Making the switch

[defdock]

i have always wanted to switch to ecigs ever since they came out. SADLY i am a ten year smoker, an i really beleive i NEED to make the switch.


within the lst month, i have bought 3 disposables, non of them lasting longer then 24Hours(sadly)...

i recently traded my "tobacco" pipe for an ACTUAL name brand ecig, with 2 empty cartOs and 1 semi full one.
i used the cart up so now i have 3 empties. i have a CIG2O brand evape. i can only find replacement cartOs online, witch is really sad.... and was told not to refill these empty cartOs as the atomizers are "crappy" hence why they are disposable.

cig2o.com - website

i am VERY new to most of this ecig jig stuff, but i have a ....-ton of questions.


1. in YOUR oppinion, could i just refil the cartOs with ejuice?
2. i took one apart and lost the wadding.... so i put cotton around the wic thingy in the middle, is that ok?
3. i understand there are ecigs with same MODELS and that the carts are interchangeable, what carts would fit my CIG2O?
4. JUST OUT OF CURRIOSITY could i fill a cart up with just water, and would it vape? and would water vape be dangerous to inhail?

Yes , by all means , just get some juice and refill the carts . Eventually you will probably start using carto's (atty and cart , in one) There are plenty of blogs and videos on the forum pertaining to the methods used . And Welcome to ECF , by the way .

1. You could. OR you could use cartomizers. What threading does your unit use? Do you know? (510,801,808,ect)

2.Wait. Are you talking about a cartomizer now?

3. Do you have a link to what a cig20 is? I've never heard of it. Any idea what kind of rebranded ecigg it might be?

4. I don't think it would be dangerous, while i'm not sure so don't quote me I think it might short circuit out a cartomizer. Never tried it myself.

I don't think cotton is a good wick material, most are a polyfill material, like what is used for making pillows or blankets. Also fish tank filter material can be used. You can google e-cig cartridge filler and get more info.
I'm no expert on e-cigs, so I couldn't help with the CIG20 compatibility question,
And water will not vape, you can add VG, mixed with distilled water to get it to vaporize. Walmart sells VG, I found it in the beauty section, skin protectant, Glycerin, made by Humco. You won't have any nic, or flavor, but it will produce vapor.

the battery is a male connector- ALL other ecigs i have seen are female conectors, and idk about the threads. cig2o.com has a picture or diagram of their product.

yes but if it leaks you may damage or kill your automatic battery. I recommend manual batteries which are a bit harder to kill. And learn to clean the cartomizer up very well before putting on your battery. If you run a carto totally dry and singe it, adding new juice will help but ot get rid of burnt flavor. I can get 7 days use of of a GOOD KR808D-1 cartomizer. And by GOOD I means SmokelessImage or Bloogplanet cartos. ANd I only use thin clear juices to get that amount of life out of a carto. (80PG/20VG or less VG). Cig2o and Cig2Go should be able to use those cartos I mentioned.

2. i took one apart and lost the wadding.... so i put cotton around the wic thingy in the middle, is that ok?

it may or may not be OK. It may burn.

3. i understand there are ecigs with same MODELS and that the carts are interchangeable, what carts would fit my CIG2O?


KR808D-1 standard resistance cartos 2.5 to 3 ohms like Vapor4Life aka V4L, SmokelessImage, Bloogplanet, Halocig G6 and other cartos sold at multibrand shops and I recommend Kanger KR808D-1 2.6ohm horizontal col cartomizer blanks (should be same as Blloog and SmokelessImage I think)

4. JUST OUT OF CURRIOSITY could i fill a cart up with just water, and would it vape? and would water vape be dangerous to inhail?

You may burn yourself with steam.

i didnt run them dry, as i am fearfull that in the case i CAN refill these cartos, i would have broke the atty. so 2 of these cartos still have some juice in them.


KR808D-1? your 100% possitive? and as for blank... you mean empty? as i have to fill them myself? im looking for prefilled ones hopefully cheap... but if it saves money to fill them yourself, then nvm.


sorry if i am unclear about anything.

update: cant find any e juice in any local shops. just bought another disposable and put the padding into my cartos. it filled 2 some what and got juice all in my hands but oh well. and the carto with cotton i found out is broke.
