First off I got my first e-cig an M402 the first week of April and I was so disappointed with the performance, both the vapor and the battery, that I thought I could never make the switch to e-cigs over analogs.

I didn't give up though, I came back in to this forum and read through as much as could to see what people who were happiest were using, it looked like the pen style or 901 was what was working for a lot of people but, I just didn't like the look of them they wern't what I wanted to hold and use or take out in public.

I was going through the vendors forum I came in here (vapornine) and saw the nebula pre-order thread, I took one look at it (the Nebula) and thought this thing looks sick, and it promised performance so I took the chance and bought one on the pre-order, WOW I am so happy I did.

This is what I was looking for when I made the switch to e smoking. After being so utterly dissapointed with my first one, this is just a dream and a pleasure to use, smooth draw, loads of vapor and a nice kick. I just can't say enuff how much I am loving this e-cig. I got this at 9:00AM and put the battery on the charger till 3:00PM. I have been vaping since then pretty steadily, about every hour I have been dripping 2-3 drops of juice in the battery side of the cart, it's easy and I don't want to take the chance of drying the cart out, don't know that I would have to drip but the hits are just too good this way, I had not noticed a drop in vapor I just didn't want to. It's been 4 1/2 hours since I started vaping and still no drop in battery performance gotta love that :D

All in all a great e-cig thank you Ben! Let's hope the FEDS don't ruin this for us with there BS.

Sorry for the long winded post:rolleyes:

Well I did not mean for it to sound like an infomercial... I guess I was just happy that this works so good, it has been such a battle to sty off cigs with what I had, I'm just glad to have something that I like a lot.

Like I said I did not give up, I came back into this forum and learned all I could to make my e-smoking better, so yea I learned about dripping topping off etc...

Umm... it's 8:30PM

Take care,

-Dan

I'm digging on this Nebula too. I tried a 901, then a Ruyan Jazz, & 3rd time's the charm. Really pulls like a cigarette, & it worked out just when I needed it, when I have a buzz on & I'm about to start bumming smokes. Topped it off a few times, just a little bit, & the Carolina Tobacco liquid is just fine. The atomizer put out consistently, & a few times it really rocked it. To sum, I got my swerve on, & the Nebula brought the win, & I didn't bum any cigarettes.

Well...I received my Nebula early Saturday morn and promptly started the battery charging process. At this point I've only been using it for less than 24 hours but i have to say that so far im quite pleased with its performance (although the cart did not last as long as advertised around town of course)...and compared to my first ecig (an M401) im really impressed because i feel this new Neb BLOWS away my 401 as far as throat hit and convenience.

Time will tell how consistently purchased carts will perform, and how well the batteries hold up over their lifespan but if all stays like it is right now id say my 401 will be history, heh.

Throat hit is way beyond what i was getting with my 401, which for me is a good thing because i need something really strong, especially first thing in the morning when my taste buds are still sleeping :)...im getting twice the vapor as compared to my 401 (once you figure out the proper dragging technique)...and the fantastic convenience of being able to take this outside of the home for several hours while running errands all day and never needing to drip or change a cart during that period is without a doubt a welcomed, refreshing and much appreciated experience!

I wish the cart lasted me longer (i think i got about 100 long drags out of it, plus a short-medium primer drag with each long drag) but i refilled (using the cap popping technique through the top) successfully...and although the vapor and throat hit isnt quite up to par as when using a new fresh cart its still beats my 401 just the same.

Still more learning curve to go here (naturally) but im excited about this for sure!

Thank you Ben and Alex for sticking it out through all the FDA troubles and risks...I hope you can provide batts and carts for this baby for a long time to come (keeping fingers crossed!)

Got mine a couple of days ago. Only real complaint is that the carts that come with it are prefilled(?) and I'm not fond of the taste. This design leaves you no option but to vape the contents of a cart before refilling with something else (also got a bottle of chocolate and pepsi from you). One or two blanks might have been a nice addition to this starter kit but so far that is my only problem with it. Hasn't quite replaced our 901s yet but we'll see.

Yeah, the liquid in the pre-filled carts isn't as good as the Carolina Tobacco that I picked up. What's everybody else dropping into the cartomizers, from Vapornine or elsewhere? Don't think I'll have a problem with regularly running through the pre-filled liquid, then topping off with something better.


I've been dripping red bull from V9, and Tennessee Cured from JC, I like them both, but, taste is so subjective, what someone loves the next person will think it taste like ... :p after I tried the red bull I am open to try some different flavors other than tobacco so I'm off to read some reviews again on the juice forum with more of an open mind.

I received and immediately plugged in my Nebula upon arrival approximately an hour ago. From what I could discern from the Engrish (lol), it said I should charge it for 8 hours until the light turns blue but the light is already green. I'm thinking in the translation that there is no blue light.
But if so, is the 8 hours really necessary?
How long did you all charge the battery for the first time?

Hmm.. I got my Nebulas on Friday and after painfully waiting out another work shift waiting to charge, got to try it Late Friday night. This thing rocks is all I can say.

After almost 4 days of pretty much constant vaping, I've noticed these things:

1. best consistent vapor and throat hit, even when the cart's getting dry.
2. Easy to top off, something I was worried about (just sucks right down in the hole, nice!)
3. Smooth, easy (albeit noisy) draw.
4. Good but not great battery life so far. Maybe because I tend to take pretty long drags in quick succession. Other batteries I get a bit of warning with waning throat hit well before the battery dies. With this one, it's more like 5 non-throat hit draws and a blinking light.
5. Still topping the cart that came with it. 15-20 drops 2 or so times a day and 5-10 before I leave the house for work. For the guy worrying about flavor, I've used E-Smokeytreat's Watermelon, Vapornine's Carolina, and BestECig's Cherry and Apple in this one so far, and as long as the one before's gone down a bit, it takes on the new flavor pretty readily. Highly recommend letting it sit for 10-15 minutes after topping up to let the cart settle.
6. Overall, this is my 4th different type of e-cig and is definitely my favorite so far. Hate throwing things away, so once this cartomizer finally starts getting funky, I'll open it up and play. This one and my blue 901 from Phil are my go-to ones for in the car and out and about, and this one and my Rio also from Vapornine are my faves for in the house. The BestECig penstyles are fine as well, but the batteries get tripped by my car stereo and fry all my fluid on the way to work....

Yea, ya gotta love the translation to engrish no doubt. Mine turn green in about an hour, but I did not want to take a chance with the battery so I left it on for 6 hours to be safe, but, I also could not wait any longer to use it. batterys have been lasting me about 4 hrs, My 402 mini might go 1 1/2 hrs so I am happy with the battery perforamnce so far.
