Not open for further replies.
I just bought a Cig2o starter kit while visiting family in the US but have returned to my home in hong Kong, where vaping is illegal. I would love advice on the following: 1. Does anyone know of retail outlets/stores where I can walk in and buy supplies in Hong Kong, Lo Wu (Shenzhen), or Shanghai? 2. if I can't find a retail shop, are there any online suppliers who can ship to Hong kong or would it be better to have my order sent to my husband's office in Shanghai? 3. Can the Cig2o cartridges be refilled with e juice and if so, whats the best menthol juice to use? I'm so new to this and feel very lost and overwhelmed by all the terminology...Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi LM and WELCOME TO THE ECF!

You've come to the right place and yeah, I've been overwhelmed with the terminology and information on this forum when I first started too. I know of some websites that you can check out. They are located in China and so, you won't have a problem with them shipping to your husband or maybe you (since it's illegal there, don't know if the items might have issues when it gets to Hong Kong):

I think Cig2O and Cig2Go are KR808D-1 (Kanger and Boge and others make KR808D-1 blank cartos)

You probably have auto batteries - they can be damaged or killed by juice leaks much more easily than manuals. So if you keep cartos damp you have to be extremely careful that the carto won't leak onto the end of your battery. I only use manual KR808D-1.

This is how I fill good KR808D-1 cartomizers and Joye 510 cartomizers (another model ecig) that have a soft cap that is removable for adding juice

How I fill a cartomizer (Vapor4Life for KR8 or Boge 510 for 510 which are all soft-cap w/ no inner seals and defined central air channel)

I use thin (20% or less VG) liquid or Vapor4Life WOW liquids, preferably clear liquids w/ no sediment

Filling a blank carto - I pop off the soft cap (unbent paperclip carefully in the mouth hole, not catching any wires or stuffing!). I hold some tissue against the threaded end hole. I tilt the carto and slowly drip 18 drops onto the inner wall of the carto so it slides down into the stuffing while I rotate the carto. Then I wait 15 seconds or so then I drip however many more drops the stuffing wants to soak up. Then I do clean-up. If it is leaking, I clean that up. Then I tilt the open end down into the tissue and puff hard a few times into the threaded end to clear any juice out of the central air channel (I want to see light through there). If it looks too wet above the stuffing, I gently touch a bit of tissue to the stuffing (otherwise that liquid will be gurgling or spitting in my mouth). Then since this was a fresh fill of a blank, I now let it settle. I lay the carto on different sides for 15-20 minutes. Then it should be ready to vape. If you use thicker juices than me, then you may need to let it settle longer.

As I am vaping - if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or tastes bit off or the carto is getting unusually warm, I will take the carto off the battery, open it, add 6-8 drops or whatever it seems to want (I will either hold a bit of tissue against the threaded end hole just in case, or skimp on how many drops I add to make sure I avoid drips if I have no tissue). I check to make sure the threaded end is dry, give it a couple of puffs into the threaded end to make sure the air channel is clear, and continue to vape.

Note - it is easy for me to "open" my main cartos for adding juice because I replace the white end cap with a plastic or delrin drip tip (I get them at LiteCigUSA.net). So I can easily pull that out with my fingers when I add juice and it keeps my lips cool if the carto is hot.

Welcome LM! It's too bad HK bans e-cigs. Dekang has an office in Shenzen (info below). Their minimal order quantity is pretty large, but maybe you can get more some info and samples from them. Shipping your orders to your husband is also a great idea! :)
