My only atomizer is broken, have to wait up to twenty days for new one. What can I do???

[jmgreetis]

Sorry, please disregard this post.

If you order from any of the US dealers, I sure they could get you one by monday. Also, call some the Quick/gas shops, some of them are carrying kits/e-cigs now.

My problem is that I didn't know the site that I ordered from was in China until after I ordered it and the receipt email stated that it would take 7-20days to ship. I was pretty upset at that point to say the least. Bah, it's only been 3 days!!! I called around before ordering though to try and find a place that would sell just atomizers, but every place I called only sold either really expensive kits or cartridges. Thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated!!

Jim,

look thru some of these threads in the new members forum - I know in one thread someone posted which gas stations/truck stops carry the disposable e-cigs. Not very good but could do in a pinch.

Also, reply to each person's here's post with a Thanks or whatever to up your post count so you can post in the Pay It Forward forum found here

Can any one out in Boise give a guy a hand?

Thanks for the advice on replying to everyone's posts, I will surely do that!!

 

[jmgreetis]

Ouch! I wouldnt recommend dripping ejuice under your tongue.

As has been posted try to get hold of a disposable.

There is a lesson to be learned here for all new vapers. Always order spares..atties,carto's whatever. Nothing worse than being in the position of the op.

Good luck my friend,i hope all ends well

Yeah, I really don't think it would be a good idea either. I am really not that desperate. I do have some analogs left from when I quit a few weeks ago to keep me going, but man do they taste horrible and the smell just makes me disgusted that I could have ever smoked those things for 12 years like that, especially around my wife and kids. Bah so gross!!! And I am definitely going to order a bunch of spare parts, probably in about two weeks when I can afford to do so, since my next payday is basically already spent on bills

Thanks for the suggestions!

I got some extra 901 attys. PM me your address and I will send you a few.............


EDIT: I also have some prefilled cartos which will fit on your 901. I can send you a box of those as well. Do you like RY4?

I think under the circumstances I'd reply to Elendil first.

 

[jmgreetis]

Order a back up from strictlyejuice.com $5 free shipping and get it in 2-3 days.

MAN!!! I really wish I would have know of this site before I ordered my atty from the other side of the planet. I will definitely come to the forum for advice first before making any such emergency purchases in the future. Thanks for the site suggestion man, I will pass that on to some friends who will surely fall into the same problem I am in at the moment.

I am trying to get my rating up first so I can PM him, or do you suggest I place my address on here publicly?

I just thought: Jason did you search the forum and find the atty resurrection thread? Maybe it's not dead, just in a coma?

Errr...well if it wasn't dead before it is now because I tore it apart with curiosity. But I did find that it was covered with this hard black stuff and some softer black soot like stuff, but I really think it was dead for good.

 

[jmgreetis]

it's possible. did it make any type of gurgling sound before this happened? try blowing it out and see if fluid comes out. put the battery end against a paper towel and blow through the end the cart goes on.

i've flooded a lot of attys and have never had one quit. they just gurgle and have poor vapor production until i blow them out. there's a good chance it may be dead.

I have actually had to blow it out a handful of times because it would start making that gurgling noise and wouldn't work very well. I may have flooded it too many times possibly?

 

[jmgreetis]

I'm sorry this happened Jason! I understand your frustrations of living in the middle of nowhere and not being able to get what you need! I'm in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming and it's so hard to get some things. The population of my "city" is under 7k so it's not like there's a wide variety of places that would carry e-cigs or supplies here unless I want to travel for 3 to 5 hours in one direction. I honestly hope you can get the help you need soon! I'd mail you a spare if I had one but I just bought my kit this week and I didn't get any extra atties or batts, so I very well could end up in your situation! Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Please take my situation as a fine example of what not to do when you first start vaping. Be sure to order plenty of extra parts or you'll be up the creek like myself with an analog hanging out of your mouth.

 

[jmgreetis]

I don't understand the 20 days.

After ordering my atty from a seemingly North American website, I received a confirmation/receipt e-mail stating that my order would be here in 7-20 days. Since it's coming from the opposite side of the planet I am going to bet that it takes closer to 20 than it does 7.

 

[jmgreetis]

If you are worried about smoking, how about getting some snus or snuff. It will give you a nic intake, while you wait for your new atty to arrive.

When I ordered my first Joye 510 it came with 2 batteries they both lost their power after only 2 weeks of use. It was close to end of month, so I needed to wait for payday to get a new starter kit. I was not very pleased, mainly because I knew I would be without a nicotine supply.

At the time I didn't think about getting snus or snuff. I just decided to get regular analogs, smoked those for about 4 days, which at first made me want to puke, but after a few days couldn't taste them. Once I got my new starter kit, I didn't have any initial problems switching back to vaping, but I did crave smokes again for a week, very mild cravings, but also easy to give into. I didn't smoke again and still have not. I would say if you've completely cut out smoking, at least try other forms of nic intake, because it is not a cool experience going back to regular analogs after you're a full time vaper.

Another huge lesson I learnt from that experience. Make sure you have enough equipment never to run out of anything. I now have about 6 atties, about 12 cartomizers, tons of juice, 4 batteries, a USB passthrough, so if anything goes wrong I am covered till new equipment arrives.

Good luck and hope you sort things out soon.

Wow, you truly are prepared aren't you. That's impressive. I hope to have a fine stash of all necessary parts built up when I get paid at the end of the month. When I first received my e-cig kit in the mail I started vaping immediately and didn't pick up an analog once, but I did have some cravings to smoke one for about 10 days. I will have to tough it out with the few analogs that I have left until something arrives, due to the fact that I am one broke mutha!!

 

[Xanax]

Honestly I have 22 atomizers and 3 passthroughs, 5 models and probably around 40 different juices and I STILL feel unprepared for a disaster.

 

[extolrox]

for very fast delivery and cheap price with good quality value vapor is where I go for all my atties. I have only had 1 out of 12 ever die on me prematurely. so if you ever need an atty and only want to pay $4.95+ shipping go there great place to stock up for a rainy day.

Please tell me you weren't being snarky because I certainly wasn't.

No, I was serious....

Don't post it here.

I got some extra 901 attys. PM me your address and I will send you a few.............

I could definitely use the help and would very much appreciate it if you would be willing to send me some attys. And yes, I would love to try some of those carts as well. Thank you so much for your kindness and consideration, I won't forget it at all!! I PM'd my address to you earlier today.

Thanks,

Jason

ahh man sorry for your trouble. but u will not make the same mistake again. with all the US vendors out and all the help @ ECF you will vape like a god from now on or as soon as it gets to u from china lol

When I first get the pv, can I start using it immediately? Then later down the sheet it states to charge initially for 8 hours, use 20 minutes, charge again for an hour. Does that have to be done first?

Who is telling you that? If the battery is a li-ion, charge it and use it. When it gets weak, charge it again. Repeat as necessary.....

There is no "break in" for a li-ion battery.
