It came! Oh joy it came!

[Katalyst]

Hi everyone! I am happy to announce that my kit arrived today! Thanks to V4L for the little extras. I am soooo impressed with everything! It is even a bit smaller than I expected! Today is the day I smoked my last analog and I am never turning back!

Question: the batteries were both charged (according to indicator lights) already, should I go ahead and charge them both the full 8 hours anyway?

Thanks V4L family you guys are the best!

We say that the batteries come 80-90% charged (I know it says otherwise in the manual). I always tell people to pop them on the charger, and when the light turns green, you are good to go. Enjoy, and let us know if you have any questions.

Nope,V4L sends them charged,usually.Just start vaping and let us know what you think!!

congrats on you kit and happy vaping

 

[EleanorR]

Go ahead and enjoy them until they run empty. At least, that's what I do!

 

[Katalyst]

Sweet! Thanks! I am vaping the WOW Cowboy right now...great throat hit...not a whole lot of vapor coming out, but thats okay!! This is awesome!

Up to 9 batteries. Thought I was going overboard. You can only vape 1 a time. Lost two this weekend. Don't get caught without batteries.

Oh, I'm so happy for you! Put one battery on the charger while you're vaping with the other! When you go to bed (if you go to bed ) put them both on charge.

Enjoy!

 

[sawlight]

YAY!! Yes, lots of batteries! Never too many batteries!

Wow Cowboy is great.....enjoy!

You can never have too many batts... Glad you're enjoying your kit so far Ms. Katalyst.

UPDATE: Day one: I have not had an analog since about 4:30 pm yesterday and have not had the desire for one yet! I am enjoying my new manual kit very much! I find that it is making me cough, hurting my throat a bit and not putting out quite the vapor that I expected. I am vaping the WOW Cowboy 18mg. I wonder if I would have been better off with less nicotine.

I am really enjoying being able to vape at work without having to go outside. My job is high stress and this is REALLY helping a lot. I am not even using it as often as I thought I would.

All in all, I would say it is turning out to be a victorious first day! Thanks for ALL of your continued support!

Katalyst, regarding the vapor production...it might just be that the cart needs a little tweaking (sometimes the center post needs to be pulled up just a tad)...it might also be that the center "hole" on the battery needs to be pulled up a tad as well. Both will result in the carto making a better connection with the battery.

Or maybe you just haven't perfected your drag yet lol... just throwing that in, cause it took me a couple of days to learn how to properly draw on the PV to get a ....-load of vapor.

 

[Mactrick]

Long, slow draws == crazy vapor production. When I do that at work, the guys in my office just watch me and laugh.

 

[Katalyst]

I think it may be my drag technique, like I said it is hurting my throat a bit so I am taking it easier than I normally would. I really appreciate the suggestion on the connection between the carto and battery...I will have to remember that!

 

[ValleyGirl]

It's a lot like drinking through a straw...the technique, that is.

 

[Joyce]

Love seeing your sig banner, Kat...right now you've avoided 32 analogs. That's a full pack and a half. I call that a victory! It took me some time to get the technique down, and I finally hunted up some videos on youtube. I'll see if I can find them again.

Congratulations!

ETA: I found the youtube video that helped me. Go here:

Another thing: along with a long slow inhale...I can't direct inhale to my lungs with these things. Pull the vapor into your mouth first and inhale from there. Of course, some folks do direct inhale so YMMV.

Thanks, Wade...I was really struggling with how to phrase that without sounding like a perv. "Take it into your mouth first" ? (NO)...lol

As the saying goes....it ain't easy being sleazy!

I had to rephrase it several times myself.
