New and confused

[djbeckett]

My doctor recommended the Elusion e-cig. Now that I need replacement cartridges, I don't know what to buy. I think I have a 510 battery and need cartomizers (filled). I see a million websites selling e-cigs, but not certain that what I see will work. I would love to try some flavored filled cartridges.

I think the elusion cartridge is pricey (2.75/cartridge), hoping to find lower prices with faster delivery.

I'm just not positive what I have and what I need. Is there help for a newbie like me?

 

[trouble2k]

I don't honestly know if it's a 510 fitting on there, but it looks a lot like one. Hopefully someone else will know. In the meantime, have you considered buying some juice and refilling your cartos? Just buying the prefilled can get pricey with any brand you are using. Or, are you wanting to replace the cartomizers with cartridges/attys?

According to this thread it's a RN4081 model. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/103597-elusion-2.html

You can also get some good info and ask questions in the sub-forum here RN 4081 *Super Mini*

I would also recommend what trouble2k suggested and buy some juice and refill the carts yourself.

Sorry I can't help you out more.

I hope to buy filled carts. until I learn more about the e-cig world. I then could buy the "juice" and do my own (considerable savings???).
I see male and female threads, buzz words like JOYA, TITAN, MEGA, MANUAL, AUTOMATIC. I've only recently discovered this e-cig culture.

thanks for your replies. This is the first real information I have found!!!!

 

[pearlheartgtr]

The Elusion is an RN4081 e-cig, same as the NJOY.

A snip from a forum thread:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/103597-elusion-2.html

You can buy 510 cartomizers/atomizers/cartridges for it if you get an adapter for the RN4081 battery. AZsmokefree has them: RN4081/510 Adapter

eSmokeclub has prefilled RN4081 cartomizers and other accsessories: eSmokeclub

YA'ALL ARE GREAT! I've emailed and searched all weekend!! GO RANGERS........

 

[djbeckett]

NO KIDDING??? There are even right and left hand threads? RN 4081 Atomizer at Electronic Cigarette - Atomizers & Cones - RN4081 shows a lefthand thread!!!!

 

[trouble2k]

When you do reorder, just remember that cartomizers are a one piece unit (filler/atomizer are together). The two-piece is where the atomizer and cartridge/filler are separate. You wouldn't get very far if you had a cartridge with no atty. It sounds like you want cartomizers in your OP.

Think about throwing in some juice so you can try refilling when you are ready. Or, just in case you run dry before your next order comes in

 

[Motorpsychle]

Hope some of the links help to answer your questions. This is the best e-cig forum out there (IMO). Tons of great info and a lot of good folks here as well. Your lucky to have a doctor that recommended you try e-cigs. Not many do, so don't forget to thank him/her.


P.S - Welcome to ECF

Oh yes, only looking for the cartomizers. i'm so impulsive. I just bought http://azsmokefree.com/inc/sdetail/4354 along with the adapter.

The description say "tobacco flavor", does that mean they are loaded?

Oh yes, only looking for the cartomizers. i'm so impulsive. I just bought The Better Way To Smoke - Cartomizer for RN4081 and DSE103, Tobacco, 18mg along with the adapter.

The description say "tobacco flavor", does that mean they are loaded?

Yes that would mean they are prefilled. Normally if they were empty the description would be "blank" or "empty" cartomizers. The 18mg is the strength of the nicotine.

Welcome to ECF and good luck with the vaping.

What is this "analog" stuff?

 

[AttyPops]

What is this "analog" stuff?

LOL. It's kind of a play on words.... Since e-cigs are "digital" (actually electronic), regular tobacco cigarettes are called "analogs" , aka non-digital. Really poor terminology all the way around. I prefer PV - Personal Vaporizer for e-cigs, and cig or cigarette for tobacco stuff.

 

[trouble2k]

Analog is another term for traditional cigarettes. PV is for the e-cig. It's kind of like going from analog to digital services Digital is always WAY better.

+1 for all of the tips everyone has given! I can't add anything other than WELCOME 2 ECF! Have fun getting lost in reading tons and tons of threads

When ya'all are through w/ me I'm gonna be the Dallas e-cig "fountain of knowledge".

I have now read that these prefilled cartomizers can be refilled. Either drip into the tiny hole at the threaded end or take a tool, such as a paperclip with a "hooked" end to pull the round plastic insert out of the unit. I did a dry run on a spent cartomizer and found I can easily remove the circular piece. I was able to push the plastic circle back in. I ordered the liquid yesterday, I am on my way. What's the difference between PGE and VGE liquid??????

GRIPE: The only e-cig retailer in Dallas Tx. had one bat., one cart. pack and was setup in an indoor Mexican flea market. You cannot speak for Dallas, but where are the e-cig retailers found in your towns???????

 

[trouble2k]

Glad to hear you decided to get some juices. You'll save alot of $$ in the long run. Also, remember that cartomizers were made to be disposable--they can be refilled several times, but some only last a couple of refills. I just recently switched back to using cartomizers because they are so much easier than dripping or topping off all of the time.

PG is propolene(sp??) glycol and VG is vegetable glycerin. PG usually gives a better throat hit with less vapor and VG is a smoother hit with more vapor. A lot of people like a mixture (50/50, 80/20, etc...) of each. It's all personal preference. If you find that your hit is way too harsh, you may want to try a little VG.

We have a couple of cigarette stores here that sell the Njoy brand and one generic version. That's it. At least they are reputable businesses.

I bought some juice (only says HIGH on the bottle, not even a manufacturer or address where I could find out more about this juice), carts and a atomizer. The store clerk strongly said "2-4 drops max". The carts have what looks like gelatin at the mouthpiece end, 3/8" deep I'm guessing. I think he said they were filled (again, he didn't know too much). These carts. have what I think is a stopper (remove it and throw away?). I may have to go back to ask these question, but does this sound like they are prefilled? Why only 2-4 drops?

i hope they are!

Are we to assume that you bought these from the flea market? I'm not too sure what you are describing, but it sounds like the stopper may be the end cap that you would want to keep for easy traveling w/out leaking. Gelatin?? Not sure. Unless it is actually the filler that is soaked w/ liquid.

ECF has a wonderful selection of Forum Suppliers. I hope you will check some of these out. Buying juice from someone who can't even tell you about their product can be dangerous for you. HIGH nicotine content for some manufacturers is 16 mg. Others could be as high as 24 or 36. If you don't know--don't use it. Would you buy some homemade soup from a street vendor who couldn't/wouldn't tell you what the ingredients are? If you end up having an allergic reaction to something, what would you tell the doctor? Be careful please.

Most of us are impulse buyers and want our product RIGHT NOW. But, we've also learned that waiting a couple of days for the mail to come can save us a lot of headache in the long run. That's just my 2 cents.
