New to E-Cig, Have a question about liquid

[Norry]

Hi All,

I purchased a Green Smoke a month ago, quit analogs cold-turkey and have been very happy with it. I wish I had found this forum before I may have gone with a less expensive unit but hindsight is 20/20.

Anyway on to my question. The Green Smoke is a 2 piece unit. My hubby took one apart after I finished it and we saw that it had a cotton type piece which was connected to a heating element. I have been looking at the e-liquids (which is cheaper than new cartridges) and I was wondering if anyone new if I could use the e-liquid in my Green Smoke cartridges.

I had read some forums where they said you had to be careful because I have a manual battery (has a hole in the top). I did take a syringe and put water into the end of the cartridge and it didn't leak or make a mess. So before I spend the money on the e-liquid I thought I'd ask the question.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I don't have enough posts for the ask a vet forum yet.

Thanks in advance to any who answer.

If your battery has a hole and is UNsealed then its an auto not a manual - a manual has a button that you press in order to vape - an auto vapes by you sucking on it (like a vacuum cleaner for some of them lol).
I dont know much about hte Greensmoke but I do know a lot of members here started on one so may be able to help with refilling.
As far as 'would ejuice work with a greensmoke' yes it would - as to whether refilling is easy - not sure (but someone will know).

Thanks for the correction. I was thinking auto and typed manual. Duh!

Hi Norry-
Yes you can indeed refill Greensmoke cartomizers with e-juice and its much cheaper than their (GS) inflated prices. My first e-cig was the greensmoke and although I have moved onto bigger and better ones, I still get good usage from the greensmoke cartomizers (most of which are around 3 months old). Find a good e-juice you like (stay away from 100% vg juices as they clog up and bog down the carts, but a pg/vg mix works fine) then just pop the rubber end off of the cart, drip about 10 drops in (sometimes less or it will leak) and let it sit for 30 minutes or so before use. Always make sure the end you connect to the battery is not leaking before you screw it on, this could kill an auto battery (lost one that way myself). I have found that most GS carts can be refilled around 10 times before they get completely gunked up and stop producing vapor. Good luck and if you have more ?'s just ask, someone will surely be able to answer them.

Thanks so much for the info. I figured it would work but I wanted verification from someone who had done it before I tried. Any recommendations on a good vg/pg liquid that works for you.

Thanks in advance!!!

I refilled cartomizers on my Premium brand KR808 using the "condom method" You can only refill them a couple of times before you want to toss them, but it does work.

The condom method explained will teach you how to do it. I found it very helpful.

EDIT: OOO I can actually post videos!!!! Thought I was only posting a link to it hehe. awesome

A forum buddy on another site suggested this forum so I came here to see if anyone else had refilled the auto carts.

I did a test with water to see if my cart would leak jus because I was curious.

I was stumped on how to add the liquid but I came up with an idea that got me some funny looks. I went to my local pharmacy and took a cart in with me and asked the pharmacist if they sold syringes over the counter that were small enough to fit the hole. (this was before I found out the rubber tip could be removed without destroying the cart). Anyway they had some diebetic 1ml syringes that worked great. Only 3 bucks for a 10 pack.

We did get a laugh when I had to fill out a form with my name & phone number asking what the syringes were for. I'm still waiting to get a phone call from the man since my answer was "To refill my e-cigarette with nicotine/flavor liquid." The pharmacist told me "that's a first"

Whatever works, right.

After trying tons of different juices, I would highly recommend Vapor Station--vsvapor.com
All of their stuff has been great, they have excellent tobacco flavors (much better than alot of the stuff out there) as well as other great food/drink flavors. They sell a sampler pack- ten 5ml bottles of your flavor choices for $25.00, a great way to try tons of flavors. My personal favs from them are Tampa, Tennessee, Texas and Phoenix.

Hey Norry,

Glad you popped over here. I'm not really helpful with the Greensmoke. The offer is still good if you want to try some Tasty Vapor flavors. Just PM me either here or BFG.
