...good choices...the only thing I would change is the cartos and drip tip from LF...instead goto Crystal Clear Vaping and pick up a bundle(15) of either LR Boge2.0s or the Resurrectors(what I use)...the bundle will come with 2 drip tips, a syringe and free shipping...other than that, you look good to go.............
madjack:2cool:

p.s. to answer your question...cartos are considered disposable so, yes you will need extras...I use 'em about a week then switch to a new one...I save the old ones and clean 'em up for reuse...you can put some flavors on top of others in the cartos...sometimes...sometimes, you can't 'cause it just makes 'em taste funny...this depends on the flavors...the atomizers, which come with the Lite kit can and should be used for sampling diff flavors............mj

Ok, got ya! So, I save the ones in the kit for testing out different flavors :) I feel so dumb about all of this and you all have been such a help. I'll check out the website you linked, thanks.

...the Boge2.0 hold 1ml+-...the Resurrectors hold 2ml+-...keep in mind you will want to top them up when they get down to the 50-75%level for best taste and longevity of the carto...for the first fill, I use the syringe, fill it to the carto capacity and inject it down the inside of the carto in a couple of spots...once done, the top of the carto will look like a wet slushy...if not, drip a couple of drops at a time until it does...same with topping up the carto, lean it to the side and drip until the wet slushy look is achieved...this is best done with the carto removed from the batt...once this look is accomplished, give a quick short blow thru either end to clear the air channel of excess juice...wipe of thread, attach to batt and vape away...to clean...put in pot, cover with a couple of inches of water, put on stove set at high boil for 5-10min, remove from stove, rinse well under faucet and repeat...3 times...after last rinse, blow out excess water and either allow to dry a couple of days or do like I do, set oven to 150-175 and place cartos on cookie sheet for a couple of hours..........

Hi everyone. I too am a brand spanking new vaper, and have been roaming around in here for about a week. I started vaping with a cig model and within a week I switched to a Boge Leo. The difference in the vaping experience is day and night with a Leo. I want to say that thanks to this great site I have gained much knowledge about vaping and am getting to know my Leo quite well. You guys are awesome and thanks again for sharing all your great tips and tricks.

Janet, while madjack is very helpful...if all this gets a little much at first, just drip some sample juice (7-9 drops) into cart(s) with white filler until it looks slushy and plug that into the atty, into batt to vape. Drip 3 drops into the atty the first time you use it, when it's dry. No need to afterwards.

You can experiment and figure out all the carto technology as you go. :)

32 days smoke free. BUT... I wish when I first started (stopped?). I would have went right to this set up:

2- Ego-T 1000 mah passthroughs, they come with a charger each, you can smoke while they charge. Screw on the USB cover and you can take em anywhere. Some dual coil LR cartomizers , or even just some regular 510's, add your fav juice and your on your way. In my opinion this set up rocks !! For performance and versitility... Been thru more money than I care to speak of buying tanks, attys, carts, etc.
This is just IMHO.. Thanks
I got the Ego's from Mike & Carols.. FOR 18.00 EACH, to me, that is a screamin deal I do not know if they are true Ego's or not, but they do say Ego-T on them

Hi everyone...

32 days smoke free.

There is a sticky for the best e-cigs for beginners.

Irishlady, Seattle40, jasonbanks, if you haven't yet, start your own intro thread and get a proper welcome. :)

:toast: I made all my purchases online so now all there is to do is wait till it all comes from 3 different vendors, lol. I'm sure once it gets here I'll have plenty more questions.

You're on your way, well, your packages are. Savor the anticipation...:p

Hi!

I am also extremely new to vaping. I have officially been off regular ciggs for 1 full week!!!!!! I had been an analog smoker for the last 16 years. Super excited to have joined a fast growing community of e-smokers.

Anyhow. This is what I did exactly 2 week ago.

1. Bought the V2 kit and their variety pack which came with 8 or so flavors. (the V2 kit uses a KR808 battery and a cartomizer instead of an atomizer and cartridge (( which i preferred)) I also bought 5 blank cartomizers from V2 ciggs.

2. I bought some MENTHOL juice from backwoodsbrew.net, liquidxpress.com, halocigs.com (no larger then 10ml so i can try without too much commitment)

3. I bought 2 TOBACCO sample packs from johnsoncreeksmokejuice.com, halocigs.com

4. I bought an extra kr808 battery and more blank cartomizers from litecigusa.net <--- has super fast shipping

5. Enjoying lots of really great e liquids and staying analog cigg-free!!

PS - I used to smoke menthol too and thought that I would not like the regular tobacco flavors. I WAS DEAD WRONG! I actually prefer regular tobacco flavors to menthol now!

Vape On!:laugh:

Hi Chinchilla. I got some regular tobacco flavors too (they are coming) in the sampler I bought, just in case. I read a lot of folks here who smoked menthol analogs saying they prefer regular tobacco flavor now so I thought I'd better get some. I always said if there were no menthol cigs I would just quit, ha! Hubby always smoked Marlboro reds which I think taste and smell horrible. I have no idea how he smoked those for 40 years. He was able to quit completely with Chantix :blush: I got 2 of the shipping confirmations today so I'm getting closer. :vapor:
