Hello Everyone!,
I really enjoy this product and haven't had a cigarette since I charged this device! (over 24 hours)

Currently have a dilemma: I'm at work and didn't bring any extra cartridges with me. I've gone through 2 cartridges so far, and have only used the NPRO for roughly 30 minutes! I am not getting ANY vapor and I thought these were supposed to last up to 2 packs!?

What do I need to do to make these cartridges last longer, please? I'm trying not to light up a cigarette, but my NPRO's not working!!! Thanks in advance!

You're not. Most retailers lie about this.

So am I to assume that I will need to change a cartridge every few uses? Is there any way to extend the use of these cartridges?

 

[Bertrand]

You can add e-liquid to the cartridge to eke them out. You won't get more than 50% of the liquid out of the cartridge, so this works out cheaper. And you don't need to carry around a bag of cartridges with you.

Thanks Bertrand, for the answering of my question. Looks like I'll need to be buying me some 'o that E-Liquid! Any more tips you all would be willing to share? I'm all for as much information as possible.

Buy ejuices to put liquid nicotine back into the cartridge. They make the same flavors as the cartridges but in liquid form that you can drip or fill your cartridge back up.

You can find most sites sell the carts for like 5.00 a pck but each cart should only last you 7-10 cigs. not 2 packs.
Check Steve at PureSmoker.com - Your #1 Source For ECigs, Parts, & Accessories! for his ejuices good flavors and cheaper than carts.
A 10ml bottle should last you a week to 2 weeks depending on how much you vape it.
The best buy I think is the 30ml bottle should last you at least 3 weeks to a month.

My NPRO carts have been inconsistent. Most seem to last 2-4 cigs but some feel like 8. I use my NPRO with a new cart in the car and the 901 with juice at home.

Nice Duke! That helps out a lot. I'll definitely check that site out and do some more research. I seriously didn't even know about the E-Liquid.. Thanks again!!

You will need ejuice....to add to the carts when they get dry. You can also buy empty carts (carts with no juice already in them) and fill them with your own juice. You can also take out the filler stuff, rinse them with water, squeeze 'em and put 'em out to dry...then fill them again (using tweezers helps). They will eventually wear out but it will save buying cartridges for a bit.

But you'll need juice to do this. I always recommend www.puresmoker.com because I like them....but there are others around too.

Good luck at work!

Edited to add: Guess I was too slow...lol

This has worked well for me using the 901 cartridge. The pen-style cartridge doesn't seem to work as well. YMMV : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...eel-mesh-cartridge-medium.html?highlight=mesh

And if the e-cig agrees with you, consider getting a screwdriver: - The ScrewDriver - An electronic cigarette that simply works

The screwdriver's batteries last much longer both in terms of charge and useable lifetime. It works out cheaper after a few months or so. But try the e-cig you have for a while. They do require more fussing than regular cigarettes, and you might find it's not for you.

No worries.. just ask if you don't know.. someone will be here fast to answer.

Oh...and if you are interested....puresmoker also sells a usb ecig that connects right to your computer and you smoke it (NOT the usb charger...different animal). It's $20. Saves the hassle of batteries at work (or wherever).

Sweet, thanks, SambucaLu!!

I did have another question:

Are the Smoke51 cartridges able to be used in the NPRO? My roommate has the Smoke51 device and he buys his cartridges from a nearby shop. It would make things easier for me, and I wouldn't have to wait for the mail delivery

 

[judasburrito]

I've been wondering that myself. Do they fit?

Easy way to find out - borrow one of your roomates cartridges

IIRC the NPRO is the same as a RN4081 super mini, which many suppliers sell. That means you can use the cartridges from here for example. Really would recommend using liquid though just to mirror others comments.

And while you're waiting on your liquid to come in, get yourself a paper clip.
Straighten one end and use it to push your cotton down till you see a nice shiny liquid surface. Then use the paper clip to pull the cotton back up to the level it was at. Not the most convenient thing to do but when you're waiting on the liquid and don't want to smoke analogues, it'll last you a bit longer

I have the npro also. Iv been using it with johnson creek smoke juice for a few weeks now, works nice, but one battery they sent with it was acting up. But the vapor is nice.
