New, starting with eGo CC

[JLR9]

Hi I'm new to vaping and wanting to try something new. I don't/ didn't smoke cigarettes but do smoke cigars. So I'm hoping I can get some good cigar flavored ejuice. I got married a few weeks ago but we have lived together for the last year or so. And ever since we started living together I've smoked a lot less, because my wife has really bad asthma. So before I would only smoke when I was golfing and the smoke wouldn't be on me or when one of us was away for the weekend.
I picked up a krave disposable but it was terrible and didn't taste like a cigarette I've ever had. So I decided to get an eGo CC smart kit from cignot with clove and cappuccino juice. I also ordered two cigar flavors from want2vape.
Hopefully this setup will let me enjoy a less harmful cigar without sending my wife to the hospital too. If you have any other cigar flavor recommendations let me know.

great site, I've learned a lot the few days I've been reading so far.

Hi Jlr9,
Welcome. Congrats on the switch and wedding! Good that you have something more substantial than a disposable or a cig a like. I believe those do little to people who want to quit. I relapsed after trying those and granted im a former heavy smoker.

For tobacco flavours, i liked the Smooth juice from Blue Mist Vapors (now called Azure?). Its a menthol mixed in with tobacco leaves taste. Another great one was the Kretek juice from Tasty Vapors which is true tobacco clove taste. But tasty vapor juices need to steep before vaping it. Good luck!

Thanks for the welcomes. I'll look into those flavors truckdrivinmama, and thanks for the links to those threads vapoor.

Hi JLR9 - we're in very similar situations. Also a cigar smoker trying to phase into vaping. Just ordered my first, supposed to be here tomorrow. I'll let you know if the nutty tobacco flavor I got is any good.

 

[JLR9]

Thanks aces, I should get the ego, and clove and cappuccino flavors on Saturday. The two cigar flavors should be here early next week.

How the heck are you supposed to fill this thing? I do as the instructions say, but juice just floods out the other end. It doesn't fill at all. What am I doing wrong here?

What are you trying to fill?

Congratulations on both! I think you'll be very happy with your choice of setup and vendor. I just ordered 3 black ego CCs (I think Cignot's the only vendor that has them yet) and 2 more silvers from there if that tells you how much I like them.

Thanks patkin, both packages came in yesterday. So I filled it with the alcazar liquid, charged the battery when I went to sleep. I'm going to test it out today.

I filled mine from the bottom and it seemed to work fine.

Getting the bottom off without the atty coming with it is tricky until it wears in. At least mine was when it was new. Unscrew the base and then put it back on if the atty came with it but only do a couple of turns and pull. Now the atty should have come off and you'll see a burled part to used to tighten the atty in the base. Make sure its in there good by turning that before replacing on the body after filling. Now you should also see the gasket with a hole in it on the body. Fill there by placing a needle nose bottle or syringe in the hole. If you received a spare gasket with your ego cc, that's where to put it if the original wears out which it will over time.

I'm new too!! What is steep? I thought you just bought the juice & put it in your tank?

 

[craighwk]

First, I apologize for my reply yesterday. I didn't really give much information and I didn't post it in the proper place.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. Like others said, if you just dump juice into the chamber like I was doing, it'll leak through the sides of the tank and out the other end. I didn't realize you had to inject the juice directly into the hole. Once I figured that out, the tank has been working like a champ. Thanks !

Its rare to find a pre-steeped juice. Most of them need at least a few days steeping when received. Some taste good or are at least vapable just out of the mail box but get even better after a while. I always give a juice at least a week steeping which includes the time it took being delivered to me. In my experience though if a juice tastes downright horrid when received, no amount of steeping is going to make it vapable for you. Of course, one can always try and don't throw it out. After all, it does contain nicotine in most cases and may be "saved" with some DIY efforts. Do a search for steeping to see how people do it.

Edit: Most complex tobacco juices require fairly long steep times. Once I found my ADV, I just make sure I always have a bottle on the shelf steeping before what I'm currently using runs out. Although the particular tobacco I like tastes pretty good right out of the mail, I play it safe this way.
