Hello all!

[Tizop]

Hi guys!

I've posted a few times but its time to give my full story so I can introduce myself.

I'm 20 years old and turning 21 in 28 days. I started smoking around the age of 16 and have loved it. I started with black and milds and then off to Marlboro reds then lights then reds again and then menthol.

Around a year and a half ago I had my first dip, Grizzly Wintergreen to be exact, and fell in love. So for about a year and a half I've been smoking 1-1.5 packs a day and chewing a half tin.

At 20 years old I came to the conclusion I love smoking and dipping and I'm addicted.

About 2 months ago a friend at work got the first e cig I have ever seen from a mall kiosk. I tried it and it made me cough lol.

2 weeks later my Blu Cigs came in the mail with enough cartridges to last the next three months. I figured if I bought that much it would help me not smoke and also not dip. The reason I did dip is because I do not smoke in my house and I am a avid World of Warcraft player, so dipping was my way to receive nicotine and not have to leave my computer.

After 2 weeks my e cigs broke. I was sad and started smoking again, but not dipping. Around 2 1/2 weeks ago I received my Joye 510.

I would research for hours some nights looking for a e cig worthy of my money. I found it.

Another reason I needed to quit smoking was my job. I work in the largest sugar silos in the USA. It's over 120 feet up and down of ladders and smoking was killing me.

Overall I love my Joye 510, I have been dip free for about a month and a half and smoke free for 2 weeks, and LOVING it.

I look toward to becoming a avid user of this forum to learn and share information with everyone similar to me.

Before I depart I do have a few questions.

Can I use PG and (I'm not 100% on this) VG e-liquid on the Joye 510 without worrying about damage and harm to my atomizer.

Also I seem to be topping off my cartridge every hour or so because I'm afraid my atomizer isn't soaking up enough e-liquid. Is that normal?

I look forward to being active and helpful in this community and look toward to meeting everyone here.

Welcome, and yes you can use 100% PG or 100% VG....One needs to remember, that the atty was not made to last....You will hear stories of someone using the same atty for months....That never happened to me...Most of my 510 attys last 2-4 weeks at most and that includes me doing the normal stuff to clean them out....Now, I am using LR attys and they last only 7-10 days normally, but the extra TH and vapor with my Ego is worth it...Besides, I only pay $3.00 to 4.00 dollars a piece for each atty...So, for me the trade-off is worth it...People will also say the VG will clog-up your atty, and yes I found that is also true, especially if you don't clean them more... Enjoy and Welcome..

Welcome to ECF! I think Paul has covered your questions. You may also really like the 510 cartomizers I love mine and I have the eGo and Riva. You don't have to top off so offten with the 510 cartomizer. You just fill them and go. I use about 2 a day but also make sure I have plenty filled just in case. Congrats on vaping

As far as topping off goes, you don`t have to unless you`re getting a burnt taste. I`ve never been able to vape a whole cart dry without modifying it in some way, so in all likelihood, yes you end up just topping off your carts unless you do a cart mod. You can usually tell when it needs it though, poor vapor production, the onset of a burnt taste.

Thanks for the welcome guys. I did actually get a free cartomizer with my 510, I'm just saving it for some reason, ill break it out tonight.

Another question. How long do you guys usually use your reusable cartridges for?

cartos are definately a good thing to have handy! 30 drops will last normal people all day! maybe even 2! Throathit, flavor and vapor production are great too! welcome to vaping! congrats on quitting the other crap!
