im fairly pleased with my new 510

[ad356]

im happy with my 510, i have been without a single cigarette for over 24 hours now. the e cig has prevented me from becomming a nasty, angry person. surely if i didnt have this e cig i would be hatting the world right now. i actaully enjoy nicotine, which is why it i really dont want to give it up. i never really felt that nicotine was much different that caffiene, and that nicotine itself wasnt evil but the delivery device is evil. cigarettes are engineered by larger companies to make them more addictive, they are created by evil companies therefore they are evil. i do have several observations about my 510

- battery works well but gets eaten up fast, a couple hours or less and it has to be recharged. i had the get the usb passthrough from the car and i had the "smoke with a wire" on the end of my cigarette the rest of the day, lol. passthrough has a nice large battery on it. i really didnt want to go back to traditional cigs for the rest of the day.
- carts get dried up fairly quickly. i filled all three before i went to work, by the time i go home they were all dry. i had the tendency to smoke allot at work, now i vape allot. how long should they normally last?

i ordered an additional pack of carts and an additional battery. one of my next investsments will be a portable charger.

had a couple questions:

-seems like i use this thing an awful lot to try to stem my cravings for cigarettes. but i supposed that vapping allot is better than smoking moderately
- when filling the carts, what is the best way? i read on the internet to flood the cart with fluid. the book said only a 3-4 drops. which is the right way to fill it? is flooding the cart a waste of fluid?

im currently using up the johnsons creek e juice i had from a year ago when i had the npro that i did not like. who makes good e juice products, or is johnsons creek good stuff?

I haven't tried Johnson's creek stuff but it seems to have a very good reputation.

I have been buying from MadVapes. I never really liked the carts even with the different mods out there, blue Fluval works good but still just not for me. I prefer to drip directly onto the atty, or use a Cartomizer. Caromizers are easy to fill cheaper to buy and they hold more liquids. You can give dripping a try just use an empty cart and unscrew it and drip about three drops. It takes a bit of getting used to but once you do it's hard to beat. A drip tip is really the way to go if your dripping.

When I first started I bought two kits so I could have four going in a rotation. That worked great, I also had a PCC but I don't think I even used it twice.

Right now MadVapes is my favorite company. They have great liquids cheap and they also have a good price on 510 cartomizers. Fast shipping and cheap too.

I drip directly when inside (and outside mostly too lol) - I tried cartos but didnt really get on with them as well as with dripping. When I did use carts with filler I found the blue foam was good (you can buy it in petshops, its a fish tank filter) but the orginal filler is ok, just make sure its not packed too tight.
Keep filling the cart until liquid comes to the top and makes the filler look 'mushy'. Then wiggle a toothpick (or similar) down the side to release any air, usually a few more drops can be sqeezed in after that. if the liquid has pooled at the top just lay a paper towel across it WITHOUT pressing down on it to wick away any excess.
