Hi all! I've been lurking for a few days and thought I should get in here and introduce myself then participate. :p

I started smoking a pack a day about 22 years ago. I actually quit by using the patch for over 3 months about 11 years ago, but then had to drive over 2000 miles by myself. There's just something about long drives and smoking... :oops: Then, I was hospitalized with deep vein thrombosis (blood clots) in my right leg about 2 years ago. That switched me into 'super health nut' mode. I now eat right and exercise regularly. I even went from 245 lbs to 175 lbs at 6 ft; so for that alone, it has been worth it. My lingering demon has been tobacco... until now.

I purchased my first vape kit (Cig2O menthol) at the local smoke shop this past Saturday on the recommendation of a coworker who had purchased his first e-cig 2 weeks before. I had 5 analogs left when I made the purchase and they lasted me 3 days! By the second analog of the five, I realized vaping is way more enjoyable for several reasons other than the obvious health concerns. Of course, I still smoked the last three... :facepalm: I honestly don't believe I will feel the need for another anolog ever! Well... as long as my order of cartos, batteries and juice from V4L on Monday gets here before my last 3 intro cartos are gone. :closedeyes: Mayhaps I'll just grab a 5 pack from the local shop if it comes down to the wire. I would like to try the chocolate...

Anyhoot, I've already learned a ton just lurking here on the forums and watching several members' videos on youtube! Thanks a billion for the ECF community; you guys and gals rock!

Now, where can a vaponewb acquire kr808d-1 compatible connectors to get his mod on without destroying his brand new batteries? lol! :vapor:

Yeah.....cartos (despite their being called disposable) are MEANT to be refilled. It's the sensible (cheap) way to do it. Do you have any juice? Gotta get you some juice.... What are you trying to connect? You mean an adapter so you can use differently threaded cartos on your KR808 battery? Sorry to be dense, but I'm not sure what you're looking for..... It's been a long day.....

Welcome! You can definitely refill your old cartos so don't throw them away! I really dislike the term "disposable" but I also realize it is for marketing purposes - to sell you more cartos. I had refilled my Njoy 4081 cartos dozens of times each before being replaced entirely by my 510/eGo system. It is not necessary but I cleaned mine out to remove the old flavor before refilling. You just need to find some juice that you like. I use Mad Vapes' Top Vapor or Dekang Tobacco liquids. Pretty decent. Inexpensive, yet innocent juice with a dash of whimsey. YMMV

I didn't realize anyone would post to this after it fell from the front page and I stopped looking. :mail: I haven't done any posting yet (aside from in this thread) as I've been just reading and watching a lot of you guys' posts and tube videos to continue my education. I did finally purchase my first 30ml bottle of juice once I got a collection of a couple dozen cartos in hand. I'm already in the final few ml and ordered more tonight. I ignorantly tossed a couple of burnt cartos, but now know to keep things wet. I also know to not even toss the burnt ones after reading the threads regarding dripping with an 808 tonight! I :censored: love this place!

When I asked about the connectors, I was wanting to build my own custom box mod for kr8 cartos. I had only considered using the connector from a kr808d-1, as that's all I've used (and love!). I hadn't yet even considered adapters for frankenvaping. I'm going to pace myself and just wait until one of my batts goes bad before trying my first box mod now. The impulse inducing novelty has worn off (somewhat) and I'm now just loving to vape!

My first experimentation will be with juice mixing. I've already got the USP VG and will be ordering PG, nic and flavorings later this week. I've received several different flavored trial cartos from V4L when I placed orders with them, and I keep all of them topped off with my Kamel menthol liquid. Some of the mixtures have been surprisingly good. Who woulda thunk mentholated chocolate tobacco vapor could be awesome?! :p

@MustangSallie - tnx for the bump!
