using their system, I'd appreciate any input. That said, I really love the product so far.

Such a helpful thread, I know we do not recommend specific vendors so I'm not asking for that. What I am asking for is particular to the 510 ATTY. I just ordered a MOD and need a 510 atty for it. They seem to run about 8 bucks apiece. But, then as you read through they start stating they are not a JOYE original, etc. Question - is a 510 Atty a 510 Atty, there is not a whole lot of price difference, does it matter who made it?
