Green Smoke

[jojogardener]

Anyone have a Green Smoke?
The Cartomizers are on back order and Im freaking out!!!
Nothing else seems to work - they are 808D-2 and I cant find a source.
Im also looking for PCC - portable charging case

 

[stompasaurus]

lecig.com has 808D-2 cartomizers, possibly other Green Smoke-compatible supplies but I'm not too familiar with that model. Good luck!

Try vapure. When I still had a greensmoke I contacted them and they said the threads were the same

Had - as in past tense....hmmm not a good sign.
I think I may have jumped the gun ( new buyer syndrome ) and bought where I shouldnt have bought............
uggggg

 

[jojogardener]

Rimp
did you just contact them or buy them?

 

[RIMP]

I just contacted them with question on compatibility. I use 510 atty on a Bartelby and chuck now Greensmoke carts are so expensive, along with expensive batts. I sent it back and asked for a refund, which I got minus the carts and shipping

lecig carries cartomizers that fit fine on greensmoke battery. They are called D2 and are superior in quality compared to the greensmoke cartomizers. Are you refilling your cartz or just throwing them away?

I have purchased these and know they fit fine since I own a greensmoke battery.

 

[jojogardener]

I got wrid of the 1st two packs, stupid me....then learned that they could be refilled .... another member has been kind enough to send me a little juice for me to try.
Ok - well, if the carts from lecig fit, then the pcc should work too - right?
the bats are not lasting very long and Im frustrated with constantly having to charge them

Hi Folk,

Just thought I would chime in here and relate the differences I have discovered. I have been vaping for about three months and have tried products from LeCig, Vapor 4 Life and Green Smoke.

First, the leCig D-2 and Green Smoke cartomizers do have the same threads and they are interchangeable in that respect. In fact, the LeCig D-2 cartos will work with the Green Smoke batteries. However, without modifications, the Green Smoke cartos will not work on the LeCig USB pass-through (or batteries if they are identical to the pass-through). The problem lies in the way the two systems have the air vents designed. The LeCig D-2 cartos have notches in their cartos to allow air flow. The Green Smoke cartos have no air vents and are pretty much air tight where they connect to the battery. The Green Smokes air vents are located at the tip of the battery by the LED. There, clear as mud?

There is a quick and easy work-around to get the Green Smoke cartos working on the LeCig USB pass-through (and batteries?). I just pulled out the old Dremel and cut a few small notches at the base of the carto. Instant air vents! Worked very well.

Now, having rambled through that, I'm going to relate my own experience and opinions of the three brands. The may differ widely from yours.

The Green Smokes do produce superior vapor. BY FAR! I don't know how or why, they just do. But, they are just too smooth for me. Minimal throat hit and, as I'm trying to replicate the analog experience, they just didn't work for me. Also, nasty, burned paper taste about halfway through the carts.

The LeCigs produced less vapor but slightly stronger throat hit. But not enough to feel like the "real thing" for me. They also suffered from the burned paper taste about halfway through the carto. Bleh!

The Vapor 4 Life has been a totally different experience. Particularly with the newer "Premium" cartos which are a mix of VG (vegetable glycerin) and PG (propylene glycol). The vapor is ok. Not as good as Green Smoke but very acceptable. But, WOW! The throat hit is second to none. In fact, it may take you back to the day of your first analog. The upside is that you don't have to "puff-puff-puff-puff" in search of the "hit" and the smaller, single puffs make the cartos last longer without slamming into the "burned paper flavor" wall. And, the flavors are really nice.

So, I hope this rambling treatise is useful to someone. It's 0200 and I'm running on empty. I've basically quit trying to quit the nicotine addiction but really want to get away from tobacco use. I think the e-cigs may be the best hope for that. I'm not totally off the tobacco but I am down to about 3-4 analogs a day.

Anyway, best wishes and success to you all,
Jim

jojogardener, you can have a pass through if you do not want to charge the batt.

Bloog carts fit on the GreenSmoke (but extremely light vapor and hardly any taste when mated to the GreenSmoke batteries). Greensmoke sure knows how to make a cartomizer.

