woohoo.. it's all here! gotta say they're pretty!

I have charges happening as I type.. tried a nano on the pass thru already - what a difference in taste! I went with my 0mg dark chocolate and mmmmmmm
big time vapor difference too. The cartridge that came with the starter kit.. meh.. rubber taste from the cart housing did not impress me. So glad I took yall's recommendations and got a few nanos

And yall were right on the other thing.. I did not get enough usb thingees.. thought I did but nopers. I'm hoping to get 2 of the 78mm's charged tonight and of course the 1300. It's bad to get one charging and go to bed right? Once it's charged, it's pretty important to unplug it right away?

It's better to unplug it when charged. They do stop when charged though - You'll see the LED light go out on the X2, and the usb charger light go green on the Volts - their LED end light turns off too. So if they are on the charger a bit longer it's ok.
As a general safety rule it's better not to leave any batts charging too much longer than they need tho.

sigh.. everybody is all charged up.. LED's gone out and I have one battery (78mm Rainbow) that the light comes on for a draw but nothing happens after that (several nano's tried on it)
and one nano that doesn't do anything - again swapped around to working batteries and the nano still didn't do anything

note sent to CS..
so glad I ordered extra stuff.. at least I have a couple that I can use right now

The centre pin may not be connecting on the batt. That can be adjusted - or just let CS send you another one. :)

I knew I should have ordered one more nano .. just in case
Don't bother with anymore nanos, i had two and i thought they were junk IMO. Your best off sticking with the prefilled cartos. Desert Joe,555 Ry4,Menthol Burst,Ice Menthol,Mint and Grape are ones i have tried and liked everyone of them. Plus you can get the blank cartos and fill them yourself.

For the X2 get the clearomizers that propagandax posted a link to on page three. Ultimately you shouldnt have gotten any cig style batts, Just several X2's. i am done with my cig style batts, i have an Ego kit coming. Charging the cig style batts every time they die is a PIA even with four in rotation.

I already like the nanos though ~~ The carto's tasted like rubber to me - not the fill but the finish on the outside - and I'm digging the drip tip shape too. I do have my own juices that I like.

Ultimately.. I want the cig style batts.. I didn't want to get anything much bigger and even the x2 is a tad on the clunky side for me. Hubby has an E-cab that neither of us like very much because of the manual button - we both prefer the automatic batteries.

Both of us are in our 50s and kind of set on the ciggy style so if that means charging em up a lot - that's how it goes. After the two weeks with the 401's .. this is a dream come true

CS is wonderful with Smokeless Image,,,,,,,,,they''ll give you a new one :)

and MAN that was fast shipping!!!!!

and you can get cartos that have no finish on the outside,,,,,,,the silver/chrome ones.

or just peel the finish off the carto,,,,,use a bit of goo be gone to get the residual sticky off. but don't get the goo be gone INSIDE the carto :lol:

Most people...no, I'll just say MANY people, at some point advance up to a bigger battery, whether it be the X2 passthru or on to the big battery mods. Once you get past the form factor that the battery has to be near the size of a cigarette, you will get better performance and a better vape with larger batteries.

With batteries and performance, BIGGER IS BETTER. That is the reason I went with the big battery tube mods. The size of them and being seen out in public with them is no longer a concern to me. No one really cares. Now I can go an entire day on just one battery and tankfull of juice. Sometimes two.

Having said that, the X2 paired with a clearomizer is a nice little vaping machine...if the clearomizer works and/or doesn't leak. The manual batteries I feel are superior to the autos in case any juice leaks on the battery, it won't get fried. The auto's really aren't that juice-proof. The CE3's are nice, too. I never got around to trying the Nano, so can't comment on them.

The X2-T3 looks promising once it becomes available.
