Hello from a new E-Smoker!

[brofkand]

Hello everyone,

I just bought an e-cigarette from a booth in the mall, and have officially joined the ranks of e-smokers!

I have a few questions about e-smoking:

-the smoke really seems to die off quickly; I'll get a ton of smoke from a fresh cartridge, and then probably ~5 cigarettes equivalent later I'll get hardly any smoke. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

-when I put in a fresh cartridge, almost every time I first start using it I get some of the "juice" in my mouth/lips. What's causing that?

Other than that, I have no issues. I am really enjoying it so far! As a smoker for only about 4-5 years, I know I'm not as bad off as some of you were but I'm sure this will help me quit my dependence on expensive cigarettes and health risks.

Welcome to ECF, brofkand!!!!!

I'm not familiar with the pre-filled carts, or the one's from the malls kiosk, so I can't really comment on most of your problems but....

-when I put in a fresh cartridge, almost every time I first start using it I get some of the "juice" in my mouth/lips. What's causing that?>>> Atomizer sounds flooded and you are pulling really hard thru the cart. juice is working up thru the cart and getting in your mouth.

What type of E-Cig is it? Brand? Model?

It's nice to see another North Carolinian here.......look for more of us!!

I am unaware of the brand name. I got it at the Smoking Everywhere booth. Got a great deal because I work at the mall and give the man that owns the booth discounts when he comes in the store I work in.

It just says Smoking Everywhere Gold One on it. I'm sure it's rebadged from someone else.

i bought a 51 trio which is what you have. i have the gold one as well. although im not completely satisfied with it.

I'm not dissing your choice or anything, but from what I've heard.......they are terrible. Overpriced....and have horrid service. The mall in Greensboro kicked them out of a kiosk cause they were making false claims to people trying to get them to buy their stuff.

It's a good thing you found ECF........You will be looking to get something else real soon.

Welcome to ecigs.

I vape on the same model and have the same experiences.

It's not unusual to get juice on ur lips when a new cartridge/ejuice is filled.
As for less vapor after puffing equivelant of 5-6 cigs...that's how you know when to change the cartridge/ejuice.

Hi, brofkand, and welcome to ECF. You might look over the venders on this forum and order a bottle of e-liquid to refill your carts. Sounds like a top off is all that's needed and a bottle of liquid is much cheaper than buying prefilled carts. Good luck.

Hi everybody,

I am a newbie too, bought mine this weekend too and now after reading so much on here today I should have done a little more research. This is the first time I have ever used one of these forums...so it is going to take me a few days to get used to the format. Does anyone have like a beginners guidebook for parts, supplies and such? I started using mine this morning and went all morning at work without an analog cig, just used the vap, but the cartrige was pretty much out by lunchtime.

I have read that you can get your own juice and refill the cartridges? Where is the best place to get this from?

I am hoping to be on the ecig 100 percent by January 1st and so I am glad I started playing around with it early.

Thanks

Welcome to both brofkand and Travelingman Rick! On the top of the opening page for this "newbie" part of the forum are the first two "stickys":

"FAQ:Frequently asked Questions" and "The Wonderful World of Vaping"

These should answer alot of your questions. There is alot to learn but I promise it's worth it and you will meet some great people on the way. On the home page if you will scroll way down, keep going...almost there..(it's a big forum!) you will start to see a very long list of suppliers. They have all passed an approval process and you can read the different threads people have started to the right of their names to learn more about them. Also, visit thier websites with paper and pen by your keyboard so you can write down who had the best prices, what models, and e-liquid flavors you might like to try. Good luck to both of you!

I paid with a credit card so if I really did get a bad deal I can do a chargeback. No big deal getting the money back if they're selling a product that can't deliver the promises.

(Promises I mean are a battery that lasts all day, cartridges that last for 20 cigarettes, etc).

I got the kit with the e-cig, home charger, 10 cartridges, and a nice case for $120.
