new person, needs some help

[strongheart]

Hello, would really appreciate some help.
I did my research, and decided to get a g300 greenworld e cig from nhaler.com

meanwhile, waiting for it to arrive, i found a no name (can't find one anyway) 510 i think, at a local store to hold me over.

here are my questions:
got the g300: i have to drag so hard, to get any vapor. it literally hurts. and i got some other cartomizers and they are about the same. i dont' understand because all the reviews say it is one of the best ones out there. does anyone know what i can do to make it drag more like an analog cigarette? and get more vapor etc.

and then the 510, i really like it a lot. so i am going to find some replacement cartridges for it. but it looks like the battery is already kicking the bucket with irregular on off, and locking on (it is a manual button one). so would love some advise on how to, and which 510 type is good to replace it with.

thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction. just trying to stay off the "analog" cigarettes. am on week 2, and don't want to screw up, and i think finding a good fit with an e cig is crucial to making it.

thanks-melisa

Sorry I don't know much on the products you have purchased..... If you are looking for a 510 replacement, I would recommend the eGo... Great battery life also... This was my first PV and after 3 months It is still going strong and very happy with it. Keep the faith and stay away form the analogs.... Many of the vendors here carry them... Well worth the 50.00 or so.... You will get two batteries, 2 attys, chargers and 5 carts typically. I picked mine up from myfreedomsmokes

I also recommend the eGo...or the Riva which is an eGo clone but just as good if not better (they look alike.) E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings has the Joye eGo kit for $39.99 and the Riva for $29.99 right now. Those are insanely low prices for quality kits that include two batteries, two atomizers, a charger, some carts...everything you need. If you go there, be sure to click on the 20% off button on the top left corner of the home page. It's what I use and have been using for 6 months now. I highly recommend the Riva. Don't forget to load up on juice. Also, they're both 510s so the parts are interchangeable with all 510s.

I like the 510 and the eGo both.. I started with the 510 and really loved it, but you have to make sure those batteries are charged. I kept 3 in rotation and had a PCC charged with me when I was out. I really like the size of it (especially in public) because it's not as large as other PV's.
The battery life on the eGo is far far better though. It's nice not to not constantly charge batteries. It's just a little larger.

The link that JCnewbie posted is where I purchased mine and is definitely a good price for a starter kit. I searched around a lot for prices and that has the be one of the best with that 20% off.

A lot of "name" ecigs on the web are crap. Some rebranders use really weak models they can get cheap from China. All-cigarette shape ecigs are made in China and there are good models and bad ones. No idea what Greenworld is. if it's a 3-piece then it's most likely a Luci, Gamucci, Smoke 51 trio, etc etc which are all weak.

If the 510 you got was really inexpensive then it may be the disposable version. If so, they use parts that aren't meant to last and are not electrically compatible with real 510 parts (weaker voltage or something in the disposable).

510's a good starter unit except for the short battery life. There are xl batteries for it that last 1.5x as long. And the fat battery version Ego or Riva 510 which adds much longer battery life and the ability to use stronger LR (low resistance) atomizers or cartomizers. 510 in its various forms is probably the most popular starter unit here. I recommend you buy a real Joye 510 (or Ego) because there are some substandard clones around. There are plenty of adapters around for 510 so you can even use it with atomizers and cartomizers of other popular models if you want.

Hi Melisa. Welcome to the ECF! I agree with the other posters. I really liked the eGo type battery. I stopped using cartridges, wouldn't have anything to do with dripping, so I ended up moving on to cartomizers. If you're getting a stiff draw, the first thing I would suggest is get a drip tip and take out the little rubber stopper with the tiny whole in it. The second thing I would suggest is blow through the carto to clear any blockages. (use tissue or paper towel to blow into) Congratulations on your 2nd week!

 

[Bradder]

Sounds as if the feelings are unanimous - the eGo type battery is a great way to start. The double battery kits are terrific.
If you happen to spend a lot of time at your computer, you might want to look into a USB Passthrough or a PCC.
Rhapsodies also mentioned the most important "accessory of all: lots of paper towels.

