Gamucci help please newbie

[coag]

Hi all you good folks
could somebody help me,i purchased a Gamucci micro2 about 3 weeks ago,i realise from reading some of the forum people dont rate this e cig but i already purchased.
I have found it quite good for myself and have stopped smoking 30 aday ciggs.
my problem is how expensive it is to buy the cartridges,ive being paying about £5 for packet of five and there is no way one of these is equivelent to 15 ciggs as stated on the packet.
i use about 1 refill for every cigg replaced which is costing me a fortune.
I have read about buying refill juice,i have 2 questions is it ok to refill the gamucci micro and where is a good company to buy from.

many thanks coag

You could always just cut your losses and buy a 510 starter kit for the price of 30 of those gamucci carts? The starter kit usually contains carts anyway, which would negate the purchase price against merely buying more gamucci carts.

Gamucci are sold at several of the Indian reservation shops in newyork there 17$ bit high but they sell them.

i think the Gammuci micro is a KR808D-1 kit with short batteries, you should be able to buy KR808D-1 cartomizers from anywhere and they should work.

I don't know about that specific ecig, but most carts and most cartomizers can be refilled. If your cig is a two piece then you have cartomizers and you will have to disassemble them a bit to refill. If it is a three piece you should be able to very easily refill the cart. As someone more knowledgeable than I stated they might be a KR-808 cartomizer. If you do a search for that, you should find many links here showing how to refill them.

Most people who start vaping on a 'brand name' over the counter e-cig usually end up disappointed, or at the very least experience a 'come down to earth' from their initial elation at vaping.
They then, usually, promote themselves up to a Titan/Joye 510 (or, as of now, an eGo/Tornado with bigger battery). You can read a lot about them throughout this forum, and in the model specific forum.
As has been said, I also have no problem with KR808D1 cartomisers and they hold their own as a rather nice vape too. However, Gamucci carts will cost you more money than 510 carts or KR808D1 cartos in the long run, so the smart money usually upgrades from a mall bought e-cig. That is if you intend to be a mid-long term user.

I'm always amazed at how fast people jump to "Ditch what you got and get a 510"

After a simple google search, it's clear to see that the Gamucci Micro is a 3 piece.
Battery, Atomizer, Cartridge.

So yes, your cartridges can be refilled. You don't have to keep buying the prefilled ones.
However, the filler material (usually some kind of polyfill or cotton like material) will wear out, and you'll have to get into Mods. I prefer the PTB mod, but many like Blue Foam and Fluval. You can find lots of information on how to refill cartridges here
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/72839-cart-mods-how-refill.html
And don't worry if they don't mention your specific model:
Ecigs are like cars. There are tons of different brands, but they ALL do the same thing and work pretty much the same way. Some vaporize the liquid more efficiently, some give better Throat Hit or more vapor volume, some look more stylish. But they ALL work pretty much exactly the same way.


Most people here seem to like TastyVapor for their Eliquid.
But just click on the "Forum Suppliers" link at the top of the forum, and you'll find TONS of suppliers that have been found to be reputable by the ECF forum.

I was merely saying that usually people end up with a 510. I was not saying definitively that he should dump the Gamucci, merely that most start-ups end up with a 510 after weighing up the cost benefits and usability factor.

I think the only reason for everyone wanting the op to get a 510 is because they want him/her to have a good experience with vaping..Thats not going to happen with a Gamucci..I know from experience that was my first e-cig..Like someone else said cut your losse's and ditch the Gamucci... order you a 510 with some juice and forget about it

Did you all not read the OP??

Quoted

I have found it quite good for myself and have stopped smoking 30 aday ciggs.

The OP's only complaint was the cost of Cartridges.
And I think it's fair to say if we all only bought prefilled cartridges for ALL Ecigs, then we would all probably have the same complaint.

I don't think that it's necessarily the 510-aspect...

Unless you start out with a "fully-loaded" (LOL, car reference) model, you are are ways going to want the next step up. Personally, I think anyone who is looking to move off of analogs for good should start out with the eGo/Tornado, it seems to be the best "starting" kit right now.... But what do I know, LOL, I just started.

Hi All
thanks for all your good advice im sticking with the Gamucci for the moment and will prob upgrade at some point.
I brought some juice from one of the companys on your forum IVapour and am pleased with the results.
Is about £10 for a 24 mg x 20ml bottle about the correct price i should be paying ?also do any companies offer you any free trials for other flavours ?

thanks again
