Another excellent supplier is LeCig, E Cigarette, Ecigarettes, Electronic Cigarette, E Cigs They carry parts and cartomizers for both the KR808 D2 which is the same as VaporKing and the D1 which is the same as GreenSmoke. Their batteries are about $16 for either model and their cartomizers are $8.99 and $9.99 with free shipping. The free shipping adds real value. LeCig ships the same day and is absolutely top notch customer service. www.mist-stix.com is also first rate in service and price. I order from all of them, and can say that you cannot go wrong with any of the three.

Well, I got the e-cig I origionally ordered from greensmoke and...what I heard about them tasting bad was absolutely right =/ That's okay, I plan on sending it back for my money back once I get my Vapor King from Vapor4Life. Good thing I only ordered one extra pack of cartomizers for the GS since they won't refund those.

So far, I've only had 4 analogs the past two days using it though (usually smoke 1 1/2 packs), so that's good. Curious, has anyone had an upset stomach their first day using an e-cig? Mine hurt terribly...could had been the chinese I had that night, who knows.

I just got my Vapor King in today and OMGawd its amazing! Its sooOOo much better than the one I prematurely got from GreenSmoke. It tastes great where the greensmoke one had a harsh hospital taste to it. Doesn't produce as much vapor, but I can live with that...its the taste that matters. I'll be sending back my GreenSmoke one tomorrow.

I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it! ~dances around!~

And I got a few extras with my order, though was missing the USB Charger. I send Steve and Mark an email and I'm sure they'll send me one though.

Happy times =^-^=

Well, I just placed my order on Vapor4Life for their Ultimate Ultimatum Automatic kit, one of the new Automatic XL (13 sec cuttoff) batteries, car adapter and quite a few cartomizers. Since I'm a menthol smoker, I'm getting a number of the Menthol Cartomizers as well as the "Cool" flavor, strawberry, mint, and pink lemonade. I'll mostly smoke the menthol, but figured why not add a few different flavors to make it a $200 order so I can use the 20% discount!

I'm so excited...can't wait to get it!!!
The other great part about V4L is the extra goodies Steve is gonna give you. After one month of using it I have 3 batts in rotation throughot the day cause I like flavors (no I am not a child). I usually get about 1 day on regular batts and 2 days on xl by rotating them like I do. I have never had a GS but VKs are awsome the day I got mine was the day I quit. In my opinion the V4L Clove and Watermelon have the best throat hit, flavor, and vapor. I do not like RY4 ( I know I am a freak) but 555 is a nutty delicious flavor. (especially if you add a little vanilla) Also NHaler juices give great vapor especially the HV but little throat hit.

Also the vapor production tends to go up for me after about 10 to 15 drags.

hey everyone!

i also ordered a vapor king yesterday.....i had considered greensmoke as well because they had gotten a lot of good reviews on a lot of different sites, but their prices were quite high and i had also heard their flavors were not that good....good to know i made the right choice! i think id prefer slightly less vapor and more throat hit to the other way around, more like a real cig that way which well help get me off them quicker

i love this forum! so much good info and ive been able to get just about every question i had answered extremely quickly and accurately....thanks to all of you! i cant wait to get my VK and officially join the ranks of vapers everywhere! shouldnt be more than a couple days, i live in chicago, and V4L is based there, so i should get my stuff soon!!!

As far as the cartomizers go, my experience mirrors yours and Magilla's - the odd underflavor of greencig, vapor king and a few others and so far not in the Vapor4life cartos - newport, cuban cigar!!(freebie - thanks Steve/Mark/V4L crew), ry4, cappuccino (although the cappuccino has that 'dekang perfumey' thing going but that isn't an underflavor - that is standard dekang cappuccino.).

However the other thing that you and others mentioned is that the vapor is considerably less with the V4L cartos, and in my experience they don't last as long as the others either - an hour + vs. 2 hours on some from puresmoker, vapor king and greencig. So I, personally, back off saying "OMGawd it's amazing!" :) but that's me who has a good mod with a 510 atty workhorse.

