New and confused

[djbeckett]

I bought the adaptor: the RN 4081, male thread=.307" major Ø. The Elusion Ø=.287". The thread count appears to match. AZSMOKEFREE.COM has become my supplier. I've bought the RN4081 starter kit, along with a variety of juices, two adaptors (first purchase after the Elusions, I didn't know).

The wife is hooked on the $2.75/ea. Elusion cartromizers. She doesn't like my Elusion Cart. refills and can't seem to get a big hit from them. I've bought other cartomizers, same results. I think they're great, thanks to all for the e-juice tips.

I can now go to a 510 cartridge, are those better than the 4081?

im just curious, what of the juices they offer have you tried? im new to all of this too and lookin for ideas from other people just starting out on juice

I recommend buying Ego

Strawberry, menthol, Cuban julietta, burly tobacco, flue-cured tobacco. I like anything tobacco, although the strawberry is a nice switch throughout the day. The flur-cured is a bit gamey, but I got use to it. I started with the 10ml. bottles but quickly moved to 30 ml. bottles. What's fun is buying something that sounds good and having different flavors ready to go...

After filling I even re-cap and mark each filled cart. (F=FLUE-CURED, C=CUBAN). I use an ink pen and write on the plastic condom.....

I found a battery that took an Elusion cartomizer. Made by no. 7, the Elusion cart. threaded in perfectly. Their starter kit resembles the Elusion kit. No luck with an adaptor, I'm on the case.

These Elusions are great............

I've learned alot since these posts!!!!!!! What I didn't mention in the FLAVOR CALLOUT is PG OR VG. All previously mentioned were PG. I have switched exclusively to VG (smoother than PG , big vapor hit). My wife had reaction to the PG; my throat became alittle sore. During one recent refill session, I mixed my PG and VG per previous suggestions (60% pg-40%vg and 80p-20v). Great hits, less harsh.

I've bought some flavors I didn't care for: RY4, cuban julieta, 555, RED BULL (BLAH!!!) and CAML (I thought CAMEL, it tasted like CARAMEL). I actually mixed equal amounts of ry4, caml and red bull: it became bearable.

We both love the classic Virginia VG. I like Burly tobacco vg, usa mix tobacco vg. There's definately a trend: TOBACCO!!

I also learned that vendors are not supposed to say MARLBORO, NEWPORT, CAMEL, etc. Legalities involved, that's why azsmokeefree.com says "USA MIX". He means Marlboro. That's what he told me.

I have "splintered" off from AZSMOKEEFREE.COM to americaneliquidstore.com, they say theirs is U.S.A. made juice. $1-$2 /10ml. bottle higher than AZ smoke free. I bought their 5 piece sample kit, mostly tobacco with one clove, all VG. Good buying experience for me: you select flavors, base material, nic. level and quantity with nice drop-down menus. I'll add americaneliquidstore.com comments when I try 'em.........

I see there was a gap between posts in this thread. It means you are still just as enthusiastic about it today as you were about a month ago!

Happy New Year!

Yep, they has flavr!

Once you get flustered with the batteries dying all the time, the next buzzwords to learn are 510 and kr808. Those are the two most used e-cigs with longer life than what you have now. the 510 is the three piece with battery, cartridge and atomizer, and the 808 is two pieces, battery and cartomizer. Manual and automatic are the battery types. Do you want to push a button to ignite your vape then inhale, or, you want the inhalation itself to automatically ignite the vape? Personally, I like the manual (total control nut, that's me!)

Oh yes, only looking for the cartomizers. i'm so impulsive. I just bought The Better Way To Smoke - along with the adapter.

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

Eight weeks, no analogs, 2X. I love the digitals, no plans to stop. I have quite an array of e-cig stuff, not much money invested. I went with the RN4081. 5 working batteries, e-juice in the refrigerator and more on the way.

I've tried two refill methods: pulling the cartomizer cap and dripping directly on the wadding and using the cart. caps (condoms). The condom refill is the best, my opinion. There's a vacuum created when you push the cartomizer into the juice- filled cap, the juice spreads well.

I have ruined a couple of automatic batteries (excess liquid got on the switch, I believe). I still shake 'em if they don't seem to "light"

I post to tell people my experiences w/e-cigs so they don't make the same mistakes. I've learned alot at e-cigarette-forum.com

Congrats on being off analogs! Happy New Year!