In all honesty, if you like cartomizer style e-cigs, there are plenty of kits from suppliers like the Vapor King at Vapor4life. Well supported, cheaper startup prices, with PCC's, lots of flavors to choose from, cheaper batteries, and a whole lot more value for your money imo.

I would get some blank carto's and buy your juice elsewhere though. I haven't been impressed with most of the juices in any prefilled cartomisers, except the vanilla from greensmoke (and my wife really liked greensmoke's chocolate).

I still have my GreenSmoke, but I rarely use it now (like the times when I get a craving for the best vanilla flavor I've tried in an e-cig so far).

if the cartos get that burned taste, do they need to be thown out, or can they be re-filled?
I am having trouble deciding if I want to return the GS for refund.
The vapor is awsome, but the bat life sucks.........and they want 70.00 for a PCC.
No-one else has one that will fit.
I dont have much knowledge on mods, nor the time to research and implement....
kinda hectic life.....run, run, run all of the time - if you know what I mean.....

If they get a burned out taste, yeah, it's dead and will always have a funkier taste if you refill it. It's best to always kind of top it off. Every 10 or so puffs, drip in another couple of drops of your favorite liquid.

Since you're already invested in the GreenSmoke, I'd almost say keep it until it dies and start testing out another e-cig.

I review quite a few models that I owned since purchasing the GreenSmoke, you can check out my thoughts here

I have bunches of lecig d2 cartz and never had an issue with burnt taste. I will also note that I never let them get dry. Also my vapor4life cartomizers do NOT fit on my e9 aka greensmoke battery. V4l premium and regular cartz are made to fit a kr8.

On a side note, there is nothing wrong with a greensmoke. No reason to switch unless you are unhappy with it. You are just limited to how many vendors you can purchase parts from. ALL cartomizers will eventually burn out and all batteries will die. So if you are happy stick with what got you off those cigs and dont spend tons of money always looking for "something better".

 

[jojogardener]

thanks - i returne the GS and got some v4l bats with mods and 501 cartos....
another member has been kind enough to learn the ropes.....
the burnt taste with GS did it for me.....not a good thing
i found that the 501 carts with v4l and mods have a nice throat hit and much more satisfying in general...plus the bats last a hell of a lot longer.....
thanks!

I just started using GS at the beginning of March.

My experience:

Pros:

• Very tasty flavors (Chocolate, Coffee, and Tobacco are my favorite)
• Great Customer Service (they're very patient with you)
• TONS of vapor

Cons:

• Short battery life
• Expensive Cartridges
• Short Cartridge Life (20-30 puffs)

For $133.95 I expected to get a lot more bang for my buck, however it is tolerable for now - until I save up enough to get a better one.

I am afraid you own the citron, of sets. Hard to get parts. Its a lot cheaper to pick up a V4L set with standard or long batts and a couple three boxes of carts and be done with it till you need parts.

(don't make the shorty batt mistake, or you will need multiple chargers to keep up)

V4L always has some stock even if its not the flashy color you want they carry enough to get by while you are waiting for the special one to show. As you know the carts are neat and not so messy to work with except at filling time. I picked up a 901 set as well. Messy as they come but they work on the V4L batts and if a carto isn't in stock, as long as you have juice, you can wait it out. I have also modded the 901 batts to fit V4L carts so its a win win with everything fitting together and using the same chargers, etc. Perfect mix choice of strong or light and whispy vapor.

Juice is everything. 30ml bottles are the way.

Thanks Brew...
Ya, I think I will stick with an 808D - not sure where Im buying yet, but Im sure I will make up my mind soon...........the 2 piece is right for me at this time......

I think the Kr8 is a good kit to begin with for someone who doesn't have the time to fiddle around. Well, any cartomizer unit is. But the Kr8 is much more readily available than any of the other two-piece models at this time. You can branch out and try other models if you would like once you get settled with something that works for you!

I, personally, get blank cartomizers and fill them with my own liquid. I don't really like any of the pre-filled flavors. But that is me. The pre-filled ones may be your cup of tea. Regardless, refilling using the condom fill method is a snap.

Good luck on your venture!
