Depends if you love to fiddle... lol. A lot of people like the new CE2's. But you have to fill those with a syringe. Perhaps I am a total lazy ..., but not going there. I use standard BOGE 510. LiteCigUSA has them for $8 for a box of 5.

Personally, anything that requires a hassle is not in my future...

The new XL Mega for the EGO also require a syringe, fyi. They are also not in my future for this reason...

Would the condom method work for refilling these?

OK

For which? No, it won't work for the CE2's or the XL. Why I find it very unlikely I will ever buy them. Again, for those two types, you need to fill with a syringe. Not happening for me personally.

The standard 510 BOGES - yes. Can use that method.

This should be stickied.

I would have found it extremely helpful when I was starting out.

Thanks. it is a bit simplistic for them to consider that. The problem is people involved in this even a couple of weeks forget that a newb is overwhelmed with information. Exactly why I tried to make this simple.

In college I could easily make an A in any course, if I felt like going to class. And I attended arguably the best University in the SW. The first 2 days on this site i was like... holy cow... this is a bit much just to puff an ecig......LOL.

I'll throw in my:2c: of newbie advice. I remember wanting one that looked as close to a ciggie as I could get, so I ordered 2-510 kits, one for hubby and one for me. I reluctantly picked a black one, only because I figured it would look nice longer than white. We both stopped smoking the day we got it and less than two weeks later, we couldn't care less that it looked like a cigarette. We loved the fact that we had something that changed our lives for the better. The more you vape, the less attractive analogs get. Two weeks later, two Ego kits arrived on our door steps. I don't regret the upgrade. Each day of vaping pleasure steers you further away from the desire to want to smoke. You think it's important when making your initial purchase to pick an analog look a like and a month or so down the road, you find yourself wishing you had a bigger and longer lasting battery, some different colors and constantly scan the forums to see if anything new has come out. This new world you've stepped into can quickly become a hobby and/or and obsession. Good luck and I hope you find it easy and pleasurable. The true beauty of vaping is knowing you're being kind to your body and nursing it back to health while indulging in every flavor your heart desires. It just doesn't get any better than this. Not once have I stressed over wanting to smoke. My Ego takes very good care of me. :)

So the Joye 510 is easy to refill correct. I was watching reviews and heard that the 510 battery is pretty weak so I was going to get the PCC, any other accessory suggestions for a first time buyer. I'm getting the 510 starter kit with2 x Atomizers,
2 x Rechargeable Batteries with a manual switch, 1 x Battery Charger, 5 x Medium Nicotine Cartridges, and the Joye 510 PCC.

Am I missing anything?

Forget cartridges. Almost useless. Others may not agree - but this my thread,, lol. Either use the atomizer to drip and get a drip tip, or buy cartomizers. Personally I do use the atty/cart combo once or twice a day for a couple of good hits, but the same could be better accomplished dripping.

I just want to say that don't let needing a syringe to fill an XL or a e-2 ceramic type cartomzier scare you off. It really is a very simple procedure that only takes a minute or two and each refill lasts for hours of care-free vaping. :) :vapor:

PS- And how the heck is this battery that I've been using since 3pm yesterday (18 hours) still going? :lol:

constant state of confusion
I didn't care if mine looked like and analog or not, I just wanted one. I was suprised at how natrual it felt when I got my ego. It didn't feel weird at all and I think because it doesn't feel like an analog, it makes me want analogs less.
I thought I wanted a pcc, but with the ego battery, I don't need it. It would be just one more thing to lug around and is another reminder of analogs.
I came to this forum because with a monthly income of $240, I couldn't afford to make a mistake that I would have to upgrade later. The community members here know what they are talking about. They have "been there, done that."
My newbie advice is to forget your preconceived ideas about what you think you want and need and pay attention to those who have made the mistakes for you. An ego may not be right for you, but they know what the best alternatives are. The advice you find here will save you money initially. I only say initially because the addiction of buying juices and gadgets and mailman stalking will set in for you soon enough.

Perhaps. But me = lazy smoker. LOL I may try them, not saying I won't. I just am not a fan of required hassle to puff... Regardless, it certainly is a better option than topping off a cart every 52 seconds....

Eventually i am going to get someone to explain to me exactly why they do this option. It makes zero sense, or very little.

They will immediately say better hit. Ok, then drip. Debate is basically over in one sentence.

So why do people drip into the atty instead of just refilling the cart with the fluid?

Exactly. You are saying drip. You have to have an atomizer to drip. (Someone don't start in and say it is possible to do that with a carto). Dripping is NOT the same as using a cart. People drip to have the juice flow directly to the atomizer to get a stronger hit, and not use a cart. Exactly my point. If you want to fiddle with all that to get a good hit, the cart has no value.

If I may chime in here?
Please, if you are going to get a 510, get the Ego. The battery life is tremendously longer and you will have no need for a PCC (charger on the go). With 2 Ego bats charged you will make it all day and then some.
I have big bat mods, Chameleon, Precise, Little Sister, Bottom Fed Juice Boxes and the like. I love them all. For a standard e-cig, the Ego battery is the longest running charge to date.
