Got my Kit Today!!

[mel_vin]

All I can say is wow! Really impressed with the quality of the packaging and the product did not disapoint! I got the premium carts, and with the manual battery, I was really impressed with the amount of vapor I could get the thing to do. I had all the smokers arround me all in awe lol. I think I may have converted 2 of them today, gave them Mark's card


So my fellow friends I have A few questions for you:

Anyone try the Premium Carts vs the Standard Ones from V4L? I orderd the premiums from reviews, but that was before I new about this V4L specific forum.

Next question would be Auto vs Manual battery. I got the Manual kit. Kinda wish you could have chose to have 1 of each to compare. Maybe cause its still my first day, i just feel awkward holding it pressing the button while taking a "drag". In terms of performance/ draw your thoughts on the auto bat?

Last, has anyone try the short battery? Again from feeling, the standard battery feels a mile long in my hand. I was a stuby smoker so its what I was used to. If you have used the short, whats the bat life on that like?

All in all, I am a very satisfied customer, and felt like a sales rep to all alot of people today lol, it was kinda fun . It took exactly 1 week from order to recieve here in Canada, not bad considering customs.

I love love love the manual. The autos you have to suck super hard to get a good hit, with manuals you control the hit and get much more vapor with them. It takes a few days to get used the button, just like it took you a few days to get used to the cigs!

The premiums are the new and improved cartomizers, more vapor, more flavor.

Just keep in mind vaping is not the same as smokin, but it's close. Give it time and you'll get used to everything

The only draw back with the shorty is , well, shorter batter life. 2-3 hours maybe. The regs last quite long! Eventually you will buy an XL, in the beginning I was hesistent because of the size, but now it's all I use, 5-8 hour battery life! Hell yeah!

Try a shorty and and auto battery for comparison purposes. We all have different preferences, so who knows what you'll like!

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping, it will only get better I promise.

Welcome Mel!
Kimmy took care of all your questions
She is right, Manual is the best, I have tried them all.
Good luck and enjoy!

ease of draw is important...I think I will get the shorty battery in my next order, this way I knock off 2 things at once...since its an auto bat as well.

I was pretty impressed with the manual...one other question, I am noticing some crackling/poping when I press the button and taking a drag. THis normal for a cart?

Welcome, Mel. Toronto? Then you have two options:

1. Read this forum for hours until you pass out, like we all do; or

2. Take Born out to dinner. It will cost you, but you'll become an expert in no time flat. His real name is Bornagainst, but we call him, affectionately, Born. He's the maven. The grandwizard of vaping. And he's your neighbor.

Other than that, trial and error. Have fun. We're here to help.

Hey Mel.

To be quite honest, the manuals do work a whole lot better in the long run.

I love the shorties as they are the most convenient and resemble and analog...but when I am at home/work/school, the XL's rock for me.

Since you are local, drop me a PM. I'll hook ya up with an auto shortie and XL. You can test the waters.

Pop, snap, crackle. It's all good. It's having fun. Enjoy.

Sizzling (I guess crackling popping) = good
Gurgling = bad—too much fluid in cartomizer

mel_vin, the popping sound is normal for premium carts. It doesn't happen on the regular carts. I think the popping sound is pretty cool.

That's the Born. Didn't I tell you? Buy him dinner. You won't regret it.

 

[bornagainst]

I expect presents, and I expect them often....

BWAHAHAHAHA.

 

[mel_vin]

Yeah Born rocks, he has taken the time to help me out in the past.

Born thats a real nice offer and may take you up on that! Maybe we can grab a coffee or somethin. Maybe sometime next week. I am north of the city, but I'm down that way every couple of weeks in the beaches area. I'll PM ya bout it!

 

[mel_vin]

Thanks all. I had only tried someone's 401 before and it was pretty silent, so I wasnt sure if the sound was normal for the 1 piece system. Everyone is just so great here!

No problem man! I am on the subway/streetcar line easy enough. Let me know!
