Hi everyone,,,:)

Actually i am oversea student living in Austarlia so my english is not very good but hope you can understand what i want to say...:rolleyes:

I already order a RN4081 from ( ruyandirect )
I have order 1 Starter Kit ,1 atomizar and 30ML 11mg (Marboro) Total :$ 55 USD

But the thing is after i order i find out that E-cig with Nicotine is banned in Austraila! So what will happen ?
Can i still get my RN4081 ?

Sorry about that ,,,but i still want to ask some more question..:p


1.
Some website say :It is better to refill a cartridge about 5-6 times total. After that point, the polyester begins to be damaged and that can cause damage to the atomizer, and a bad taste!.....Is that ture ?

2.
For each time refill a cartridge , how much E-juice will use ?

3.
From (ruyandirect.com) their E-juice got 4 Regular Strength ,24mg ,18mg,11mg,0mg...

But i find in WIK each Marlboro Lights only got 0.6mg Nicotine ,,so one pack will have 15mg..

Is that mean order E-juice 11mg is better for me ?

4.
Is that RN4081 and 501 are better than other E-cig ?
Because everyone tell the newbie to buy one..

5.
The last question is which flavors of E-juice you think is the best ?

Thankyou,,,,,hope you can answer my question...

Hey Fung,

I'm brand new as well and haven't gotten my first e-cig either, but I'll try and help with what I can.

The rn8041 and the 510 are recommended a lot, so I assume that means they are good models that are easy to use. They are not necessarily better than other e-cigs, because different people think different ones are best. That much is obvious by watching all the model comparison videos. I myself am getting the 510 model ... ;)

As far as your question about which flavors are best, there are two or three threads floating around and some of them even have polls to show which flavors most people prefer. I can't link them to you, but just search and you will find them very easily.

The nicotine strength of e-liquids confuses me a bit as well. I've heard that you should figure out what nicotine level was in the analog cigarettes you were smoking and determine what level you are used to ... then lower it a bit when buying your e-juice because most people vape more than they smoked (so that should equal out their levels). However, I have read that most people buy the 36mg e-juice ... so I'm a little unsure.

I know I didn't answer your questions, but hopefully someone more knowledgeable will do so.

Good luck and happy vaping !!

I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro Lights Menthol. I have been using ~12mg juice, and have been content. It's different for everyone. It's usually suggested to buy some higher nicotine juice, and some lower nicotine juice (of the same flavor) and mix them to lower the level of nicotine, if that is preferable.

When I got my first order I got Janty High, Medium, and Low. The Medium suited me best. Once I know that, I mixed the High and Low together to make a double batch of Medium.

Trapped within my imagination
Hi Fung and welcome

Just a guess here- but, I'm guessing you'll receive your e-cig with no problems..If by some slim chance you do experience any problems..I'd suggest you contact your supplier ( runyandirect) k ..(smile)
Sounds like you have already done some research ( you ordered the extra atomizer and e-liquid lol)...If you haven't done so already..I'd also suggest watching Spikeys video " Comprehensive Intro to vaping"..Everyone new to vaping should - very informative..

1) Yes, after time the filling will deteriorate and you'll need to either buy more blank carts or replace the filling..There are also videos in the newbie forum on how to do this and what to use to refill...

2) How much liquid to put in your cart depends on the size of the cart..I am not familiar with RN4081 ( anyone know if this is an DSE801?).. I'd put enough drops in to fill the cart a little over half way..Put the filling back in, using tweezers "dunk the filling a few times in the liquid, pull it back up to the top of the cart, then add a few more drops to the top of it ( you want it to look nice and moist "not pooling" on top"

3) I'm not real good at comparing the exact amount of nicotine in eliquid to an analog/cig..I do know from researching this forum that it is considerably less and the absorption of nicotine is way slower through vaping then it is for an actual analog/cig.. A lot will depend on how many analogs you smoked before vaping as to how many mg's will work for you.. Some find that 11mg is a nice start...I personally had to increase to 18-24 mg to knock back the withdrawls of analogs/cigs ( you have to listen to what your body is telling you) I personally would find someone selling a sample pack of liquids or buy 3- 10 ml bottles in different flavors and mg's...Honestly, I would not worry so much about what mg is going to match your cig consumption exactly..I would buy at least an 11mg and 18..From there you will know if you need to increase to 24 or drop to a 6 mg..Some vape say an 11 all day and use say a 24 onlywhen they need it.

4) Like I said, I'm not familiar with your RN4081..I do have a 510 and I really like it..But, I would suggest not worrying about what to advance to right off..Just get to know your RN4081..Master how to use it the very best way, because e-cigs have a learning curve to them..It sometimes takes a week or two to get it down just right..In the meantime keep researching this board and ask questions = best way to learn it all..

