Hello Eveyone.

[Pvt. Rhodey]

Whats up everybody. I'm pretty new to vaping. A good friend of mine showed me his 510 about a month ago and I was pretty intrigued by I because I was trying to quit smoking. I basically bounced back and forth from Nicorette gum and smoking. I finally broke down and order a ultimate ultimatum kit from vapor4life (KR808D-1) about two weeks ago. I'm pretty happy with it and have been smoke free since (except for when I'm drinking ).

I have a few questions.

Anyone know where I can order cartomizers in bulk? Paying 8-9$ for a pack of 5 isn't really appealing to me, especially since I haven't gotten refilling them correctly down yet.

I've been thinking about purchasing a 510, I've already have 2 regualr, 2 XL and 1 mini KR808 batteries. Think it is worth the money? Or any other upgrade you would suggest?

Will leaving my batteries on the charger longer than they need to be drain them?

Who is a good reliable source for e-juice? I've been thinking about Johnson Creek. Vapor production is important for me so I ordered a lot of VG products from vapor4life but I've really noticed a big lack of flavor (all of my juices are VG )

Dose anyone feel that vaping will greatly increase your addiction to nicotine? I do feel healthier but I have the tendency to continuously vape when I'm not at work or out. I know you can lower your dose gradually but I don't know if that will just have me vaping more often for longer extended periods. Anyone had an issue with this?

I know I could probably scour through this forum and find all the answers I'm looking for so I won't be offended if you guys don't feel like replying to my questions. Just thought I introduce myself.

Hi and welcome!

I havent experienced an issue with being more addicted to nicotine. In fact, I dropped my nicotine level just so I can vape more. I see where lots of people will use a higher nic in the morning or at other times if they are craving a cig. To answer your question about a 510, I dont own one so personally cant comment on it. Just looks too time consuming to me and i have no desire to drip. (im lazy)

Here is a thread to read about charging batteries. It seems that its fine to leave them on after they are charged.

I really like TastyVapor liquid but they dont have samplers. However, there are lots of reviews on their flavors in the vendor forum. You can order up to 35% vg with them. Is there a reason you are going 100% vg?

Im not sure where to get bulk cartomizers and to be honest, I dont care much for any prefilled flavors anyway. I usually get the blank cartomizers. Keep practicing at refilling as it will become second nature. Here is a great video on how to refill cartz.

Welcome aboard Rhodey! I have a 510 and I truly do like it but since that, at this time, is my only PV, I have nothing to compare it too. But so far, I have had nothing but a great experience with it. As for the juice, like Cielo said, go the forum on EJuice Reviews and start there. Wonderful reviews on the suppliers and their products. It seems that many like, well actually love, Tasty Vapor, Ms T's Essential Bakery and My Freedom Smokes. Those seem to be very popular. So Good Luck and Happy Vaping!

Welcome to ECF and vaping. Use the "seach" at the top of each board to find specific things without looking throuh all boards and threads. You will get used to filling your carts in time, and you will problably enjoy mixing your own juice or at least modifying juice. VG will produce more vapor than PG. JC offers PG juice and a reduced PG which is 80%PG and 20% VG. They have been a very good and responsible juice supplier to me when I started. Now I use 54mg unflavored juice and cut it down to to 70-75%PG and near 24mg + menthol crystals. I believe that clean pure juice will keep your atty's alive longer.
Your addiction to nicotine increasing may be somewhat misleading. PV's do not deliver the same absorption rate of nicotine you get from a cigarette. I think everyone in the beginning vapes a lot because it is so much more enjoyable, you don't want to stop.
