First Impressions From a Newbie - Cignot Joye 510

[Dirsan]

Hello! I found these forums about a month ago while looking to purchase an e-cig. Real quick, a little backround on me. I've been smoking for about 16 years, 1-1.5 packs of Marlboro Lights. In December I was at a Christmas party and one of my friends (a heavy smoker) had an e-cig. I remember hearing about them a few years ago, but figured they were just a gimmick.

He got it about a week before, and hasn't smoked since. I figured I'd give it a shot. I stupidly thought all e-cigs were the same and purchased a No. 7 (80 bucks for the starter kit) at the local tobacco shop. It just didn't do it for me, I felt like I was smoking air.

I was turned off of them for awhile and finally found these AWESOME forums. After reading and searching the forums, I decided to use Cignot(who are great, my kit came in 3 days to CT.) I ordered the NO BOX PCC JOYE 510 kit. (Ok, sorry, that wasn't "real quick".)

WOW. I got the Marlboro 26MG juice and so far it's amazing. The most important thing for me is throat hit followed by vapor. I can see how so many people are able to quit. I know it's only been a few hours, but so far I'm sold on e-cigs. I only really have one question, should I be re-filling the pre filled carts I got with this kit? I'm not sure if I should be buying empty carts and then use the juice, or I can just use the pre-filled til the filling is shot. Any help appreciated!

They're the same carts, just pre-filled with ejuice.

Congrats! And welcome to the wonderful world of vaping. If you're going to use carts, here's the very best way to mod them that works fantastic. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/79418-highping-cart-mod-simple-gets.html Dripping is by far the best way to get the best flavor from your juice. Cignot carries drip tips too, just make sure to get the size that fits 510 and not the mega size for the mega Ego attys. Good luck and keep up the vape on!

Ty Lyndagayle.... Sometimes the simple stuff is the best...

If you want to rinse them out for any reason before you refill them, this is the best and easiest way in my opinion...

1) Rinse under hot water while squeezing remaining juice out
2) Squish under paper towel to dry until no more water comes out

Welcome to the e-cigs and this forum. Both are great. If you have not done so already, I recommend watching a few of the MistressNomad videos that are stickied to the top of this forum (about the 6th or 7th from the top I think). Her series has a short video for the 510, juices, and cart refill. I also have to agree with Lyndagayle that the Highping Cart Mod is one of the easiest and most economical way to use carts. Good luck.
