First I want to say a huge thank you to all those who have helped me so far. I FINALLY got my starter kit in the mail.:D What everyone said was true; I was constantly watching my mail and got so darned pumped up when it finally came. BUT, here's my issue. I cannot charge the battery.:( I ordered,(I know, I know), from electroniccigarette.net in the UK from Ebay. I now know I could have ordered from the US. At any rate, I have the DSE-901. It says mini cigarette on the box, but it looks really big.LOL It is white, with tan catridge. I received a 240V UK 3 Pin Charger. Well, I live in the US and, for obvious reasons, cannot use it. I need to know where I can get a charger here locally. Someone here told me Radio Shack. If so, what charger do I get? I don't know the first thing about this stuff. I don't want to buy the wrong one and break things before I even use it.LOL I basically just want to walk in to Radio Shack and know what to pick up. Also, where is the best place in the US online to buy all the back ups I need; atomizer, batteries, USB passthrough thingee, liquid, etc. I don't want to spend a fortune either. Should I just get another starter kit? Where should I get it? Hehe, tons of questions I know. I am sure the answers are all here in the forum, but I am blurry eyed reading all the info. Thanks for any help you can give me.:confused:

Take the charger to radio shack, and ask if they have a cord for it.... They should have one.
Hi. Thanks for responding to me. When you say they should have a cord for it, do you mean a adapter to plug into the wall? (one that is for the USA). I think that's what you mean, but just want to clarify. Also, how will I know that THEY know the right volts or whatever. I don't want to fry the battery charger thingee. I'm sorry if I sound dense, but I really am clueless.LOL Just pretend that you really don't notice it.(hehe)

I think you can get a convertor from Radio Shack. Just take the charger with you and show them what you need.
Thanks to you also for helping me out. Do you know what a good site is to get everything I will need: I really want to get another starter kit like the one I just got, plus liquid, atomizers, batteries, you know. There are soooooo many here to choose from. I want to buy from the US because I live here. The conversion rate killed me on my first purchase. Thanks so much.:)
 
Not sure about an actual converter for euro->us outlet (only seen 2 prong ones), but does your charger have another input in it for 12-24 volts? If so, then you can go to Radio Shack or even Wal-Mart and get a universal power transformer that will plug into that hole. That spot is generally used for plugging a car charger cable in.

No cluenessness here :) The charger will have voltage specs on the backside. They should be able to recommend a cord that you would use to plug the charger into the wall.

I bought an Njoy kit from a Pilot truck stop. Then I bought a kit plus juice from puresmoker recommended on this site that sells out of Tenn. I believe there is a NY seller mentioned here as well.

Thanks for all of the info everyone. lHitWonder, can you tell me the NY seller? I cannot seem to find it. I have searched here. I think I have the US/UK adapter thing handled....go to Radio Shack and let them deal with it.LOL As far as my supplies, I'll hope to find that NY seller. If not, I'll gladly take any pointers. Thanks so much!! I can't wait until my batteries are charged and I can start vaping.

I just tried to place an order through them. I wanted another starter kit and a couple of atomizers, as well as a bunch of other stuff. They are out of starter kits and atomisers. Guess I'll have to wait. Do you know how long the wait will be. I sent them an email, but nothing back yet. Thanks for the info.:) BTW, I just put in a cartridge and puffed for the very first time. I didn't charge the battery yet tho, because the adapter is one of the things I have to get for the charger. It started out great, but then not so much. Should I have charged for the 12 hours first before using it? I just couldn't wait; the curiousity was killing me.lol Do you think by doing this, I hurt the battery or anything?

I don't know about stock status at myvaporstore. My first order from them was Thursday night and I got it this morning. WOW fast!
No you didn't hurt the battery by trying it. You can keep using it until it starts flashing and then it will need charging.
Does the back of your charger look like this? Here's the cable you need from Radio Shack.

Glad you received your kit and hope it gets sorted and works well. :)

You had the same questions in your first thread and lots of folks replied. I hope you are taking advantage of those responses also.

Yes!!:) That is exactly it. Thanks so much!! I have been happily "vaping" watching all the videos. I just hope I can get all the stuff I want from myvaporstore soon. Hey, you have been really great to help me out. I just have one last question. What do I do when I go to bed? Just set it down and leave it until morning and start vaping again? Still not quite clear on that part. I promise I won't bug you too much more.LOL

Thanks jamie. I certainly did read all of them, and I am very grateful for the help. It's all so exciting yet overwhelming at the same time. Hope that makes sense. You have been terrific. Thanks again!!:)

I know. I am soo very sorry. I didn't see some of the responses in the thread I posted until after I asked a specific question. I shall go there also. My apologies. I'm a newbie. Does it really show that badly?LOL
