I just found this forum tonight. From what I've seen, this way is better for quiting than patches and gum and everything else. I think I've decided on V4L ULTIMATE MANUAL KIT. I was going to get the XL, but it didn't come with a case and they don't offer cases for them either. I'm a 28 yr old single mom and full time college student (at a non-smoking campus!), so portability is a must. I've searched all over and the only promo codes I can find are the smilin for 10% off and the spring ones, but those ended on 3/1. Am I making the right choice in product for my end result to be completely off cigs? Is there a better brand that I should go for?
Thanks !!

V4L's last sale was Fed 27-28

Sign up on their site and you should get email when they have a sale. And occasionally they might offer a short sale just in their ECF forum - not sure
Vapor4Life

Go with the manual standards though you could get a spare xl for at home. The xl's do not fit in the PCC charging case. I also have a charging cable at work so I can use that to charge and just use the PCC if I go out or when visiting the inlaws on the weekend.

You need juice too. A cartomizer does not last as long as a pack of cigs - web sites that say that lie. And pick up one of their drip tips (or cheaper get a KR808D-1 one at LiteCigUSA.net - get plastic or delrin). You can't drip into it but it will keep your lips cool if you get a hot carto and it's easy to take it off and add a bit of juice. Note - I have only bought one battle of WOW juice from them but the bottle drips fast so watch out for that. So far I like their WOW juices best. The WOW tobacco sampler is good. I decided to buy WOWbacco juice after that (it is a heavily cocoa tobacco, and WOWboy is the same but with a bit of mint added - both are nice). I also like their WOW Vanilla (a sweet vanilla). And I refill their cartos with juices I get elsewhere.

Keep your cartos damp. If you run a carto dry you can singe the stuffing and ruin it. If you keep it damp, you can get days out of one. Whenever the vapor gets a bit dry or a bit light, I first try tilting the ecig carto down for 5 seconds to distribute the juice. if that doesn't help, then I add more juice. remove the carto from the battery when adding juice and I usually hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end. When done, i check for and clean up any leaks. Then I puff into the threaded end to try to make sure the air channel is clear. if any juice didn't soak in and is pooled above the stuffing I may clean that up with a folded bit of tissue.

This is a great video - shows how one guy fills a blank one and also how to straighten the air channel. If the air channel gets crooked so you can't see light through the carto, the drag can get real tight. I can sometimes get an extra day or two out of a carto by straightening a crooked air channel

Re the above video - I usually do rotate the carto when I add juice - the stuffing seems a bit tighter than it used to be. And the current soft-caps are easy to get off with an unbent end of a small paperclip - stick it in the mouth hole just far enough to pop off the soft cap (so you don't catch stuffing too). And I started using a plastic drip tip on the end and that you can pull off with your fingers.

And here is a nice guide

You may want to try an eGo which seems to be a great first choice for many first time ecig users myself included.
The eGo has a bigger battery I believe at 650mah and I'm not sure but those look like the typical 180mah batteries for the slim cigarette type ecig. You might like the manual battery better, my understanding is that the automatics can sometimes go off from any air blowing through the carto/atty or mouthpiece.
I'm not saying they are a bad product by any means just a small battery and battery life. :blush:
Perhaps Rosa knows more about the battery strenth?
I like the looks of them V4L but for me the battery is small, that usually means it won't last as long.
Here is a link for cignot which has super fast shipping as well!
The eGo kit is very reasonably priced at $59.
Good luck with vaping and school! :)

vapor4Life has sales often. Sign up. They have some items on sale now with Surprise35 and $50 purchase. It's batteries, passthrus, and car adapter.

KR808 attract less attention and look more like what people are used to seeing in cigarettes. Egos are cigar size and make people do double takes that you are smoking something else. Either are a great way to cut back/get off smoking.

Those cases aren't anything special. Any eyeglass case is better and holds XL batteries. XLs are worth it on the go because they last 3-4 hours with medium heavy vaping, the standards are more like 2 hours. XLs are slightly higher voltage too, so they vape better. You don't want to do the battery shuffle if you are a busy person. 2 XLs and a passthru for your car get you through a very long day, no need to carry chargers.

whats the difference between drip-tips and juicing the carto's ?


Drip tips are used with plain atomizers, you drip a few drops in and get 4-6 drags before you drip again. No stuffing but not practical for school.

Juicing the carto is just adding more juice to the cartomizer (all in one cart and atomizer). KR808 cartomizers hold about 20-30 drops of juice and are good for 200-300 drags, as they empty you can fill them up again by popping off the cap and adding more juice. This saves money and gives you better variety in ejuice. For school you'd probably take mulitple cartomizers with you and refill them when you get home.

V4L is a great choice for a busy mom.Its easy to use and they have a huge flavor selection.Try a few sampler packs,that way you get to try alot of flavors to find the ones you like.I love the cases and the charging case will be great for running around and going to classes.Get manuals because eventually you will want to refill.Good luck!You made a great choice.
