Getting the Most out of my Mistake

[fallofshadows]

Well, I was at a mall with my friend and decided I was going to pick up some smoking everywhere e cigs... Yep, you guys know where this story is heading.

I only ended up paying 60 dollars for the gold package, so I guess I didn't get ripped off as badly as I could have. The battery is sortof meh, and the atomizer hasn't burnt out yet after 3 days, so I guess I'm off to a good start : P My problem is, these carts don't last for crap...

For some reason, my cartridges have all run out, except for one. Considering these things are supposed to last as long as a pack of cigs, that's really bad, especially considering I only smoked 5-10 a day : /

Is there any way to use any remaining e juice left in the cartridges, or are they done? It sucks that I'm down to my last one out of 7, I figured these things would last me at least until college, which is the end of this month...

Also, I am annoyingly full of questions, which I am refraining from spamming the forums with lol. If anyone wouldn't mind answering a ton of questions through a PM discussion, please let me know. I like vaping (I really can't stand normal cigs any more) but I need to be sure I can afford it and stop making dumb mistakes like I have already.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Fall, welcome to the forum. Not sure of all the answers, but I have the same kit. You can find information here and on the web on how to restuff your existing carts, just need to pick up a bottle of juice. The attys for these are pretty good, if they start to gurgle, take it off the battery and blow thru the end that joins the battery, sometime they get a little flooded and ya don't want to ruin your battery, Oh and they lie - go figure, you may get a few cigs out of a cart, but restuffing can save ya a bundle. Also check out the model specific forum RN4081, this is the actual model and lot's of help there for sure! Vchick

Sweet, I had no idea what model it was. Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out.

Another random question: How much would a 10ml bottle of e juice equate to in cigarettes? I'm not talking nicotine content as much as I'm talking puffs/smoke time.

Wow, thanks a ton! I wish I had seen all of this info before I bought my e cig...

Either way, it's very reassuring to know that even though I got ripped off by Smoking Everywhere, I am going to be able to recover from this mistake. I'm also happy about the reviews I see about the new attys for this model : )

And thanks a lot to those who have helped me so far. I hate being a noob on forums, I generally just get attacked for asking stupid questions, but you guys have been awesome!

I got the Npro which I think is the same thing at a mall one time
Paid $75 and got all sorts of extra junk with it
The cartridges are painfully small , for sure

I wasn't too displeased with the Npro but the atomizers get tough to use, quickly

The little 10ml bottle will last most people quite a little bit.
I think, for me, it'd be equal to at least a couple of packs of cigarettes... If not more!

Welcome, I think the average use is 1-3ml per day. If you check the supplier forum on here, you can find great sales and deals so can probably get 30ml almost as cheap as 10ml. A lot of suppliers have coupon codes to save more money. Check out the classifieds for great deals on a variety of liquid you can try. One of my favorites is Tasty Vapor and their prices are great.

If you need any help, pm me and I will try to answer questions. I do work so mostly check on here in the evenings and I am west coast time.

I got an SE gold as my first ecig too. Currently use my own mods with 510 attys. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer em too. ^_^ Although since you have a thread there's really no harm in filling it with questions. Gotta do something with all the info I've absorbed about these things... lol

 

[CaptJay]

Its really not a bad model its just overpriced with crap carts lol
Ask your questions - what else do you think we are here for? lol

 

[fallofshadows]

Lol well for starters, I need to make sure this is something I wish to continue. I'm heading off to college at the end of this month, which means money will be SUPER hard to come by. I've already shelled out 60 dollars to start vaping, but is this something I'm going to be able to afford in the future? It it comes down to vaping vs my phone (droid incredible, costs quite a bit per month lol) then I'm going to pick the phone cause I use it more.

I guess my situation is different than a lot of vapors', because I'm not really addicted to nicotine. I've smoked for a while, and I've run through my carts that came with my e cig, but I really don't feel any nicotine withdraw symptoms. I think the biggest "addiction" factor about smoking/vaping is I like the flavor and I love playing with smoke/vapor.

I guess that's where I stand right now. Is this something I should continue? I really like it (I went through my battery TWICE yesterday lol) but if this is something that's going to kill my wallet, I simply can't afford it : /

 

[CaptJay]

If you buy prefilled carts then yes it will cost a lot - especially from SE. If youre filling your own then it shoud be cheaper. a 1 oz bottle of juice costing around $15 lasts me just under a month and I vape alot. There's no requirement to have a ton of flavors kicking around if cash is an issue - just get one flavor that you enjoy and stick with it.
You can also buy 0 nic juices - so no need to mess with nic at all if you dont want to.

 

[fallofshadows]

A 15 dollar bottle lasts a month? That's pretty awesome, def something affordable. When you say you vape a lot, what would you describe as a lot? Just curious.

I used to smoke anywhere from 3-10 cigarettes per day.
I use at most about 0.75ml of smoke juice in a day.
