How do you use E-Cig to really feel it?

I get a strong hit with the Green Smoke. But after 2 or 3 days I feel like I'm trying to stop smoking. So I don't get as much nicotine as I need from GS.

Then you may want to try an e-liquid that is more than 24mg, though it's not recommended. There are several makers of 36mg liquid that is supposed to be diluted. You could dilute it down to something higher than 24 but a bit more manageable than 36. That's what I do, and I haven't gone wanting. Just pay attention to your body and stop if you feel like you're getting too much nicotine.

It doesn't FEEL like you're getting as much nicotine from the Green Smokes, but you are. I would suggest getting a different PV because

1) Green Smoke kinda sucks

2) They say 16mg is "High Nicotine"

16mg barely touches the surface. 24mg is as high as most vendors will go, but many will make a 36mg juice if you ask.

I wouldn't screw around with the Green Smokes anymore and just get a quality PV, like a KR808D-1 or an eGo.

1 - It looks like Green Smoke is pretty much using the same device as the one used by vapor4life

No, it's not the same. It is a KR808D-2 and Vapor4Life is a KR808D-1, which is better.

2 - I heard a lot of good comments about Vapor4life. It's trusted.

Very good company - great customer service - constant sales. Don't order anything until you find out if there's a discount code.

I would recommend 24mg liquid because it sounds like your current nic level (16mg) just isn't cutting it. If you are stressing out at 16mg, you should go to at least 24mg. I personally had to start at 36mg to stay off cigarettes and now I'm at 24mg. I would also recommend the Wow e-juices and cartomizers from Vapor4Life. They are very good - at least the ones I've tried.

How long does the pre-filled cartridge last for a 5 to 10 cigarettes smoker?

Nobody can answer that correctly because we don't know how you smoke but I'm guessing that for a light smoker like you a carto would last at least a day, maybe two.

4 - There is something I'm not sure about. I'm not really looking for the carbone monoxide Big Bang Buzz. But no matter what I've tried with the Green Smoke, I don't feel the nicotine effect. After 2 days on Green Smoke I'm definitively more irritable. My temper doesn't flare that much, but I can feel I'm not in a good mood.

I think your nic level is too low and you're not getting a good throat hit with your setup. It could be the juice, the ecig, or a combination of the two.

Thanks, I placed the order (starter kit + WOW 24 and 36) I will be trying this out soon.

According to Green Smoke, each cartridge contains about 20 cigarettes. But I think it was more or less 0 cigarette ;) Hopefully it seems to be better with V4L

I'll send you my feed back as soon as I get it.

A full 808 cartomizer is roughly equal to about 10 cigs (definitely not 20). Also, it might be worth your while to buy a small bottle of eliquid, maybe 10mls or so along with your starter kit, just to see if you could possible deal with topping up your cartos. It really isn't that difficult....a blank carto holds about 25-30 drops of eliquid and the refills (just topping it up when the flavour begins to wane) will take about 12-18 drops. You can refill/top up your prefilled cartos for a couple of days and extend the life of it before chucking it.

No I'm not refilling. I prefer to switch the cartridge. I guess it's a little more expensive.

I also first started vaping with a similar product - Blu and the cartomizers. It was really convenient to pop in a flavored cartomizer and be done with it. I knew there had to be a better experience out there and my internet search led me to this forum. Initially I had a resistance to buying bottles of juice, atomizers, batteries, etc. because I didn't understand what I was doing and it was very confusing. I'm still learning. I followed the advice of the knowledgeable folks on this forum and purchased a PV suitable for me (The Riva 510), along with some atomizers, cartridges, cartridge foam and a couple of juices. That got me started. There was still a learning curve in working with the juice and the fillers, etc., but most if not all your problems and questions will be solved here.

If you have tried up to 24mg and it is not doing anything for you, maybe you should try another type of e-cig. It might not be the right one for you. You could also look at the technique of smoking it, that could be a factor.

HI,

I am really new and I bought my e-cigarette from a supplier on amazon.co.uk, since I live in England.
The model I bought was very cheap but I have to admit it does the job really well.
I put out my last analogic when I have received my e cig and I don't miss somking at all.
An my wife is smoking next to me all the time.

One thing I would like to ask to those with more experience: I buy pre-filled cartriges, which is perfectly fine.
I pulled te little cilinder where the juice is with a paper clip I wonder if I can refill that with a couple of drops of juice.
Do you think it might work ?

Thanks,
G.

I'm really still confused when it comes to the technique of smoking it. I've been trying 18, 24 et 36 strength. I think 36 is too strong as I prefer to smoke as if it was a real cigarette. When it's too strong, I feel like I got too much nicotine after 2 ou 3 hits.

I like pomengranate 18 and coolcart Grape, but I could smoke it all day and I really don't always feel I get the all nicotine I need. But again I'm not sure. There is no magic indicator to warn me "Ok that's enough" I'm not a big smoker (about 5 to 8 full flavor cigarettes a day)

I think I could smoke 10 real full flavor cigarettes a day to fill me need.

I'd like someone with more or less the same habit to tell me how it works for him or her. As I said when I started this thread, I've been using Green Smokes and more recently V4L.
