You may want to hold on to the cigs for a couple days until your used to vaping. I needed that morning cig with my coffee for the 1st week. Occasionally 1 before bed as well. I had 12 cigs left when I got my first PV. On day 6, I tossed the last 3 and never looked back.

I will probably keep them at home for a while but I have been wanting to quit for a long time now. I have been gagging to the point of nearly throwing up on the cigarettes for a fair amount of time now. So yeah I wanted to quit, I rarely chewed but that took a slight edge off when I was working and could not smoke on the clock. Nothing could compare to holding a cigarette and inhaling, feeling and visually seeing the smoke.

I've tried the smokingeverywhere junk in the malls and I can't recall the other brand in a cigar shop. But this thing takes the cake. I really think I found an out to smoking.

Side note: I just popped open my 2nd cartomizer. The first one lost alot of the throat hit but still made a great vapor cloud. It's right where I would like it to be but just to be safe I set it aside to refill it once the juice comes in.

Pack a day smoker of camel crushes. I however didn't buy and juice or extra cartomizers or a battery.

Bought the Vapor King Mini PCC kit

I guess the other question would be how long would the battery last if I wasn't to charge it after each vaping?

Thanks in advance.

if you ordered from V4L, you will get Juce from them as a gift, they sent me 3 bottles in the flavor I ordered. You will probably get extra carts as well. I am new and ordered their starter kit. I too am a pack a dayer and I bo through 2 carts a day and a battery last me around 4-6 hours. I don't chain vape but I do vape when i feel the urge to smoke. I have been doing this for a week and have never gone through more than 3 in one day. Usually i get through 1 and a half. You made a good choice with V4L IMHO. They are a great supplier with excellent service. Need to get some more time with mine and I will write a review of it for all to see.

Ive just ordered my first set of cartos yesterday. Ive researched obsessively on these......a carto can be refilled dozens of times before considering tossing it, and when the time comes to toss it....give it a cleaning first...you most likely will get another dozen refills out of it before it really needs tossing. Dont waste money, there is alot more life in most vaping products than the vendors may lead you to believe!! Also....get some GOOD juice...not the Dekang, China made crap...it will make all of the difference in the world in your enjoyment of vaping.

Hey Big Daddy!

Just my 2 nickels on this subject. Please use cartos with caution. Because the heating coil is nested in the polyfil, the polyester will begin to break down from your very first use. Again, its just my opinion and the opinion of others who researched it and have taken apart cartos after a few uses. That's why the new generation of fillerless cartos (C-E2) have been released (waiting for a members review). I just finished posting another thread so I'll just paste it here:

The filler in cartos WILL degrade no matter how much attention you give them to keep them wet...You can't get away from it, it's simply the nature of the beast and a cartos fact. They are designed and advertised to be expendable.

Like ZB, I am are aware of the this truism, and use them with caution. I refill my cartos, and after about 3ml of refills, I chuck them even if they are still working perfectly. Gives me peace of mind, and saves my time and effort in trying to stretch the life of a $1.79 item.

Just trying to keep things in perspective.

Mahalo!

I've refilled the two cartomizers I have much more than that and seem to work fine, not saying its a good thing though.

What happens with the stuff breaking down? Just toxic to use at that point or what?

I had bought juice to refill, but since I only had one battery and wanted a different ecig I didn't get any more carts. I just ordered my eGo now that I finally got a little money. Just waiting for my new stuff to come in.
