Hi everyone and thank you for allowing me to be part of this group. I'm new to the e-cig's and purchased mine today from a 7-11 I bought the N-Joy brand. My habit of smoking is I guess like alot of people here, I don't really care about having the nicotine I care more about the hand to mouth part of smoking. I'm wondering since I only want the vapor can I just keep using my cartridge or does it have to be refilled with a recipe for e-juice? Please forgive me since i am a clueless newbie who is trying to learn. Again, thank you!

Not sure I understand your question but will give it a shot. Once your cart runs out of e-liquid you won't have any more vapor and will get a burned sensation. You can either go with some flavored e-liquids with 0 mg nic or if you don't care about flavor or nic you could just get some VG and/or PG locally (most stores carry it really cheap) and fill your cart as needed to get unflavored vapor and throat hit. If your cart is filled with fluval/polly, you may want to replace with a blue foam which will last pretty much forever if you use it this way.

I may be way off base with this answer, but welcome.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Yes you'll have to keep refilling your cartridges with juice. You can get 0 nic juice from quite a few vendors. Here's a couple that have that option:

Tasty Vapor 2 oz Doublers Their doublers are basically no nic juice and they're cheap.

VaporBomb.com lets you select what nic level you want and 0 is an option.

BlueMist Vaping Supplies also has no nic options.

You will need to replace the cartridge or the filler material inside once it starts wearing out so you should consider getting some replacements.

I think that pretty much covers it except I would like to clarify one thing. Most of the forum members are long-time nicotine addicts, former smokers of 20-50 years. E-cigs are not just a hand/mouth pacifier.

That being said, you can and should re-fill your cart with e-liquid that's approved for e-cigarette use. You can't fill it with water, juice, liquor, whatever. E-liquid can be had from a lot of different vendors or you can even make your own. Since it sounds like you are not addicted to nicotine may I please recommend that you purchase 0 mg nicotine e-liquid for re-filling purposes.

I would be careful with the "not addicted to nicotine" thing. Definitely get some 0mg juice, but I'd also recommend having a little bit of 24mg juice on hand "just in case". If you find yourself getting crabby or short with people while on the 0mg, or you get cravings that the e-cig just doesn't seem to handle, pop on the 24mg and vape on that for a minute or two and see how you feel.

Hopefully you really aren't addicted to nicotine, but if you're like most of us you'll probably need to ramp down the nicotine over time to avoid nasty withdrawal effects.

Thought just hit me.
What is 0mg of nicotine.
If it's 0mg then how can it be nicotine? That's like 0% interest. Maybe I'm missing something here.
Could you not just vape VG or Pg maybe a mixture of both.

I think what was meant is 0% nicotine selection. When ordering, they usually ask what percentage of nicotine you want. e,g, 0mg,18mg, 24mg, 36mg. Every vendor tends to offer a little different selections.

Is it the 2-piece Njoy Npro? I believe that is an RN4081 and you can also buy blank cartomizers for it, and also an atomizer which you would use with carts (making it a 3-piece)

Here is a small selection of Rn4081 cartomzers including black blanks - the same place also sells some other RN4081 parts
The Better Way To Smoke - RN4081 Cartomizers
If the cartomizers have a hard or glued cap on the mouth end then you can probably fill this way

Thank you all so much for the replies. Its not that I am not addicted to nicotene ( I have smoked over a pack a day for the past 40 years) I am just trying to find something that will help me with the hand to mouth addiction thats my biggest problem. I talk on the phone and reach for a cig, I talk to someone at home and reach for a cig, I'm comfortable with the N-Joy's but am hoping I will be able to master the refilling of the filter with a zero nicotene product. Again thank you for the welcome and the replies.

I know the cig = phone syndrome well.

My question to you though is- do you really think 0 nicotine is going to get you off the analogs(cigs). For me, it most definitely would not have. I was a long time smoker and definitely needed the nicotine to prevent me from smoking.

I figure I can always reduce the amount of nicotine as time went on. But my goal in the beginning is just to not smoke cigs.
The rest will come. Or maybe not. I enjoy vaping.

Does the end of the Njoy pop off to fill?

I know there is no nicotine in 0mg.
I just think it is useless to say 0mg.
Why not e-juice with no nic, or pure juice with no nicotine, or no nic juice.
Like I said it's like 0% interest. Why not financing with no interest.
I just guess it sounds stupid to me. Maybe just a lazy way so you say or write less.

I'm going to second that. Remember, nicotine is not worse for you than caffeine, it just has a bad rap because of cigarettes. The average vaper on this forum uses 24mg nicotine juice - about 3ml per day.. Hand mouth stimuli is great, but it won't be likely to get you off cigarettes. If it did, the old toothpick trick would work (it doesn't) or the sunflower seed trick would work (nope).

If you have smoked a pack a day for the last 40 years, why do you think you aren't addicted to nicotine?

I haven't tried to take it apart yet, I did see a video on YouTube where the person said to fill the little plastic end cap with the juice and then put the filter part in the plastic cap and let it soak in then repeat so I am guessing that it doesn't come apart but it can be refilled.
