I started vaping 6 months ago after a vaping Shop opened in my town. It's nice to have a local shop to ask questions as a new user, but they also only sell certain brands, ejuice, items, etc.. so I was looking to make some purchases online now that I have a basic understanding of what I'm doing. I plan to continue to use my Local Shop since they offer all their eJuice to sample and try before buying. It's a great option for most things and I'll continue to get my Swagger and their "In House" Bannana Pudding eJuice there, but need an Online Option also.

I've been happy with all the eJuice of tried from there, for the most part. I love Swagger, but wanted to see if there was an alternative to Swagger that is similar, but costs less. I plan on using Swagger still, but wanted to another flavor into a rotation. Is there anything similar to Pink Spot Swagger that is less costly, that I can add to a rotation?

I also ran into a problem with my batteries and carts. I have 2 V2 Pen Style Manual 140 mm batteries/380 mAh. I also have 3 eGo "style" manual batteries. It didn't come with exact information but looks like the ones I've seen online that are Ego-Pass Through 900 mAh. The problem I've having is the V2 Manual 140 mm batteries won't work with the carts for my Ego battery. Strangely my local shop didn't know this even and told me they would work. I went back and we tested a few things and the manual V2 140 mm batteries do work. I have to go back to the shop and speak with a Manager because the sales clerk wasn't exactly sure how to handle the issue. The manual V2's I have do screw on the eGo Carts, but the connection looks different and they don't work. I'm wondering, if there is an adaptor made that I can get all my batteries compatible with all my Carts. I'm also wondering a good dual ohm cart that may be more cost effective then what I'm paying now for Dual Coil 1.5-2Ohm carts (Believe they are 3 ml).

I believe the V2 is a KR808D-1's- an 808 connection and you'll need an adapter. Also for your Ego PT you should be using LR single coil cartos. I would kinda wonder about this vendor.

I went the DIY route for ejuice (not sure if you would be interested). Very easy to do and much much cheaper.

To be honest, I've just about decided there's nothing out there like Swagger.

I must have given you the wrong type, because it was a package set that was made for each other. The one I posted was one I found online that I thought was the same, sorry. I actually, just got the V2's to work after adjusting the "fitting".

The vendor is actually great, in my experience. They own multiple brick and mortar shops in my area. One of my eGo batteries broke and he replaced it. I burnt up my first cart by not putting enough Juice in it and he gave me 2 free ones.

My local shop has a lot of flavors of Pink Spot to try, and they all seem good but nothing has came close to my liking of Swagger. That said, I'm looking to add another flavor to my rotation. I currently use Swagger as my main, with an "In House" Banana Pudding they make. Do you have any recommendations that someone who really likes Swagger may enjoy, alongside Swagger ?

It's actually something I may be interested in, but don't even know where to start. I'm honestly just now getting comfortable with all the stuff I have It's probably something I'll end up trying out eventually. Right now using Swagger, and buying accessories, I'm not saving as much as I had hoped. That said, it's obviously got other benefits and cost wasn't my main driving force. If you can save a buck along the way though...

His reviews of the juices I've tried are spot on.

Ok, sounds good. I did see that, but read a lot on here how everyone's tastes are different. I saw how he loved Swagger though and thought he would be good as a guide, at least. I was considering trying the iVape Sweet Carolina. Anyone besides this reviewer tried it? Anyone have a different opinion of it?

Also, the V2 batteries with the eGo Dual Coil Carts are not exactly "right". One battery is working after playing with the connection top. The other one still isn't. As I previously stated, the V2 battery top fitting/connection (whatever the official term is) is different between the manual and automatic models. The automatic models work everytime I tested it at the Local Shop (we also tested multiple sizes, models, etc.) but the manual never did.

Is this a "known" issue around those who are in the know? Why does the manual V2 battery connections look different then the automatic (I'm sure this is the key to the entire issue).

Edit: I previously found the thread below here, but the link's in the post are broke. Is that what I would need?

Also, is the V2 batteries considered bad? Mine have a Lifetime warranty and last longer then my eGo. I've also had 2 of my eGo's break already, and zero issues out of my V2. That said, I believe (not sure???) there are many types of eGo brands, is that right? If so, I believe the particular brand of mine is cheaper then most. I actually like my eGo better, for some reason that I can't really identify.
