I can't seem to find the perfect e-cig.

My first was the njoy .. I chose this cig first because I can buy refills in the US at local stores .. Problem is, the flavor is HORRIBLE .. at the time I bought my NJOY I didn't know if was possible to refill a cart ..

I purchased the Smoke51 a few days after receiving the NJOY .. The vanilla and chocolate carts taste great, but the batteries die too fast and I can't get any customer service person to reply to my emails. I have only been using them for a month and have 3 batteries that will not take a charge at all .. Can you refill carts with built in atomizers ??I would like to fill my own ..

Decided to try another ..

Today I received the Titan with charger case. I thought it would be great but the lid will not stay shut. Either I can't get it to stay closed at all .. or if I finally get the lid to stay closed, as soon as I put it in my purse, the lid pops open and every thing ends up on the bottom of my purse.

I don't even want one of my Kools any more .. but I feel obligated to carry a pack in case I run into a battery problem dury the day.

Any advice for a newbie ?? That pink cig sure is pretty !!

Also, I am trying to fill my own with the Titan .. I bought vanilla from the same website and I gotta say .. the vanilla is not so great ..

Looks like you're off to a bad start. Let's see what we can do.

Batteries

1. Charge your batteries for at least 12 hours regardless if the green light is on or not.

2. After the 12 hours are up, vape with the batteries for about 20 minutes or so, then put them to charge up again for another 4 hours, again, regardless if the green light is on or not.

3. After the 4 hours, vape with them again for another 1 or 2, then charge again for another 4.

Hopefully, this will get your batteries going. The average battery should last for about 3-4 hours and regardless whether or not the green light is on, always charge them for a minimum of 4 hours.

Refilling Smoke51 Carts

I do not own Smoke51 carts but at one time I did use a Eaze Magnum which is the same model. The way I refilled the carts was to use a curved hook type tool like a fishing hook, dental cleaning hooks etc to pop off the plastic piece at the top. Once it's off, you might find another plastic piece inside, pop that one off as well. Using a dropper, drip along the sides of the cart (not down the middle) until the carts are saturated.

You might also try dripping into the cart from the battery end through the hole. I have a vapor King which is also a 2 piece design and that's how many of us refill with great results.

You might want to try going to bloogplanet.com and order a box of carts from them to see if their carts are any better. I can tell you for sure that they are cheaper than the Smoke51 carts especially if you buy a carton of them.

Lid Problems

Is this a carry case? Try a rubberband :D

Don't give up. I got that SE and tried to convince myself that I liked it. I did like it a lot better when I found e-liquid that I liked. I recently switched to a dse901 and I really like it. I know the 901 comes in pink, is that the one you are referring to?

Sorry, I don't know anything about the built in atomizers.

I do not have the brands you mentioned and without knowing the numbers associated with the device, such as 901, 401, 801, it's hard to give specific advice. If you have had the device 14 days or less, I would hope any reputable seller would refund your money. You might mention you are a member of this forum and will air your displeasure on here if they don't work with you. I have heard some members give good reviews of the Titan.

If you want long battery life, you need a 1000mAh battery which generally gives the user 7-8 hours between charges. All of these have a manual switch, at least that I am aware of. The manual switch allows you to heat up the atomizer as much as you want, which tends to give much better throat hit. You also tend to have much less problems with liquid getting into the battery compartment which will cause batteries to fail. I have the Screwdriver and have found it to be one of the best PV's I have ever used. I have read very good reviews on the Zi Moshi, also. Both have the big, long lasting batteries and the manual switch that tends to be more trouble free.

Here is a poll on PV's people like:

Here are the links for the Screwdriver and the Zi Moshi:

Don't give up. We have all had similar frustrations.

THE PCC TITAN E-CIG CHARGING CASE FROM TECC .. Saw that video and quickly bought the case. It just arrived and the top won't stay shut. Keeps popping up. Sometimes I can coax it to shut, but then as soon as I put it in my purse, the lid flies open and everything dumps out in the bottom of my purse.

I actually love the way the screwdriver works .. I like the eCig NOT looking like a cigarette. It makes it more fun .... I have a 1 1/2 year old grandson .. When I would take out a cigarette he would say "Bubbles??" and go get his little bubble blowing pipe. I thought, if I was vaping with the screwdriver .. maybe the grands won't want to copy me when they grow up with the real thing ... Maybe I should take another look at that one.

For some reason .. I don't really need the nicotine any more .. I just want to do the hand mouth inhale blow out part of my habit.

ALSO .. need to find some flavors in the USA .. Any recomendations?? Something with lots of vapor and flavor. As I said before, the Vanilla from Smoke 51 was fantastic. Went through the first cart in a couple hours .. couldn't stop hitting it.

As a newb and and an Njoy Npro smoker, I would stick with it! I found a great supplier online that ships fast and you can always get ahold of them if ya need to, he has his phone number posted right on the website and Ive talked to him about the different types of ecigs and found that the supermini on his site is the same thing as the npro and you can refill those cartridges with any flavor on his site (his menthol juice is pretty tasty!) at digitalsmokeshop.com

Hope this helps keep your expenses down and the kools in the trash!

The screwdriver is definitely one of the best. Great vapor, great throat hit and batteries that last up to 8 hours.

Juice flavors are very subjective. I hear many good reviews of Totally Wicked but have not tried them myself. My favorites for flavor, vapor and throat hit are puresmokers Riskee and Cola. For smooth tobacco flavor I like www.eastmall.net Kent flavor. Very nice tobacco flavor but not harsh.
