Hi guys, new vaper / member with a question!

[rockbottom]

Just received my first e-cig the other day - loving it so far!

I bought the v2 starter kit. My only gripe so far is that the carts run out much faster than I was expecting. I probably only smoked 8-10 cigarettes a day and so far I've gone through 2 carts in 2 days.

I'm from Australia, and v2 tack on an extra $52 just for shipping. Obviously I new this before but didn't think it would be a huge issue, as I thought they would last longer.

My question is - is there any other brand of carts I can buy that will be compatible with my v2 cigs? I don't really want to try the liquid, it all seems to complicated for me. I'm extremely new to this and know next to nothing.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

you really want a device that has a 510 connection. that's the part the cart screws on to, the actual threads. other people will have varying opinions but I think you might want a ego twist starter kit. many vendors have them and a lot of newer people seem to like them. hope that helps some. good luck

The flavored carts are all going to be the same and last the same amount of time. There is a finite amount of liquid that they can hold. The companies that are selling these are making a killing off of you.

What is so difficult about dripping a liquid into a cartomizer? You only need to avoid getting liquid into the center air hole; you can do what I do and stick a wooden tooth pick into the hole while filling. You simply drip juice on the cotton looking material, then shake it like a thermometer. Drip some more in, shake it down again. This works like a centrifuge forcing the liquid into the cotton. Once the cotton will accept no more liquid (it will look like a slushy drink), remove the toothpick, add a mouthpiece to the cart, and you are good to go.

Your insecurity is all in your mind. There is nothing complicated in this at all, believe me. Watch the video and see how easy it is:

I also do the same as Baditude, I did do some research before buying, and of course my bro and a few friends also helped, my Carto's filled last me about 4-6 hours depending on how much I Vape. And I do love to Vape hehe.

Just out of interest, what does a pack of cigarettes (analgs) cost in Australia these days?

Thanks - could you or someone possibly list a few different types of suppliers that provide carts with a 510 connection?

In regards to the e-liquid, I guess I'd be willing to give it a go. Just cautious of wasting my time/money. What liquid would you recommend I buy, and how many blanks?

In response to the last question - a pack of 25 normal cigarettes recently went up to around $21 in Australia. Ridiculous I know!
