[brookeorama]

Hi everyone,
I have be researching and reading and opening and closing tabs, I am almost positive I have read almost every post on here.
*thanks*
BUT ALAS-
Questions, questions, questions.

I am so fricKin' confused right now.

I ended up ordering from Heath Cabin. I bought- for my husband and I:

----------------
1 x 10pc Black empty cartridges(round mouth piece) for JOYE510 (JOYE510) =
$2.39
1 x 30ml E-juice with 28 popular flavors (DEKANG 30) = $9.00
Strength 18mg
Flavor Marl(USA Mix)
1 x 10ml E-juice with 34 popular flavors (DEKANG 10) = $3.50
Flavor Cappuccino
2 x Matte black with Golden band Atomizer for JOYE510 (JOYE510) = $14.00
1 x 30ml E-juice with 28 popular flavors (DEKANG 30) = $9.00
Strength 18mg
Flavor Ruyan4#(RY4)
2 x Matte Black JOYE510 PCC Kit with Matte Black Manual E-cig (JOYE510) =
$73.98
2 x 10ml E-juice with 34 popular flavors (DEKANG 10) = $7.00
Flavor Litchi
2 x Stainless Manual Switch Passthrough for JOYE510 (JOYE510) = $22.00
1 x 10pc Black empty cartridges(flat mouth piece) for JOYE510 (JOYE510) =
$2.39

----------------

Spent a pretty penny to, but hey (for being an a pessimist) I am optimistic this will work for us.
* That is once we figure all of this out.
*Shudders* 8-o

INFO ABOUT ME:
My husband and I smoke 2 backs a DAY each. Totally disgusting I know..
We really want to totally get away from analogs and slowly move down from the high nic to the low to the nada...


So here are my question.
(Too many post with different answers/ways/etc...)

+Did I forget to buy anything? Is there anything I should buy now?

+I understand its hard to tell how much e-liq one will use in a day etc but ball park- how much do *you* 2-packs-a-days stock up on. I dont want to be without since this is a serious goal to never buy a pack of analogs again, since we just put up so much $$ for the 510 it would be sill to 'relapse'.

+ Refilling cartridge, do they come with the 'filter' thing or was I supposed to buy that, how long will a cartridge last?

+ I drip directly on the atomizer correct?

I seriously cannot read anymore, other then the answers to this
I will die. I am so frustrated reading and not getting the answers though my head.
I am becoming dense. I am sure my brain is mush at this point. To much. 72 hours of obsessively researching to make sure we are prepared will do that to you. Im walking proof.

 

[PaulZ]

see how much you vape in the first few days, your not sure what level of nic you need till you try it out anyway, so it's probably better if you try this and determine if you need more/less liquid, then go buy that type of ejuice.


you should be fine :]

 

[AngusATAT]

Looks pretty good for a first purchase. Just remember to stock up more on juice, batteries, and especially atomizers in the near future.

 

[brookeorama]

I figured that we would have to wait and try. But honestly is that a lot of juice or not for a couple who combined smokes 4 packs a day (~$24 a day! F that!)

And what's all this talk about filters? :?

 

[jj2]

Filters: Not really but it's the thing that looks like an analog filter.
Inside you will find cart that hold some kind of material and the e liquid.
If someone has a link to one of the "How To Reload" videos, please post it for brook.

 

[bearscreek]

You made very good choices. You'll love the 510. You'll love Health Cabin. I would suggest that after you make sure you like it, though, get some more batteries and atomizers (as Angus said). The PCC is wonderful, but it only comes with 1 battery. Part of it will, of course, depend on how much you use it throughout the day.

As far as juice is concerned, you'll really have to just experiment, but you might estimate that 1 mL equals a pack or 3/4 of a pack, but that depends on many factors. I smoked 1-1/2 packs of lights per day and might use 2 mL per day of roughly 18 mg juice. I'm not sure because I switch bottles throughout the day, so it's hard to tell.

Anyway, you did great, but if you plan to keep it up, you'll need more batteries and atomizers for the inevitable (and obviously more juice).

INFO ABOUT ME:

I would like to start with suggesting that you get 24mg nicotine liquid. I smoked about 1 pack per day and I have 15mg juice and it doesn't satisfy me. I have to have an analog by the end of the day. However, 18mg might work for you. Try it out.

So here are my question.
(Too many post with different answers/ways/etc...)

+Did I forget to buy anything? Is there anything I should buy now?
You might want to get some extra batteries eventually.

+I understand its hard to tell how much e-liq one will use in a day etc but ball park- how much do *you* 2-packs-a-days stock up on. I dont want to be without since this is a serious goal to never buy a pack of analogs again, since we just put up so much $$ for the 510 it would be sill to 'relapse'.
I cant answer this because I am waiting for my new juice and I currently still smoke about half a pack a day.

+ Refilling cartridge, do they come with the 'filter' thing or was I supposed to buy that, how long will a cartridge last?
All of my carts came with the poly fill except for the one that came on my atty with the kit. I just use that one for dripping...

