Hi Bill! Welcome to ECF! I am not familiar with the e-cig you're using, but wanted to wish you the best in your efforts to quit smoking. I've been vaping & smoke-free for 2 months now and have learned so much just by reading this forum. If you go to youtube and search for vapor you'll find tons of "how-to" videos that are helpful and entertaining.
If you're a little OCD like me (and apparently, many others here at ECF...) you'll be buying more flavors, cartomizers & bigger batteries in no time at all. Enjoy the journey!

Welcome Bill. I wasn't able to give up cigs until I went from 18mg to 24mg juice. For you, it might be hardware. It takes some trial and error to find your sweet spot. Anything in particular that is not doing it for you? What I mean is, do you get enough throat hit, are your nicotine cravings satisfied, can you blow smoke rings, is the equipment inconvenient, is the battery life sufficient? Ideally, what you want is something that is as easy and satisfying as a cigarette.

Greetings Bill,
Glad you are so well. After 40 years, I haven't had 1 in 7 days and wow, do I feel better - already. It's just amazing how much different I feel - and smell! I use 36mg menthol and hope to slowly kick the nicotine level down.
Best of luck and once you are done with cigs completely, your body will thank you. Hang in and keep vaping.

Correct me if I'm wrong but - Vapor King from Vapor4Life? That's a KR808D-1 model. Good choice. I have one though it's not my everyday PV. Their WOW 555 in a Coolcart is nice. I like their Coolcarts, not a big fan of the lip heat of their Premium carts.

Some things that help keep me off cigarettes...
1. Plenty of batteries (at least 3) with charging setups at home and at work

2. With plenty of batteries, I can leave the PV set up overnight while I charge my other batteries, so no assembly needed whenever I wake up - it will be right there to vape. I actually found it stressful to disassemble it before bedtime (like what if I want more before I go to bed)

3. The cigarettes I have around in case of equipment failure are not cigarettes I like. They are ones I thought were sort of harsh and nasty even when I was smoking them because they were cheap. They are not my beloved favorite ever analogs.

4. A PCC for when I am neither at work or home, so I can charge a battery in my pocket.

And obviously plenty of juice. I found fruity low TH juices are a problem for me because a. I never feel satisfied and done and b. some leave me feeling like I ate and wanting a smoke. So I use those sparingly or mix a bit with a tobacco juice with good TH.

Something else fun you can do with KR808D-1 manual batteries is attach a DSE901 atty and drip tip to it (no adapter needed - DSE901 atty screws right on). You could do it with an auto battery but you would run the risk of getting juice in the hole at the threaded end of the battery. I drip like that to test juice samples and sometimes I just set it up that way as a second PV so if I'm vaping some tobacco juice in my normal PV I can occasionally take a few drags of any weird fruity desserty juice I have in bottles.
