Hello there!

[VapourPrince]

Hello guys and gals,

My name is Joel and I am a 19 year old guy from the South West of England. I'm a newcomer to vaping, having tried in total 4 different types of e-cigarettes and giving up.

I have tried the following:
Ruyan V10 I got this when I was first introduced to electronic cigarettes, one year ago. I was smoking an analogue walking into my local shopping center, and I was stopped by a street sales guy, and he got me good! I stuck with this for a few days.
Gamucci Classic After deciding the Ruyan was nothing special, a friend recommended I try this. I stuck with it for a week.
Some random Pen style I can't remember what it was, but it was allright. I stayed on it for 2 weeks.
Vapor4Life Vapor King I liked the range and variety they offer, and it was very nice! I especially loved their USB passthrough. I stuck with them for a month I think.

Then I ran out of cartridges, stupidly remembered that V4L was american, and rather than waiting a week for new carts I went back to analogues.

Now I am trying again, with a new set from Vapor4Life that I put together myself:
2x XL Manual batteries
1x USB Charger
1x tobacco Shop 8mg Sampler Carto Pack
1x Mixed Berry 8mg Sampler Carto Pack

I have to say... I'm not getting the performance I once remembered from this formerly awesome brand... So I would like to "play the field" a bit, and am open to any suggestions people want to give me.

I have not had an analogue since Sunday, 17th April 2011 (4 days) and I would like to keep it that way!

Welcome to ECF Joel.

Are you looking for battery or juice suggestions? I'm not sure which part of the performance is missing. Warmth? Flavor? Vapor? throat hit? The suggestions will vary depending on what's missing.

You ordered cartomizers with very low nicotine levels- you might just try juices with a bit more nicotine.

If you want to try something with the same power (3.7V) but longer battery life you could get a Riva SE from liberty flights, or an Ego or Riva (3.2V). With an adaptor you can use the kr808/vapor king cartos.

Depending on how much you smoked, you may want to up your nicotine level. 8mg is pretty low. I recently dropped from 18mg to 12mg, and I was a very light smoker.

You may also want to change the way you drag on the ecig, take 8-11 second inhales, don't suck real hard on it. Short strong drags don't produce much vapor, long easy drags allow the coil to heat up, and produce more vapor.