I agree with everyone. I am new to this as well and did alot of reading, researching and watched the videos here. I went with the Riva 510 because of the long battery life because I drive all day on my job. Great throat hit and produces lots of vapor. I also got a Joye 510 to use while at home to drip with. I absolutely LOVE both of them.
Liberty-Flights is where I got mine (both) so in total I spent about 100.00 on:
Riva 510 starter kit (2 batteries, 2 atomizers, chargers, 5 empty cartridges)
Joye 510 starter kit (all of the above)
7 juices
2 boxes empty cartridges
This link will connect to the site and they have 20% off the total purchase 20% off your whole order!

Another vote for the Ego/Rive 510.

Why don't you contact Drew and tell him your unhappy and see if he can offer any suggestions. You don't have enough posts yet to post in his section of the board but you could email him. I emailed him about juice and he answered right away.

Oh My Goodness. You are in a bit of a pickle, aren't you?

First off - Welcome to ECF Forum and the world of vaping. Glad you found us. Wish you would have found us before you made your Greenworld purchase. But you didn't, so we'll have to see what we can do.

Forgive me if you've already answered these questions. I missed the answers.
How long have you had your GreenWorld unit?
Do they have a warranty or guarantee?

If they don't have a warranty or guarantee to fall back on, did you pay for this with your credit card? (please say yes)
The reason I say this is because it sounds to me like your unit is not working the way it should. It certainly is not working to your satisfaction, nor providing you with the vaping experience you deserve. You need to contact the company immediately and tell them you are unhappy, want to return this unit and want a refund. Do not expect to be refunded for the return shipping. That is not a standard operating practice in most companies. You Must send it back to the company with Proof Of Delivery - Delivery Confirmation will provide the necessary proof of delivery. You need to be able to prove to your credit card company that the item was returned to the supplier. Some credit card companies require this proof before they will issue you a credit for defective merchandise.

Do what it takes to get your money back and/ OR - get this unit replaced. You might want to think about getting into one of the many reputable, reliable, tried & tested pv's others have recommended to you here in these notes.

Do not believe everything you read on a suppliers website. Some (I stress Some - that is Not All - Just Some) of them pay big money to have people write great copy for them. You are better off coming to an open and impartial forum, like ECF, and pick the brains of ordinary, everyday people - like us.

I think you should be able to resolve this rather quickly by communicating with your supplier.

Hope this helps a little,
Happy Vaping,
Paula

yes, i think i will try to contact the retailer-- drew-- again. I wrote before when I recieved it but didn't hear back, but perhaps i sent it to the wrong address.
I'll try again. and maybe he can replace or something.
I will also get on line and order another one. i just need one asap -- staying off the "analogs" is challenging.
does anyone know where I can find an email for nhaler/drew?

you all are so helpful-- thank you

 

[strongheart]

How long have you had your GreenWorld unit?


i recieved it on tuesday of this week


Do they have a warranty or guarantee?

i think so. it is from nhaler.com

 

[pkj]

I went to their website and clicked contact. It is only one of those fill in the blank forms. No phone. No email address on the form. No alternate address. No phone number popped up when I googled Nhaler. ?????? Talk about lack of contact info on the website ?!?!?!?!??

You need to have a certain number of posts and then you are allowed to post throughout the entire forum. Right now, you are only allowed to post here in the new members section. So hit reply and tell me something - anything. Get your posting count up a little and you will be able to go here:

Nhaler

that is the nhaler section here on the ECF forum. I'm willing to bet that if you post something over there you will get some help / answers / contact info, etc.

So hit reply and respond to this thread a couple times. Get that count up. I think you need 5 posting. You can read about the posting thing here:

Hope this helps.

Me again,
I went to the Nhaler website and found this info:

# Return Policy
#

There are no returns or refunds accepted once payment has been completed. There is only a 14 day warranty on all warrantied parts from the time of order being placed.There is no warranty on atomizers. All warranty parts must be returned to NHaler before a new replacement will be shipped. If you experience faults with your product after the 14 day warranty has expired, please contact NHaler directly to assess the situation and discuss a reasonable solution.

All parts covered under the 14 day period will be replaced once they have been shipped back to NHaler at the purchasers expense. This 14 day warranty starts at the time the order is placed. The warranty is to basically cover items from be D.O.A. or from a very premature failure. All items deemed to be damaged from misuse will not be covered under the warranty, and may be returned to the customer at their own expense.

Get on this really fast. This warranty is ticking away as we sit here and chat.

Paula

Can that be right? The warranty starts when the order is placed???
