Hey,

I just received the e-power I ordered earlier this week from Hoosier E-cig Supply. It works great. It took a little while to figure everything out but and I've got everything working except one item that I ordered. What confused me was the cartridges that came with the e-power were supposed to be empty and I thought I had to fill them with the e-juice I ordered. When I opened the first cartridge up I noticed the wrapper read, "Marlboro 18 mg." and I could see that it was already loaded with juice. I read the manual and it said to just plop it in and go so I did. It worked great and I got a nice plume of vapor and a decent throat hit.

I also ordered some cartomizers and those were empty so I loaded one up with the 24 mg RY4 juice and bam! did it pack a punch! Great throat hit and excellent caramel flavor. Really, really good! The weird thing about the carts is that they didn't have that cottony material in them like the pre-filled cartridges did. Is that normal? It had a much denser material in it and it didn't seem to have as much of it as the pre-filled ones. I thought it would leak right through the other side because I could see all the way through it (there's a tiny hole that passes through the middle of it) but I added drops until the top got a little pool of e-juice on the top. I let it soak in, attached the little extra tapered mouthpiece to the end, screwed it on and it worked great.

There's also a dual cartomizer in the box (and I think it's a LR) but i haven't tried it yet.

I can tell you with certainty that I enjoy vaping much more than smoking analogs. No question about it. I can also tell you that I will be ordering some more e-juice flavors right away. I want to try some less tobacco-type juice so I'm looking for some recommendations. I didn't think I would like the flavors other than tobacco but after tasting that caramel I know I will.

So, now that I've popped my vape cherry, I'm looking for suggestions from y'all. What is your favorite flavor of e-juice and why do you like it. Also, where would you suggest buying e-juice from. Some of you gave me some recommendation for vendors when I posted my intro post earlier this week but I am feeling a little more adventurous now so hit me with your best flavors.

Glad to here you like the E-Power I just ordered me one last night. I am using clones to start out and it was a good learning curve but I can see I will be ordering a GVL-2 or Reo Grand soon. With the stock cartos that came with my Blu pack I ordered Classic Tobacco, Java Jolt and Vivid Vanilla and I like Java Jolt the best. I also ordered Johnson Creek party packs and Chocolate Truffle is ok but there are much better flavors from the vendors on this site, good luck.

+1 for the e-power! And your duel coil is more that likely the duel 3.0 ohm coils which should put them in the 1.5 ohm range. Shouldn't be a problem for your e-power. It should hold a lot of juice on fill-up. (50 + drops depending on drop size). TH is definitely there with the DCs so I suggest picking a milder juice that you like a lot if you have one.

Glad you are so happy with your first kit (yes, there will be more!)
I'm about eleven weeks in and have only liked the strong mint flavors up until this week, but I think my taste buds finally woke up after a 30 year sleep! Tried five new juices this week and liked them all...So my advice would be get lots of samples and hang on to the ones you don't think you like, cause change will come to your taste!
And yes your cartomizer sounds perfectly normal - congrats on figuring it all out so quick. Took me weeks.

Good Saturday morning everyone! Thanks for the recommendations. The Gourmet Vapor site looks good. They have a "create your own juice" option that is really cool. I can add all the flavors I like, determine the PG/VG %, tweak the strength of the flavoring and decide on the nicotine content. I feel a coconut chocolate coffee vape in the making. I think I'll call it Java Mounds Juice! Add a touch of almond to the mix and I've got Java Mound Joy Juice! I like the fact that I can buy small, 5 ml bottles so I can try a bunch of different flavors at little risk.

I tried dripping this morning. It didn't really do much for me. I just tried the dual LR cart and it almost knocked me down it was such a monster kick! Loved it. I think the dual cart will allow me to go with a lower nicotine concentration.

Quick question: How many posts/threads do I have to have before I can post elsewhere on the forum. I've started two threads in the New Member area and I've posted 3 or 4 times to these two threads. Do I get to level up yet? :2cool:
