Okay guys im new to this and recently purchased an njoy ecig, My issues is i want to "vape" different flavors but i dont want the nicotine in it. My main questions is what is the best E-cig with refillable carts, and where do i get the ejuice and whats the best type? Iv read that you can make your own with glycerin and i tried that but i cant seem to get the flavoring part down and idk if its safe or not? i read the manufactured cartomizers use the same thing? Any help or links would be appreciated, i just want the best e-cig i can get for my money and that is easy to use, easy to refill, and will last me a long time!!

Nothing lasts a long time. And the glycerin you can buy in Walmart (vegetable glycerin) is thick alone and does not work well in cartomizers.

Do you have credit cards? Can you buy online?

A mixture of PG and VG works well in cartomizers. OneStopDIYShop sells both and sells flavoring and bottles.

Automatic batteries or any battery with an open hole in the end can be damaged or killed with juice leaks. Manual sealed batteries are harder to damage. But all batteries only last about 150-200 charges.

Three ways to vape -
atomizer + cartridge (atomizers can degrade, die)
tank atomizer tanks (for 510 models only, atomizers are more expensive and can degrade, die)
cartomizers - (most popular) last 4-10 days each depending on the juice and your skill at using them

Are you looking for a slim ecig or a bigger long-charge model?

Thanks for the info im checking the sites as we speak! Is the eGo-T easy to refill the carts? thats my biggest worry is i dont want to keep having to buy cartomizers, when i can just refill with my own e juice!!
The eGo-T is a tank system. Some fill them directly from the dripper on the bottle or you can pop the cap off the tank and drip into it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEWeeFB9Zdw
I almost forgot. GV has a sale going on Now through October 14th, all merchandise at Gourmet Vapor is 50% off. The discount code is vapetv

I do have credit cards so online ordering is not an issue! as far as an ecig choice i dont mind, just whatever will work well seeing ill only be using it a few times a day, i guess one with a manual switch is the best route! Also one that will get me alot of vapor!

Thanks!

byggd- Im omw home now but im going to check that video out as soon as im there and the 50% off sounds nice to me :) ill be doing some more research and possibly ordering tonight! Keep the info coming!

The video gives a good demo of the eGo but look around and you might find one cheaper. If you want a unit that is skinny like a cig you can get a 510 with a tank system. Both are made by Joye and tons of places sell and support them. As dormouse says the cartomizers are another good choice. I like the LR (low resistence) Boge units. Good luck!

Where did you buy your ego at? the tank one? or what are some reliable places that sell them?

I ordered the ego-t type B with 900 mAh battery through Liberty-Flights. Starter kit came in the mail about 4-5 days after order (I ordered late Sunday night, arrived in Mail on Friday). I was also looking at Cignot.com. The selling point for me to Liberty was the 900 battery vs the 650 (although for an additional $8 I could have gone with the 1000), and on Liberty, if you go to the home page look on the upper left side and click the 20% off icon before doing anything else. If you go ego, DO NOT FORGET TO ORDER JUICE!!!. I (along with the kit) ordered the following with the kit from Liberty. 5ml each of Coffee, Turk-USA Tobacco, and Mango and 10ml of Key Lime. I wish I would have ordered a little more as I have had to buy from a local distributer and DO NOT like his juice, but needed something to get me though until my next order comes in (hopefully tomorrow).

My breakdown of the juice I got is as follows (each person differs though):
1. Mango: Did not like it. Very subtle flavor (I actually used a little mixed with the tobacco I had to buy locally and it helped a little)
2. Coffee: Liked it. I read alot of bad reviews of coffee flavour tasting burnt. Since I like my coffee black, and strong sitting in the pot for a good while I thought it was alright
3. Key Lime: Subtle, but not bad
4. Turk-Usa Tobacco: Loved it and will be ordering more down the road

Glad to help (it is the same assistance I was given a week ago, so I figured I needed to pass the favor). Cant itterate enough, make sure you order enough juice so not to run out. I was just trying some smaller samples until I find what I like....which is a good idea, but I did not get enough. Plenty on the way though

i was going to order last night but im hearing that the EGO-t with the 5 click system is not good? from a few videos on youtube i watched they say it has alot of issues and to stick with the manual EGO-T, seems like the ones on liberty-flights are all 5 click shut off? Are your egos the same? What exact model did you order? :) hope to hear back soon i definatly want to order this today! Anyone who has imput your help is appreciated!

Also are their flavors non nicotine? i cant seem to find anywhere on there site if they are or arnt? Whats the difference between DV, PG, VG? whats the best, sorry for all the questions just new to this!

well, I can't say anything about the ego tanks.. may try them later. But I love the 510 carts, which will work on the ego. Check out my post today on a new thing I found to refill my carts. Without something like my fine tip or a syringe, they don't fill too easily. ALSO, I would have a blunt time syringe handy, it can empty a cart if you don't like what you put in it.

...dunno for sure BUT, I think the problems, you saw referred to, were not about the 5click switch, but rather, with the tank systems...while some love them to death, they can be a bit fiddly to get operating right, often needing tweaking of the atty/drip plate...the tanks also have known leaking issues...all can be overcome BUT, they are a bit more fiddly that a straight up cartomizer system..........

At the time Smart Vapes had a sale going so I bought from them. Looks like a couple of others have sent you in the right direction and CIGNOT sells the silicone caps that fix the leaking issue some have had.