+ I drip directly on the atomizer correct?
You can do that, but I prefer using the carts and just topping them off whenever I feel like it. It seems less harsh and a smoother vape that way.

Good luck!!! I love vaping but I seriously need more nicotine than 15mg. I am going with the 24mg of nic.

 

[brookeorama]

Thanks guys, you are being incredibly helpful.
Any other tips and tricks I should know??
And if someone please if you can post that link that jj2 is referring to i will be ever so greatful.

So more atomizers and batteries and of course juice.
Anyone have a juice-dealer that they are super happy with? There are so many to pick from, is Health Cabin a good 'juicer'??

 

[YKruss]

But honestly is that a lot of juice or not for a couple who combined smokes 4 packs a day (~$24 a day! F that!)

It's looks like you have 90 ml of juice at 18 mg combined.

My consumption is about 1-1.25 ml of juice at 12 mg a day and I used to smoke about 15 cigs a day. So your juice would last me for 100-125 days after bringing it down to 12 mg by adding PG/VG/Vodka.

For you two it could be different.

 

[jj2]

Here's a link to a refill video. Not the best I seen (he moves around too much and too fast), but you'll get the general idea.

YouTube - E-Cigarette Information - Accessories and Refilling Cartridges Part 2

 

[brookeorama]

Thanks JJ2- You are the best!

 

[Toby]

A USB charger is pretty invaluable if you ask me, and they're cheap....

Oh, and I prefer carts in 510; much more handy....

 

[YKruss]

Anyone have a juice-dealer that they are super happy with?

Mist-Stix is very good and the price is $9.00 per 30 ml, and don't forget to use "ECF" coupon code:

[ShinKun]

Good luck with you new endeavor!

Here's a good rule of thumb regarding juice usage that I picked up from the forum.

2 drops= 1 analog
1ml= 1 pack of analogs
30ml=1 month supply for pack/day smoker

I would guesstimate you would go through about 4ml/day between the 2 of you.

The carts will have the fill in them which you will take out if you are direct dripping or use the blank that comes on your attys.

Good luck!

 

[bearscreek]

Health Cabin sells the exact same juice that many, many others sell... just cheaper. Juice will just end up being a personal preference for you after you get a chance to try different ones, but you've got a good start, and there's no need to rush.

 

[Toby]

Shinkun - personally I'd add about 50% to that...

+Did I forget to buy anything? Is there anything I should buy now?

Nice Order,you've got more stuff than I do and I went from 1.5 packs a day to 0 analogs overnight. I love my 510. Okay so an occasional cheat once in a while when boozing but other than that smooth sailing. Key is getting rid of all analogs, ashtrays, lighters, etc.. If they aren't an option you won't want one. My wife won't give em up so I'm always tempted but never jonesing for one.

+ Refilling cartridge, do they come with the 'filter' thing or was I supposed to buy that, how long will a cartridge last?

You can get the filter material anywhere. Michaels, petstore, wallly world.. Unless you get fancy it's just polyester pillow stuffing or fish tank filter stuffing. The plastic cartridges themselves last for a long long time unless you start chewing them

+ I drip directly on the atomizer correct?

I never have, It's more used to get a few big mouthfuls of vapor. I prefer long slow chain vaping instead. I can fill a cart and it can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on how hard I hit it.

With dripping, you're constantly at the jug of juice putting a couple of drops in the atty here and there. Depends on your use though. I prefer to pull the 510 out of my pocket and take a poke here and there without having to be dripping juice into it all the time. Just my preference of course...

Best of luck, the real key is getting flavors that you like and that are satisfying and unless you opted for premium shipping be prepared to wait a few weeks

Anyone have a juice-dealer that they are super happy with? There are so many to pick from, is Health Cabin a good 'juicer'??

I've been vaping for about 2 weeks now and just getting ready to start trying to refil my own cartridges, and came across a recommendation here for Johnson Creek www.johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com

I'm not sure about comparison with respect to pricing and flavor choices but I checked their site and liked:

Money Back Guarantee
Fast order processing (Same day or next day)
Made in the USA
Easily identified ingredents list

Most of this info is found on their FAQ

Of course I just ordered from them today and anybody can 'write it on the wall' (we'll see how they do), but I tend to feel better about a business that "puts it all out there", and one that prefers to specialize in one thing (juice, in this case).

 

[RooksGambit]

More batteries! Especially with a 510. I have a feeling that you guys will be going through your fist battery before the second is charged. I was only a pack a day smoker and I keep at least 3 in rotation every day. I believe Health Cabin sells batteries in bulk, so you should pick up a bulk order. Trust me on this.

And 2 drops will not equal a cig for the 510. The thing is a juice hot. I would get anywhere from 5-8 drags off 2 drops directly to the atty. Using the Plug Pyramid Tea Bag mod (a.k.a. the Rho mod) and carts is the only way to use a 510, IMHO. I cannot for the life of me find the thread for the cartridge mod, though.
