Sorry I responded and disappeared. My brother called and drew me into a 3 hour discussion.

I am going through 8-10 of the pre-filled cartos per day. You can follow this link and see what I am using. Since I buy so many from the guy, he has given me a 25% discount coupon. If anyone wants to use it, just type my name "tim hill" in the coupon code area. After the code, they are $9.71 per pack of 5, which isn't a terrible price and I really like his Menthol flavor. It's very minty and refreshing and doesn't have much of a tobacco flavor. I've tried a few Menthol juices from AltSmoke.com but either I really don't like the flavor of them or the cartos I'm reloading are burnt up or something.

I go through so many cartos a day because a: I'm constantly vaping. Really, I don't put the thing down for very long. Just something about it that makes me want to do it all day. and b: I think I pull too hard or too much because the carto will be fine and the taste is great one puff and the next puff I'm getting this horrible flavor like something is burnt. Literally, it's one puff to another, that fast. It was suggested to me to try puffing on one for a few minutes and switching to another for a bit. I did that with 3 cartos going at once and I'm not sure it has helped with anything. It seemed like they were lasting longer but I still went through 9 cartos yesterday so, I dunno?

I am buying some new equipment this week, so it may be a moot point but I would still like to keep using these cartos if I can refill the and I gotta clean them before I can refill them. I know the carts are cheaper and, with the LR attys, they give better TH and vapor but you just can't beat the cartos for convenience. I spend 14 hours a day in my office where I can't really be dripping into a cart all the time. My boss barely tolerates my vaping at work as it is and I don't want to give him more reason to dislike it. (I kinda wish he was a smoker...I'd just get him vaping and we'd be best buds)

I don't know what kind of battery it is, but the cartos I get are compatible with the EGO battery. I don't know if that helps or not. I'm in going to be buying a couple more eGo batteries this week so, hopefully, the only time I'll use the automatic batteries from the SS site is when I'm driving and can't use the push button.

I appreciate the help, y'all. As I was going, I was investing about $100 a WEEK into vaping. That's more than double what I was spending on analogs! The only good that has come from vaping is me not smoking the analogs for 6 weeks, now.

Thanks, all!

Bubba

I'd recommend you get the Echo. You can get an automatic battery if you prefer and it has a 1300 mah battery which should last you all day. The cartomizer holds 3 1/2 ml. of juice which again should last you a day or a good part of the day. You can purchase an echo for between $45-$60.

The cartomizers that come with it can be reused and can be refilled over 100X.

If your interested, let me know and I'll give you links to some vendors.

I don't want to send you all over the internet, but here's what I would do.

1) Go to Liberty Flights Electronic Cigarette - Starter Kits - Riva 510 and buy a RIVA 510 Carto Delux. It is same thread as eGo, and will have two batteries, charger, cartos, and case for $35. There is a 20% off button at the top of the page.

2) Go to either Joogler Juice Joogler Juice or VaporGod Home | VaporGod.com | Best selection of e-juices for your e-cigarettes! and buy some dual coil cartomizers. They are $9 per pack of 5, and should last 4-6 hours each. Each box will come with a free 5ml bottle of juice (your choice of flavor). Get a couple packs, get a couple flavors.

3) Go to a good juice vendor's website. KickBassVapor, QuicknicJuice, and BackwoodsBrew are my favorite 3. Order a couple 15 or 30 ml bottles of some flavor that sounds good. If it isn't good, you can sell them here (good vendors = easy to sell). Some juice may need to steep (set for a week while the flavors blend). Most are fine out of the mailbox.

The RIVA batteries do really well with the dual coils. Make sure you fill the duals all the way the first time. Drip around the edge to soak the fibers, not into the middle hole. I fill until they drip out the bottom. Overfill them, then blow out the excess. You should be able to see through them.

Start with 3-4 cartomizers, each with a different flavor. Just top off the cartos each morning before work (or night). Mark cartos with nail polish or tape as to what flavor each is.

Great advice. Bill in the Supplier's forum is selling the echo-e (which is a 510 ego) 1300 mah battery and cartos for $45.00. Or the automatic echo which this person seems to prefer. For someone that vapes at work non-stop this would be a good deal.

But you definitely can't go wrong with a Riva from LR.

Then to revise and extend my remarks, an Echo-e or Riva. The mAh of a battery will determine how long it lasts between charges (also it's size). The RIVA is 750 mAh. That means a heavy smoker will go through it in about 7.5 hours. 1300 mAh will last 13 hours.

The RIVA kit comes with 2 batteries, so you can vape all day. I believe the echo-e also has 2 batteries.