I'll be sticking with the refilling cartridges and keeping the 510 atty going but will have some cartomizers around for special situations. And those cartomizers, for now, will be from Vapor4Life. I'm going back for that cuban cigar flavor.

Well, hubba hubba! I've been eye-balling the Cuban Cigar cartos and wasn't sure. I'm more of a tobacco flavor vaper than sweet stuff. I loved the Cuban Cigar (bottle) that I tried from another vendor but have never ordered in a cartomizer. Now I know Steve weaves his magic with da juice so tell me, Kent! You like??? Tell me more! :D

Can feel another order coming down... 8-o

For the threadstarter I apologize in advance if I hijack this thread, but I also ordered a Green Smoke thinking it was a great product from all the rave reviews I was seeing on it, after ordering it I noticed the link on their site that allows you to become a "Sales Rep" for free which basically pays you too promote their product and pays a dividend for every sale and future sale from the same buyer...I think this equates to so many "Rave Reviews" on Utube and Such....Anyway, I ordered it for my GF for an Xmas present thinking it would be great to not see her have to go outside in the freezing Ohio winter when we were out somewhere, so I wanted one with a lot of Vapor, thinking (Wrongly I now understand) that this would equate to a better and more realistic smoking sensation(throat hit) for her...and I am also hoping that this will also help her finally quit the "analogs" as I did a while back. But it looks as if I might have made a mistake on the brand I bought and I am nervous that if it is a bad experiance for her, that she wont like it or use it....So this thread has created a couple questions for me that I would like to ask here!

1- Someone in this thread said that LeCig has cartomizers that fit the Green Smoke, and I went to there site and they do indeed, but they say that the 808 D2 Cartomizers are the ones that fit the GS (808 D2)Batteries.....So my question is, If I buy the cartomizers from a site like LeCig will they still have the same "Bad Taste" I have heard about mentioned here or is it the same cart manufacturer just a different vendor thus = the same taste? Did that make sense...lol?
and
2- If the GS is considered an 808 D2 does that mean that any 808 D2 accesories will interchange with it, so if I decided to keep the GS (Which I wont if their Batts dont live up to what they advirtise on their site)...Will a diferent vendors 808 D2 Battery be any better?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Magilla,

My friend, who is also going to get an e-cig (we're quitting analogs together), is allergic to alcohol. I know...the poor guy. He can't drink it, use rubbing alcohol or anything.

that is quite sad and send my sympathy.

e liquid doesn't contain alcohol itself. the main ingredient is propylene glycol (or PG), but according to wikipedia at least (i am no expert) pg is a "double alcohol"

Propylene glycol, also called 1,2-propanediol or propane-1,2-diol, is an organic compound (a diol or double alcohol) with formula C3H8O2 or HO-CH2-CHOH-CH3.

so he might want to stick to the liquids using vegetable glycering (or VG) i'm still pretty new to this myself so maybe someone would know if you could cut the thick VG with something besides alcohol?

-AA-

That's pretty much what I meant when I said "I'm going back for that cuban cigar flavor." I also prefer the non-sweet, so I'd recommend it for you. I'm hoping they have it in the nobacco juice too ... and hoping it's the same juice. If anyone knows this, let me know. I've had a few 'cuban cigars' and 'cigar' flavors and while my favorite is still DV's Habana Reserve, this one is special and worth having around, imo. I've liked all the flavors except the capp so far.

Hey guys, just wanted to give you an update. Since recieving my Vapor King a week ago, I've had zero analogs! I love my new Vapor King...sooOOoo much better than that crap from Green Smoke. The taste and feel is very satisfying. I'm on the 18mg and its seems about right, not sure. I puff on them alot so maybe I need a higher dosage, but still...no analogs! I like the menthol best and my friend likes the Nuport and vanilla flavors best. The USB passthrough is my savior as I'm on the computer alot.

I wanted to thank everyone yet again for all the great info they've given me. Oh, and it seems like my friend who ordered with me that's allergic to alcohol isn't having any problems vaping. We both went through the sinus problems and slight sore throat issues that I've heard when people switched to vaping, but its gone down and has almost gone away.

E-cigs and V4L are my hero along with all of you!

-Dusty
