HELP, I am new to e cigs and confused

[drsolo]

OK. So I bought a kit from RedDragon. The taste and smell is like BABY POWDER. I contacted them (fast response!) and they sent an assortment of different cartridges. All tasted/smelled like baby powder except the one that spit stuff into my mouth I couldnt tell. I dont just intensely dislike baby powder, it gives me a cranking headache and I couldnt get rid of the taste/smell for hours. I am sure this is due to their adding "perfumes" to the cartridge.

Can anybody recommend an e cig brand that smells/tastes like real cigs? I smoke Lewiston ultra lights. TIA

Never heard of Baby Powder taste or smell, but since all of your carts are tasting the same, I'm gonna guess that you're still tasting the primer fluid that's usually on your atomizers when they come in brand new. Did you blow the fluid out of your atomizer out? Blow through the battery end and soak up all the crap that comes out. Then put a couple drops of juice directly on the atomizer (if you have juice). THEN connect your cart and take a few puffs without inhaling. By then you should start to have the flavor that's in your cart (assuming the problem is atty primer).

The vast majority of us who have tried many different devices only recommend manual PV"S (personal vaporizers). For some one new, I would recommend either the Joye 510/Janty Dura-C or the new MANUAL DSE901. There are also the premiere PV's such as the Prodigy, Janty Stick, Screwdriver, etc but I would check out the 510 or manual 901 and see how that goes. Here are some reputable suppliers of both:

Almost everyone gets liquid to re-fill their carts and does NOT buy prefilled carts as you have to with the Red Dragon. The taste is much better, the cost is much less and the variety is much greater.

The Red Dragon is a two piece unit which makes it very difficult to do those things. You either like the carts or get a different PV.

I dont understand "put a couple drops of juice". The atomizer is on the cartridge. So how would I do that?

you take the little white stopper off and drip a couple of drops to the side...not directly on the wire(atomizer). I also started with the red dragon and did this for a couple of weeks till I found this forum and got myself a 901. The red dragon isn't bad, but the others are just so much better!!!
