How Much Juice should I buy

[matta89]

Hey everyone!

I was on late last year, I was ready to buy e-cigs, but ended up stopping smoking for about 3 months. I hate the way I feel after smokng, but I do enjoy it. I purchased a disposable, which I loved... besides for the blah flavoring.

Anyways, I wanted to get some feedback on my planned order. I plan on ordering from cig-not, a joye-510. I think it will work for me. Battery life isn't a huge problem for me. I work from home and I plan on getting a ubs pass through at a later date

I'm debating on how much juice I will need and other supplies. I smoke 5-10 cigs a day, sometimes less. But I sometimes chain smoke and at one time i was a pack a day smoker and i tend to smoke a couple at a time, rather than spreading them through the day. I would like to get supplies for about 2 weeks, and start buying more at that point.

The kit comes with 2 batteries, 2 atties, a charger and 5 pre-filled cartridges

Here is what i'm thinking of getting:​

• 
  1 PG 5 ml of 18 MG of Marbl flavoring

• 1 VG 5 ml of 18 MG of mint flavoring (camel crush smoker here)

• 1 nicotine free juice to try, maybe of the same flavoring of one of the two so I could experiment with the amount of nicotine. I do know that I'd likely be ok vaping without nicotine sometimes since half of smoking for me is meditation.

I read somewhere that a pack a day smoker smokes about 10 ml a week, so i'd assume I would smoke about 5ml a week? Any suggestions, or changes to what i'm planning? For those who use cignot, should I pay for the priority shipping? I live in California

I'd prefer to get my first order from cignot, so I'm not waiting for two orders... and then make a order to another company for more juices and maybe a couple extra attys.

Thanks everyone!

Matt

Yep! I've always considered myself a moderate E-Smoker and I use about 3ml a day some days more or less....Hecknaw

Sounds like you got it covered. Priority rec for that order.
Usually you do not need to pay extra for Priority for small items/order.
Sometimes I order from CA & mail is 2 days.

I was smoking about 5 100's a day and I started out with 8mg nicotine and that was more than enough for me. Vaping at a low amount. So you might want to consider 11mg, or your idea of getting a same flavor in no nic is also a great idea. If you do might want to get an extra bottle.

I'm vaping a good bit lately, it's just too much fun! My nicotine intake has probably gone up a decent bit, but, I've got some new juice that I cut and is now only 3mg. Of course I can puff on these delicious flavors all day at that strength. That is kind of the idea though, hehe.

I only used like .5ml the first 5 or so days I started vaping. One Volcano cart a day was all I needed to avoid nicotine withdrawl symptoms. Then I kind of decided that I don't have to quit altogether like right this minute, lol. So now I use maybe 1ml or 1.5ml a day of the weaker stuff.

15ml should be enough to last you the first couple weeks. Especially if you don't waste any and you're only using ecig to avoid nicotine withdrawl and not trying to get a buzz from it, lol.

Hope this info helps.

Also new and found I'm going through a lot of liquid breaking in attys and such. And I did't like the prefilled cartridges they tasted awful. So I ordered the bigger bottle which is pretty expensive but I love Cignot. So I found some on sale at Awesomevapor much cheaper for the larger bottles and they throw in a sample smaller one for each one you order. GL and welcome to the forum.

Thank you! I like the juices they have and the product... their kits are the same price for the same product and the juice is cheaper... Plus being so close, I'll get the stuff quickly

Thank you, based off your advice I'm going with a bit more variety ranging from 6mg to 18mg and a total of 29 ml of juice.

Yeah that's what I would do there. Use coupon 5percent

Yeah I wouldnt bother with priority - cignot deliver fast on normal mail and sometimes the post office get over excited about 'priority' and it ends up taking longer.

Sure thing! The other poster is right as well about using up extra juice to break in your atty. Mine has not really started performing up to its potential until the last cpl days or so when I finally started to use it more. Now its really putting out a lot of smoke. It's just an L88B too so I can't imagine what a 510 will do.

You might want to consider getting some Cartomizers at some point in the future as well. I didn't see Strictly Juice selling them, but LitecigUSA is where I get mine. Personally I'd get the 510 Soft Tip empty ones. I got 5 soft and 5 hard and being a noobie I should've got all soft. It's hard for me to tell whether I've filled carto properly or not with the hard tip because I can't look inside the thing, lol. Soft tip you can use a paperclip or whatever to pry out soft mouthpiece plug. Then you can fill or just check to make sure its juicy enough.

Seems like common sense, but I was stubborn and had to 'see which one is better'. Might want to consider getting some plastic bottles if you place an order with litecig. I've had trouble finding them locally and at .75c or so they come in handy. Of course you'll only need them if you plan on mixing any juices. Cartos are also not mandatory but might increase your enjoyment.

The main benefit to Cartos for me is that you can fill each one with a different juice. So you can switch flavors as much as you want. Which is a little harder to do with atty/cartridge because the flavors tend to stick around a little bit. Good to test a flavor out before you fill up a carto with it too.

I haven't really measured but ecig juice seems to go a long way. I'd say a 30ml bottle would last me about a month. Do yourself a favor and only get good juices. I had some cheap chinese juice that would turn you off of ecigs. go to tastyvapor.us, their 510 kit is cheaper too

 

[CaptJay]

TV's ecig parts are for emergencies (as per the owner of TV) and are meant as 'argh I ran out' pieces rather than 'oh I want to get a good PV'. Great value for those times when your last atty/battery crapped out or you need a fast backup. They have NO warranty (again as per the owner and stated on the site), but his juices are very very good indeed, and very popular around these parts I use a lot myself lol.
You can't get small samples from TV but on his forum page there is a 'swaps n trades' thread for people wanting to try stuff and its done by other forum members.

It all depends on how much you vape. I used to vape 5 30ml of 24mg in a month. then I went up to 48 and only went through 1 30ml bottle the whole month. Now i'm content with 36mg and will probably go through 2-3 bottles of 36mg. Check out StrictlyEjuice.com, Flavor Shop! they have pg and vg and 36mg and they make the best Ry4 and 555 among many other great flavors.

This place is cheap, unfortunately after trying TV I no longer could stand the china juices

I was one who got quick service from them though.

True words!!
What sounds like a very tasty vapor has turned out to be downright NASTY for me and wasted a carto because I didn't drip taste it first!

I washed the carto out and got most of the taste out but couldn't get rid of it all so lesson learned.

I gave up trying to wash mine out when I do that lol

 

[matta89]

I'm so excited... and I just can't hide it! My stuff should be coming either today or tomorrow I suspect

 

[matta89]

wooo!!!! I just got my kit and my juices. I'm addicted to vaping. I will be ordering more atties, batteries and more juice soon. I've figured out a couple things. The first is that I'm fine at 12 mg of nicotine and I think I'll order more 6mg juice. I think I already found 'my' juice, which is the kona coffee. I didn't think i'd like it but OMG its to die for. I'm atleast planning on ordering 30ML of the 6MG version.

thank y'all SO much!