5) This Question is hard lol..Taste is very subjective..It is a real search finding the flavor that is the perfect all day vape..That's why I suggested finding the suppliers that offer sample packs...Some people like the tobacco flavors..Others like the fruit flavors..Some the coffees/tea/choc/vanillas...For tobaccos, I'd probably suggest getting 2 -Dunhill ( most like an analog to me..not a lot of sweetness or background flavors such as carmel etc ( if you like Dunhill you may also like Cubin Cigar-Turkish blend-Kent- runyan#4(like smoke)..The other would be a flue cured tobacco- It's a little sweeter with some of the background flavors that are also present in RY4 and 555 ect, if you like this one you may also like RY4- (not to be confused with runyan#4 (like smoke) - 555 (nutty flavor) ...Depending on which one of those you prefer will tell you which way you'll probably lean, sweet or non sweet..
For fruits, I find most grapes and watermelons to be strong flavored..Where as say strawberry and apples are usually not as strong/sweet..
Coffees, I'd probably end up with one in each of these categories coffee, cappuccino(more of a spicey note), mocha(more of a creamy chocolate note)..All three of these are very different
Then there are the more exotic flavors- black tea(mildly sweet), Cotton candy( good n sweet)..Rose ( just like it says) and many more...
Mints/menthols- not to be confused..Mint is sweeter ( I like janes kick juice/abandon mint)..I'm not a huge menthol fan, so not much help there..I buy menthol drops from JuicyLiquid..I often add one drop of mint and one drop of menthol to boost a flavor..Its a nice middle ground for me..

There are approximately 20-25 drops per ml..Depending on the dropper.

Watching the Comprehensive video will teach you most of this and much more...Ok, my coffee cup is empty..I'm done typing lol..Have fun and good luck..

    Somewhere between here and there
    I have been vaping for about five days now and have read many posts on this forum. I am no expert but I will try to help. As for your first question about refilling the carts. I have not heard this but if you can buy a bag of polyfill very cheap to replace the material in your carts. Question number two: I can usually get about 8-10 drops of liquid into each cart. I don't know how many drops in a ml. Question3: As far as the nicotine level, it sounds like you smoke about a pack a day to get 15mg. I would try the 11 and see if you feel satisfied. I smoked 1 and 1/2 packs a day and am finding that the 18mg strength is a little light for me sometimes. Question4: I don't know about the 4081. I bought two joye 510 kits and am liking it very much. I get lots of vapor and pretty good throat hit depending on what juice I use.Question 5: I have read several posts about juice flavors and it is pretty much a personal preference thing. This I can tell you, I was a menthol smoker and have tried a few different mints and menthols. They are ok. So far my favorites have been johnson creek original,tennessee cured, and arctic mint. I also like the vanilla that I got from ruyan. I have heard several people say that if they were a menthol smoker they don't care that much for the menthol when vaping. I have also heard alot about ry4 and kent. I have ordered a sampler of ry4 to try because I just have to find out for myself.
    I would strongly suggest you check out the intro to vaping on the new members forum and there is also a good post at the top of the posts about nicotine levels. I hope I have helped just a little.

    I can't answer that, but I suspect the folks at this link may be able to help.

    Sorry about that ,,,but i still want to ask some more question..


    1.
    Some website say :It is better to refill a cartridge about 5-6 times total. After that point, the polyester begins to be damaged and that can cause damage to the atomizer, and a bad taste!.....Is that ture ?

    after a few times the filler doesn't wick as well and performance isn't as good. many folks simply add fresh filler.
    some tips and tricks here:

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/9541-cartridge-filler-materials.html


    2.
    For each time refill a cartridge , how much E-juice will use ?

    I am not familiar with this model - you can use the search function up at the top of pages. plug in 4081 (search either threads or posts)

    3.
    From (ruyandirect.com) their E-juice got 4 Regular Strength ,24mg ,18mg,11mg,0mg...

    But i find in WIK each Marlboro Lights only got 0.6mg Nicotine ,,so one pack will have 15mg..

    Is that mean order E-juice 11mg is better for me ?

    many folks suggest starting high mg - to help with any nicotine craving you may encounter.
    I suggest having both a higher cart for intense cravings and lower carts, too.
    you will most likely be hitting this thing very frequently, the lower doseage will protect you from too much nicotine (IMO).

    more info here:

    4.
    Is that RN4081 and 501 are better than other E-cig ?
    Because everyone tell the newbie to buy one..

    the 901 and 510 are recommended because they work well, are somewhat reliable, relatively easy to use and care for, have easily found replaceable parts, and are only slightly larger than a tobacco cigarette

    5.
    The last question is which flavors of E-juice you think is the best ?

    this really depends on personal taste.
    here's one thread:

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/e-liquid-reviews/25864-my-ongoing-juice-reviews.html
    and the entire "juice review" forum:
    E-Liquid Reviews - Page 2 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat


    Thankyou,,,,,hope you can answer my question...
    also:
    there are "stickies" at the top of this new member forum. a lot of information for beginners.
    I suggest spikeys video - it's long, but will answer many questions:
    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...2-new-updated-comprehensive-intro-vaping.html

    "search" up towards the top of pages is your friend. I found it's easier to find specific information when choosing the search by posts.

    good luck!
