My name is Ryan. I am new to the forum, although I have been a constant lurker for the past several weeks. I first learned about electronic cigarettes about 6 months ago when I saw an NJOY display in my local smoke shop. I thought the concept was very cool, but I didn't delve into any further research until about a month ago. Needless to say I am very excited about these devices, as I have been addicted to cigarettes for about 4 years now (I'm 19) and have tried to quit more times than I can count on both hands.
About 3 weeks ago, I placed an order with NJOY for their black NCIG starter kit. A week later, I called them back and they told me they were on backorder and would be expecting a shipment that same day. Another week later, I called back again and they told me they were expecting a shipment sometime that week. Feeling a bit frustrated, I called them back at the end of the week and was told that they wouldn't be getting any shipments for atleast two weeks. Now, at this point, I am fully aware of what's going on with the FDA and customs seizures of major suppliers. I told the customer service rep that it was my third time calling back and asked if the delayed shipments had anything to do with the FDA seizures. She declined, and instead told me that because of the recent cigarette tax increase their sales have gone through the roof and they simply ran out of product much quicker than expected. I knew she was BSing, but I politely asked if I could have my order canceled and my credit card refunded, which was not a problem at all. A few days later I ordered all the necessary parts from Vapornine (Atomizer, Batt, Charger, Passthrough, Carts, and Vanilla Vice juice) since Ben no longer sells the starter kits. I was gonna order from Puresmoker, until I learned of how Steve's shipments have been seized without any sign of release. Anyway, if all goes well, I should be vaping later on today! Like any newbie to e-vaping, I have a few questions.
(1) What is the proper way to prime the atomizer before using?
(2) Is it possible for me to rinse one of the pre-filled cartridges under warm water and dry it off so I can fill it with the Vanilla liquid?
I had a few more questions, but I can't remember what they were due to lack of sleep! Anyway, I'll check back when I wake up later, and hopefully my package will be here by then! I'm glad to be aboard :]
