So I am looking around different websites looking to order some different flavored liquids and I thought of a question. If this is what the kit I ordered includes:

Included in this kit is 2 650mah batteries, 2 atomizers, 1 atomizer cover, 5 prefilled carts (Asst Tobacco), 1 eGo fast USB charger, 1 AC to USB adapter, 1 pouch, 1 instruction sheet. Instead of a 3ml sample bottle, the eGo kit comes with a full bottle of e-liquid. Please choose flavor and strength. All eGo batteries now have 5 click protection. Press the button 5 times quickly to turn on or off "

then WHERE am I putting the flavors? In the prefilled carts? What I want to vape on something that is nicotine free (and the prefilled carts are nicotine based) What do I need to purchase?

Sorry if this question does not make any sense, I am such a noob!!!

you can empty the carts, just pull out the filler and rinse it all under water, then dry. you can reuse carts and most people try cartos, tanks, etc also, so don't go crazy buying a lot of new carts right off the bat!
dripping is good for trying new flavors. you just drop a drop or two on the atty, and put on a drip tip and vape.

You put the "flavors" in the prefilled carts when the prefilled carts need refilled, or you order blank (empty) carts to use it in. You usually get a choice of flavor and strength of nicotine with the carts, so you should be able to get 0mg nicotine in any flavor they have available (usually a dropdown menu on the order page). Same goes for the full bottle of e-liquid.

Hope that helps.

As cags said, you can empty the carts when they come in and refill them with whatever 0-nicotine juice you get. When you place the order, there might be a place to tag a note along with the order, and you could ask them to pre-fill the carts with 0-nicotine. Or not pre-fill them at all.

But carts are pretty useless, as I'm sure you've been told. You could pick up some blank cartomizers and fill those once you find a juice you like.

You might also want to give cartomizers a try as well. Carts are a great way to test juice but cartomizers hold more juice. Great to try both and see what works best for you.

You get a free bottle of juice when you get cartomizers from Joogler and $5.00 off your first purchase with the code ECF5OFF. Try the boge 2.0 cartomizers.

Cartomizers

It'll only cost you $2.00 plus shipping. I'd also pick up a drip tip.

Just started last month myself.

with some of the simple kits people purchase at the corner stores, most people dislike these - not enough vapor.
went with the ego -t, enjoy the vapor, different flavors of ejuice i could add, hated the leaking.
currently using the bud atomizers, like the no leaking and filling the cartomizer/atomizer with fluid and last most of the day.

most people i have talked to, and there have been a dozen people here at work that have switched to vaping. they start with cigarette flavored and switch to flavored e-juices.
I personnaly dont want it to look like a cigarette, taste like a cigarette, I want to get away from cigarette as much as possible.

so if i get the urge to smoke a cigarette i do, and about half way through it, it taste like crap and i don't want it anymore.

if you try it and don't like it, try a different flavor, find something that works for you.

One important thing for you to keep in mind is that the kit you order comes with enough stuff to get you started, but there are other ways to vape.

You can use regular cartomizers. You can use EMDCC's (really big cartomizers.) You can use carts. You can use an atomizer and a drip tip. You can use ego tanks. You can even use the big tanks that have a cartomizer inside and hold tons of fluid. Y

All of those things will screw on to your eGo batteries. Different people like different things. I didn't like regular cartomizers - they were pain to fill, and I had to refill them far too often. I liked the ego T type A tanks better, but still had to refill more often than I wanted. I was going to try the type B tanks (which are bigger), but someone pointed me to EMDCC's. I've been pretty happy with those, so that's what I'm using now.

My point is, what comes with your kit isn't the only way, and it's fairly likely that a few months from now, you will have found something you like better. So at first, I'd recommend not ordering a bunch of cartomizers based on thinking "I'll be using these forever, I should stock up". Don't order a bunch of tanks and tank atomizers, for the same reason. Try things out, experiment around a bit, and find what you like. Then, once you're pretty sure you like a system well enough that you won't be moving to something else soon after, you can stock up.

This will cost you a little more in delivery fees, but it'll save you money over buying a bunch of stuff that you don't use.

I'd stay away from prefilled carts or cartomizers. That adds a lot to the cost of vaping, and you may as well learn to fill your own, no matter what you're using.
