Hi! New here. Some questions

[144man]

Hello, and please forgive my ignorance. I purchased a Smoke-51 Duo kit with two batteries and a charger back in June. For a while, we bought cartridges from the kiosk at the mall. But then I heard about refilling, so I got a bottle of e-liquid on line (No. 9 from the smoker's smart choice.) I've been refilling the Smoke-51 cartridges with 3-4 drops of e-liquid for a while now, but from time to time, one of the cartridges stops working altogether. The kiosk in the mall is gone now.

I really like this form of nicotene delivery.

Did I make a mistake buying into the Smoke-51 Duo system, or can I make what I've already bought sustainable and refillable? If not, is there a better refillable system out there?

Thanks in advance, and please forgive the ignorance of a noob.

Someone will be able to help you find a "name" that will fit your model. These are manufactured with different logos, names, etc., but they are stock devices.....you are looking for replacement "cartomizers" I take it?
It has the atomizer built into the cart, right...so all you need is for someone to tell you which models are interchangeable....I don't have any knowledge of these types, someone around here will!
And..Welcome to ECF
[edit] Is this the one you have?? If so, see if you can order the right one here. Or at least get some info.

There's also a place for cartridges >> If you're refilling your own, the 0 nic ones wouldn't matter.

How long do the atomizers last?

Howdy 144man;
I went to Smoke 51 site, and there aren't enough pictures to figure what model you have. If we can find out what model it is, you can get cheaper parts and supplies. Try this link and see if you can identify it. From what I see on the site, it could possibly be an M401.

Good answer, Jim, I went and looked too, you're right, the pictures just won't do.
We need someone who also bought one of these to help 144man. But the cart link was definitely for Smoke-51 Duo, so hope that helps a bit. So many styles, so little time! This is shoppers Heaven.

 

[Jim Davis]

You're right Kate. "So many Styles", and that's the problem. We have a couple of dozen different models, and a .... load of distributors branding their name on them. We end up with one model that has 20 different names. It's madness.

I suppose it's all about the marketing, everyone wants their own Logo on everything, making people this ooohh, that's different, when it's exactly like the other 100 sites you looked at! Kinda not nice, when you think about it. Some sooo expensive, those must be the best!
My NPro was $80 with the shipping, the atomizers $25, batteries $18. I had my own liquid for refills. But I bought a little "cheapie" mini from China for $29, $5 atomizer, $9 battery, and everything is almost identical except the atomizers are a tiny bit different, and of course a different color, so go figure. I bought things like a drunken sailor (no offense to drunken sailors!) for awhile, and learned something every day. Especially, not to blow into the mouthpiece to get rid of the 'gurgle' sound! It shorted out my battery, it went berserk, and burned out the atomizer too! I didn't figure that out for awhile, I thought it was just that darned e-cig was screwed up! It wasn't. It was my methods.
Well, I checked back here to see if our posts did any good, but our friend 144man must've got lost, so I have to get to bed.

Smoke-51 is the LTv9 device by loong totem.... I have no idea whether they have updated their battery itself to an "updated" model, but the adaptor threads are the same for the cartomizers.

I remember numerous posts of cart(omizers) compatabilities inquiries with other 2-piece designs but never followed up on the posts.

There is also a long post of mine back then of the procedure to "refill" the cartomizers I was following and having success for avg 6-7 refills per cart before the wadding wasn't worth attempting further refilling or when I was concerned about cleanliness or germs since the wadding was not washable (I'll have to try and dig up a link thru search).
