just recieved smoketip

[cookiebun]

I am totally happy with it and now that I've tried the menthol flavor I think I've found my flavor. Never liked menthol cigarettes but it's perfect for the e cig.
I can't stop sucking on this thing. Can I get a nicotine overdose???

I just got a KR-808D1 too. Like you I'm sucking on it constantly.
I realize now that I didn't order a strong enough dose of nicotine. How strong is your nicotine dose?
I've also found that I have to draw harder and don't get as much vapor when using the prefilled cartomizers that came with my kit. I also ordered some blank cartomizers and a small bottle of ejuice.
I put some juice in an empty cartomizer and found that a lot more satisfying.
Hope this helps.

That's the trade-off to me with a KR808. It is a harder draw than an ego. I've tried the Smoke Tip & V4L. Draw is slightly better on the V4L but still not like an ego. If that's what you like. Some people don't like that 'in your face' draw. My Mom doesn't. I got her a Riva and she prefers a KR808.

V4L sells up to a 36 nicotine. That's what I got for my mom when she started because that's what she needed to quit. She's now down to a 12 or an 9 nicotine. You need to get whatever strength you need to help you quit. If you don't, you'll be going through cartridges like a mad woman.

I'm on 12mgs. Very satisfying to me being a Marlboro Lights smoker. As the battery and/or cart starts to die, I notice a great difference in vapor output. I wish every inhale was as strong and flavorful as the one with fresh cart/batt but I guess that won't happen until I use my own juice.

Menthols are very addictive. Can't put them down!

I am going through carts like a mad woman. I got up at 7 am and I've had to refill twice (12:38 pm now).
That was with 8mg juice. I've ordered some 18mg juice that should arrive early next week . Hope that does the trick.
I went through 3 11mg cartomizers yesterday.

Please forgive the Ego-pushers. They think everyone needs the same ecig.

Smoketip is NOT a poor model - If I am correct is is KR808D-1, the most popular 2-piece slim ecig on this forum.

You probably have an automatic battery - most of us KR8 vapers use manual batteries from Vapor4Life or plain KR808D-1 manual batteries from places like LiteCigUSA.net and VaporLeaf.com

You could have a dud battery with a hard-to-trigger drag sensor - it should not be that hard. But it can be work to use autos. Do yourself a favor and order a manual battery to try.

it could be the battery or the carto...

Did you only get one battery? How is the drag with your other battery?

Did you try more than one cartomizer? Sometimes one cartomizer is hard to draw.

Try another cartomizer. If that doesn't help then call Smoketip and make them exchange the battery.

Well, I'm not an ego pusher. I'm happy with mine and it really makes no difference to me what others use to vape.

I've tried the Smoke Tip, V4L XL pv, Riva and Joye Ego and a cheap disposable.

Of the 5 I've tried it's my opinion that the draw is easier on the Riva and Joye. That's all I can offer, my fairly recent opinion on different models. It doesn't make it better, just an easier draw. Manual easier than automatic, V4L easier than ST.

Hi all thank you for the replys. In the starter kit there are 2 batterys and I bought the 16mg carts. I am a marboro smoker and went with the highest mg they had. It is getting better since I went with the tip catus girl gave me on taking 2 short draws and then 1 long one so now I feel better about it. I still have smoked some regular cigerettes but am still hoping to cut them out completely. I smoke about 2 packs a day and today have only had around 7 all together so far today. I guess it takes getting used to but I was hoping for a little more like actually smoking. So question to all of you do you have to do the 2 short draws and 1 long to get the satisfaction you need or is yours just as satisfing as when you smoked regular cigerettes?

With autos you may need to do a warm-up drag then your real drag. Once the carto is warm you may not need the extra drag.


And swedishfish - I didn't mean you. I mean the 2nd post on the first page of this thread.

Sorry I'm still ignorant about the lingo. What does pv mean?
Thanks for the tips!
